TO CLOSE SUNDAY BARS.
Lac Enforcement Society Hints at
4DDeaL to GOUernOr.

Tba law enforcement Society has just made
public correspondence which took place between
the society and Patrick F. MCGOWAN. acting Mayor
in reference the closing of the saloons in
Greater New York Sunday. On August the
society wrote Mr.. MCGOWAN asking that. IN
view OF the crime wave which was sweeping over
the city. he would have Acting Police Commis-
sioner O'KeefTe order all the saloons closed on
Sunday August II.
In another letter sent TO Mr.. MCGOWAN en August
12 the society calls attention 20 the fact that the
saloons were not closed on August ~ and that the
police made no effort to close them. the Acting
Commissioner reporting that he had issued no Or
ders TO that effect officers OF the society say
that they cannot understand why the order was
not given. for II II there IS not police III
spectOr captain in the city that could not CLOSE
the saloons in his district. In closing the letter
the society asks what assurance Mr. McGowah
can give that the saloons will be closed next
Sunday.
In a letter sent to the society by Mr. MCGOWAN
It was seen that Mr.. McGowan had forwarded the
society's letter of August to Commissioner
O.Keerfe and asked that something to done about
the continued violation OF the law on Sunday oy
the saloonkeepers. In an answer 10 thls letter 'e
society wrote the following letter:
I'VE had just mailed letter of the 18TH to you
when yours of the date came to hand we
gratlhed to know that you have called the at
tention of the Acting Commissioner of Police TO
our communication of the 9Th inst. and called for
report We would be pleased 70 see copy OF TINS
report when received by you
I'VE assume that the reason why you did not 90
this last week was that you desired TO leave the
Acting Commissioner untrammelled hoping, as we
did. that he would the necessity OF issuing MS
order on his own volition the police under his
direction 10 close the saloons last Sunday. As the
Acting Commissioner failed in this. IL devolves
upon you that It is done for next Sunday
1t is no answer for Mr.. O'Keeffe TO say that the
police know their duty. We know that. We also
know that police understand their duty 10 be 20
obey orders and TO leave the Interpretation of the
law to their superiors. Our experience demon
strates thet whenever orders have been issued to
the police 10 close the saloons the saloons have
been closed.
LAS believers In home rule and I'm the efficacy OF
our uniformed police force hope it will not be
necessary call in the assistance Of the Governor
10 see that the law IS enforced.
