Die.Hard San Francisco Night
 Life Unelsy

San Francisco. Jan. 6 (UP)-The die- hard night life of San Francisco,
 which has withstood the attacks of
 prohibition law enforcement for eight years. faces curtaiimsnt or ex- 1inction from the new mo set-up"
 rules. { The proprietors of three cafes. the NFior D'Italia. Apollo and Follies,
 were charged with conspiracy to
 violate the prohibition law by fur
 nishing ginger ale. glasses and ice
 to New Years Eve celebrants. Their
 conviction was asked upon recent supreme court ruling that such practices constitute conspiracy. It was indicated that abatement proceedings will be instituted If
 they are convicted and that similar
 action will be taken against all other
 such places.
 There are scores Of places" in the
 North Beach district where anyone
 can take his own liquor and be serv-
 ed with all the necessary auxiliary devices.
 Some are elaborate cabarets, some
 are called restaurants and cafes. and some are just plain joints. It has
 always been considered quite ''arty" to patronize the institutions and San Franciscans have been proud of the
 unusual places. Most of the liquor is not served but the ginger
 ale consumption is like spring flood.
 Judge Daniel s. O'Brien. before
 whom the cases were brought, con-
 tinued them until January IF 50 he
 may check on the supreme court ruling on which the federal authori- ties base their cases.
