Joseph Meyers, the proprietor of the
liquor store at 1853 Seventh avenue.
which Is known as the Devils Cave"
was before the Board of Excise Com
missioneIs to-day to defend COM
plant that his place is the resort Of
improper persons.
Detectives Kosh and Jerolomen and
Policeman Day. of Capt. Schmitt-
berger's STAFF in the Tenderloin dis
trict. were the complainants. Lawrence
Boyer, of l6O West Twenty-fifth street,
was a principal witness. for he had
statistics showing the amount of bust
ness that Meyers did In twenty-four
hours.
The evidence showed that the place
was frequented by black and white
women, who were in and about the
place at all hours of the day and night.
Mr.. Boyer, with his son. twenty-one
years old, watched the place from u
on Monday morning. when the law al
lows saloonkeepers to resume business.
In that time Mr.. Boyer swears. he
saw 403 white and black women go in
and out OF the store.
Mr. Meyers, in his own behalf, said
that women did come to his place, but
they had as much right there as any one
else, provided they had money to pay
for what they got.
The Board did not think so, and at
once revoked his license. They did not
get out of their chairs to reach this de-
clsion, and 1t was unanimous.
