STATEN ISLAND DRY"
EVERY COMING SUNDAY,
IS PLEDGE OF LEAGUE
Enforcement Body, Working
With Bonding Companies,
Has Fifty Cases Pending.

All staten Island was as dry and
law abiding last sunday as the prim-
NEST county in Kansas. Not a saloon
was open. no one could buy a drink
anywhere, and there was not one
drunken man in sight. All OF which
was due to the crusade begun last
winter by the Law Enforcement
League Of Staten Island. which prom
ises to keep Its myriad eyes open for
any future violations Of the law. and
Is backed up by the Excise Depart
ment OF the state and all the secur-
| ity companies that furnish bonds for
saloons in the metropolitan district.
The League has pending In the
! Supreme Court in Brooklyn fifty
cases against saloonkeepers who per-
sisted in breaking the law in spite
OF ample warning. Evidence In these
cases was obtained by the inspectors
OF the State Excise Department. OF
, the nifty cases thirty-six ara actions
to forfeit bonds OF from $500 10 $500,
and In most OF these the defendants
have already forfeited rather than
20 to trial. The other fourteen cases
are actions to revoke licenses. Agents
OF the League and Excise Inspectors
are watching every place complained
of every Sunday and promise to do
so all summer.
John r. Fisher, a New York busi-
ness man, is President of the League;
! w. u. Sharrot, "A real estate operator,
Vice Prc-!ient: the Rev. w. r. Comp
ton, chaplain OF Sailors Snug Har-
Dor, Secretary, and George w. Cole
a business man, Treasurer. Among
the directors are Alonzo B. Pouch
who owns the big docks and ware
houses at st. George; C. d. Durkee
manufacturer OF marine hardware; +
u. Danzilo, Superintendent for tho
Metropolitan Life Insurance Com
pany, and Walter w. Price. Repub.
liean leader Of Staten Island.
1--WE have cleaned up an intolerabl,
situation. thanks to the aid Of the stat,
Excise Department and the unitet
bonding companies represented by Al
bert l.. Sheridan OF No. 1851 Broad
way" said DIR. Robert G.. Davey, coun
sci for the league, at It's office, No. 90
Broadway. I'VE have more than 50
saloons on Staten Island, among n pop
ulation Of 100000. From $4,000 4
10000 visitors came TO our island ever,
Sunday from New York and New Jer
sey, many of them in gangs. Condi
tions In and near many OF the saloon
were unbearable.
"One thousand citizens formed thi
league. joining in a covenant to 'purg
our community from every institution
and source OF lawlessness. disorde
and vice We sent letters to ever
salOonkceper, owner OF property an
bonding company last November tell
ing them OF the nuisances existing
, The offenders were decent for FEY
weeks and then relapsed. Then W
obtained the evidence to dispose O
fifty OF the law breakers. IL ther
are any others we shall get then
too"

Chinese nKnife Coins.n

Can you imagine a woman going into
a local department store, asking for a
camisole or a chemise or any one of
those hundred or more delicate things
that women wear, laying a dollar bill
on the counter, and receiving three
safety razor blades as change?
You can't. And yet, if the United
States treasury department would take
a tip from the Chinese that's about
how small change would stock up for
womankind and others, in America.
For practical purposes the Chinese
"knife coins on exhibition at the
Old National Museum at Washington
can't be beaten. With a perfectly
formed razor, a colored man with cary
ing tendencies would only need a few
cents II "knife" change to be in a
paradise of his own making.
Luckily, museum officials say, the
"razor coins" are many thousands OF
years old, and there isn't any fear ex'
pressed that the ancient style will be
adopted by the government.
