prosecutor in New Jersey is preparing
to enforce the new law against vfolatos
when such cases are brought for trial
before a Judge OF the Court of Common
Pleas in a summary manner without
Indictment.
With the police inactive yesterday
saloons on the Jersey side did a thriving
business, although in most cases therc
vas no selling to strangers Unless this
condition undergoes change there VIII
be an exodus from Manhattan to-day TO
The wet spots known by thirsty New
Workers.
No Specific Orders.
Director of Public Safety John Bent
icy of Jersey City said last night no
lad not issued specific orders TO the
police to see that all saloons obeyed the
Van Ness law, but he did notify them
to see that all laws were obeyed.
The new measure does not allow
.rial by Jury, and owing to this fact
Dir. Bentley said he had not the slightest
doubt there would be a test case made
of the constitutionality OF the act he
added he did not intend to make any OF
MS policemen cry enforcement agents
n present, but would see they acted
along the same lines as they have been
doing and arrest violators they catch
selling liquor.
At Police Headquarters here It was

rours ending AT midnight Friday sixty

bile and one still.

titled the alcohol in question was medi-
Gated and unfit for beverage purposes
and if drunk might result in serious
injury or death.
"Irhis man should never have had to
spend any time in JAIL" commented Mag
Is trate Simpson. IL think some philan-
tkropist should establish private fund
for the purpose of furnishing bail to
the worthy poor. such as in this case,
where the alleged yiolator was innocent
or the charge of possession of liquor
in violation of the Mullan-Gage laws
