VERY DRY.
Saloons in New York Closed Tight on
Sunday.
Even the Hotels and Cafes Were Warned
by Oficers Sent Around for That Pur-
pose .igainst Selling Liquor on
Sunday-Grea. Many Arrests.

New YORK, Oct. Frightened by
the stringent measures Of the police,
the sa,oonkeepers Sunday closed their
doors tight; not only the front doors,
but the side doors and back doors and
family entrances as well, and even
those doors that lead through dark and
devious passages from adjacent alley
ways TO the longed-for goal.
1t would not do to state that every
saloon in New York was closed, for q
good many dealers, after surrounding
their places with guards, did a little
cautious and trcmulous business; but
more red tape accompanied the process
of getting wet goods in these places
than would be necessary to secure al
audience with the shah Of Persia.
Even the hotels and cafes were
warned by officers sent around for that
purpose q gainst selling any liquor, ex=
cept with regular meal. and if a man
wanted to get q drink in an eating
house he had to order food and pay for
it: The drug stores were also dry.
Down on parl! fow there were two
saloons which were at great pains to
accommodate their patrons. One Of
them was the place known as the Beg
gar's Rest Standing On an adjacent
corner the reporter saw several men
walking along by the saloon dis
appear downward, as if the earth
had swallowed them up. Going nearer
he found that there was large trap
door in the sidewalk leading into the
cellar under the place. Outside door
stood rcd-faced man, and a crowd of
tough-looking individuals lounged
about. at intervals. apparently by
signal two or three of these would dis
appear down the trap door. But over
in Hobol1en beer flowed freely, as it al
ways does, and the thirsty went in
such crowds to Brooklyn that mes
sengers were sent hurrying from ali
the big places for extra bartenders.
The Jefferson market police capri
was crowded with excisa: eases. Police:

isueshong, a bartender.
