Al NIGHT CLUBS GET

By the Associated. Press.


NEW YORK, December 20
Broadway cabaret owners who hoped
to reap a harvest from holiday rev.
elers instead were preparing answers
to cards" left them yesterday by
United States Attorney Buckner. Own
ers OF several of the al night clubs
visited have already made overtures
for peace padlocks."
"A peace paddock" is a consent
decree by which the cabaret owner
pleads guilty of law violation and
consents to the closing of his place
for six months, instead of a year,
which is the penalty when the case
is defended and lost. Most of the
owners of resorts in the previous pro-
ceedings started by Mr.. Buckner's
office were closed under peace pad
locks" Deputy United States mar
shals, prohibition agents and special
policemen spent the most of yesterday
delivering the christmas cards" In
spite of the fact that news of their
coming had reached some of the cab
arets in advance, service was effected
in all but few places.
At the same time members of Elks'
Lodge No. | are wondering If their
chapter will be required to surrender
its charter by the grand board of
trustees of the Benevolent and Pro
tective Order of Elks, which has just
found 1t guilty of violating the pro
hibition law.
The Elks' trustees decision fol-
lowed an investigation Of the activi-
ties Of Lodge No. j. whose bar and

was padlocked by Federal authorities
for six months after it was alleged
that beer had been sold there. Grand
Exalted Ruler Atwell has the report,
