until efforts were made to get into the
saloons which had openly done business
in spite of the excise law.
The saloons closed their doors at mid =
night. The new police chief told the DO

hold each responsible for the conditions
in his respective precinct. and made IL
plain that he meant business. The result
was that every saloonkeeper was notified
OH Saturday night that the excise law
was to be no longer winked at.
There was less drinking yesterday in
Jersey City saloons than there has been

undoubtedly consequence OF the charge

attention to violations OF the Bishop law

From The Tribune Bureau

Washington, Nov. 9.-Deeply Interested
in the revelation that Henry NJ Pindel'
of Peoria, ILL.,. had been offered one
year term as ambassador to Russia. ana

rotary of state, that there would De no

year, the administration seeing 10 IL that
there will be no treaties to negotiate ana
no political affairs to bother with' the
Russian government has already SHOWN
deep interest in the matter. and is max
ing inquiries as TO the administrations
intentions.
The appointment of Mr.. Pindell for
year only would be distasteful to Russia
The government at St Petersburg would
far rather have there diplomat whose
appointment has some air OF permanently
in order that the relations between the
two countries could be carried on In an
efficient manner.
IL is firmly believed here that Mr.. Pin
dell's name will never he sent to the SEN
ate by the President, or II 1t Is, that the
President will make II entirely clear that
Mr. Pindell will serve out a full term as
ambassador.
Colleagues OF the Russian Ambassador
have jokingly suggested that under the
circumstance he might just as well take
leave for a year, In view OF the alleged
intention Of this government not to have
any important dealings with Russia Tor
that period.
Ambassador Bakhmeteff. however. Is
much interested in the matter. Since the
cancellation last year of the commercial
treaty between the United States ana
Russia on account Of the Jewish passports
question. there has been no treaty, but
it has been generally understood that
new one would sooner or later be negou-
ated.
From what members OF the Senate say
an investigation is certain II Mr. Pindelrs
name comes up TO the Capitol from tho
White House. There will also be inquiries
as 10 whether other diplomatic missions
have been parcelled out with similar con-
ditions.

But in 1910 he found only one! What had

men and the other for the women, were
