BEER FAMINE NEAR
IN DRY NEW YORK
Police Under Crisp Order
Make Fierce Drive on AM
Der Truck Line.
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, August PA beer
famine threatened dry New York to-
day as police. spurred by new and crisp
order from Police Commissioner En-
right, inaugurated a drive against truck
men bringing the amber fluid from New
Jersey and Pennsylvania.
The campaign started in the early
hours this morning, when waterfront
police began stopping and examining
every truck that crossed from the Jer-
sey shore. Nearly a score were taken to
precinct stations for further eXamina-
ton, although casual inspection showed
them to be loaded with legitimate COM
modities ranging all the way from ma
chinery to garden truck. So far as
could be learned no beer was captured
in the first hours of the drive.
The commissioners order, although ii
was not made public, was reported to
have been almost as drastic as the one
he issued recently, giving police in
spectors and captains sixty days to clean
up all blind pigs in the city under
pain Of having charges preferred against
them.
New York has been reasonably well
supplied with beer for several months.
Recently federal agents began a cam
,paign in New Jersey to capture the
trucks that were bringing beer to New
York. More than a dozen were taken,
but apparently many others got by, as
the beer supply continued to hold up
here.
