ATLANTIC CITY's LID DOWN.
A Few Drinks Sold, But Crowds Go
ThirSty

ATLANTIC CITY, September Gov
Fort won another victory over the Allan
tic City liquor sellers yesterday. Visitors
found the resort dry from the closing hour
Saturday night until midnight last night
Special police watched a half dozen sus-
pcious places throughout the day and
evening, but could not obtain admittance
TO secure evidence.
Chief of Police Woodruff was in charge
of the crusade against those who broke
the Sunday-closlng agreement, and de-
clareS that arrests will be made of every
liquor seller against whom evidence can
be obtained.
A majority of the saloonkeepers obeyed
the letter of the Bishops law and nearly
every saloon was thrown open to view, to
show that there was no business being
done by the bars. If any attempt is made
to open next Sunday it will be without the
backing of the local administration and
will be strictly back-door business and
mainly in the lower quarter of the city,
where the purveyors to excursionists are
sore over their loss of Sunday profits
The police still Insist that they will make
| raids and arrests If any such opening is
| liquor men will be in the belief that grand
! juries will not find indictments.
Another attempt was made at midnight
| last night to start little enthusiasm in
cafes and saloons that might bring in
some of the dollars which the proprietors
| lost during the closed day and night, but
the returns were small Lacking the en-
couragement of early evening drinks. Wis
| itors went to bed before the stroke of IL
gave the signal for opening. and after
midnight patrons even OF the favorite
| beach drinking plaes could be numbered
by scores instead of the usual hundreds.
| Aside from the police watch over the
intended speakeasies, neither reformers
nor officers from the headquarters OF
| Prosecutor Goldenberg made much OF
a show. most of them appearing satisfied
! that the law was being enforced.

GENERAL NEWS GATHERED
ALONG THE RIVER FRONT

Buzzards Point on the Eastern branch
ia doomed as popular bathing place by
the plans for the deepening and widening
of the channel. A dredge is now working
there. and it is now dangerous for any
one but a good swimmer. The dredse has
made a cut through the sloping bottom
SO that it now drops off from about three
feet of water into twenty feet, and bath
ers who are unaware of this are likely to
find themselves in trouble should they at
tempt to use the old bathing ground. A
danger sign will be placed on the point.
The excursion season on the Potomac,
which opened May 80, generally closes by
Labor day. but this year the steamer

and Marshall Hall line and the colored
excursion steamers will run for a while
longer The steamer st. Johns, running
to Colonial Beach, is making her last
trip to the resort today. and when she
comes in tonight she will be laid up for
the winter. The excursion season just
closing was the best in weather that has
been had on the Potomac In many years,
and would have been an ideal season had
II not been for the cool rainy spell OF the
past two weeks. The excursion boats
have been well TatroniZed throughout the
summer, but the excursion managers say
spent at the resorts.
The tug William II. Yerkes, Jr., Of the
Taylor fleet. which ran into wreck and
was sunk off Point Lookout last week, was

holy father which were very comforting.
In France I was the guest of Leo Huffer

THE question of the appointment OF an
other American cardinal rests entirely
with the holy father. Nobody would pre-
sumo to question him on the subject.

LIE RIOT BRoKE orr

New York, says there is much excite
ment in Holland and there is no doubt
that Venezuela will be attacked, unless
some adjustment of the international diff
ficulty Is made by Castro. The Dutch
government has a full understanding OF
the international complications which may
follow an attack on Venezuela. but it
counts on the good will of all nations
which have had trouble with Castro, in
Guiding our own.
The navy yards in Holland are working
full time and every preparation is being
made for the most serious event. Hol-
lands army is modified form OF militia
AS Holland has never been an agrees
sive country. it's army is intended 1or
home defense alone, and service in 1t ls
to some extent, voluntary-that is. men
are recruited SO far as is possible, put
most of them are obtained by conscrip-
ton Annually 1850 men are enlisted,
of whom 400 are assigned to sea service
The peace strength of the Netherlands
army is Al 900 men of all ranks and arms
but the men of the reserve would bring
this force up to 100000 men In time OF
war and the second reserve would prlng

land is hardly more important than its
army 1t contains one battleship of o.3oo
tons, four of 5000 tons and three of 81
tons In addition to these there are sew
en- cruisers.
Dutch Minister'S Act.
Hollands trouble with Venezuela is due
to the indiScretion of the Dutch minister
to Caracas, who wrote an article for
foreign paper severely criticising the gov
eminent to which he was accredited.
Castro quite naturally resented this and
Holland promptly disavowed the act and
apoiogized. But Castro was not satisfied
with asking the recall of the minister in
the usual way. He turned him out Of the
country without notice.
When the minister arrived at the Dutch
Island of Curacao, which is just north
Of Venezuela. the people were so enraged
that they promptly mobbed the Eenezue-
Ian agent. Lopez. at the club, and Lopez
was obliged to take refuge at the Ger
man consulate. Later he and his assist
ant, Gramcke. were taken to the VeneZue-
! Ian ship Maracaibo, which was in the
| harbor, and transported to Venezuela. 1t
was necessary to guard them on the way
| to the ship, and when the Maracaibo
| sailed the next morning the mob stood
| on the dock and threw stones after her.
The mob which attacked Lopez was led
| by Isidore van Lier. who is now a popu-
lar hero. United States interests in the
matter were guarded by the little gun
boat Marietta.

It.
This summers rest will have been the
shortest vacation the President has taken
in some years. if the present plans are
carried out While it has been a shorter
holiday, it has been unprecedented in the
amount of work done. During the last
month it has not been an uncommon oc-
currence to have the Presidents secretary
make night visit to Sycamore Hill in
ADDITION to the regular morning call, and
the executive offices in the village have
sometimes remained open until and 3
am.
For Closer Touch With Politics.
One of the objects of the President in
ending his vacation week earlier than
usual it is said, is that he is DESTROYS of
keeping in closer touch with the political
situation than Is possible here.
John E. Wilkie, chief of the secret serv-
ice. came down from New York yesterday
and held conference with the members
of the Presidents guard. The purpose
was to assign them to the work which
they will take up after their departure

Attended Church Yesterday.
The President, Mrs. Roosevelt and

the Presbyterian Church here yesterday

John Fox, D. D., one of the correspond

attend the Presbyterian Church at least
once each year during his vacation as
compliment to the pastor, D.. Russell

attitude which it has adopted in con-
Quoting it's correspondence with Ven

whatever hopes it has Of a peaceful solu-
ton of the troubles. and, since this gov
eminent fixes a definite period in which
the decree must be revoked, it appears

fore November.
Concessions by Holland.
The minister of foreign affairs Jonkhern
Van Swinderin. in the correspondence,
admits that some of Venezuelas griev-
ances are we'll founded and comedies that
it was impossible for NJ. De Reus to re-
main Hollands representative in Caracas
after the contents of his letter to the
Houlen Trouw. an Amsterdam society,
had been published. although 1t was not
intended for publication. The foreign
minister, however. takes exception to the
dismissal of NJ. De Reus. stating that
the Dutch government would undoubtedly
have recalled him If it had been request
ed so to do. He also expresses regret at
the anti-Venezuelan demonstrations in
Curacao.
The foreign office continues to deny that
Holland has asked other powers to CO.
operate with her against Venezuela, al
though 1t admits that conferences have
been had with several of the governments
which have grievances against Castro re-
garding their intentions.
Parliament will meet September Is, and
the Venezuelan question probably will be
one of the first subjects brought up when
the government will be asked to outline
it's program.
