Opposed to High License.

Mr.. Louis Schale, whose name was errone-
onsly stated rs Shandy in yesterdays STAR, ap-
peared before the House District committee
yesterday when the District Commissioners
and others gave their views to the committee
respecting the pending bills providing for
high license III the District and for limiting the
number OF licensed saloons in the District to
400. Mr.. Schade chiefly opposed the license
bill on account Of the two-thirtis signcr clause
maintaining that with il there could not be a
hundred licenses issued and the best places
would be closed up. The fines and penalties
provided b. the bill were so severe as to be
impracticable. NJ. Schadc urged that il would
be best TO strike out all the bin except section
I6, which gave the Commissioners full prohib-
itory power. The 300 license would he said
merely monopolize the business in favor of
whisky. the small beer tavern could not pay
that amount. and that hardly would be in favor
of true temperance. He thought that the
present status OF tine law, which gives the Com
missioners prohibito-y power in refusing and
granting license, should secure ali that is
wanted The new bill If passed, he said, would
only compiicate matters and cause a great deal
more trouble to the Commissioner
