Never before until yesterday have the
\ people Of Washington appreciated the
| sentiment expressed In that old college
song. mo Booze Today. No Booze Today.
You VIII Have to Wait Until Monday"
Heretofore, when boisterous stucents
have been celebrating after Q football
game and shortly after midnight have
started singing this old song. Washing
tonians who never have experienced
dry spell thought the ditty q senaeless
tumble Of words and shook their heads
disapprovingly. wondering II such airs
were part Of college classics.
Yesterday. however. when. following
custom OF years, they made their way to
their favorite Sunday retreat only TO
meet with the cold sign ''Closed" instead
Of the genial smile Of the proprietor. tie
significance Of the song dawned upon
them. Slowly they turned and wended
their way homeward, ready to admit that
college boys were not such fools after all.
Washington yesterday was as dry As the
Great Sahara Desert. So far as the gen.
eral public was concerned. there was alb
solutely nothing doing" at club. hotel.
or restaurant. However. there was q
little liquor dispensed. but the drinking
places were few and far between. and
were soon spotted by the police. These
dispensers who yesterday underestimated
the ability of the police to clamp the lid
down tight or were willing to take
chance will doubtlessly know better next
Sunday.
Alleged "Leaks" Found.
Four arrests were made yesterday on
the charge Of dispensing intoxicants. Sew
eral other alleged "leaks'' were spotted
by the police, but. owing to a lack OF evil
dence, no arrests were made. Samuel
Bailey, a blind man. and his son Isaac
Bailey, Of 226 c Street Northeast. were
arrested, charged with aiding and abet-
ting in the dispensing OF liquor. Bailey,
senior, was held by the police. but his
son was released on $500 collateral for his
appearance in court. A large tub OF Deer
and several cases Of the same beverage
were confiscated by the police. A wagon
load Of prisoners were taken TO the sta-
tion house as witnesses, but were later
released on their personal recognizances.
Precinct Detective Kleindinst arrested
Charles Coleman, colored, forty-eieht
years old. on a charge OF oispehsihs
liauor. At the Fourth Precinct stauon
House he was charged with operating an
