A secret temperance society has been
organized among the members of the Ho-

been the gain in mem mbership that Cater OF
Landmann. who secured the lease for
three years of the refreshment depart

threatens to leave by the 1st of February.
The organization of the temperance So
ciety, he says, Is In direct violation of the
terms of the contract with the club. In
this contract 1t was expressly stipulated
that every member, when he visited the
club, should indulge in budheiser in
the sum Of at least 25 cents. During De
Gem Der the members faithfully observed
the terms OF the lease. but since New
Years change has taken place. He
saws at first the members absented them
selves, aud when they did appear, the
order was "ein beer" and nothing more,
He became suspicious and began an in
vestigation. Last night he observed the
members quietly slipping into one Of the
rehearsal rooms. He watched closely
and when he was able to get near enough
to the door without being observe d, he
peeked in and was surprised to
see Leonard Pfeiffer administering a
pledge Of temperance to Louis Coll.
There were present large number of the
Wealthiest and most prominent members
sang temperance hymn, the refrain O /
which was:-
No more lager; no more beer;
This we sing with right good cheer
For we've sworn off for the day,
Ta-ra-ra-ras boom-de-ay.
At the close of the meeting the mem
bers made their exit through back win
dow. Caterer Landmann ennmerates a
number of other complaints aga1nst the
club. saying they have violated the con-
tract ia several ways.
The members emphatically deny Mr..
Landmarks statement. They say no se-'
cret temperance society has been organ
lied, and that the members have not
lessened their capacity In any manner.
s'The whole trouble lies here" said Mr..
Ferd. Eichner. Treasurer of the club, in
speaking of the matter. sMr. Landmann
is anxious to wriggle Que of his contract
with the club, and for this reason, he
thinks he can secure the Arion Quartette
Club building In New York. He talks
has broken its part of the lease
by falling to complete the building
on or before December l. This is all rot,
Mr.. Landmann has done good business

nlaint. We are perfectly willing he
should go. We hold his father lin laws
bond for $1,000, and this will cover any
loss we may sustain by Landmarks
actions. ehas not paid the December
or January rents As YET, but we will
Immediately take steps to secure it"
The subject has caused considerable
talk among the members, and q special
meeting will be held to consider the
matter.
