up awhile before retiring, but this did
not deter Jackson from breaking into
the house. with a good sized Jimmy he
forced open a back pariOr window and
made his way into the dining room, where
he found the silverware and the over
coats.
This is the way jackson himself coo!ly
told Police Capt, Pickett the story:

TIPS FOR DRY" SUNDAY.
Did Tammany Want to Catch
Certain Saloon-K eepers7
The Action OF the Police Causes
Some Comment.

The action OF the police in conncc-
ton with the excise arrests yesterday
was the cause of "A great deal of dis
cussion and comment to-day.
On Saturday all the saloon-keepers in
law would be strictly enforced on Sun
day. The fact that the police gave notice
that the law would be enforced was TAX
on as conclusive proof that the law Is
being violated with their knowledge and
consent. and that they are under obliga-
tions to the s~aloon-keepers to notify
them when a sporadic raid is in contem-
plation.
There were two explanations given
for the dry order" One was that
Tammany liz trying to make the public
believe that Or. Pnrkhurst Is after the
sai~oon-keepers and thus try Ia arouse
opposition to DR.. Parkhurst through II
certain element. The other was that
the order was issued by Richard Croker
to furnish Tammnny n preteXt for ar
resting certain sal%oon-keepers who have
refused TO support Tammany Hall.
The belief that the order was Issued
from Fourteenth street was strength
ened by the fact that all the saloons
owned by the Tammnny leaders and Of
fce-holders were closed as tight as n
drum. The other saloon-keepcrs usually
regulate their action in regard 10 clos
Ing and opening after hours and or Sun
day by the action OF some saloon
keeper who Is known to be high In the
councils OF Tammany Hall II who
would be sure to have the straight tip
on all movements by the police.
Those who did not follow the example
OF the leaders found that 1t Is more SER
ious to disobey the orders of Tummany
Hall than the law.
The Excise League will suggest to the
Legislature an amendment to the Excise
law that Is calculated to deprive Tam
many Hall and the police of the power
to give Immunity from prosecution tC
Saloon-kecperS In return for their ale
glance to Tammnny.
The proposed ~mendmen provides tina
all bars and barrooms must hc in full
view of the public after | o'clock a
night and on Sundays. The curtain
would n to be raised so that passcrs
by could see nat was going on inside
That would stop the sales after hours
the Excise League thinks, and wOul,
also effeCtually stop the alleged levyini
of blaCkmail for protection. The saloon
keepers are understood to he In favor o
