+ CHICAGO.-The cabaret is to be
.banished from Chicago. 1t may be all
right for New York. Boston, Podunk
and places like that. but it will not

Major Funkhouser, has turned his

amuse. He says they only disgust.
A subcommittee of the Council Ii
cense Committee held meeting to-
day, and pronounced sentence on the
cabaret. The committee was suppos-
ed to investigate, but the menu Of
an amusement park, which was exhi-
blted at the meeting, made an inyes-

was a printed picture of couple do
