THEATER TO BE KEPT DRY

Special Bill For Barroom Vetoed by New York Goveenoil Albany, N. Y„ May 25.—The Alt bill, designed to permit the sale of liquor in the New theater in New York city, has been vetoed by Governor Hughes. The bill amended the liquor tax law by permitting traffic in liquors within 200 feet of a private school with the consent of the person or corporation using the building for that purpose. The governor says that if proprietors of private schools may be permitted to allow this area to be encroached upon, it is difficult to see why the public authorities should not have the same privilege with regard to public school.
