The Alcoholic Beverage Con-
troll Board today was considering
whether it should devoke or
suspend the Glass L liquor IL
cense Of the Atlas Club, 1349 Z
street NV. This permits the
sale Of setups to members pro-
viding their own liquor, during
certain hours.
The board concluded the TAX
ing Of testimony yesterday and
heard the clubs lawyer. Charles

penalty Of revocation should not
be invoked in this case. He ar
gued that everyone is entitled
to at least one chance.
AS is his custom, Assistant
Corporation Counsel Andrew @.
Conlyn said he would not make
any comment on q penalty. He
produced police evidence to show
that gambling was in progress at
the club when it was raided on
February II. 1856. An UNDER
cover policeman, Thomas j.
Glockengieser. who got q mem
bership card. testified he often
bought liquor at 81 q drink at
the clubs second-floor bar and
that alcoholic liquors were con-
sumed after hours.
Manager Testifies
Before Mr.. Ford made his
closing address. the clubs sole
witness. Arthur B. Cross. the
new manager, testified. Mr..
Cross said the clubs board Of
directors asked and got the resig-
nation Of Garrett F. Quinn as
manager. Prior testimony was
that Mr.. Quinn had pleaded
guilty to one count Of an indict-
ment and. as the clubs secre-
tary-treasurer, had admitted
operating gambling there.
Mr.. Cross also testified the
club gives between 5000 and
$4,000 annually to charities and
church affairs. Mr.. Ford intro
duced letters from the Police
Boys Club. Almas Temple, Con-
zaga High School, Children's
