privat rccld-nre. That's nobody's business. "If skufakiss cares to examine the law he w-Ml find that it applies only relationship of man and woman constituting a public nuisance or couples living as man and wife who are not married. If a man takes a woman to a lintel it is not a violation of Isw unless they are disorderly or become a public nuisance. If the state lecislature would pass an a-t making it a violation of the law for a man and woman to r. gister under false names at a hotel then we. would have something to work with. Skufakiss charges that immoral conditions exist at tichotels. We must depend on the vig 1-ati'-e of the pulioe and the hotel proprietors to fia-ht that. "I think Skufakiss is making political thunder out of thin stuff. He hasn't shown me one shred of evidence to support his charges.
