New York, Jan. 15.-Enforcement Of
nationwide prohibition which becomes
the law of the land tomorrow, will not
begin until 1901 a. m. on January II
it was announced here today at the Of.
flee of Colonel Daniel L. Porter Of the
United States International Revenue
service.
"After that hour" it was said,
mot a barrel Of Intoxicating liquor,
case Of wine or a keg of beer can be
legally manufactured, sold or trans
ported for beverage purposes anywhere
in the United States, its territories or
insular Possessions"
There will be no searching of homes
or confiscation of intoxicants, the Fed
eral authorities declare, the law pro-
viding for seizure only in even that
liquors are sold or in case q "home"
is clearly shown to be public resort.
Possession of private still by means
of which whiskey may be made how
ever, is held to be unlawful. A GER
tain amount Of ttbootlegging is ex
pected to be carried on for some time,
local officials say, but every effort Of
the government will be exerted to dis
courage violations.
While it has been announced that
the "drys" are to raise fund of $780,
10000 to continue their fight, prohi-
bition leaders here say most Of the
moaey will be used in educating" the
public ~ to the Injurious effects Of a.
eohol. They intimate thst they will
take no radical steps but that "toler.
alton and patience will be exercised to
ward any man who is honest ON The
question and who believes that intox-
icating drink is necessary to his we'll
being"
Cider mills and grape juice plants,
meanwhile, have been working over
time Of late in New York state it was
said, and the price of apples and grape
fruit has been affected by an increased
demand. Fermented sacramental wine
for exclusively religious purposes will
be manufactured and sold as usual but
with new Federal restrictions. Sale Of
hard cider and grape juice with
kick in them, Of course, are now
taboo.

has not proved true, at least in New
York. Most saloons, the owners Of
which have decided to remain in bust.
ness, have been transformed into res
taurants or candy stores.
Distilleries elsewhere, it is said, are
being utilized for making denatured
alcohol for fuel, for use in the mechsn-
ical arts and for other legal purposes.
Some are now creameries and cheese
factories.
Breweries in many cases, according

ating plants, Many employees Of dis

An army Of bartenders, It is said, has
obtained jobs at soda fountains and
