NEHTCLUBS WAL BECONES LOUDER ‘Padlocks and Injunctions Just at Christmas Time Is Held “Dirty Outrage.” By Coneolidated Press. NEW YORK, December 25.—Pad- locks to the right of them, padlocks to the left of them, impeded the prog- ress of wanderers In the Broadway night club district sought their Christmas cheer in gurgled form this week. Prohibition’s blight upon the Gay White Way has stirred a note of complaint that out-wails the wail of a saxophone, answering the savage attack of the Federal authorities with their padiocks and injunctions. By | New Year eve the walls will become a roar The night cluhs are spending no time in idle tears. Out of a maze of rumors comes the more or less in formed prediction that the reply of the night club owners will he political, rather than legal. Although this is distinetly a Federal drive, with Pro hibition "Administrator Mills slapping on the padlocks, the jazz magnates are passing the word to Mayor Walker that they expect him to do something in their behalf. “Dirty Outrage at This Time." Walkerswrote that song. “Will vou love me in December as you do in |& May,” said one outraged cabaret own- | who easily er. “I'm telling him we won't, unless | he can ¢ can do to.

WINCHESTER, Va. December 25.—Many yeags ago a venerable German named Diehlmann as- cended _the loftiest peak of the Blue Ridge, near Emmittsburg, Md., and played his flute at mid- night Christmas eve. The custom is still obesryed by his relatives. The same anthems and the same flute old Mr. Diehlmann played were played last night in a driz- Zling rain by one of his sons, whose program included Gounod's “Ave Maria,” “Adeste Fldelis” and O Holy Night.” For many years after the death of the elder Diehl- mann his son Larry would go to the mountain top religiously each Chri: 2 eve, regardless of the and play the flute in his Since Larry's death the custom has been upheld by another son.

The degree of success attending his efforts could be judged only by a few dark doors here and there in the calcium district. There was the usual army of hilarious “hippers” at the cabarets; vaudeville entertainers fashioned little rhymed pleasantriex in which “Mills” rhymed with “Stills" and life went merrily on. Club Owners Worried. But the night-club owners are seri- Ously worried over the new attack. particularly over the injunction phase. A mere padlock is something else again. They can remain open for 20 days, in which they can prepare a de- fense—legal or extra-legal. But the personal injunction closes them up with a bang, and it is against this ~that they have been marshaling their army of high-priced lawyer: Among the 12 or 15 “exclusive” clubs there is—actual or pretended— great indifference to the activities of Commissioner Mills. According to the managers of these clubs; a Sunday school is rather a low and question- |2 able resort in comparison with these | I! cases of sweetness and light.

There was vast curiosity about the identity of the ‘“socially eminent” woman who co-operated with Commis. sioner Mills in procuring evidence against the clubs. The rumor grows that the drys have launched a care- fully organized campaign of social os- tracism for frequenters of night clubs and for persons suspected of having financial interest in them. Out of all the legal, political and social complications one fact emerges. It was a green Christmas for the flask venders. In department stores, cigar stores, novelty shops and jewelry stores flasks were shoved to the front as the one most alluring Christmas gift. DOG DIES TO SAVE MAN. Veterinarians Make Vain Fight to Save Animal’s Life. CHICAGO, December 25 (#).— Trixie, a police dog which last night saved the life cf her master, died to- day aftor veterinarians, at the frantic appea! of the owner, fought vainly for hours to save her life. Jerry Deroul, a truck driver for a cigar dealer, accompanied by the dog, was held up by two men last night. The dog sprang at one of the men a moment before he fired point-blank at Deroul, and Trixie stopped the bul- let intended for her master. Deroul summoned several veteri- narians into consultation in an effort to save his pet's life. We .E‘xtend Greetings of the Season to Our Friends" E.].MURPHY CO,, Inc.
