No More Saloons Along
Ocean Beach Boulevard
Protest of Women Wins a Victory

Three applications to sell liquor on
the Ocean boulevard were turned down
by the Police Commission last night.
The proposition Of N. c. Twilliger to
start saloon and cafe in the hall
built by the Ocean Beach Improvement
Club, which has been holly contested
by the beachside residents of the
gentler sex and many property owners,
met with defeat.
The women, both those who reside
in the district and those who are in
terested in 1t from other motives, help
ed largely to win the victory for NOR
atty. Mrs. Lowell White, president of
the Outdoor Art League, made an ap-
peal in person to the board. Five other
ladies, residents of Carville, testified
that they strenuously objected to- any
more saloons in the neighborhood.
AT the afternoon session the Police
Commissioners room was crowded with
feminine residents of the Ocean boule-
ward district A large delegation of
ladies from the Outdoor --rt League
was also present.
Twilliger's case was first called. He
reiterated the statement that he in
tended to conduct an orderly house and
that if granted license he would per-

MAYOR REFUSES
TO OPEN CASE
Notifies Union Committee
He Will Render Decision
Favorable to. Drinkhouse
GATHERING STATISTICS
Says Cigar Making Has Not
Fallen Off and Other
Charges Not Sustained

A delegation from the Cigarmakers'
Union, headed by M. Blum, president of
the union. waited on Mayor Schmitz
yesterday and conveyed a request to
MS Honor through Secretary George
b. Keane, that he either render a de-
cision or reopen the investigation into
the allegations made against Police
Commissioner Drinkhouse that the lat
ter Is using his official position to adj
vance the interests of his cigar BUSH
ness.
Keane brought word to the committee
that the Mayor positively refused to re-
open the inquiry, saying that he had
heard all the necessary evidence, which
he holds failed to substantiate the
charges made against Drinkhouse. The
Mayor said:
VIII probably give my findings in the mat
Ter either tomorrow or Thursday next. The
reason Tor my delay in announcing my decision.
which l must confess will be in favor of Mr..
Drlnkhouse. Is the delay have experienced in
securing statistics from the Internal Revenue
Department relative to the number Of cigars
manufactured in this district
one OF the charges made against Mr.. Drink
mousse was that by reason of his dealing in
Eastern made cigars the business Of the local
union cigar shops had fallen of considerably,

First District there has been an enormous in
crease in the number OF cigars manufactured.
however. am seeking correct figures relative
TO the number of cigars made in this city dur
ing the last year or two and / confident
that Will be able to prove that. instead of
decrease. a substantial increase will be shown.
which will disprove this particular charge
against Drinkhouse.
Any one who was present at the Investigation
could see at a glance that the other charges
were absolutely disproved. The fact that Mr..
Drinkhouse supplies but a very small percentage
OF the saloons with his goods shows conclusive
iy that he did not intimidate dealers to buy his
goods
Another reason for the Mayors de-
lay In formally announcing his decision
is that Drinkhouse's friends desired to
have several Of the witnesses who had
testified against him recalled in order
to show that they had been mixed up
in business transactions in the sale of
cigar shops that were not as repre-
sented and so impeach their evidence.
Drinkhouse himself thought that this
would look like persecution on the part
of the administration and he declined
to take advantage Of the point, pre-
ferring to let the matter rest on the
evidence as presented, which the Mayor
holds did not prove the charges.

NIT nothing improper in the resort.
Attorney John Carey, representing
the element opposed to the granting OF
the license, declared that If the nan
must be transferred into saloon and
restaurant the following conditions
were demanded by his clients:
The bar and cafe must be in the same room
and there must be no side rooms or partitions.
There must be speaking tubes or dummy
elevator by which drinks may be conveyed 10
rooms; the openings and entrances must not
be changed; nothing but tea, coffee and soft
drinks may be served after 10 p: M no
drinks must be served outside; II any OF
these conditions are violated the license snail
be revoked.
Commissioner Drinkhouse advocated
letting Twilliger run his restaurant for
four weeks, after which decision
could be reached as to whether or not
the license would be granted. Several
of the ladies of Carville were permit
ted to give their reasons for protesting
against the resort. After admitting
the testimony of others the Commits
sioners decided to go into executive
session and to give their decision in the
evening.
Action on the application Of the En-
ployes' Register Company, which ap-
piled for a license, was postponed one
week. The remainder Of the session
was principally devoted to hearing ap-
plications for saloon licenses.

FITCH'S "WAY
OF THE WORLD"
LACKS POWER

Rodin, the great French sculptor, has
just placed on exhibition In Paris the
complete product of his hand and
brain. Good, bad and Indifferent it is
all there. This is all Of me-" says the
big man; I'm satisfied. If you're not
be hanged to youi"
I wondered if Robins were the rea-
son for Clyde Fitch exhibiting his COM
edy, THE Way Of the World" that the
Alcazar is exploiting this week. Just
where the play comes in the Fitch
chronology I don't know, but 1t needs
a Rodin robustness of self belief to
keep it there at all. Curiously uncon-
vincing I found it; so, too, think, the
large Tuesday night audience that had
gathered to take it in. Yet there was
realism galore and of the novel Fitch
kind. There is a dramatized baby, a
dramatized cocktail, a couple of real
autos, a christening, house concert
with gilded tenor and whatnot. But
these-except the tenor-are obviously
logged in and of absolutely no import
to the action of the piece.
Scandal and politics are the basis Of
the plot. A young wife, neglected by
her husband, who is running for Coy
ernor, accepts the escort and attentions
of another man, who is unhappily mar
ried. The wife is innocent in her folly
-abnormally so-but seriously COM
promises her reputation.
The consequent scandal threatens to
ruin the husbands political prospects,
and the climax of the play is reached
when the husband rushes in at the
baby's christening to yell, This is not
me cheild!' Really, Theodore Kremer
at his creamiest could not have beaten
this. They have before the christening.
by the way, raked in the Bishop for a.
little wedding on the side, down in
the masters study-the Bishop brightly
suggesting that the wedding should
come before the baptism.
OF course there are moments as in
any Fitch play. The concert is one of
them. Very cleverly the dramatist
shows here the conventional "sassiety''
attitude toward music. Then there are
Mr.. Fitch's usual handily touched In
gossiping DANES, but little else.
The players did their best with the
material. Miss Lillian Lawrence was
quite convincing in her cocktail brew
ing. and was a sincere and gracious
figure to the limits of her opportunity
Miss Elizabeth Woodson was quite
charming, though lacking a little In the
essential breeziness of the part, as the
divorced and sorry lady. John, Craig
did a good deal for the husband, but
could not hide all of the sawdust But
there was no sawdust about the baby.
Downy little head. pink fists and all,
baby is entirely convincing possibly
because Mr.. Fitch gives him nothing
to say. BLANCHE PARTINGTON.
