HEALY DINERS PUT OUT, BUT LESS FORCE USED, i AS WHITMAN WAS THERE District-Attorney Promises Aid in Getting Warrants Against Patrol- men; Women Spared and Less Violence Used. Marguerite Mooers Marshall. Being put out of Healy's restaurant yesterday morning was howling melodrama. Being put out of the 1 o'clock supper show this morning was howling farce. The unannounced change in the season’s most popu- lar dramatic performance was due to the appearance—also unannounced —of a new actor. He was a small, fresh-faced man, with a quizzically smiling mouth, a square jaw and a pair of steady blue eyes. The new star played a very small speaking part, but from the instant of his appearance on the stage Inspector Dwyer and his merry men were | in constant danger of forgetting their roles. Have 1 mentioned the name of the new actor? It happened to be Charles S, Whitman. * The meeting of the two “leading men” ‘wae a tensely dramatic moment.

Warrants will be secured early to-day for the arrest of the policemen involved in clearing out the restaurant. Prob- ably Magistrate Deuel will issue the warrants, as he yesterday announced did not wear their badges. This is a sert- . semi-circle, and we turned to look. Bur- ly, bustling Dwyer looked, too—straight faite the steel blue eyes of the little man, a head shorter than the six-foot inepec- ter, standing near one end of the semt- eirele and smoking a long brown cigar.

NOW BECOMES A FIGHT FOR PERSONAL LIBERTY. Developments in the situation created by the police when they rushed into a ant and ejected by bod- and women who were forced the altuation beyond the question whether Healy shall be allowed to keep open his taurant, as he says the law allows and the police contend that 1t does not. It has become @ fight by the public, far personal berty. —District-Attorney Whitman took command to-day and ta directing the fight. In his mall this morning were dosens of letters from Aanury citizens suggesting the formation of Personal Liberty Leagues and the s of mass meetings to this end. One correspondent offered to defray all the expenses of a mass meeting. Mr. Whitman, taking the most direct route to end the dlegraceful lawlessneas of the police, hurried to the Weat, Side Court this morning, With nine’ men who were ejected this morning from Healy's, he went before Magistrate Devel and warrants wei form out and issued for fourteen policemen, among them Inspector Dwyer, each charged with assault. When Mr. Whitman got back to the Criminal Courts Bullding he found the additional Grand Jury much excited ‘over accounts in the newspapers of the affair at Healy's this morning, at which the District-Attorney was a ent.

At the request of Mr, Whitman, however, this was postponed until Monday, when a rigid faquiry will be begun with the proe- hia willlmgness to do #0. It was declared this morning that Mr. Whitman himself would be present in the West Side Court when the cases also stated that in at Healy's he was, to put Jt mildly, not pleased with all he aw. inder his glittering eye, the { kid-gloved affair compared {With yesterday morning. Most of us tayed around and laughed until we Bot ready to depart. The police wore forty-five minutes in gocomplishing what they put through in five minutes the previous morning.

EE MEN SE OF HEALY DINERS Dect that it may end in ¢! inate! bid y @ in the finding of MAYOR'® sTATEMENT PUTS MATTER UP TO WHITMAN, Meantime, Mayor Gaynor whose or- in which, with his usual tone of reaig- Ration, he complained that District-At- torney Whitman was entirely to blame and that withvut his Support, of course, the police could do nothing, His chief complaint was that the District-Attorney had not notified him that he did not agree with the interpretation of the law under which the police were acting. Ap- Parently the Mayor wanted it believed that if Mr. Whitman had eo much as intimated this, the police would have been withdrawn immehately, He closed | with the complaint that now the whole | Matter would have to be aifted out by the courts, a slow and tedious Dropo- sition, forgetful, apparently, that the Court of Special Bessions and Magi trate Devel had already handed down opinions declaring the police were act- ing beyond their right, While Mr. Whitman ‘and Magistrate Deuel were in conference Assistant Di trict-Attorney Hoetsel was busy in the courtroom attending to the numer- ous complainants, who arrived angry and anxious to swear out warrants at once, Mr. Boetsel listened to the com- piaint of each man and then passed him along to the complaint clerk, be- fore whom the aMdavit necessary to the application for a warrant was sworn out Men who had been thrown bodily out of Healy's earlier in the morning kept Srriving at court, and kept Mr, Boetse! busy steadily at work. Most of the men had the same @omplaint to make— that force had been used to eject them and tthat, consequently, they had been subjected to assault and battery, The complaints might have been made out after a single form, with only the nu ber of the policeman involved eh: to sult Individual cases, In each case, how full affidavite were drawn up and sworn to, and in each case the erime charg assault. —— MAYOR ACCUSES WHITMAN OF ADVISING PEOPLE TO RESIST THE LAW. Mayor Gaynor in statement to-day nce offered the police at Healy’ in their attempt to enforce the law. He when word was sent to him vba Porter for The Evening World that Magistrate Deuel, after consultation with the District-Attorney, had issued warrants for the arrest of fourteen Dolicemen, including Inspector Dwyer, who participated in the scenes at Healy's this morning. The Mayor made no comment on this phase of the ac- tivities of Mr. Whitman. “rhe Mayors etatement is as follows: ‘ “The cause of the resistance of police regulations at Healy's is now fully dis- closed. The District-Attorney of New York County te advising and upholding it. He has never informed the Police beersoggaigd orthe Mayor that he dis- agrees with the interpretation of Liquor Tax la, which has always nos tofore been accepted and acted on throughout the State, and been upheld by the courts, If he had done so the police would have followed his view, for it would be useless ir the police to try to enforce any law unless the Dis trict-Attorney, who is the sale prose- cuting officer, would, uphold them and bow as Dereon im court. I am sorry the Attorney did not com- municate hie views to us instead of taking an open part by his presence against the police, HOW THE MAYO! UMMARIZES THE I68UEc. “The case is breifly this, namely: re subdivision G of Bection 20 of the Liquor ‘Tax,law requires, in so many. words, that all ‘room or roome whete any Mquore are sold’ shall be closed and locked at 1 o'clock at night, and remain @o until 6 o'clock next morning, and that no one shall go in or out during that time, It ts the same as the Eng- Mab statute under which they close at midnight in London. “Liquors are gold in this dining room at Healy's, as elsewhere. They are ordered, delivered and consumed there and pald for there. That ts certainly @ sale there. The provision of the statut whioh I have cited has therefore always been understood to apply thereto. Bu I understand that the District-attorney ie advising Healy to resist on the ground that the words ‘room or rooms' in the statute must be“whittied down from their plain :.eaniig to mean only ‘bar-room,’ althou; welf in other place# when ‘bar-room’ ts meant that precise word is used, where- ae the provision whichel have quoted above from the statute says every ‘zoom’ in which liquor is sold, and Bot ferely the ‘bar-room. If the District-Attorney is to eontinu to uphold Healy, and will not prosecut him, of course the police cam do noth- ing'to uphold the law as it reads, The question will have to go to the courts and as usual that means a Jong delay for @ final decision, SAYS HE THINKS ORGIES WILL BE RESTORED. “To mitigate the provision of the tatute which I have cited the Legis- lature passed act few years ago permittin, @ Mayor to grant all- night licen to such places, I grant- ed such licenses quite freely in that part of the city where Healy's place ia, But ae all the ofty knows, many of the places thus licensed were turned into places of all night orgies, drunk- enness and shamelessness, I revoked among them being Hea- ly's, The proprietors of all of the approved my co ‘The put an end to, It now th they will be restored. tute as to closing rela only to the bar-room, the law as to the Sale of liquor is no longer enforcable. We cannot station policemen at the tables to see if wines and liquors are served, If people on!y want to eat and not drink liquor there are plenty of places for them to go to without going to places where liquors are furnished.” —— NBWBURGER INCIDENT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH CASE, MANAGER SAYS., Mr, Healy and his manager, Patrick Kyne, denied that there was anything in @ suggestion, which originated no ong knew where but circulated quickly among every one nilereated in the police raids on Healy's, that the activity of the police was the result of # row in which Deputy Commissioner Newburger Geclared that Diptriot-Attorney Wait | was ested from Mealy'e some wegpe = man is “advising and upholding” tne| exo. Healy denied all knowledge of any real ‘euch affair and Kyne said: was engaged in dictating the statement in the statute it-| . ~|ON THE FIRING LINE WITH GAYNOR’S CURFEW COPS “Oh, there is nothing in that. The fmeldent that gave rise to this rumor didn't amount to anything at all.” What actually occured however, was! learned from an eye witness, It seems that Mr. Newburger and Frederick Whiting, Secretary of the Committee of Fourteen, visited Healy's one night about six weeks ago and slipped up a back stairway to the floor where danc- ing is permitted. It ts a strict rule of the house that no man is admitted to this floor unless accompaniea by his @ancing partner. Women also must have escorts, When Newburger and) Whiting were discovered, therefore, in the lobby just outside the dance room, a waiter notified Kyne, DEPUTY COMMISSIONER ASKED TO LEAVE. The manager 44 not recognize the visitors and politely told them that they were breaking the rules of the house and asked them to leave. They refused and Newburger said they had a right PRINCESS TO CHANGE FAITH.
