CHICAGO MAYOR
BARS WINEROOM
Harrison Declares Also That
Saloon Vaudeville Perform
ances Must Go.
GIVES ORDERS TO POLICE
Executive Says Many Complaints
Call for Immediate and Dras-
tic Action.

Chicago, Sept. 1S.-Mayor Harri-
son yesterday ordered Chief of Po-
lice McWeeny to enforce the laws
regulating Chicago saloons In three
letters TO the chief the mayor de-
clared that saloonkeepers are con-
stantly violating the law and order
ed drastic action, as follows:
Abolish all winerooms in saloons.
Enforce the 1 o'clock closing law.
Stop vaudeville in saloons.
This is what the mayor told Chief
McWeeny:
Complaint is made from all sec
tions of the city of the violation of
the l o'clock closing law. Please
issue a bulletin to commanding Of
ficers calling attention to this fact
and putting it up to them to see that
the ordinance is strictly enforced"
The abolishment OF winerooms and
vaudeville in saloons is ordered as a
result of discoveries made by Mayor
Harrison's special investigator andd
following numerous complaints.
EVAsIONs OF ORDINANCE.
The mayors letter to the chief in
this respect and ordering the en-
forcement of the wineroom ordinance
follows:
"My private investigator reports
that in all sections of the city there
are eVasions of the wineroom ordi-
nance In saloons desiring to evade
the ordinance the method of proceed
ure today is to have booths either
with or without curtains and either
unIighted or lighted with a dim
light and deep enough to prevent a
couple occupying them to be seen ex-
cept by one making a careful scrut-
my of the booths.
81 would suggest that officers be
assigned to check up all saloons in
the city. as was done at the time OF
the original passage of the wineroom
ordinance, and report all cases where
an attempt is made to evade the pro-
visions of the ordinance and that in
structions be issued to commanding
officers which will. result in full COM
pliance with the terms of the ordl-
nance"
FORBIDs VAUDEVILLE IN SALOONS.
Vaudeville entertainment which
has fiourished uncontrolled for sew
eraI months in Chicago saloons
must go, the mayor declared. Fol
lowing is the letter the mayor sent
10 Chief McWeeny.
please issue instructions that the
so-called vaudeville shows be cut out
of all saloons in the city. 1t is al
most an impossibility to make dis
tinction between the reputable and
disreputable saloons where prlvi-
Ieges of this character are made to
this office of conditions in various
sections of the city where these So
called vaudeville performances are
merely advertisements for the low
est form of vice.
Strictly speaking, saloon is not
entitled to a privilege of this charac-
ter, and 1 would suggest that orders
be issued prohibiting the granting
of these privileges and that no
change be made in them without no.
tice from this office.

Don't leave a lot of tail-ends hang
