MAINTAIN ORGANIZATION
DOES NOT SELL LIQUOR
Attorneys for California Club Argue
Against Test Claim Brought by
MIR. Gunner to ventiIate
Moot Point

That dispensing liquor to club mem
bers for money does not constitute a
sale of liquors under the meaning of
the law was the contention of the at
torneys for the California club, who
were before the superior court yester-
day resisting the suit of James Cuz-
ner, who enjoined the club.
Judge Ewing of Ventura county
came to Los Angeles to hear the case.
All but one of the judges Of the su-
perior court here are barred from sit
ting in the case or account of their
membership in the California club, or
similar organizations.
The argument was on the demurrer
of the California club. The suit was
brought by Mr.. Gunner for the pur-
pose of testing the right of the or
ganization to dispense liquor under the
usual plan followed by social clubs. He
claims criminal prosecution of the
club would endanger the value OF its
property. q
Attorneys for the club took the stand
that the club cannot be construed to
be in the liquor business. They con-
tend that conducting a business in
wolves the earning of q livelihood, and
claim the club does not dispense LIQUOR
for that purpose. They said yesterday
that the California club was not a
scheme to evade the liquor law, but a
bona fide social organization. They
said the liquor was merely furnished"
club members and not sold them. The
reason price is demanded is that 1t
would be unfair to tax those who do
not drink for, that which others con-

aid all the winners in The Herald's
big subscription contest will be given
a banquet Friday, July 8, at noon.
After the dinner they will be the guests
of The Herald at the matinee at the
Orpheum.
When this announcement was made
1t was thought that there would be no
difficulty in obtaining the cafe of the
Hollenbeck as the place for the ban
quet, but after the list of prize winners
had been consulted and 1t was re-
membered that each winner of a prize
had the privilege of bringing friend
1t was found that covers would have to
be laid for about $50. This large num-
ber, especially at the noon hour, would
tax the Hollenbeck cafe. to it's utmost
lin fact 1t Is quite doubtful If all could
get in. Under these circumstances 1t
was decided to procure larger dining
hall. The cafe of Coulter's dry goods
store, on Broadway between Second
and Third, has been selected as the
best place for the banquet.
AS announced before, all the con-
testants are requested to meet at The
Herald office promptly at 11:45 a. m.
From there they will go in a body to
Coulter's and after dinner to the Or
pheum.
All those who have dined at the
Coulter cafe know how pretty 1t is and
what good things one gets to eat there.
But for The Herald banquet there will
be a special menu which will appeal to
the appetites of all. This menu will
be published In tomorrows paper. The
judges In the contest will attend the
banquet and also the performance at
the Orpheum, where two boxes have
been reserved for their use.
1t is hoped that every winner of a
prize, whether 1t was deed to a house
and lot, a piano. motorcycle or one
of the many lesser ones, will be pres
ent at the hour designated to join In
the celebration over the success of the
contest-successful from The Herald's
point of view in added subscriptions
and from that of the contestants in the
valuable prizes won.
1t can be stated with authority that
the banquet will be unusually inviting
and the table decorations dainty and
pretty. Mr.. Moore, the manager of the
cafe, assures US that he will do his
utmost to provide banquet worthy of
the celebration.

May Be Able to Return to France
Next Week.

NEW YORK. April mime Anna
Gould has practically recovered from the
attack of bronchitis which has conf ned
her to her apartments at the st. Regis
since last Monday. Nine. Gould spent
most of yesterday afternoon in company
with Mrs. Tyler Morse driving in the
MorSeS' machine. 1t is expected that by
next week her health will be res ore
sufficiently to permit her return TO France
A friend of the family said vest rday
that Nine. Gould S determination to marry
Prince de Sagan had been shaken % ne
what by the diplomacy of her brother
Edwin.
Edwin arrived from the south at the
psychological nom mt, said this inform
ant. Nine. Gould,s relations W tn her
family were at crisis. BY Sho wing a
disposition to cross her Will they had
only made her the more set on marrying
the prince. On the other hand, she was
weak. sick and friendiess and craved the
sympathy of her own kin. Edwin suppl e |

Thus Anna soon perceived that the
prince viewed through her brothers eyes

cut half the gallant. romantic figure that
dred duels. For the time being Nine
Gould did not know herself whether she
really wanted to marry Heie de "a an
or not, and she is in a state of painful

CRITICIsES DOLLIVER BILL.
Action by School Committee OF
Chamber of Commerce.

The Doliver public school bill was crit
icised at a meeting of the school commit
tee of the Washington Chamber of Com
merce yesterday afternoon. Some of the
statements made by Senator Burkett in
discussing the Dolliver measure were also
criticised and the committee favored TAX
ing action to controvert some of the
statements in question and to strengthen
the hands of senators opposed to the pas
sage of the bill.
One of the statements read from the
Congressional Record was to the effect
that there was no objection to the pas
sage of the bill on the part of the people
of the District of Columbia.
The committee decided to send a letter
containing newspaper clippings which set
forth in detail the objections made by the
people of the District through the Cham
Der of Commerce. the Board of Trade. cit
liens associations and other media of eX-
preston. This letter will show, according
to the views of the committee. that 80
per cent of the people of the District are
opposed to the passage of the Dolliver
bill.
The decision was also reached that let
ters be written to those senators who had
stood by the people of the District In OPP
position to the bill and express appre-
citation for their attitude toward the
measure.
1t is understood that a meeting of the
board of directors of the Washington
Board of Trade has been called for the
purpose of receiving the report of it's Spe-
cial committee on the merger of the two
trade bodies of the city.

MRS. THAW BEGINS SUIT.
Wants $4,000 From Manager of the
Hotel Knickerbocker.

NEW YORK, April 4.-Papers were
served on James B. Regain, manager of
the Hotel Kickerbocker, yesterday in a
suit brought by Mrs. Evelyn Thaw to
recover $4,000 damages for the injuries
caused to her feelings by stories that
she and E. r. Thomas had been asked
to leave the hotel grillroom, Mr.. Regain
turned the papers over to his counsel
Later he said that he did not look at
them long enough to find out just why
Mrs Thaw was suing him-whether 1t
was for being put out of the hotel or
because he had said he put her out. She
mas denied having been there.
Mrs. Thaw's complaint will be filed
in the supreme court today. According
to Daniel O'Reilly. her personal coun-
sci. the suit is for an alleged libel in
the story which was published about her
visit to the hotel In the complaint she
is said to assert that she and Mr..
Thomas left the hotel of their own ac-
cord and not at the suggestion of Mr.
Regain. Some time ago 1t was said that
Thomas and Mrs. Thaw were together at
the Cafe Boulevard, and Mr.. Thomas
said he had a double who was imper-
sonating him. Following the incident of
Tuesday morning Mrs. Thaw said that
she. too. had double.
Mr.. O'Reilly said yesterday that Mr..
Thomas would testify that they were
not asked to leave the grillroom.

LOSS OF THE TIGER.
Stoker's Story of the Serious Naval
Disaster.

PORTSMOUTH. April A stoker res
cued from the Tiger gave vivid account
of the accident. The Berwick flew up
out of the blackness and seemed to fall
on us said this man. The noise of the
impact was not great, but in few sec
onds we were ripped in halves. The for
ward half of the Tiger reared up like
a frightened horse and then sank beneath
the waves. The engineer-ieutenant who
was in the engine room in the after part
shouted: All hands on deck but owing
to the kissing of the steam and the noise
of the engines many of the stokers could
not hear him. When did realize what
had happened We made frantic efforts to
get on deck. The water was pouring
down into the hold in great torrents and
it was all we could do to make our way
against 1t. Everything happened with
startling suddenneSs A minute or two
after the collision we were drifting past
the Berwick in the full glare 'of the
searchlights. The next thing | remember
is being dragged into one of the rescuing
boats in semi-conscious condition.
