WIRELESS IN HOTELS.
LICENSES REFUSED.
INDUCEMENT TO DRINKING.
A. and N.Z. LONDON. March 13. Nottingham publicans have been refused licenses to instal "listening in" receiving sets, on the ground that more people would be induced to come to public houses and drink. Canon Field, .1 local clergyman, pleaded that such an extension of -wireless telephony would be immoral. The Daily Express protests that, the Church is opposing a movement intended to make public houses more decently attractive, and the Nottingham decision interferes with reasonable liberty of the subject and is thoroughly bad.
