OPPOSE CABARET DANCER

T'lagrant violations of the liquor
laws are charged against some hotels,
heretofore considered among the most
conservatively conducted hostelries in
this section of PENNSYLVANIA. by the
hundreds of remonstRnts against the
granting by the Dauphin county court
OF the relicensing privileges for 1916.
The campaign is the result of the
joint efforts OF the No-Lcenss League,
the Dauphin County Law and Order
League. and a number of the congre-
cations of Harrisburg churches.
The judges of the Dauphin county
courts will sit on Friday TO hear ap-
plications for relicenses for the ensu-
ing year or TO grant new privileges.
Following are the hostelries against
which remonstrances have been filed:
St Charles, Washington and
Second streets, Is. Leslie Potter.
Harris House. George Rovar,
Third and Strawberry streets.
Savoy. 143-45 South Third,
James j. Mcclellan.

as j. Sullivan.

Granville, I. D. Lingle.
Shells Tavern, Shellsville. Ches-
ter A. Bower.
In addition TO these hostelries a re-
monstrance has been fled against the
Fink Brewing Company.
Dislike Cabaret
The objections on most of the city
hotels are based on the grounds that
liquor Is sold TO minors. to intoxicated
persons or to persons OF intoxicated
habits; that women are permitted TO
Congregate for the purpose OF solicit
ing men: that dancers are employed
TO draw the trade.
The objection against the Fink COM
pany, however, was the most startling
IN view of the fact that the United
States government recently had trou-
BILE collecting the internal revenue du-
ties from this establishment.
Next to the Columbus hotel. the re-
monstrance against the Harris House
probably attracted the more general
attention. That women drink there
and that they are suspected of fire.
quenting that place in order TO attract
men, was the gist of the charges
are advanced against the Columbus.
1 is at the Savoy that a cabaret dane
er is employed, according to the re-
monstarnts.
To File Seven More
Seven more remonStrances were
filed late this afternoon by Attorney
Harry B. Saussaman for the No-Li-
cense League. Four of these are pro-
tests against the re-licensing of the
ST. Lawrence hotel. Berrysburg, Will
liam Fl. Bowman, who will try again
for the privilege after having been re-
fused last year: a. p. Schoffstall, Ly-
kens, for maintaining a private drink
ing room: against the Fort Hunter
hotel. conducted by J. Garfield Fack-
Ter, trustee. The other objections
were supplemental remonstrances filed
against the Columbus, the Harris
House. the Savoy and the Leroy
hotels.
