NEEDN'T SERVE LONE WOMEN.
Justice Greenbaum lphOlds the Right OF
Restaurant Man 10 DIsCrim tnatc.

A decision of considerable importance
to restaurant proprietors was handed down
Yesterday by Supreme Court Justice Green
baum, when he dismissed an action brought
by Rebecca Israel against 1gnatz II. Rosen-
field proprietor of the Cafe Boulevard,
Tenth street and Second avenue, to recover
$500 damages. The plaintiff. in her com
plant, charged that she entered Rosen-
fields restaurant on Aug 2s, 1900. for the
purpose of getting meal. but that. although
her conduct was orderly, service was re,
fused to her on the ground that she had
come without male escort, that 81 had
to leave the place without being waited on
and that the humiliation she suffered made
her i'll.
The plaintiff based her complaint on
the Civil Rights bill. which was originally
intended for the protection of negroes
and which provides that all persons shall
be entitled to the full accommodations,
advantages, facilities and privileges OF
inns, restaurants and all oher places OF
public accommodation or amusement SUBJ
iect only to the conditions and limitations
established by law and applicable alike
to all citizens
Justice Greenbaum holds that Mr., Rosen-
field was entirely within the law in re-
fusing to serve unattended women. NO
attempt was made by the plaintiff to show
that she was Disseminated against while
other unescorted women were admitted.
In the course Of his discussion Justice
Greenbaum also held that a restaurant
could make and enforce rule requiring
all pat ronS to wear evening dress.

Humantarianism and commercialism are

cessions are given. There ia now very
