The STAR has already referred to the opinion
of Attorney Riddle relative to the liability Of

skill and care on the part of the
railroad in putting in the cable road on 7th
street. 1t win be remembered at the time Of
rendering the opinion he recommended the
introduction OF q clause extending their liability
to injuries caused by other means than the
excavations. The new permit will be made
out today and submitted to President Hurt for
his signature.
NO LIQUOR LICENSES FOR WOMEN.
Mr.. Frank p MadIgan called upon the Com
missioners today in the interest Of the women
who now hold retail liquor licenses. The object
of his call was to learn if the Com
missioners were determined to carry out
governing the sale of liquor, which applied to
the granting of liquor licenses to women.
He called the Commissioners attention to the
fact that licenses now held by women were left
them by their husbands. Many Of these places
he said were prominent restaurants con-
Quoted in the best manner, and he thought
it shame to deprive the women of a
livelihood. Commissioner Hine said that
the whole question had been carefully
considered pro and con and it was the unani-
nous opinion Of the board that liquor licenses
should not be issued to women, and they pro-
posed to live up to it.
THE WASHINGTON NAVY YARp.
Recently Capt B. W. Meade commandant OF
the Washington navy yard, in q letter to tbs
Commissioners requested a general permit to
make such repairs to the steam water and
sewer pipes connected with the navy yard
system. but located outside the yard. as might
from time to time be required. Capt Lusk in
his report upon the subject says that he does
not think a permit should be granted, as it ID
not desirable. He recommends that Capt

may make for special permits will be granted
without delay. The Commissioners have sp-
proved the Recommendation and today wrote Q
