SAYS DANCE HALL
CHARGE IS UNTRUE

Taking issue today with a statement
Of Alderman Christopher Freeman that
ne had seer persons entering dance
halls with bottles Of whiskey buisins
out Of their pocket and while under
the influence OF liquor, and who adyo
Gated licensing the halls. Chief OF
Police John Drabell, OF Orange. said he
never heard Of cases Of i~ntoxicatior
at the dances or of liquor being taken
into the halls.
we really have no places known ar
dance halls IN tie strict sense of the
word here IN Orange. but halls where
dances are held. At each of these at
fairs special policemen are detailed for
the purpose Of preserving order. and
they have eve reported to me men
who were intoxicated at the dances.
There is a reeeption-room conduct
ed by the organization having the
dance where they treat their friends to
beer, but we are told IN advance there
viii be a reception-room, and We can
not stop that. There are never any.
violations Of the laws. however, and
the special men detailed at the halls
look carefully to 1t that there is no
trouble of any kind"
Chief Drabell said he did not favor
having licenses issued TO the hall pro
p~rietors Of dance halls. as the further
away liquor is kept from such places
the better it is for the people who at
tend, in his opinion.
II would favor licensing a good
dance hall, the affairs to be under
strict police supervision said M
Freeman today. Il would not care TO
give licenses out generally, but II a
hall were licensed here many who non
go to Newark to the affairs would re-
main in this city"
