NIGHT CLUBS BOOTHS
WILL BE DOORLESS
Valencia Managers Agree to Po.
lice Demand and Are
Given License.

Issuance of a license to Valencia
new night club at I'll Thirteenth
street, was accorded this morning
after the management of the club had
removed the doors of 16 booths which
fringe the dancing floor in compli-
ance with the directions of Maj. Ed
win B. Hesse, superintendent OF
police, who inspected the premises
and then declared that he would ap'
prove a permit to open If the doors
were removed. The scheduled open
ing Of the club last night was post
poned because the Police Department
held up the necessary license.
After receiving Maj Hesse's {
ultimatum representatives of the club
indicated that the doors would be
removed and q short time after the
departure of the inspecting party TOOK
the doors from the hinges of the
booths and went ahead with plans
for an opening tonight.
More light and no doors on the
booths" was the way Maj. Hesse. who
was accompanied by Mrs. NINA van
Winkle, summarized the situation.
Holding up of the license was the
result of a previous inspection of the
premises by Capt. Thaddeus Bean oi
the first precinct, who stated that ne
felt that the booths afforded too much
privacy for a hall presumed to be
public.
Capt. Bean Joined the inspection
party this morning and expressed
himself as satisfied if the changes in
the booths are made. Proprietors OF
the club, Joseph and Christopher
Borras, stated that they had never
had any desire to infringe upon the
law or to conduct anything but an
orderly establishment.

WRIT OF REVIEW
MAY AID SINCLAIR
Court of Appeals Grants
Government Motion to Dis
miss Special Appeal.

Unless the United States supreme
Court should grant writ OF review,
Harry f. Sinclair. oil magnate or
New York, will have to stand trial in
the District Supreme Court on an in
dictment charging him with contempt
Of the United States Senate. The
District Court of Appeals today grant
ed a motion of United States Attor-
ney Peyton Gordon and Special At
torneys Atlee Pomerene and Owen j..
Roberts to dismiss a special appeal
which had been allowed Sinclair from
a decision of Justice Adolph A. Hoeh-
ling OF the District Supreme Court
oVerruling in part a demurrer filed to
the indictment.
The special appeal was allowed in
September, 1924. and was argued in
the Court of Appeals February g,
1925, and has since been held under
advisement by that court, awaiting Il
decision by the United States Supreme
Court in the Nal Daugherty case, in
volving the authority of the Senate to
inquire into private financial affairs
of individuals. The motion of Gov
ernment counsel was based on the
Walsh act, which was passed July 5
last and which deprives the District
Court of Appeals of jurisdiction to al
low special appeals In criminal cases.
Attorney George p. Hoover, local
counsel for Mr.. Sinclair, will ask the
Court OF Appeals to stay its mandate
on the dismissal until counsel has an
opportunity to apply to the highest
court in the land for a writ of review.
The application. it is expected, would
be similar to the one filed yesterday
by Sinclair for review of the action
of the Court of Appeals in dismissing
a special appeal in the oil conspiracy
