City Attorney Charles JI, Aliercrom bi entered Wis fight, tp close the dance halls, late yesU-rday ftftermKin, by no tifying the proprietor! of tha various resorts, that ack and every one who! place was open lt night would be ar rested and prosecuted by hlm( the city attorney) May. The dame hall men Immediately resjiouded to tlw notiflc lion, whlth waa by teleuhone and lield a consultation with the city attrney anu it is said an agreed to close tlieir places, with the exception of ' John Mepiienson, who runs the Savoy. In an interview last cvenlnx with rcirewntativa of the Astorisn. Mr. Ab- ercromble stated that he meaut bust ns ami every proprietor whoe dunce hall was open for business last even ing, would be srrested on warrant and precuted today lu tlie polk court, for violating the ordinance nrobibltlmf dance nans. Ana further, tliat icnceforth whenever evidence was produced, that any person was ojierating a dance hall within tlie limits of the City of Astoria, he would proneeute him for th viola tion of the ordinance. 'I am tired of the continual biokeriiu? and delay between the council and the polka commlsslonera, it Is the senti ment of the people that thet places be closed and I Intend to close them with out ftitanoe of the police department, Utey have nothing to do, with this," was the city attorney's reason for the order imsucd yesterday. M?me months ago the police commis sion addred ft communication to the council in which they stated that If the council authorized the board of police commissioners to go ahead and close up tlie dance balls that they (the commis sioners) would do ao. At that tune the council took the stand (hat it was the duty of the commissioners to enforce the law and refused to issue, any in struotious and at that the matter rest ed until the suspension, of the police force by Mayor Wise on Saturday. Upon ffOod authority It has been stated that the couucil had that aame view in mind, Monday nkht, when the matter of the Mayore auipenion was referred to the health and police com mittee for investigation, that it was the opinion of majority of the members of the council, that the Slayor had gone too far and undertaken duties that rightfully belonged to the police com-j mi-Aioncr. It waa also stated upon me -iiiiie authority that for that reason the council would ultimately h&ve refused to sustain the Mayor s suspension or tlie ulice force and the matter would nave ran 'drooped, until some frenh outbreak liclow the deadline brought the condi tions to tho surface and again aroused the people. A trip down AHor street last even ing, dMosed the fact that according to the law there was only one dance nan running, the. Savoy, the others had loptcd a aubtortuge to evade me ia, r stopping all dancing, but the places ore open, the mmtio playing and the girls upon the floor aa usual. A couple of tables and some chair occupied ine .pace usually given over to dancing and n the instance of the Waldorf which stopped dancing on Monday vaudeville was lutituted in Ha place. The sub terfuge while It releases the proprietors from all liability does not better uie conditions In the slightest particle, as the girls are allowed to drink at the bar and the conditions are cxaotly the same as between dances before. nf the Savov said: "1 UWjfllv.. vH V have paid my license and when I ob tained that license it was my under standing with the police commissioners that I would be permitted to run a dance hall and I will stop the dancing just as soon as the commissioners notify me to do so.-And if I close, all the gambling must close also. I intend to light the case and as I told Mr. Aber croinble, ' today, I will subpena the police officers to show that there Is not one black mailt against my place, no robbers or anything of that sort. I will close when the police commission ers toll me to. If the Mayor and Attor ney Abercrombio want to cloe up the town, they must close It all up and not alone the dance halls. In my opinion, the danoing does not do any particular harm, it Is the owner's control over his boxes and upstairs rooms which go to make a place safe or not. If the pro prietor of a place of this kind tells his girls that ha will not protect them if a man Is robbed in one of the boxes, they .-111 noon stop that line of operations and the mere stopping of the dancing will not help the situation, as a wnoie, one single bit." : When the proprietors of the other at ' . lust If 11 Special ! ft Special! 438 Hen's Suits, sizes 34 to 46 Worth from $12.50 to $25 25 Per Cent Off HERMAN WISB I The Only Dust Proof Moth Proof Clothes Shop " In Oregon. in two d&iK halls were seen tliev both declared that it was their Intention to obey the officials and not cause any trouble whatever as could be plainly seen by the fact that there was no dancing going on in their places. They denied that there was any agreement amongst the dance hall men to make a test ease out of the Svoy. Toliee Commissioner Foard stated that, he was perfectly willing to close the whole town up at any time, y- .-..'; Chairman Page of the board of com missioners declared that the commis sion had no nower in the matter, the council received and disbursed the reve nues accruing ifrom the police depart ment and were the ones to order the town closed or open. Mr. Pace stated .further that any one had a right to swear to a complaint against the pro prietor of a dance hall or any found breaking the ordinances of the city and had the power to arrest that person without warrant or other authority. He expressed the willingness of the police commission to close the town at any time the council authorired it to do so. City Attorney Abercrombie in ft see ond interview last evening said that he would puh the case against Stephenson. He stated io response to a question that he could not touch on the gambling question as that came under the state law and waa within the province of the district attorney.
