CLEMENCEAU IN PURITY FIGHT
French Premier Makes Strict Reeula-
tlon for Singers and Dancers
in Cafes
Cablo ID The IIerald


PARIS, Jan. 12.-Like Napoleon, Pre-
mier Clemenceau pridcs himself ON all
lowing no application to great affairs
to prevent him from governing with the
keenest eye to detail. In the midst of
the church-state excitement he has is
sued an "edict of Moscow regulating
the cafe concerts.
Moralists have long protested against
the custom throughout France Of fore
ing the women performers to circulate
in the audience on the preteXt of coli
lecting tips. Clemenceau now draws a
rigid line. Singers and dancers must
henceforth be separated from the audi
eEce by a balustrade at least three feet
high, and never appear ON level with
the tables.
This measure means the disappear
ance of most of the cafe concerts, al
least in the provinces, since the railing
destroys the very reason fer the eX-
istence Of those establishments.
Clemenceau has also by an arbitrary
stroke of his all-powerful pen practical

censorships but only ON moral grounds

MEASURE PASSED QUIETLY BY
LAST PARLIAMENT
Fact of Its Going Into Operation Comes
as Great Surprise to PubIic-Law
Imposes Heavy Penalties on
Those Who Take Bets
Special Cable to The Herald.


LONDON, Jan. 12.-One of the sur
prises of the new year is the coming
into operation of new betting act.
Few people seemed to realize that so
important a bill had slipped quietly
through parliament at the last session.
Anyhow the result is that one OF Lon
don't greatest pests, the street book
maker. who used to frequent particu-
lar beats for the purpose of receiving
bets. Is out of employment.
Numbers are advertising that they
have discontinued business. Others
are waiting to see whether the act has
the proverbial loophole.
A great reform thus has been in
augurated which will have considerable
influence on the prosperity of the work.

ing outside factories and taking bets
from men and women alike. So strong
Is the fascination for gambling that
laborers will risk all their earnings in
the hope of spotting a winner.
Law Provides Heavy Penalty
The betting act goss straight to the
| point and imposes penalties which are
not to be sneered at. The first offense
or frequenting the street is met by
fine of $50, the second 800 and the third
or subsequent offense entails risk of q
$3.50 fine or Imprisonment up to six
| months.
The law takes a specially grave view
or betting transactions with boys un-
| der 16 years of age 1t imposes the
severest penalty for this offense.
Race courses are specially exempted
from the restrictions. but public
| places" as defined In the act, include
public parks, gardens, sea beaches, or
any uninclosed ground to which the
public has unrestricted access. Street"
is made to include highways, public
courts, alleys, or passages, whether
| thoroughfares or not.
| 1t will be difficult to escape this law
until flying machines come into gem
eral use. Nothing prevents an aerial
gathering for the purposes of book
making.
Servants Law Slipped Through
Another act of parliament that slip-
ped through quietly, of which no no
tice was taken at the time, is not re-
ceived with so general approval, rather
with dismay, by suburban household
ers In particular. 1t is the compensa-
tion act. Domestic servants have been
brought within it's scope. Mistresses
may be called upon at any time to find
$500, If not more, in compensation
should the servant meet with death
while I'm her employment.
Suburban householders, as a rule,
have not $500 to play with. This pro-
vision will press upon them heavily.

the customary announcements in the

CONDITIONS ARE BAD

State Inspection is Urgent

Washington, ID. c., Aug. 1.-THE
existence of conditions in small meat
packing houses, bordering upon
those which caused a storm OF indig-
nation against the packers a year
ago, was limited at today by Acting
Secretary Of Agriculture w. N. Hays.
in the course OF conversation with
a correspondent.
The public has no adequate pro-
lection against the small packer, who
is doing purely state business,
said Assistant Secretary Hays. "Lo-
cal meat inspection. by which | mean
the inspection of plants not subject
to the federal inspection, is open to
the same objections as were contain
ed in the uprising of a year or two
ago.
1.-The legislatures of the various
states must be brought to realize the
situation and pass laws which will
give adequate protection to the pub
lie. They must pass laws for local
inspection as stringent as the federal
laws, and modelled as far as possible
upon those laws"
