DISTRICT GOVERNMEN Mt.
L1oUoR LICENSES FOR POOL ROOMS

LIQUOR LICENSES FOR POOL ROOMS.
Although the Commissioners have for time
suspended action on liquor licenses they are
daily besieged by persons whose applications for
liceuses have been rejected and by attorneys
who file petitions and arguments for the favor
able reconsideration of such rejected applica-
tons. Some of the arguments are interesting.
For instance. Mr.. Leon Tobrner, as attorney
for saloon in one of the pool rooms at Monte
Carlo, raises the following question, and If the
Commissioners decide it be well taken their de-
cision will be hailed with joy by saloon keepers
at Monte Carlo-allowng pool selling on tho
premises. An application was rejected by the
Commissioners because gambling had been al
lowed on the premises. Mr. Tobriner makes
the point that under the rulings of the court
of appeals of Maryland and the Police Court of
this District pool selling has been held not to
April 1885, the making Of pools is leghlized in
that portion OF the District not covered by the
cities Of Washington and Georgetown.

The Donnelly License Case POSTPONED.

This morning in the Police Court when the
case of Jas. D. Donnelly, charged with being
an unlicensed liquor dealer, was called for trial
MIR. Harry E. Davis, ex-assistant attorney for
the District, entered his appearance as counsel
and asked the court for continuance until
Friday of next week.
MIR. Dumont declined to consent to the con-
tinuance asked for.
Mr.. Davis told Of Mr.. Donnelly's pending ap-
plication that was awaiting the decision of the
Commissioners. He referred to the action of
the Commissioners and spoke of some of their
rulings as being arbitrary ones. He said he
had been employed by persons representing
large part of the commercial business of the
city to see whether the Commissioners were
going to adhere to their arbitrary rulings or
whether they were going to do what the law
requires them to do.
Judge Miller said that nothing would be lost
by granting continuance. The judge thought
1t better to wait awhile and have things
Strengthened out than to go ahead and have
case after case taken up ON appeal and never
again be heard of.
The court thereupon granted the continu-
ance requested.
