SHTVER And GET Il DRINK.
Outside BootbIacks the Only Unusual
Feature IN Harlem.

Harlem, which according to many saloon
keepers is "the cleanest district in the city,
wide open yesterday. From observations
made in the street every saloon appeared TO be
closed tighter than a drum, but in The back
rooms the flowing bowl was much in evidence.
and the fossil sandwich was brought in with
each drink or thrown carelessly the wet
tables
A noteworthy feature was the unusually
large number OF bootblacks polishing shoes on
portable stands in front Of the saloons. The
temperature yesterday when the Harlem dis
trict was visited. was below the freezing mark.
yet there were no window cards reading. Shoes
polished inside"
A newsdealer in the neighborhood of One
hundred-and-twenty-f -ffth-st. and Third-ave.. in
explaining the situation, said that the boot
blacks were used ''lookouts" and were COM
PEELED to keep watch while shining shoes.
A zigzag route through Harlem. from One
hundred and d-twenty- -fifth-st. TO the Harlem
River from the East Side to the West. was
taken as a means Of ascertaining whether or not
the excise law was being enforced. OF the
many saloons visited on that route only two
could not be entered. The side door of a corner
place at One-hundred-and-twenty -sxth-st. and
Third-ave. was found 10 be locked. The boot
black at the front door asked If the place
was open. He hesitated a moment but when
the reporter shivered bit said: Sure! Go
along to the third door" Although the third
door appeared 10 lead into shop OF some sort.

saloon. In this place no sandwiches were in
sight, and several men sat at tables drinking
whiskey and beer The bartender was asked

1850 p. m, only one policeman was seen He
twenty-seventh-st. and Third-ave.. with his back
turned TO the side entrance of & corner saloon.
Many saloon keepers expressed themselves on
the problem Of enforcing the excise law. The
majority denounced the threats TO enforce the
law as absurd.
The owner Of West Side Harlem saloon
said:
There is only solution TO the excise prob
lem in a cosmopolitan city like New-York and
that Is by practical legislation You've got To
cut loose from sentiment and himsy ideals and
fling EN- 10 the four winds If you want TO get
a starting point in this liquor game This town
is an extension Of Europe. a European city on
American soil There is trouble over the
excise law in Germany and Great Britain
Bishop Potter knows this and he has given
out the correct idea of solution. DR.. Parkhurst

knows how things are done over in Europe yet

aas been nor can be realized.

IN THE POLICE COURTS.
Magistrate Ommen Heard That
TenderIoin Saloons We're Closed.

When two saloonkeepers were arraigned before
him yesterday. in jefferson Market police court
Magistrate Ommen declared that he had been told
the saloons in the Tenderloin all closed. He
was not surprised that more excise cases came
he said. for he felt that the impression Captain
Cottrell had created Ey arresting the forty-hve
saloon men Friday had been salutary. Patrick
Keogh, of No. S15 seventh-ave.. and John Dolan,
OF No. Isl Seventh-ave were charged with serving

here was not the slightest attempt to enforce
the excise law In Brooklyn yesterday. There were
less than half dozen arrests for alleged viola
lions of the excise law. although not one of the
many saloons that make practice Of keeping open
on Sunday was closed. on the orders OF Deputy
Police Commissioner Farrell Inspector McI.aughlin
had all the district inspectors before him on Sat
Urday afternoon and gave them instructions to see
that the excise law rot violated. The instruc-
tious seemed 10 have effect, for q Tribune re-
porter who made tour through several precincts
could not find that the police were showing any
ACTIVITY whatever in seeing that the law was OBJ
served. Had the orders been carried out scores of
arrests might have been made
In = few Of the places which are frequented BY
respectable people pretence Of observing the
law made in placing on each table a small
piece Of bread and a slice OF sausage but nobody
made any pretence of eating this Raines law meal
such places catered TO respectable trade had
rhciT drinking rooms exposed TO view from the
street, but in most places they were in the rear
reached only by a dark and sometimes winding
passage way. Ia such places men crowded around
a sign of anything 10 eat. Calls for sandwiches
IN several places were met with the reply that
tney did not have anything TO eat or did not keep

Engineer Rice of the Rapid Transit Comms-

be a good thing The City Club does not as

people but it declares shat the parks must DE
preserved for the people. preliminary report
on this subject made to Lawrence WELLER. the
secretary, says:
''The extension of the elevated TO One-hundred-

park is made near the Boston Road. IT would make
the Agassiz Lake. the waterfall and the Glen
quite accessible for those who wish to visit that
region of the park.
There are many specific reasons against this
plan. In the first place, the director says, that
1t would completely wipe out the collection of
zebras, wild horses. wild cattle and bison. the
place where they are is the only really de-
sirable spot.
1t would take at least five years to the
embarked road by trees at the least calculation
Even in the summer time it would be impossible
10 screen it wholly. except by high walls. which
of course"t is ridiculous TO consider In the winter
time, when the leaves off the trees they would
afford a still less adequate screen.
The portion of the park where il is proposed 10

many beautiful old trees. and ii would require
much blasting, since the route is covered with pic
