Blue-coated and civilian clad, the “‘ogres"—members of the city's police force and government enforcement agents —cast a damper upon the enthusiasm of the throngs who sought to usher out the old year and greet the new in tne man- ner of ante-prohibition days. From the Battery to the upper houn<| daries of Manhattan, forces of police and Tevenue officers sought to make New York's second “dry” New Year's—though its first under the 13th amendment—an even “dried” one than that a year ago. Officers mingled with the milling crowds that jammed sidewalks in the theatrical and hotel districts and agents sat at ta- bles in the crowded cafes and restau- rants. Broadway, through its White Light sec- tion, was crowded at an earlier hour to- night than in previous years and thers was the customary jangling of cow bells and tooting of horns. There was little disorder, however, and, although officers arrested a few men on “bootlegging charges, the night court, for the first time in its history, adjourned before midnighf| without the arraignment of a prisoner on_charges arising out of the celebration. Lower Manhattan was lively _ with crowds, particularly in the vicinity of old Trinity church, Broadway and -Wali street where hundreds gathered to hear the chimes as they rang .out the old year and welcomed the new.
