DANCE HALL OWNERS
WILL GET A WARNING
Commissioners Are Deter
mined to Stop Saturday
Night Evil at Saloons.

At monthly meeting of the Board
of Excise Commissioners tonight, sew.
eral important matters will come up.
Among them will be the dance hall
matter, a very important matter in the
eyes of the members of the board. Presi.
dent Mulchahey will most likely explain
to the board the contents Of his recent
communication to Mayor Bollschweiler
regarding the subject. The board has
direct evidence of two or three saloon.
keepers running free Saturday night
dances and they are determined to put
stop to the practice. j. W. Obuch,
who keeps saloon at II Penn street,
connected with which is a dance hall
and meeting room, will be summoned
before the board tonight, to answer to
charges that he maintains Saturday
night dances there. He will be repri-
manded and cautioned about continu.
ing the practice.
The investigation into this matter,
recently made by President Mulchahey,
as told in the NEWS at the time, was
the result Of a complaint from saloon.
keeper in North Amboy, whose apph.
cation for renewal was held up some
time ago, because he kept dances. The
man shut down his dance hall, but an
other saloonkeeper started Saturday
night rackets almost across the street.
The former then made complaint, and
hence the investigation.
The application Of Anton Gadek for
new license at 35 Hall avenue, in the
house owned by Excise Commissioner
John Seaman, will be withdrawn to-
night, because of the sentiment ex-
pressed by some residents in Hall ave-
nue. and vicinity. Mr.. Seaman says
the most ardent demonstrators against
the place, are present owners of saloons
in Hall avenue. The application for q
transfer from place to place in Hall
avenue, will also be WITHDRAWN tonight,
because, 1t would tend to place another
rum-shop ON that thoroughfare, which
some are opposed to.
