LINER ROTTERDAM
REPORTED ON FIRE
Vessel Carries Many Passen-
gers, Who Are Said to Have
Been Landed

AMSTERDAM, Sept 2. - The Holland

est of the great fleet of passenger-carry-
ing vessels of the Holland-American line.

and has beam of II feet.
The Rotterdam was built in 1908 at Bel

with four decks and modernly built
throughout. Her captain is given by

She flew the Dutch flag and was regis
tered at Rotterdam.
LONDON Sept. 2.-Dispatches received

WEST PHILADELPHIA
MAY LOSE CABARET
Judge Patterson Issues Order
Revoking License of
"Whitey's"

West Philadelphia will, in all prob
ability lose its one and only cabaret.
"whitey's," at 1920 and 1920 Market street,
is expected to lose its license. Judge Pat
terson today handed down an opinion re-
voking the license of the place, but
before the act can become official 1t must
be signed BY Judge Stake, at present
out OF the city.
Whitey's is operated by London e.
Polsky. II is alleged that they failed to
heed the oft-repeated warnings of Judges
Patterson ana Stake.
The reasons given by the court in its
opinion we're that liquor was sold to in
toXicated persons, and that the place had
been conducted in a disorderly manner.
The disorder, it was brought out by d.
Clarence Gibboney, president of the Law
and Order Society, consisted Of having
the patrons join the paid performers in
singing.
So much noise was made. 1t Is said the
place got to be a nuisance. Mr.. Gibboney
has been fighting to have the license re-
voked for some months, but hc">tofore
the proprietors have been able to stave
this off. Some months ago both Judges
of the court expressed strong disapproval
of the cabaret features, but, according to
the testimony today, no effort was made
to do away with these.
The court held that such entertainments
as singing or quasi-theatrical perfor-
mances are fictitious attractions, in
tended to make people resort to taverns.
when otherwise such persons would re-
main away"
The province of the tavern, the Court
held, Is to accommodate the public with
eating, drinking and lodging. A hungry
or thirsty man who needs something to
eat or something to drink does not re-
quire the factitious attractions, 1t was
held, and accordingly the only touch of
the Gay White Way West Philadelphia
has ever known is to be closed.

indication that the vigorous campaign

dred to get out a large registration would
begin to produce results this afternoon

Reports from all sections of the city
show that less than 10 per cent of the
voters registered this morning. Division
leaders declare that they are holding
back on account of the sudden change
In the political program. In many cases
the apparent indifference is due to con-
