Serve Drinks Only With Food.

Regularly licensed restaurants are con-
1nuing their business along the lines
pursued before the excise law became eff
fective, the exception being that drinks
are served to women only with food.
Police captains conferred with Corpora
ton Counsel Thomas yesterday, and We're
advised to refrain from interference with
restaurant keepers in the matter of serv-
ing liquor with food until the new excise
board is organized.
Corporation counsel told the captains
that they should see to the enforcement
of the provisions of the law relating to
opening and closing, selling to minors
and other parts of the law about which
there can be no question.
Paragraph of the act provides that no
minor under the age of eighteen years
shall be allowed to enter or be permitted
to remain in any place where intoxicat-
ing liquors are sold, other than hotel,
restaurant or club.
Corporation Counsel Thomas said this
morning that the foregoing part of the
law became operative July /, and he add
ed, it means just what is stated. Under
its provisions. he declared, 1T is up to the
dealer to make an honest effort to keep
all such minors from his place.

WIFE OF REPRESENTATIVE
KENT VOICES OBJECTIONS
Most Restaurant Keepers Continuing
to Serve Women, But Only With
Food Orders.

Many women in Washington are loud
in their objections to the provisions of
the new excise law. Many of them do
not base their objections upon the fact
that they are not to indulge in intoxicants
as freely as are the men, but base their
complaint upon the ground that they
were legislated against because of their
sex
Mrs. Kent, wife of epresentat tive Will
liam Kent of California and prominent
in the ranks of the suffragists. thinks
the legislation unjust because of its dis
elimination against the fair sex. She Of
fers no objection to legislation calculat ted
to protect women from the drink evil, she
says but she does think that women
should have a voice in the framing of
the law.
4 think it palpable presumption for
men to pass a bill which so discriminates
between men and women, she said.
IF men can have their drinks at will,
she continued, Il do not see that they
have any right to deprive women of the
same privilege. more particularly when
the women have no say in the question"
Question Perplexing Restaurateurs.
The question of serving drinks to women
is one of the most perplexing questions
that have arisen under the law, restaurant
keepers say, and it is only in cases where
they are furnished food that they are
permitted to get intoxicants. Many woman
patrons of restaurants have expressed
surprise when walters told them they
could not be served a cold bottle of beer
without an order for food being given.
In most instances, it is stated, food was
ordered, while in other instances the
thirsty ones merely denounced the affair
as a plan of the restaurant keepers to
get more money from them, and left the
places without being served anything.
The city number of licensed restau-
rants probably will be larger this year
than ever before, it is stated, as many
persons in the liquor and lunch business
are anxious to have their places declared
restaurants in order that they may not
have to discriminate between the sexes.
In the mail that is rapidly accumulat-
ing for the new excise board are a num-
Der of applications from restaurant keep

manner, leaving sundry severe bruises
as a result. Zlovosky told his story
