Woodward Hearing
Off Until Monday
—Enough developed yesterday af
ternoon at the hearing of the Wood
ward nominating petition mandamus
proceeding before Judge McCarrell
adjourned it until next Monday to
show that W. J. Benham, the Vare
leader of the Thirty-eighth ward,
bad supervised preparation of both
Republican and Democratic sena
torial nominating papers for George
Woodward, chauffeur, as a candidate
to "camouflage" Dr. George Wood
ward, reformer and whose candidacy
is feared by Senator Owen Jenkins,
the Vare candidate for renomlna
tion. The hearing was an interesting
one because of the attempt of coun
sel for Dr. Woodward to intervene,
which he did without being given
permission. The crux of the case is
whether the Vare forces tiled enough
papers to make the chauffeur a
bonaflde candidate on the Republi
can ticket. Their Democratic pap
per fell short. It is claimed at the
State Department that they did not
have enough Republican signers.
The Vare men claim they riled
enough. The Attorney General's De
partment says that in the final day's
rush papers might have been over
looked.

LONDON CURFEW
PRODUCES GLOOM
Nowhere to Go But Bed,
Noifiing Else to Do
After 10.30
London. —London olways took
its pleasures sadly, but now it takes
them early and has pleanty of time
before rising to consider what it has
seen and done. Curfew came to the
Kritish capital last week, and with
it arrived a reform in the night life
of the city that surpassed in its
scope all the previous changes made
necessary by war - conditions, especi
ally the raids by German "aviators.
One had become quite accustomed
to the practical disappearance of all
people and traffic from the darkened
streets after midnight, but on Mon
day night the faithful buses ceased
to roll; the taxi drivers, who are be
coming more impossible every day
by reason of thglr refusal after a'
certain hour to take a passenger ex
cept in the direction where their ve
hicles are garaged for the night also
disappeared; the few hotels and res
taurants which formerly served as
late as 12:30 had shooed their
guests out at 9:30 or thereabouts,
for after that hour it is now prohib
ited to serve hot meals; the theatres
had discharged their audiences
promptly at 10:30, and all these
thousands of people had swarmed
the streets for a few moments, de
scended through the entrances of*
the Underground, the Metropolitan
and the tubes and dispersed to their
homes, leaving the centre of the
city as a "bobby" standing in Pic
cadily Circus said, quoting reminis
cently, "To darkness and to me."
Probabl ythe reform that was
rrtost felt by the majority of people
was the abolition supper. This mid
night meal has always been dear to
Londoner's heart. In pre-war days
it was -most frequently the connect
ing link between the theatre party
and the "going-on-party." An ev
ening's amusement generally began
with the dinner, which was never a
hurried function, then trailed along
to the theatre, where at least the
last act and sometimes the second
act was seen, and then came supper,
a lively hour and a half or two
hours, to be followed by, "Well, it's
time to be going on now to Jack's or
Molly's, as the case might be, for
they're having a top hole dance at
their flat tonight."
This custom disappeared with the
advent of curfew, for it Is difficult to
keep one's spirits up for a night's
entertainment without the aid of
cafes and restaurants, which now
close at 9:30, and no self-respecting
night party could begin before 1 A.
M. Besides what spirits could sur
vive the depressing effects of a pe
riod of semi-darkness, for one of the
new regulations provides that all
lights shall be extinguished after 10
o'clock in all places where food or
drink Is served. Therefore it is no
longer possible to linger at your ta
ble after you have finished your din
ner.
On Monday night the restaurants
and the big hotels that had never
had such an experience before were
dark, as were the corridors and lob
bies in which guests sat often until
long after midnight sipping coffee.
At the Savoy, which has been one
of the favorite supping resorts for
years, everything was shut—restau
rant, cafe, provision bar and smok
ing room. A few people sat around
in the gloomy reception lobby, but
soon went off to bed. Guests who
had been to the theatres, some of
whom had not realized the changed
conditions, had quite a shock when
they arrive dat the hotel to find the
atmosphere of gloom that prevail
ed.
So effective have the new regula
tions been in sending people home
earlier that the managements of the
underground systems are already
considering the reduction in the
number of trains run after 11
o'clock. This is one of the reforms
hoped to be made possible, as the
saving in light and power would be
an important item in the economy
of fuel supply, to which the early
closing of theatres and all places of
refreshment and amusement will al
so contribute.
There is one oasis in this desert
of respectability and repose to
which the roystering spirit may re
sort even as late as midnight This
is to be found- in the dreary, de
pressing refreshment bars at rail
way stations. Here it will he possi
ble to procure cups of tea and dry
ginger ale. Soggy cakes and heavy
cold sausage sandwiches may also
be procured. Here the gay dogs
may keep up their revels until the
last taxi disappears at the stroke of
12.
But where are the oysters and the
wine of yesteryear ?
