Essen ORDERED
TO CLOSEHALL
SUNDAY NIGHTS
Prince Street Saloon-keeper Al
leges Police Discriminate
Against Him.

There will be no more Sunday night
weddings at the dance hall of Her
man Eisen, 43 Prince street. There
was one there last Sunday night, and
all kinds of trouble came out of it.
Mr.. Eisen has as yet made no
formal announcement that he will cut
out the Sunday festivities, but Chief
Of Police Michael T. Long has told
him there will be no more weddings,
and Mr. Eisen seemed to assent by
the diplomatic reply, "All right; I'll
put out a sign saying the place is
closed on Sunday"
These tentative arrangements were
made before the Board of Police Com
missioners at their meeting yesterday,
| after Mr., Eisen, all wrought up had
said he was being Disseminated
against by the police and could get no
protection, particularly from Captain
Oscar Vogel, of the Fourth precinct,
and Special Officer Benjamin Cohen.
Next door to Eisen's place in Prince
street is that of Isidor Kaplan.
Neither man has ever accused the
other of being a good neighbor, but
N-AN1 AAtlNC Stila oAiiII lulIiES
about each other
Last Tuesday both were in the
Fourth Precinct Court, Kaplan on the
charge Of blackjaclSing Eisen, and
Eisen on the charge of disorderly
conduct. Their quarrel was a sequel
to the wedding at Eisen's place Sun
day night
Kaplan was held to await the action
of the grand jury on the charge of
carrying a dangerous weapon, and
Eisen was fined $40 for the disorder
which accompanied his remarks be-
fore Kaplan brought out the black
jack.
Just as the incident seemed closed
Judge Herr noticed that Kaplan had
a black eye and asked him where he
got it. Kaplan said 1t was a present
from Mr.. Eisen. More details came
out and Eisen was also held to await
the action OF the grand jury on the
charge of assault and battery.
With these conditions disturbing his
mind Mr. Eisen complained to the
Board of Police Commissioners yes
terday, and In the course of his re-
marks took occasion to say that Chief
Long, who was present, was dis
pleased at the thought that Eisen had
a license to sell liquor.
The chief agreed that he was quite
displeased by the fact, and added,
You harbor people who are not what
they should be. but you won't do so
on Sunday night any more"
Elsen then made his qualified agree
ment to close, and added, 81 can't
Keep open but crap shooters can"
After Eisen had left the room Chief
Long stated to the commissioners that
cradle trouble to the department and
that the charges against Captain
Vogel were ridiculous.
Captain Vogel is one OF the most
strenuous men in the department"
continued the chief when 1t comes
to keeping his precinct clean. He
never would countenance gambling of
any kind. You know as well as | do
that there might be 100 crap games
going on in cellars and other out-of-
the-way places in precinct and the
police not know of Them
None of the commissioners appeared
to place any stock in the accusations
against the captain.
Patrolman Eugene G. Buerle, of the
Sixth Precinct, was the only officer
on trial. He was accused of having
icPoi leu III bWtHly iHludltS idlt anu
admitted the charge. He stated his
watch had gone bad" on him. He
was fined one days pay.
Three letters compllmenting PATROL
man Michael Philburn for recently
rescuing a child from the canal were
received and his name was placed on
the meritorious list.
That Prince street Is not yet at
peace was disclosed this morning
when Isidor Kaplan got a letter from
William Greenfield suggesting
money settlement out of court, to
compensate Mr. Eisen for the dam
ages received in the encounter last
Tuesday.
In the same mail Mrs Kaplan re-
ceived a letter from Attorney Simon
l.. Fisch warning her to get ready
to answer a suit charging her with
slandering Mr.. Eisen.
Eisen has had four saloons within
the past ten years, one at Kinney
and Prince streets, one at Academy
and Norfolk streets, one at Wayerly
and Badger avenues and the present
one, which he opened less than two
years ago.
The police accuse him of permit
ting young girls to frequent the place
and this morning Police Captain
Vogel said that Eisen would be COM
PEELED to present whatever evidence
he may have that gambling is per-
mitted In the Fourth precinct.
