LIQUOR MEN TOOK NO CHANCES
The Thirsty In the TenderloGn OBJ
tanned Drinks Only Under the Most
Aggravating Conditions - Small
Shopkeepers Compelled TO Close.

New York, April 1.-THE police and
the liquor dealers gave Greater New
York a dry" Sunday yesterday. The
day had no equal in the suspension
Of the liquor traffic since five years
ago, when Superintendent Thomas F.
Byrnes tightly closed the saloons one
memorable Sunday. Few liquor deal
ers yesterday had the temerity to keep
open and serve drinks alone, and Of
those who did the majority were in
vited to visit the nearest police sta
ton, there to remain until bondsmen
appeared.
In the "Tenderloin," now known as
the White Light" district, liquor was
sold, but only under conditions which
proved drawbacks to many of the
thirsty. In many of the saloons the
shades were drawn in the bar-rooms,
but it Is said improvised bars were
established in upstairs rooms. In q
few places the proprietors are alleged
to have established what is known
as the Kansas speak-easy," or
blind pig" consisting Of a circular
opening in a wooden partition, into
which was fitted q round board ar
ranged so as to swing about. On each
side of the round door was a shelf, on
which the bartender could serve
drinks to the waiter without being
seen, and even if the police had sue
ceeded in getting in they could not
have arrested the bartender, as no
one could sea him.
Drinks We're served all day in the
dining rooms of the big Broadway and
Fifth avenue hotels, and although
they were sold within the prescribed
hours, no attempt at interference
was made. No one, however, was per-
mitted to sit down and order a drink,
even though he ordered q sandwich
at the same time. The hotel folk
insisted that something akin to a sub
stantial meal at least be ordered
For the first time in many years
the saloons in the residence section
in upper Harlem were all closed. De
spite the excise excitement In the
city from time to time, the liquor
dealers in that section have kept open.
On the Bowery it was exceedingly
hard to get drink. The saloon
keepers were not ready to take
chances Of arrest, and for the most
part kept their doors locked.
The POLICE also compelled the small
shopkeepers throughout the city to
close, except that the grocers and
delicatessen shops were permitted to
keep open until 10 o'clock, as pro-
vided by law.
Seventy-nine arrests for violations
OF the excise law were made in Man
haitian and the Bronx between the
hours Of midnight Saturday and II
o'clock last night. There were in
these two boroughs IA arrests for VIC.
lations of other Sunday closing laws.
In Brooklyn the police reported q ar
rests for violation Of the excise laws;
there was one in Richmond and none
in Queens. This is a total Of 121, as
against ga on Sunday, March 30.

BARK MAX BADLY OFF
French Vessel That Hit the Walla
Walla Had Exciting Experience.
CHARGES BY HER SKIPPER.
He Claims That the Lookout ON
Coaster Must Have Been IntOx-
fcated, hut Captain Hall
Gives u Vigorous Denial.

San Francisco, Jan. 1.-THE French
bark Max, Captain Benoist, which was
In collision with and sank the steamer
Walla Walla not far from Trinidad
last Thursday morning, causing the
loss Of about forty lives. and which
has been towed to thi~ port, was badly
damaged in the accident. Her jib-
boom, made of hollow steel, was bro
ken and twisted. and the tip Of it trail
ed In the water OH the port side of the
vessel and at about a right angle with
the line Of the hull. Her stem was
twisted, and great. gaping holes had
been torn in her bow. There was one
almost at the water line and another
a few feet above. Only her water
tight compartments kept her from
sinking.
The French vessel left Glasgow 100
days ago, bound for this port. She
was i'm ballast and consigned to Fred
erick Henry. Her captain had little to
say regarding the disaster except that
his vessel was closely following the
rules of the road when the steamer
came under the bows of his bark. He
declared that the lights of the Max
We're properly burning and displayed
and that the men of his crew saw the
steamer for long time before the col
lision.

He then added I'VE could think of
did not see us, and as the vessels ap-
preached we became anxious. Then it
was too late The steamer had tried
to cross our bow. but had failed. just
before the crash came the steamer
swung slightly to port as though an
effort was being made to pass to our
stern, but the change in her course had
been made too late.
"The bark struck the steamer almost
amidships on the port side. For mo-
ment they hung together and then
drifted apart. Our vessel was so bad
ly damaged we thought she would
sink. and under the circumstances we
had all we could do to take care of
ourselves. BY daylight we had beaten
we'll out toward the sea and We're safe
from the breakers. but our vessel was
to a great measure unmana geable.
ION Saturday morning we accepted
tow from the steam schooner Acme.
which later was aided by the cutter
McCulloch."
The captain added that he thought
the lookout on the Walla Walla was
intoxicated. but this charge is emphat-
ically denied by Captain Hall Of that
vessel. who says there were three men
On watch at the time. Second Officer
Lecha valier of the Max told substan-
