4 ON SHOKES DENED) Management Says Pollock’s Beauty and Shine Service Was Inadequate. & Hearing on the right of Andrew G. Pollock, proprietor of the newsstand at the Grace Dodge Hotel, to sell clgarettes to woman patrons was continued today by Justice Siddons in Equity Division 1 of the District Su- preme Court until next Frida 5 The national board of the Y. W. A.. which conducts the hostelry, day filed its answer through Eli beth €. Harrip and Judge Michael M. Doyle, its counsel. The answer de- nies that the suit by the hotel man- agement to evict Mr. Pollock fs based ¢ on the salé of cigarettes and tobacco at the hotel. The defendant s Mr. Pollock violated the terms cl to- of his lease in several particulars and the renewal of the lease was condis tioned upon the satisfactory conduct of the and beauty parlor. The le served the right, it is claimes new the lease if Mr. Pollock’s e sions were not handled ctorily. The claim is put forth that the beauty parlor was inadequately equip- ped and that the bootblack stand w. not conducted to the satisfaction of the patror Denies Cigarette Agreement. The de.cudant denies that the hotel Manasement was more anxious to conceul the sale of tobacco and smo s’ articles than to prevent the sale. Denial also is made there was an agreement to dllow the sale of cig- arettes without display, until the stock of Pollock had been sold. That question did not arise in the discus- sion, the court is told. The Y. W. . alleges Pollock did not confine his sales of tobacco to the stock on hand at the time of the agreement to reduce his rent. He bought additional stock, it is charged.
