NIGHT CLUBS
BISHOP’S DENUNCIATION. . REMEDIAL MEASURES WANTED. DIFFICULTIES OF DETECTION. BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COP YRIGIIT. (Received Jan. >2B, 9.25 a.m.) LONDON, Jau. 27. “The hunting ground.s for sharks and loose women, snares to trap the unwary, resorts of every kind of swindler and harpy,” thus the Bishop of London stigmatised London’s night e.lubs, when introducing a. deputation to the Home Secretary asking for remedial measures.
Sir W. Joynson Hicks saiil he was just as anxious to remove this horrible excrescence on London’s life, hut did not intend embarking’ on an anti-joy crusade so long as night danee clubs were properly conducted. He intended asking for powers to euable the police to openly enter. He did not like asking young constables to go as guests. England did not like spies. Some clubs were equipped with electric bells, which ring in every room and automatically close the doors when the police alarm is raised, enabling every drink to be removed before they are able to force an entry. —Sydney Sun Cables.
