Despite the fact that James A. Clarke withdrew from all connection with the Monarch Gardens and1 Dreamland hall early in February,1 published the fact and notified the j Board of Public Welfare of his with- j drawal, the license was permitted to | continue to run in the name of Jones & Clarke. Upon whose part was this an oversight? The Monarch Gardens cabaret, which was very popular among that class of people who love the glare of the bright lights and what is called { ‘high life,” was brought into llie lime- ! light by a trhgedy which occurred Ihere last week and for which the management was in no way respon sible. A woman by the name of Mrs. Weddlngton was shot by a young man with whom she had been living and who then committed suicide. The, startling revelation (?) was then made] lhat, this cabaret was frequented by I both races, the white people being in if the majority, and that therefore being 'j “a menace to public morals” ought to y be closed. All these facts were known !: to the authorities, under whose license. * i? and surveillance it. was operated, be s fore this tragedy occurred. If it be a menace since the tragedy, ;; it was a menace when it was being : operated under the sanction and su- J pervislon of the authorities. If it was J: not a menace then, it is not a menace ; now. Evidently “there is something • rotten in the state of Denmark.” i --;J SOUTH DAKOTA VISITOR FA VORA BL Y I MPRESSED WITH CITY OF OMAHA j; William Smith, a successful busi-i j; ness man of Pierre, S.
