BUTLER’S POLICE CAREER DOOMED BY HOTEL RAIDS Refuses to Heed Request of Mayor Licenses Be Reissued. Editor's Note—This is the twentysixth installment, of General Butlers story of Ills work as head of Philadelphia police and his dismissal early this year. The articles will appear daily. The Times owns exclusive rights to the articles In this territory. By Smedley I). Butler While the mayor was thus bunking jno and the people, activity which was to lead to my dismissal was In progress. It was impartial law enforcement, a lack of differentiation between the cheap saloons that violated the laws end huge hotels that violated the same laws, often more openly, defiantly and brazenly, that brought about my dismissal. The Hotel Walton case again came up. Dec. 1 I wrote to the mayor: "I have the honor to return herewith application of H. C. Crowhurst, assistant manager, Hotel Walton, for license to conduct a public dance hall or ballroom in the Hotel Walton dining room. “It is recommended that this license be refused by reason of the fact that the applicant, Mr. H. C. Crowhurst, is the same party who permitted irregularities to continue at the Hotel Walton a previous license.” Writes Mayor Again Hater a message came from the mayor’s office to approve the issuance of a license. I then wrote the mayor on Dec. 14, 1925: “I am returning herewith application of Eugene C. Miller, manager of the Hotel Walton, for license to conduct public dance hall or ballroom in the Hotel Walton, Sagamore room, which has been disapproved by the superintendent of police and the captain of the Sixth police district. “Mr. Miller is of the same management whose application for a dance license was disapproved on Dec. 1, for the reason that this same management permitted irregularities of such a serious nature as to require this office to recommend to the mayor on Dec. 30, 1924, that the license then held be revoked. ‘‘This license was not revoked and irregularities again occurring, about April 13, 1925, I personally requested you to take action and the

Yum! Yum! He’s an Epicure

The Marquis de KeveiPjere, member of the Interallied Club of Paris, demonstrated the correct preparation of bouillabaJne, a dish that requires twelve hours of constant watcliing while being cooked. His demonstration was watched by gourmands from all over France, and news of it cabled to America. hotel management subsequently voluntarily discontinued dancing. "In view of the above circumstances, T cannot approve the Issuance of license.” A fe\v days later I wrote again to the mayor, saying the police would approve no license so long as the old management had anything to do with the place. Step No. 2 That was step number one. Step .number two also involved a hotel — Hhe Bellevue Stratford. This fashionable hostelry was raided by police at 1 a. m.. Nov. 12. Nov. 16, I wrote the mayor recommending that the dance license be revoked, stating that there had been complaints of drunkenness at this hotel, that “there had been the use, If not the sale, of illegal liquor on the premises without any interference on the part of the management.” I told him, too, that when officers had been sent to investigate, “drunken men and girls, were found upon the ball room floor. Drunken men in an unconscious condition were found in a room, one of whom had to be sent to the hospital to he revived. In the checkrooms were found over fifty bottles which had been filled with liquor containing alcohol. Upwards of 200 other empty bottles were found in the rest rooms. Persons in an in-

toxicated condition were observed leaving the hotel.” “Nowhere,” 1 wrote, "could we find any employe or house detective interfering with the illegal use of intoxicating alcohol or endeavoring to control the situation... .No one connected with the management assisted in arresting the intoxicated persons, nor did they point out the different rooms or call the attention of the police to whisky flasks profusely scattered all around the f100r.... “This place, we are satisfied, was improperly conducted, and consider the irregularities enumerated sufficient to warrant the revocation of teir dance license.” The evidence in this case was as strong, if not stronger, than in many cases of cases where the mayor acted immediately and withdrew licenses. This was step No. 2. The third step—and out —was the Ritz-Carlton Hotel case. After receiving complaints of drunkenness at the Ritz-Carlton police raided a private party being given .there liec. 3. In a letter to the mayor, Dec. 7, 1 urged revocation of the dance license held by this hotel, saying: "Affidavits have been made that intoxicated persons were going from the ballroom to Room 201, where a Ritz-Carlton waiter was in attendance serving drinks to the guests. "The management knew of conditions existing in Rooms 201-202, but apparently made no effort to regulate the conduct of the hotel or the dance in the ballroom with regard to intoxicating liquor upon this occasion. “There is no question as to the illegal use of liquor in rooms used by guests attending the dance given.”

The violations in this case were so brazen that I decided to institute padlock proceedings against the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. I Immediately went to talk it over with the mayor. What took place there was important. (Copyright. 1926, by The Bell Syndicate, Inc.) Tomorrow: The mayor's refusal to lake padlock proceedings against a big hotel goads Butler to action.
