Excise law yesterdays but this did not prevent
good business being carried on by the lquor-seers.
Thirsty individuals had no difficulty IN getting in
the side doors. There were few arrests made by the
wary police.
Officers Cumskey and Gilgan effected an en-
trance last night INTO No. POI South Fifth-ave and
found ten in the place drinking beer and plav-

Schneider the proprietor, who jumped upon the
