Outer Guard.

Two al-night permits for cafes were is
sued yesterday from the Mayors office.
and none OF the remaining six Of the previ-
Gus total of sixty such licenses was re-
voked.
Patrick Rooms place, on Tenth avenue,
near the Gansevoort Market, and Timothy
]. Shines cafe. on upper Sixth avenue,
were the lucky ones, and their applica-
tions for permission to remain open from
! TO O'Clock in the morning were ap-
proved
The license issued by the state Excise
Department covers the other hours of the
day. and the all-night part of 1t in those
two cases was judged reasonable by Mayor
Gaynor after he had investigated the char
acter of their trade.
Rooms place. on Tenth avenue, is fire.
quented by produce dealers and market
employees from the nearby Gansevoort Mar
ket, and Shines cafe caters to the press
men Of uptown newspapers. another class
of night workers whom the Mayor had
promised he would not deprive of their
eating places.
Apparently for the same reason the trio
around the Brooklyn Bridge entrance
Furthmann's Andy Horns and the
Bridge Cafe-still held their all-night per-
mits when the Mayors Office closed for the
day but il is understood that final judg-
ment has not yet been rendered in their
cases.
George Rector, whose all-night license at
the cafe Madrid was among those revoked
CT Monday called at the Mayors office
yesterday and had a talk with Mr.. Gaynor.
His argument in favor of a renewal Of his
privilege didn't seem to have any more
effect On the Mayor than the simple ap-
plication filed by Jake Wolff and other
Tenderloin resort proprietors who were
not fortunate enough to secure admission
TO the Mayors sanctum.
Wolffs license was revoked on Monday,
together with Rector's. but when he called
yesterday he didn't penetrate any further
into the Mayors office than the southeast
corner OF the desk of Robert Adamson, the
Mayors secretary-said corner being the
nearest one TO the outer door of the office.
There he was told all he could do would
be TO fill out an application for a new
license, which would be investigated and
considered in due course.
The Mayor said he knew Rector and had
talked with him, but he didn't go into
further details; simply pointed out that
only two licenses had been issued yester-
day and neither OF these to so-called Ten
derioin resorts.
Asked whether he would grant licenses
10 places patronized by theatrical people,
the Mayor said that he had not considered
the matter yet, but he repeated his state
ment that all legitimate night workers
would be provided for.
He said that dozens of the proprietors
OF places whose alI-night licenses he had
revoked had called to see him, but he in
tiInated that their arguments We're sec
cndary considerations with him, and that
he is relying on the reports made by his
own investigators.
Timothy J. Shine was very happy last
night
For some time Shine kept a saloon on
Sixth avenue. Finally mum Der of the night
workers who visited his place asked him
10 establish d restaurant, which he did on
June p. When the Mayor decided to re-
yoke number of the all night licenses
Shines place was the first one affected.
AS a result of his conference with the
Mayors secretary Mr.. Shine said that
word had been sent Maynard A. Clement,
State Commissioner of Excise, at Albany,
giving the various reasons why Shine
should be allowed TO keep open.
