- INBROADWAY Girt Two Doors Broken Down by Dry Agents From Capi- tal, Who Get Little. Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, August 19,—shan|ey'|' restaurant. on Broadway, extending through from 43d to 44th streets, was raided at 5 o'clock this afternoon by a squad of ten general prohibition agefts from Washington, under E. B. Henson, a Kentuckian, twenty years in the revenue service. Henson is the newly appointed as- sistant to Chief General Agent John D. Appleby. and among his raiders were many facés new to Broadway. Some of the agents were sent here on special detail by General Chief E. C. Yellowly. stationed at Washington. They entered the place by the three entrances simultaneously, and search- ed diligently for an hour and a half, covering the entire establishment, from the engine room to the dance hall. Ten raiders came upon a blank par- tition near the engine room, where they could find no door. The engi- neer told them there was nothing be- Lind the partition but unused tables and chairs. What Goes Up, Comes Down. “Why hasn't it got a door?" asked & searcher. “We just nailed it up” said the engineer. “Well we'll just tear it down.” said the agent. With that several of the .agents took hold of the partition and tore it out. They left a section eight feet by ten feet lving where it fell. ‘They found nothing but old furni- ture. Other searchers came on a closet with a padlocked door. A key was not forthcoming and a six-foot crow- bar was brought into play. There was & crash as the wrecked door fell. In this closet no liquor was found. In all the entire establishment only two quarts of liquor sald to be Bicardi rum. one quart of alleged moonshine whisky. two pints and some supply flasks rewarded the search. “I would say that Shanley's is pretty dry.” said Assistant Chief Hen- & son as he gave a receipt for the small seizure. A summons was left for John J. Moran. the manager, and he was charged with possession of liquor in violation of the Volstead law. Ordered to Deprive Diners. Instructions were that the raiders were to take bottles from tables of diners without disturbing the diners in any way unless resistance was of- fered. No bottles were found on any tables. Only two agents were per- mitted by Assistant Chief Henson to enter the dining room at any one time and these were cautioned re- peatedly not to disturb the diners. Employes of the restaurant did not move from the stations during the raid on the engine room, and kitchen employees were instructed by - the managers to give the searchers keys where keys were demanded. There naturally was no key to the room without & door and the key to the closet which was broken open was said to have been mislaid. 220 MINERS FILE SUITS, CLAIMING BACK WAGES Consolidation Coal Company De- | fendant at Cumberland—Charge of Fraudulent Weighing.

MAGISTRATES MUST ACCOUNT FOR FUNBS New Law in Virginia Goes Into Ef- fect September 1—Saving to .‘ State Seen. Special Dispateh to The Star. RICHMOND, Va., August 19.—Under a new law effective in Virginia Sep- tember 1 every magistrate and every mayor or other person who tries per- sons for offenses against the state must give a certifled receipt for the | money when paid. If the judgment is docketed the convicted persons must have a receipt to show for it, else the | fine will stand until paid and property of such persogs can be sold to meet | the judgment. | The law requires that when persons refuse to accept such receipts the magistrate shall place the same be. | fore the clerk of the county, who will | file these and show that the receipt was refused. This means that much money that has been lost to the state by indifferent and careless magis- tratee will now come to the state treasury. In this connection it has been but a few days since a magistrate. was removed for having his accounts in such shape that they were not intel- ; ligible, and it was known that pet. | sons had been fined and no record | made of the part payments made by them. The state is belisved to have lost large sums of money for many years by reason of the failure to keep Tecords of all cases. AGED MASON IS ILL. Dr. Edwards Has Been in Order ! Seventy-Three Years.
