THE BEE: OMAHA. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1921. Board Permits Marigold Dance Hall to Reopen ltabbi Colin Casta Deciding Vote Overriding Police Chiefs Order Closing Cabaret For merly Known as Black Cat. The Marigold, formerly the Black Cat, has If en reopened by the Board of Tublic Welfare. It was closed by the police last Monday. Rabbi Frederick Colin, chairman of the Board of Public Welfare, cast the third and deriding vote yester day afternoon to sustain his action in allowing the Marigold cabaret to he repoened Tuesday night after it had been closed Monday night by order of Chief cf Police Ebcr stein. At the close of several hours of spirited discussion, Chairman Cohn put the motion to determine whether he should be fttstained. He was sup. ported by Members Howard Ken nedy and Rev. Edward J. Flanagan. Mrs. E. B. Towl and Dr. Jennie Calfns voted against approving the action of their chairman. "Well, if I must east the deciding vote, I will Vast it for myself," as serted the chairman; as he announced the vote "three to two." Time Extensions Canceled. One of the actions of the board was the adoption of a motion re queuing Mayor Smith to discontinue extensions of time beyond 12:30 a. m. for public dance halls. "It has been the custom of the mayor's office to allow extensions to 1:30 or 2 a. in. Mayor Smith, who was present, announced that he would be pleased to discontinue the practice and forth with canceled any extensions of time which might have been in force yesterday. Rabbi Cohn announced that he did not believe Police Judge Charles Foster had any authority to order the Marigold or any other pubic dance closed; that the authority to close or reopen rested in the Welfare board. cnict of Police Lberstein stated that he closed the Marigold on or der of the police court judge and he added that the police will close any places in the interest of public welfare, "when the situation gets be yond the Welfare 'board." , Mrs. E. W. Johnson, dance lull inspector, stated that women of a certain class generally frequented this and other dance halls and she admitted the difficulty of excluding women merely on suspicion of theif characters. "Women of this class arc admitted into any public place and even into a church," said Rabbi Cohn. "These women are here and they have not been reformed and they should be allowed to dance. Suppose we close all of the public places, what will be come of them?" Ringer Afaimt Marigold. Police Commissioner Ringer said he believed that places like the Man sold should be closed and he also be licved that. "the stamp of approval by the welfare board, m the form of dance permits, should stand for something." . "I think we should take the word of our police commissioner in a mat ter of this kind," said Dr. Callfas. "We are taking everybody's word, but none exclusiveIy,"rctorted Chair man Cohn. But we should do the best we can to prevent a new crop of un desirables. "I don't like to have a place in Omaha, known as a questionable resort and yet operated under sanc tion of law. said Mayor bmith. Superintendent O. M. Adams, of the Welfare board said that a re port from Inspector H. L. Bridwell stated that during the night of De cember 31 he excluded 10 intoxi cated persons from the Marigold, which information was received With a smile and several expressions that the same might have been true of other places here on New Year's eve. "If I were to criticize your action, Rabbi Cohn," said Dr. Callfas, "it would be for such hasty action in reopening the Mariaold without con sulting this board," whereupon the rabhi explained his Masons as stated. The Marieold is operating on a week-to-week permit basis. The dance hall license for the year is being held in abeyance by the Wel fare board, pending the removal of an adjacent bathhouse this month.
