crusade against violators OF the new
State liquor laws last night, and made
many arrests in The Bronx. Manhat-
tan, Brooklyn and Staten Island, all of

packages which contained small guam
titles of whiskey or wine. The num-
Der OF arrests made since the depart

seventy-five early this morning, and
police officials declared they had only
begun their work Of making New York

Most of the work Of gathering evil
dence and making arrests in the sa-
looms and restaurants throughout the
city was done by the special detail OF
o50 detectives assigned by Police COM
missioner Enright to the various in
spection districts. where they are
working under the direct supervision
of the inspectors. These detectives
appear to have had little difficulty in
lulling the suspicious Of the walters
and bartenders. and in buying drinks
in many saloons and restaurants. The
serving Of a drink was almost IN
variably followed by the arrest OF the
waiter or bartender and a search OF
the saloon or restaurant. The ma
iority Of the prisoners were arraigned
before a Magistrate and held in $500
or $1,000 bail for further examination.
