sdered to be the private dwelling"
of d member under the Prohibition
laws, SO that such members may keep
and use liquors lawfully acquired be-
fore the 18th Amendment went tinto
effect.
This matter is governed by the Ma
tional Prohibition Act and the Regula-
tions of the Bureau of Internal
Revenue Regulations 60) issued
thereunder Both the Act (Title II,
Section 25) and Regulations 90, Article
XV (as amended to date contain
these words :
The term private dwelling shall
be construed to include the room or
rooms used and occupied not trans
iently but solely as residence in an
apartment house, hotel or boarding
house"
While neither this nor any other
section expressly refers to Clubs, yet
it indicates the lines along which your
inquiry is to be answered.
Where a member lives permanently
at a Club and has a room or rooms
there under his complete and ex-
elusive control as his bona hde
residence, then such room or rooms
would be his private dwelling"
emitting him to have his liquor there.
But these rooms could not include the
dining room open to other members,
and he would have 10 right to take
his liquor into such dining room. He
may use it only in his own room or
rooms.
With the exceptions of such persons
as do in good faith and in reality oc-
cupy rooms i'll the Club as their
private dwelling, no members have
the right to keep or use their liquor
at the Club.
Courts may have held that a Club
is a private dwelling" of the mem
bers for some purposes, but as to the
ordinary club member who lives at
home and comes to the Club for
recreation and pleasure it could hardly
be held that the Club is used and
occupied not transiently but soley"
as his residence.
Nor would private locker bring
the member within the law. A locker
could not be a dwelling
In further answer to your letter, IT
may be stated that no new ruling was
made in April, 1922, which gave rise
to the item in the New York Tribune
of April 1o, which you sent. This
related to an individual having more
than one private dwelling. You will
agree that whether house, apartment
or room is private dwelling" within
the meaning of the Prohibition law is
question of fact in each case 1t is
perfectly possible for person in fact
to have more than one private
dwelling. If, in good faith, and in
reality, person has more than one
private dwelling, used and occupied
not transiently but solely as his
residence" then, under the law, he
can have his liquor in each such
dwelling. But this certainly does not
give every member of Club the right
to call his Club his private dwelling
within the meaning of the Prohibition
law
1t is hoped that this matter has been
made clear to you and others in
terested.

uOn OF the Deer petition III Chicago
What Is Cermalss Record?
In December, 1912, the Chicago
City Council had under consideration
the Police Reorganization Ordinance
Cermak appeared before the commit
tee Of the Council and demanded that
all reference to the enforcement OF
the state laws be stricken from the
Ordinance. This angercd some mem
bers of the committee and caused a
lively tilt
81 think the city of Chicago is out
of the kindergarten class and can
legislate for itself" said Alderman
Block. IL have high regard for the
United Societies. but | am not ready
to have lis representatives come here
and strike everything from this
ordinance regarding the enforcement
of law in this city
1--WE do not care if you put these
things back in the Ordinance sale
Mr.. Cermak. "We are against then
and have so stated. We shall report
back and il will cause trouble. Wher
you get your public morals inspector
on the Job and he makes a few reports
you will hear from your constittl-
ency."
why should man running de-
cent saloon object to inspection?'
asked Alderman Geiger.
1--WE do not care aything about the
saloon" answered Cermak "Put
them out of business and your finance
committee will go out of business at
the same time"
TO what do you object, if not the
inspection of saloon," asked Alder
man Geger.
We'll, we object to any supervision
of our dances"
"Well, cut out the dance halls and
leave the rest of the ordinance as il
is
II object to that" shouted Alder
man Burns. Dance halls are the very
places that need inspection"
"If you want morals inspector,
better leave it as it is" said Cermak
sarcastically.
What is your Society organized
for?" asked Alderman Bradshaw
"You say you are organized for pur-
pose; tell us what that purpose is"
1--WE are organized for the purpose
of getting as liberal laws as we can.
You know we have other laws pro-
viding that liquor shall not be sold
between midnight and o'clock in the
morning, but we get permits for our
dances that permit liquor being sold
up to 3 o'clock. Then there is the
o'clock closing ordinance, which is
another violation of state law. We do
not want those laws enforced"
In a scathing editorial December
%, 1912, the Chicago Tribune blisters
Cermak for this piece of effrontery.
This is the editorial;
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1922-09-22
Supported Bar Permit Evil

At the close of the Busse ad-
ministration the Sumner Vice Com
mission reported that public dance
halls were one of the chief recruiting
grounds for the social evil 1t found
the special bar permit large con-
tributing factor, and one of its inn
portant recommendations was that it
be abolished.
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1922-09-22

The Cermak who appeared before the
Council Committee considering the
Police Reorganization Ordinance and
threatened the Aldermen who dared
insist upon supervision OF dance halls
was merely the same Cermak who in
the Legislature fought the parole bill
because it allowed a Judge to put
drunkard who was running his life and
destroying his family under pledge not
TO drink.
Opposed Dance Hall Regulation
Let the dance hall wreck as many
lives as it will; let the miserable
drunkard go headlong into the deepest
gull of misery; let him drag his wife
and children after him; let every
atrocity which can follow in the wake
OF drink go undsturbed, but don't
dare touch a single privilege of the
business which sells liquor
"Cermak brings the decent Associa-
ton of men known as the United So
cieties to his aid because he tells them
that the city proposed the impert-
inence of inspecting their dances.
They cannot intelligently accept this
buncombe. They are as interested as
any so-called Puritans could be that
amusement shall not be ruin. They
will be the last to insist that under a
liberty granted them license de-
structive to youth should be tolerated.
Always Against Efficient Enforce
ment
What intolerance does the city
manifest toward their Sunday diver
sons2 None. What impertinence is
it likely to manifest towards their
Saturday night dances? None. They
know it Inspection in their case
would be an inoffensive formality.
They must know that In the case of
indecency it would be a deterrent. The
great majority OF the men who give
Cermak power are respectable. He is
not working for them when he de-
mands immunity for all. He is quite
right when he says that the police
power is sufficient now to stop any
abuse of the liberty used under dis
regard of law. The police power is
sufficient. The Ordinance merely
seeks to make it efficient, and to this
Cermak objects. The United Socie-
ties, with their prejudices inhamed,
may support him. They cannot if they
will allow their own instincts to gov-
ern them.
at is only an accident of politics
that it is an officer of court who is
insolent in demand that law be not
enforced, in the protection of de-
cency. 1t is not an accident that this
man can speak for the United Socie-
ties. If they do not wish to be mis-
understood they will get another
spokesman"
