BOHEMIAN SETTING
! FOR CAFE HELD OK.
Judge in New York Holds Restau.
rauteur Has Right to Pro-
vide Music.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 31.-Orchestral
music in the Bohemian atmosphere of
Greenwich Village is not sufficient
grounds for charging a restaurateur
with maintaining public nuisance,
according to a ruling of the special ses-
sions court. Robert Cushman, proprie-
tor Of cafe. on West 4th street. was
discharged
Justice Salmon in rendering the de-
cision said Cushman's license implied
that he might have music at his res
taurant and permitted him to invite the
public. Cushman could hardly be held
responsible for the conduct of his
patrons after they reached the side
walk, Justice Salmon states, adding
that 'he is no different from the pro-
prietor of many hotels and restaurants
where music and dancing prevail
There was on evidence that liquor was
sold in the cafe, the court said.
On request of Assistant District At
torney Carstarphen a charge against
Cushman of impairing the morals of
minors in connection with the operation
of the cafe was set for April 3. The
same court acquitted Cushman several
weeks ago of conducting a disorderly
house.

be put more accurately.
From the lips of every man who
sees Mr.. Coolidge in these trying
hours falls an expression of belief
that he Is going to make a notable
President All visitors find he has
himself uncommonly well in hand.
They discern no traces that he has
either been elevated into undue
austerity by his sudden ascent to the
heights or unnerved by the immense
responsibilities that so precipitately
have overtaken him. All observers of
the President at close range are con-
fident he will grow" with every
contact he has either with political
leaders or with the people. Hitherto
Mr.. Coolidge's public appearances
have not been conspicuous for eX-

he says, not by how he says it: On

Coolidge political psychology He is
not addicted TO going off half cock ed.
When he fires. his gun will be fully

TO carry out the same metaphor, Cool
idge is not in the habit of aiming in

shoots it will be toward the goal TO

And when his seat is assigned

at their true worth, will place him

when the man with whom he talked

that SO many Of the unIhinking

related it, the Presidents reply was:
