'1 ARRESTS ARE FEW IN CITY OF HANGOVERS But lots of Uoozo Thnt Could Not Bo Put in gtenmshlps Ih Seized. 10,000 BAIIKKBPS .TOULKSS Many Snloon Keepers, r, \Will Hang On \to Sco \What Happens.' ' Ten thousand barkceps guvo tho old bar rags a final wring yesterday morn- ing, automatically swabbed the mnhog-an- y counters over which oceans of booze and worlds of philosophy had passed, and fared forth Into tho enow of New York city's streets to seek new means whcreb to purchaso sufficient food to tide them over unm next election, when they pro-pos- o to vote against everything. ; Charles 1, Husky, president of the 'Jtetall Liquor Dealers Association, said last night that 10.000 was the minimum number of Qanymcdoi rendered Jobless on tin first day of constitutional prohi- bition. And virtually everybody who Is or has been connected with the Hiuoi business had a statement to make. The dispensers, quoted by Mr. Husscy, say they are going to keen going along until February 1 anyway, selling soft stun and the fluid that Is alleged to contain nothing more compelling than one-ha- lf of r per cent, of alcohol and which eno mles of the human raco call beer. After February 1. when all New York State licenses expire, Jake's place and the old Corner and tho Dead Itat und the Hobnail Liver In fnct nil tho old con genial holes whero onco folk gathered to tell tho world whnt was wrong with It and to proffer gratuitously expert' ser- vices In adjusting everything will closo their doors.' But those who predicted that the first of tho constitutional prohibition days was destined to go down, Into history as ono of great police activity were false prophets. Maybe It was because New York still was nursing. Its farewell Hang over and couldn t Ret out of bed or maybe It was that Che Federal author! ties decided that Inasmuch as It was the week end It would be Just ts well to stave off the monnlng up of the bltter- - r nders until Monday, but the fact Is that there were fewer than a dozen arrests for selling or otherwise handling tho old stuff. First Arrest In Brooklyn. Michael Mlnden, proprietor of the once djzzllng place at Howard avenue and Monroe street. Brooklyn, and his harkeen. John H. Larkln, claim the honors of bolne the first arrested. In ternal Revenue Inspector Moses Rosen- thal grabbed Mlnden, and charges that Mlnden sold him a slug of brandy five minutes after midnight United States Commissioner McGoldrlck held them for examination January 22. But It was said In the. Custom House yesterday that James Shevlln, chief Itevenue Aftent of the alien and delinquent division of the Internal Reve nue Department, was about to oe rnaae supervising prohlbtlon agent for the New Y'ork district, which means thai It will be his Job to see that neither New York city, Long Island, Connecticut noi Thode Island drink liquor. He will have a staff of 150 men to help him. Internal revenue agents agree that the Job of enforcing the Volstead law will not be a hard one. Their chief concern nfter a few months of prohlbtlon they say will be to prevent folk from making booze In stills cunningly contrived at home. Their optlmsm Is based on their figures that there are far fewer than 500,000 gallons of booze left In the coun- try. By the Rame token they claim that the last two months have been the hardest drinking periods In recent years because it was the general desire to drlng up evcryihlng In eight before the Government confiscated. William H. Hirst, counsel for the New York State Brewers Association,- - Issued a statement In wihlch he said: \Federal legislation previous to the Volstead bill enables the State without assistance or interference of further and NO C O. D'S. Federal legislation to prohibit or regu- late the traiTIo In liquors In any manner and In nny degree which the people of New York desire. \It seems Impcrntlvo that tho Legis- lature of New York should exercise Its right to enact enforcement legislation which reasonably carries out the Intent of tho amendment and does not prohibit beverages clearly without Its scopo and beyond Its reach.\ Hut despite all this publicans are giv ing up the ghost nnd closing their sa- loon doors. Down In Park Row one famous gin mill displayed a padlock for the first tlmo In fifty yenre, and the padlock wus on the outside of the door, On a placard tucked Into the doer frame was tho following lament: \Closed for the first time In fifty years. Joe bids you good-b- Loulo says 'so 'one.' Ilavo applied for Cuban citizen ship.\ Ilnozo Ship Still Away. And a large gathering of citizens saw tho freighter Yarmouth off from Pier 22, Hast River, yesterday. The Yarmouth left for Havana, and she was listing heavily to starboard, for within her bulging sides were stowed $2,000,000 wortn 200,000 cases of whiskey, cham pagne nnd gin that Is of no further use to New Y'ork. A delegation of pollcenvn from tho Oak street station guarded the sturc wnllR It was being loaded and a re liable cop was left on the pier after the Yarmouth sailed. It Is his Job to guard the 3,000 cases of Old Continental nnd On-e- River whiskey that the freighter mum i room for. Later revenue ngents took the cases to a Government warehoure. Tho only reason tho Yarmouth was permitted to leave yesterday was because It had been loaded before midnight Friday and should have got away In time. When she didn't tho agents seized her and her cargo, but later released her. In Kearny, N. J., the police stropped two \trucks on which fifty barrels of wine had been loaded. The wine, valued at J 10,000, was consigned to A. Btasle of Newark by the Federspeel Wine Company of New York. Tho drivers of tho trucks, Frank Thumo and William Leon, wero arrested. Ono hundred and fifty cases of good ed eyo were seized In tho early hourB of yesterday morning by Inspectors who chanced to be In tho neighborhood of Liberty nnd West streets. The stuff, valued at $47,000, was being tucked Into a nearby cellar. Tho agents took tho stuff to the Custom House, where was plied upon the pavement and stayed an morning. Later it was sent to warehouse. Over In New Jersey the forlorn wets are hoping for the best and praying that a Dili about to bo Introduced into the Legislature by Senator Simpson of Ka sex will- have some effect. Tho bill would legalize tho sale of beverages containing as much as 4 per cent of al sohol. If any of you folks feel tho need of one brine tank or a set of brine pumps or n ten ton ice macnlne or a ten ton double pipe condenser communicate with Transit Construction Commissioner De laney, who has this assortment of pre- - pronibiiion requisites for sale, having acquired them from a restaurant man who held forth In a building owned by the city and who now abandons the whole work because folks can't drink booze any more. All booze that reached piers too late to be taken aboard outgoing steamships bTore mldnlsht Friday wns seized ny the Government. It Is not known how much the revenue agents corralled by this process, but It means hun dred thousand gallons. There were many efforts to get the stuff out of the country at the last moment But much was left behind. In most of these cases the owners either notified the Government agents that the booze' would be at a certain pier for surrender at such and such a time or. when It be came apparent that It was useless to try to get the stuff aboard, they did not try. Federal Prohibition Commissioner Kramer says that at least a million gallons of booze will be found In various warehouses before the general search through New Y'ork ends. PROHIBITION EASTERN BAR City's Oldest Inn to Continue to Take in Prohibition has dealt the Eastern Hotel, the oldest hostcrly in the city, at Whitehall and South streets, bo heavy a blow that both bar and restaurant are and f to be closed at tho end of the month, A United Cigar store, probably will oc- cupy the spot now ornamented by the big mahogany bar.
