SUNDAY SELLING
AND WHAT TOOK
PLACE YESTERDAY
There Was Moaning" Remote
from the Bar in Certain Gen.
traI Establishments.
SITTING PATRONS ONLY
GIVEN CONSIDERATION
A Number of Cafe and Restau-
rant Proprietors Received Or
ders from Mayor Last Week.

There was no moaning OF the bar
or groaning at the bar IN at least
several of the most conspicuous liquid
refreshment places, centrally located,
IN this city yesterday. And these
conspicuous places are of good repute,
according to police and public estima
ton.
They provide food and drink for the
weary automobilists, and others who
seek their goods, be they wet goods
OF. dry" goods. and have heretofore
been looked upon as establishments
that adhered closely to the present
day maxim, Liberty with decency.
But yesterday they were obliged to
stand fast" as the soilors put it,
and therefore there could be groen-
ing or moaing at the bar. The
moaning and grooming" were IN
dulged In by patrons because they
could not get to the bar. There was
nothing on the bar to make 1t groan
or moan.
The "Avauntl" "go way back and
sit down." signs, figuratively speak
ing, confronted all applicants for
drinks in the places mentioned ABOVE,
and perhaps other places.
And from the best available IN
formation the proprietors or managers
Of these cafes and restaurants were
acting under the orders, adminitions
or instructions, apply any term that
will suit, of Mayor Thomas l.. Kay
mond himself. ~,
So 1t wasn't such a "canard aIlef
sll that appeared in print on trlday
and Saturday of last week. A SUNDAY
contemporary vouchsafes the ilior
nation, while referring to published
stories as "canards," that, however:
"Peoule conversant with the situation,
that particular complaint has recently
been made OF the openness with which
lsamo saloonkeepers in the residential
and OUTLYING sections of the city con-
duct business on Sunday
"Jt is declared that workingmen,
heads OF families, and others, some OF
them accompanied by small children,
are encouraged to spend their time
and money in some of these places on
SUNDAYS, and that the business has
recently been conducted in a manner
characterized as wide open"
This, 1t is declared goes on tne
SUNDAY contemporary, "must stop or
nnIeasar,t sequences to the guilty
ones will result, as 1t Is regarded as
r11warranted infringement upon the
| liberty with decency' manner in
which Sunday saloon business in
| Newark has gone on without serious
interference for the last few years
Whether or not this "canard' is
| s.problematicar' is another story, but
the Sunday contemporary, presuma-
bly, being 'in the know" says it comes
from persons "conversant with the
situation"
| AT all events, the Sunday contem-
porary states that the one certain
thing is that at 12 o'clock on Saturday
night there was a prompt closing or
saloons in all parts ofthe city, those
who sometimes take a chance" after
the prohibited hour not SEEMING in
clined to do so.

other occasions during the week John
