MAY NOT DISTURB SALOONS
Kane Won't Close Places Within
Arsenars Half-Mile Zone

A score or more of saloons situated
within the half-mile zone about the
Frankford Arsenal probably will not be
disturbed by the Federal authorities
unless a special ruling is made by the
Attorney General TO fit their cases. ac-
Cording to an announcement today by
United States District Attorney Kane.
Mr.. Kane several days ago was told
by the head of the army and navy
recreation service that the closing of
twenty-eight saloons in close proXim-
ity to the arsenal was within his juris-
dction, under the law prohibiting the
sale of intoXicants within one-half mile
of a military training camp.
A study of the law applying to such
cases however, Mr. Kane said today,
has brought him to the conclusion that 1t
is not applicable to arsenals. His in
struCtions from the Attorney Generals
Office interpreted the statute to mean
"a permanent structure for housing 25O
OF more men in the military service
during period of mobilization for
raining.
In view of this fact, the District
Attorney said he would await special
instructions, from Washington before
acting against the saloons around arse.

ing would be made.
