NO LICENSE FOR SAM
Chinaman's Permit to Sell
Strong Drink Is Revoked

Mayor Jones has revoked the liquor Ii
cense issued to Sam Joy, manager of the
international cafe, Chinese restaurant
on Fifth street. 1t is said the Celestials
have been unable to control their bibulous
Caucasian customers who appear shortly
before closing hours and order numerous
bottles of beer which they place on a
table near at hand, and therefore violate
the law in spirit, If not in letter.
The carousals have been continued un-
I'll the early morning hours, and when
rough house is started the Chinese have
been unable to maintain order
1t Is doubtful IL any Chinaman will be
permitted to sell liquor under the Jones
administration, for the mayor and his
license committee are opposed to the sale
Of liquor by celestials.
