This controversy arises over the con-
struction of the law as to what consti

YeSterday--Arrested Three Times.

New York, August 11.-Many new
and interesting features in the fight of
the saloon keepers against the police,
which were promised for to-day, did
net materialize and the day simply fell
into line with the other Sundays which
have intervened since the reform police
board took hold Of the municipal ad-
ministration. 1t was a pretty dry"
day but a shade pleasanter for the
thirsty who have learned the scheme
for securing drinks behind closed doors.
To the stranger and the uninitiaed
the day was almost as dry as any of the
past half dozen Sundays. Few liquor
dealers took advantage Of the privilege
Of keeping their places open which has
lately been deoreed legal, provided
liquors are not given away or sold. The
most notable instance was that of
Steve BrOdie. who had no end of trou-
BILE in carrying on a charitable enter
prise in his saloon. BrOd;e was giving
away lemonade and taking a collection
for a free ice fund when the police ar
rested him for breaking the Sabbath
law, but he was promptly discharged
by Magistrate Cornell. Afterward he
was arrested twice, but each time was
released and resumed business.
