DID THEY LYNCH SCORE OF OLD - TIME PALACES DE JOY DOOMED Some Famous Saloons Go Out of Business When Detroit Goes Dry LEAVING FOR THE MINE ee 4c Detroit, Mich., April 22.—Nearly a score of noted Detroit bars are among the thousands of drinking places which will close their doors when the state goes “bone dry” on the first day of May. Some of these places were prosperous in Civil war days, when their “variety shows” were considered a keen attraction for visitors. Other saloons have been noted as haunts for politicians, journalists and artists; still others have been stained by countless crimes and here and there, in what now is the business district, are rather quiet places which, in gen- erations past echoed to the laughter of royalty and the clink of wagered gold. The bar room in the present Hotel Pontchartrain is built upon the site of the old Russell House, Detroit's most famous hostelry. In 1860, the Prince of Wales, reviewed a parade from this building and, according to newspaper accounts, he publicly was entertained in the cafe after the procession had passed.
