 Police Commissioner Arthur Woods stood pat yesterday on his declaration of Tuesday that conditions in Broad way are good. Beyond that he would not discuss tango or cabarets.
 Later he may have something to say when an inquiry, declared to have been begun last Friday before the Kelly case reached head, is com pleted. This inquiry centers about the Tenderloin.

 Meanwhile the proprietors of the tango palaces are in a state of panic. Promptly at o'clock yesterday morn ing the lid was clamped down. Men on the doors, ordinarily Knowing to a wink, a nod or a greenback, were as adamant.

 Al Davis, Bonnie Glass and others ' of the set with whom Miss Kelly :, :hummed are still missing from their l Broadway haunts This perhaps is | aue as much to the knowledge that .heir presence at this time is not wanted as to anything else.
