Teachers in the public schools of
Prince Georges County today were

termine whether the schools will
suffer from overcrowding.
In Montgomery County, Md, the
enrolling probably will exceed $4,000.
an increase of from 900 to 300 over
last years registration. A pre-school
registration held in Prince Georges

Jimmy Lake LikeabIe,
But Negligent al His
Club, Hearing Told
Prosecutor Repeats
Demand A. B. G. Boord
Revoke License

James j. Lake is "a hkeable fellow
with an infectious personality" but
he has been negligent in the opera
ton of his Ninth street night club,
Assistant Corporation Counsel
Michal Keane told the Alcoholic
Beverage Control Board today in
repeating his demand that the
board revoke Mr.. Lakes liquor
license.
Presenting his final arguments in
the case against Mr.. Lake, who is
charged with permitting his place
to be used Illegally, Prosecutor
Keane said:
The fact that he has allowed So
Letting by prostitutes, whether or
sufficient to warrant revocation of
his license. If this isn't case of
revocation, we may as well strike
out that section of the law which
prohibits liquor establishments be-
ing used for immoral purposes"
Police Testimony Cited.
In Mr.. Lakes behalf, Attorney
James A, O'Shea told the board
there was no basis for revocation,
because there hasn't been single
violation or arrest in his establish
ment." He said all of the rs police
officers who testified in the case
told the board Mr.. Lake hao CO.
operated fully with them.
The law requires on the part OF
licensee good faith and honest
effort in conducting a liquor es-
tablishment," Mr.. O'Shea said. Mr..
Lake certainly has made every hon.
est effort to keep his place in good
order"
Mr.. O'Shea commended a hcensee
must know of violations alleged to
be taking place in his establishment
before he can be prosecuted for
them. However, Mr.. Keane con-
tended a hcensee is liable for prose-
cution if his agent has knowledge
of such violations.
Club Now Closed, He Says.
Mr.. O'Shea told the board Mr..
Lake has not opened his club since
the citations were made against
him, and added that at present
Mr.. Lake is not of the disposition
to reopen "if he is to be at the
mercy of prostitutes"
At the hearing last week, Mr..
Lake told the board he had enough
as night club impesario and re-
lated how he had made repeated eff
forts to keep prostitutes and in
toxicated persons from his estab-
lishment.
The case was taken under con-
sideration of the board.
