ow York, Meth 25.-A most sensa-
tional series of raids upon alleged vio-
lators of the exci4e haw was made early
to -day umfer the personal direction of
President Whitman, of the Board of City
Magistrates. To accomplish his purpose
le the inagistrate forcibly aeized the West
•""` 47111 street station, in the :Tenderloin,
temporarily deposed the sergeant in
'command, directed the arrest of several
alleged violators of the excise law, and
then held an impromptu session of
court in the police station, Two men
who Were found in charge of saloons
where it is alleged liquor was being
served after hours, were held in $2,500
for further hearing, and the magietrate
declared that he would appear person-
ally to press the charges against them
when they are Arraigned,
In the cours4 of the police come ses-
sion Magistrate Whitman declared that
the two men who were arrested told 111131
that they were permitted to keep their
places open after hours becauee "the
ratertain is fixed." Capt. Daly, who com-
mends the 'West 47th street station, was
at his home when Magistrate Whitman
made his descent upon the station house,
The captain was notified of the action,
and called the magistrate on the tele-
phone.
"You fell Captain Daly that I won't
talk with him, said Magistrate Whit -
"Tell hurl I don't want to have
senanything to do with Mine' After he had
er completed his night's work Magistrate
Whitman issued a etatement, in which
he says:
