The San Francisco call., 1910-03-24

investigation of the new order to per-
nit dancing in the downtown tender
loin cafes and the why and wherefore of
it was undertaken yesterday by the
civic section of the California club. The
section did not carry matters to the
extent of adopting denunciatory resolu
tions or petftioning for withdrawal
of the order, but it asked for the names
of the business firms which signed the
petition on which the new order was
based.
Nobody connected with the club was
willing to predict the use to which the
list might be put or even to say that the
firms concerned would come under the
ban of the clubs displeasure. Surprise
was openly expressed, however. at the
fact that some of the firm names al
ready published were included in the
list of petitioners and there was gen.
eral desire to learn more about the list.
After considerable discussion of the
matter the secretary of the civic sec
tion was instructed to write the board
of police commissioners requesting
copy of the list of names. A further In
struction was given that should the
commission refuse to furnish copy of
the petition, Its reason for such refusal
should be inquired into.
we want to know the names of those
who signed the petition said a prom-
nent member OF the club. I'VE Supposed
| that only those directly interested in
the saloons and dance halls would lend
themselves to 1T, but it has been stated
that many prominent merchants signed
| IT. and some names already have been
mentioned. Now we want to know. We
want TO examine the list and see Just
who these merchants are, so that we
may know something about the attitude
of the firms we deal with toward this
dancing question. / don't know what
use the list may be put to. We want to
see 1t first"
