Daniel w. Boehm, of the Board of
Excise Commissioners, last night
sealed the fate of the cabarets. either
with male or female talent, in this
city for this year during his term as
president. A petition, which had
been circulated by the Walters
Union and bore 167 names, was re-
ceived by the board last night After
it had been read to the board by
Secretary LaRoe, President Boehm
told the members that he thought
such a petition should come under
the jurisdiction of the president, ac-
cording to the action of the board
last February to allow the chairman
to pass on all applications for per-
mits to have music, dancing, singing.
vaudeville, or other entertainments
IN connection with saloons and
hotels.
President Boehm asked the mem
bers what disposition they desired to
make of this particular petition, and
commissioner Hugh J. Gallagher
made a motion, which was unani-
mously adopted, to refer it to the
discretion of the president. After
the meeting, when a representative
of the NEWS asked Mr.. Boehm if
he would grant the request, he re-
piled, mo, will not" A delegation
OF about twenty appeared in the in
,terest. OF the petition, but none of
them spoke in its behalf
Since the elimination of the caba-
rets by the board and the consequent
loss of jobs sustained by members of
the Walters Union, they have been
trying to arrange some form OF
cabaret which would meet the ap-
proval Of the commissioners, and
finally decided to petition for only
male talent. However, the excise
commissioners took the position that
1t were better for the city to have no
such places in connection with sa
looms and refused to give IAN inch
and open an opportunity for proprie
tors Of cabarets to take an ell"
The commissioners also tabled an
application for new saloon license
