WASHINGTON, Oct. sl.-Demon
Rum died a hard death in Washington
tonight. But, 10 the surprise Of
many drinkers and would-be drinkers,
the farewell souse was terribly hard
to obtain. For of the $50 places IL
censed 10 dispense alcoholic bever-
ages to the thirsty only thirty-eight
had their doors open late this after
noon, and during the early part OF
the evening one after another o. these
locked their doors and put up the
shutters.
Last-minute profits seemed less de-
sirable TO most OF the proprietors of
bars than an absolute cleaning out Of
their stocks. This wac particularly
applicable 70 the hotels, as after mid
night no hotel in Washington ever
again. unless a miracle sh ould hap
pen and Congress should repeal the
dry law, will be able to serve a drink
to n guest.
Shoreham Bar Already Closed
As a matter Of fact, the bar Of the
Shoreham, one of Washington's fore
most hostleries. mas been closed for
about two weeks. When the hotels
stock OF liquor was completely cleaned
out on Monday It was not replenished
and drinks could not be obtained in the
dining room. Last night the Ebbit
Hotel bar was closed. though drinks
were obtained until fairly late hour
tonight in the dining room. The Will
lard bar closed early to-day, and its
stock Of drinks did not suffice the res
taurant for the entire evening.
Famous old Shoemaker, renowned
not only for its very good liquor, but
for the cobwebs which had adorned his
mirrors and chandeliers since the days
when Congressman sat round its stove
and wondered il the North was serious
in its proposal to force abolition, was
open for brief time tonight. To
conserve its liquor so as TO be able to
keep open or the last night, however, It
was necessary to close the bar all AT
ternoon. The management had a sport

Mr.. Sheppard gave OUT an Interview
to-day pointing out how prohibition
would benefit the city. He has Just
one care. That is worry over the
point that the language Of the law
will permit private individuals to
bring in all the liquor they want for
their own consumption and to give to
their friends.
There is talk of legal contest on
this point. the object of which would

Denmark.

Dispatches from Copenhagen indi-
cite that Denmark is nearing "a crisis
with reference to her food and fuel
and gas supply, because of the block
ade established by both the central and
the entente powers. The small quaint
ties OF coal and petrol existing when
the blockade was declared are decreas-
ing dangerously day by day. Several
Industries have stopped operating. In
private Houses gas for cooking is al
lowed only during Il couple of hours a
day and private bathrooms have been
ordered closed. Only one electric lamp
In allowed In each house. Public kitch-
ems have been established In all quar-
tiers of the city. Practically Copenha-
gen will be In d worse condition tina
any OF the big cities In the warning
countries, The quantity Of food on
hand will last only a comparatively
short time. What adds 20 the public

In sight even in the distant future. In
leading circles faint hope Of peace still
prevails, but IL hat fails to material
lie utter disaster may oon he looked
for. 1t Is the people Of the cities that
suffer most of all from the blockade.
Bassatt Digby, the newspaper CORE
%spondent, recently wrote from Den
mark In regard to conditions there
and tells how sad is now the plight OF
the Danish fishermen. They work their
gasoline motOrboats, he says. La 1913
they sent $1,000 tons Of fish to Ger
many. In 1916 they SEN about twice
as much. In 1915 they sent 100000
tons. Now the allies have stringently
| cut down gasoline imports from Amer
lea. During the last W. years boom
sundry spectators in Copenhagen
thought the supply Of fish to Germany
would never be interfered with. They
formed syndicates and bought up the
fishermen's boats. for big sums ANY
Danish fisherman last fall could sell
| his boat for TIVE or three times Its pre-
war value. Now. with the shutting OF
of gasoline, the boom has collapsed.
| The fishermen are buying back their
boats cheaply. SO eager are the syndi-
Gates to retrieve a little from the
