Norton, when asked this morning concerning the prohable lifting of the 'lid" tonight to please some of the people who ex pect to celebrate the passing of the old year and the ushering in of the new, said: "There has been some reports in the newspapers that the Mid' would probably bo removed for tonlghL but the writers have secured no ideas from this office that would load thorn to think that such a thing would be done The present liquor law coven New Year's eve, the same as any other night in the year, and I can see no reason why the department should permit the law to be broken tonight any more than at any other time. "A year ago statements were made in the papers that, as estimated. 500 Ogden people would go to Salt Lake City to celebrate New Year's eve, ow ing to the difference In the time of closing the saloons and cafes where liquor Is sold In the two cities. I did not think that the statements were true and, In order to learn the facts in the matter. I had a poll taken of the number of passengers carried hy the Bamberger, Oregon Short Line and Rio Grande trains out of Ogden This was done with the assistance of the ticket agents of the three roadfl A comparison of the salei on New Year's eve, with those of other nighL;, showed the traffic on that night to b less than normal. The estimate of the three roads showed that only a few more than 100 persons left Og den and quite a number of them were from intermediate stations between Ogden and Salt Lake City, who had spent the day visiting and doing their holiday marketing here " Regarding the use of firearms in the city tonight, the Chief said that the officers would be instructed to arrest anyone caught using firearms of any kind, whether they used blank cartridges or not. In other years, when the firing of blank cartridges has been allowed, some persons have stretched a point and used loaded ones. Mr. Norton was very' emphatic on this point and said that the law would be absolutely enforced as the danger of Injuries resulting from the indiscriminate use of firearms was too great to permit of any chances being taken In speaking as he did regarding the closing of the saloons. Chief Norton said that he did not want it under stood that he was radical on the sub ject, but that enforcement of the law at all time was the object of his department Last time tonight, the "Big Horn Massacre."
