49,, order Of Chief OF Police George
eNos,s anent the closing OF the saloons
sunday proved TO be gllttoring
,,,ce Yesterday, for 10 per cent OF the
sran, shops were doing rushing bust
ness all day.
while the traffic In LIQUOR on the Sab
,,,h day was not so glarlnely open as
Va. been the custom for months past
,0vertheless there was apparently no
diaculty in getting stimulant In large
or small quantities yesterday
BRASS BAND RAID.
Tho whole proceeding was not devoid
~ humor. For instance, the police
made dash for poor lone paso
.sioon down near the Rio Grande depot
A private citizen telephonef into head
onarters that the place was open, so 1t
No. Nm TO the police department To in
yesticate. Accordingly the patrol wa
con MAS loaded IN with a couple of
osicers IN uniform and a run was made
IA fhe scene with the gong changing.
The Law sailed majestically along First
south. down East Temple Ia Second
sonth. En- route the patrol wagon
rassed a number OF saloons doing bus
mess m the old sweet way The officers,
boveyer were after big game, they
desired to show the public that they
rroposed 10 put stop 10 THIS nefar-
;Ms drink traffic on the sabbath day;
furthermore they proposed to get that
Italian, dead or alive. for having the
tsrnity 10 break the law. The patrol
wagon made an awful racket going
down Second South aud when the OFF,
GERS. armed to the teeth. rushed up TO
the door OF the saloon-.Curses, More
curses! The door was locked So they
drove back TO town without their hor-
rible example.
Had the patrol wagon tarried at
"Jm" McTiernay's OH Second South.
or at the White House bar, round the
corner on Main, half dozen wagon
loads OF law breakers could have been
hauled away. As IL was the officers re-
turned TO police headquarters and re-
ported that everything was closed up.
However, some individuals strolled
out Of the warm saloons in a beastly
state Of intoxlcation ana were gathered
10 and thrown IN Jail. The fact that
they imbibed too freely on sunday cost
them the usual S.
The proper explanation forthcoming
Is to the effect that these men bought
their liquor on Saturday night and
came up town on Sunday to sober up,
at least that is the theory of the OFF,
GERS, who are sure there was not a
place of business in the wet goods line
open yesterday
IN the meantime the patrolmen
walked their beats yesterday without
Any orders to arrest tho proprietors Of
1@ns who We're breaking the law.
MANY PLACES OPEN.
The only difference yesterday OBJ
served were the presence of lookouts
az all saloons doing business. Men
loatei against the cigar stands In front
ald sized up those who tried the door.
I The individual passed muster the
Key was turned and he was allowed TO
walk back to the bar Wire everything
vas made as warm and as comfortable
as possible for the patron.
AZ McTiernay's saloon the following
4 the order to be observed If q man
wants a drink next Sunday. Walk
| ITaight In then turn 10 the left and
Knock on the office door. When this Is
opened turn TO the right and walk be-
4 md The bar through to q back room.
N due season ask and we shall receive
ioT consideration. The proprietor can
pIemnly swear that no drinks are sold,
o. even passed across his bar on the
sabbath day, perish the thought.
Down at the White House bar such
eehnlealities are scorned. Walk right
p ana you VIII generally find the pro-
Flelor and a barkeeper working like
mules while the cash register jingles
IKE unto a bobsleish. Such subter-
tuses as back rooms and thigh signs"
are seoffed at-the good old fashioned
WY good enough, besides 1t saves
lot OF precious time.
OPEN FOR BUSINESS.
This state OF affairs held good at the
Kenyon bar The Wilson, The Cllft
mouse, The Old Resort, Mahon & Co.,
me Vienna Buffet, feur de Lis. Re
sans tWo-thirds Of the dives on Com
ueleai street and the State street
saloons' on Second South there were
gql Two saloons closed. The Antler and
e establishment owned by the late
ndf'es Auer Even the saloon owned
,9uncllman Martin MulVey was do
WI business at the old stand, although
esl OF the patrons went to the req
ssuiant next door west and received
%sW Packages OF liquid stlmulant
~,Ough the hole IN the wall.
~ nc meantime II was patent to even
pihu man yesterday that tho saloons
Nv open for business, because blind
~ 1 o was observed to tap HIS way out
y one place on Commercial street dur
the afternoon.
suii the order was given on Saturday
msnlns that the saloons should close
llght on sunday. The police did not
TSu'er a single one open yesterday.
"a, Ns inference Is that the police were
lnllsty yesterday. The most char
EN-, 'Is theory to be advanced, however,
oMa.at me police are IN dire need OF the
Y"Ves Of a competent ocullst.
