DRY SUNDAY INVADEs NEW YORK
Only the Man with the Price of q
Beer and Sandwich Was
Happy.

New York. April THE police and
the liquor dealers gave Greater New
York dry" Sunday yesterday.
Though there were degrees of dryness.
so to speak. in different sections of
the metropolis. the day has had no
equal in the suspension of the liquor
traffic since five years ago. when SUI
perintendent Thomas +. Byrnes tight
ly closed the saloons one memorable
Sunday. On that occasion those seek
ing spirituous refreshment We're COM
PEELED to resort to places outside of
Chief Byrnes' sphere of influence. His
task, however. is said to have been
easier than that which confronted the
police yesterday. for he had no Raines
law hotels with their sandwiches to
contend with. These hotels must be
taken into consideration, therefore,
when the word dry is used in con.
nection with the events of yesterday:
for the man who had cash to buy a
sandwich and a drink had small diff
Guilty in shaking his thirst.
How 1t Was Brought About.
This successful closing of the sa-
looms was brought about by n volun-
teer movement among the police, who
held Il meeting Saturday and decided
to do all IN their power TO keep closed
every liquor saloon in the city on Sun
day. There We're 1000 men present at
the meeting and they agreed to foregO
their rest and take no sleep until >
a. III. Monday. that being the time ut
which the saloons can legally open
after closing Saturday night.
Driest Portion of the Old Town.
Few liquor dealers had the temerity
to keep open and serve drinks alone,
and Of those who did the majority were
invited to- visit the nearest police sta
ton. there to remain until bondSmen
appeared. UnqueStiOnably the driest
part of New York was that section
known as the West Thirty-seventh
street police precinct. Only one al
legged violdtOr of the excise law was
found by the lynx-eyed officers. and
only two or three Raines law hotels
opened their doors. and the proprietOrs-
saw that the law was closely OBJ
served.
Big the Hotels and isowery,
Drinks were served aH day in the
dining roc ms of the big Broadway and
Fifth avenue hotels. and although they
were sold within the prescribed hours
no attempt e Interference was made.
No one. however was permitted to sit
down and order Il drink. even though
he order cd Il sandwich at the same
time. The hotel folk insisted that some
thing akin to Il substantial meal at
least be ordered. On the Bowery il
was exceedingly hard to get drink.
The salOOnkeepers were not ready to
take chances of arrest. and for the
most part kept their doors locked.

The Cost Is Said to Exceed 100000.

Basement plans for the palatial resi-
dence shortly to be erected on Summit

plans, it will exceed the 100000 mark
The new residence will adjoin the
home Of Mr.. HIPS father, J. J. Hill,

will be largely marble in it's exterior
decoration. Much steel structural work
will also enter into its construction.
Work will be commenced on the foun-
dation as soon as the plans are APP
proved by the building department. 1t

Lief Ramin and Dudley Mack, two
boys, turned a freight car loose at
Post Siding yesterday morning, and
the subsequent collision which result

the extent of, SIS. There is a steep in
cline about 100 yards long, and an
empty freight car was at the top, with
the brakes set. In climbing over the
ears the boys hit upon the idea of
loosening the brakes and enjoying a
ride. The car started slowly at first.
put gathered momentum every second
ana was soon going so fast that the
boys on top heard the telegraph poles
humming as they passed. When the
tlme came to set the brakes and stop
the car the boys discovered that they
mad started something that had gotten
beyond their control. The flying car
crashed into another car at the bottom
OF the grade and smashed a draw
mead. The boys continued along the
right of way for a considerable dis
lance after the car had stopped, but
escaped with a few slight bruises. Lief
Ramin was in the police court yester-
day charged with malicious destruc-
uon Of property. He was allowed to
return home with his parents. The

J. Adam Bede is agitating the prop
ositiOn for a great national summer
school at Duluth again. He believes
such national educational institute
permanent in character, could be or
Sanized TO hold a months session every
summer on the shores of Lake Supe-
rior, courses of lectures and instruction
to be given by the most distinguished
educators of the country. He thinks
that If such national summer school
were founded it would mean from
5000 to 10000 educators visiting Du-
Iuth every summer, and he says it
would be great thing for the state of
Minnesota. Mr.. Be, e says:
Duluth is the natural location for a
great national summer school. There
Is no good reason why there should not
be 5000 educators in Duluth for sew
eral weeks every summer. We are too
busy now with our prosperity to think
OF little things, but some day a move
ment to this end will be inaugurated
and the school made a great feature of
the state. The best educators of the
world could be secured and the time
spent on the banks of Gitchee Gumme
would be an outing and a rest for them
all. Let us have the school and the
culture it would give us.
our National Educational associa-
ton meetings are great things, and
draw thousands of teachers, but a
summer school of this kind would be
even more important and more attrac-
tive TO teachers. 1t would be recrea-
ton and rest as Well as culture and
Improvement. 1t would be a great
thing for the teachers of our own state.
The attendance at our summer train
ing schools is decreasing. Educators
say that nothing must take their place.
What more helpful substitute could
there be than a great national meeting
OF this kind where our teachers could
come in contact daily with the greatest
minds of the educational profession of
the entire country, receiving from such
contact great help and inspirations"
