SALOON MEN FIGHT
DRY SUNDAY EDICT
Refuse to Obey Brewers
Orders to Close All Their
Side Doors To-day.

Perhaps It is not going to be such
dry Sunday to-day in New York
as the brewers would like. There has
hccn AN insurrection among the saloon
owners, and, despite even the activity
Of the heads Of the retail liquor deal
crs' associations, if you are known to
the guard of the side door you will be
served.
A rumor that gained considerable
credcnce among the retailers was that
the Police Department, through Dep
uty Commissioner Frank Lord, was be-
hind the brewers edict published yes
terday in The Tribune. The story ran
that Lord and representatives Of sew
eral breweries had had conference a
week ago, and that it was decided to
have q more rigid enforcement Of the
excise law.
Last night the Deputy Commission
er said over the telephone;
while l believe the story your pa
per published this morning is the IN
side story, particularly that part re-
garding the fear Of brewers OF the
Billy Sunday campaign, know moth
ing officially of any action of the brew
ers tending TO a more rigid enforce
ment of the Sunday closing law"
II was learned, however, that Dep.
utv Commissioner Lord did know Of
unofficial conferences between the
brewery interests and high officials Of
the poiice force. These officials were
consulted, not as police officers, au-
thorized 10 speak for the department,
but as men, knowing the attitude Of the
city administration, who could reflect
that attitude In their opinion as 70
the best manner TO Offset the Billy
Sunday and the Anti-Saloon League,
fast growing influence for prohibition.
The revolt of the saloonkeepers IS
due to the Interpretation placed on
the excise law by policemen and excise
inspectors in making complaints
against Sunday closing violators.
1t was pointed out yesterday that
20 do business from a bar in the back
room Sunday would make them liable
to a charge of selling liquor without
a license. The licensed premises men
toned in the liquor tax certificate, &C
cording TO Interpretation, means the
room in which the bar is located.
In the majority of saloons the bar
room is separated by partition. In
this partition there is door or doors
lending to the barroom. These doors
are kept locked on Sunday.
The contention of the saloon owner
is that. on account of this partition,
the Excise Department states that the
back room is a separate premises and
is unlicensed To put q bar in the
hack room. therefore, would mean, &C
cording to the Interpretation, that the
retailer was in the same class as the
owner Of a "speak-easy.'
Asked If they intended to obey the
orders of the brewers, dozen prom,
iDent retailers said yesterday they ala
not.
"The brewers cannot expect US 10
carry out orders that we know noth-
ing about" said one. "lf they're on
the level. let them tell US what IS pc
hind this move, and we'll cooperate
with them. Otherwise, we Will con
duct our business as we see ht' WIN
out any unsought advice from the
Wholesale interests"

RUSH At DRUG STORES
The Best Ice Cream and Soda Day
This Season.

The excessive humidity Sunday, to-
sether with temperature above 80
degrees, caused a rush on the soda
fountains and a heavy demand for ice
cream. The soda ''squirts'' had busy
day of it, and so great was the de-
mand for sherbets and ice cream that
several drug stores had to replenish
their supply in the course of the day.
For awhile it looked as though the
demand would exceed the supply.
The cool weather OF the last six
weeks has not been conducive to big
business at the soda fountains The

lighted when the mercury began to
