NEW YORK TOLL OF NEW YEARDRINK Newspaper ‘Says Wildest Revelry Marked Fes- tivities. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, January 2.—Four more victims of bootleg liquor, re- ceived at Bellevue Hospital today, swelled the toll of the New Year revel, which claimed three dead and sent a score to hospitals. Three of them were unconcious and one had a fractured skull from a fall. Police records also enumerated four violent deaths attributable to holiday over-indulgence, sixteen men and women in hospitals with gunshot or knife wounds. Twelve raids were made by prohi- bition officers, including a descent on Relsenweber’s, at. 58th street and Sth avenue, -and eimilar interfer- ence with the festivities at a half dozen Greenwich Village tea rooms. Opinions differed on whether the prohibitionists succeeded. Wild Revelation. The Evening Telegram described the night as a “celebration which rlvlll"ed the wildest pre-prohibition days.’ William H. Anderson, head of the State Anti-Saloon League, however, sald that “although wetter than the Sahara desert, New York was far dryer' than it has been on other holi. days.” Prohibition agents, he add :x:lulm;fld the line of least resistance d did not interfere w v “carried their own.
