LIQUOR MEN ARRAIGNED.
Supt. Byrnes's Excise Law Order
Hearing Considerable Fruit.

As a result of the order sent out by
Superintendent OF Police Byrnes a few
days ago concerning the enforcement of
the Excise law, several cases came up in
Yorkville Court this morning.
Patrick Connell, bartender for Michael
Dowling, OF 63s Third avenue. was ar
raigned by Policeman Cahill OF the East
Thirty-fifth street station. who entered
the saloon at 1.30 A. NJ. and found three
men drinking beer at the bar. He was
refused a drink. and arrested the bar
owen Caffrey, of 1927 Second avenue.
at A. NJ, had six men playing pool In
his place. The otner cases were those OF
Patrick Golden, bartender for Patrick
Smith, OF 1918 Second avenue; Alfred j.
Chips, of 3O6 West Forty-eghth street,
and John J. Leonard. of 490 West Fifty
first street
All OF the arrested men claimed that
they were not selling anything, but were
just counting up the days receipts or
cleaning up.
Ju itice Voorhis remarked that the sa-
looms OF New York must be very clean
places II It took several hours every
light to clean them, but In his own
experience he had not found them such
clean places. 1t seemed coincidental,
too, that tho hour just after l A. NJ.
should be chosen to clean up.
With this reflection on their veracity,
the Justice held each man in 500 bail for
trial.
