THAT TRANSFER STATION.
The Secretary Of the Treasury Ap-
proves q Project.

The Secretary of the Treasury Ap-
proves a Project.
The long pending question of a transfer
station at the New York avenue junction
of the Washington and Georgetown rail-
road has at last reached a point where its
speedy settlement seems assured. Appli-
cation was recently made by the president
Of the company to the Secretary Of the
Treasury for permission to use a portion
of the sidewalk on the west side Of 18th
street. opposite G street, for the erection of
a covered station for the accommodation of
passengers desiring to transfer at that
point. The application was accompanied by
plans Of the proposed station. These plans
fifty feet long, twenty feet deep and eight
feet high, eQui-distant from the northeast
corner of the Treasury building and the
southeast corner of Pennsylvania avenue
1t is to be built out from the fence in such
a manner as to afford shelter to it's occu-
pants. without in any way impeding the
thoroughfare. The roof is supported by
ornamental pillars, and the only side closed
In Is the rear end against the fence. The
plan was approved by the supervising
architect of the treasury, and then the ap-
plication for the erection of the structure
was approved by the Secretary of the
Treasury, subject. however, to the approval
of the District Commissioners AS they are
committed to the project, provided the Sec
rotary of the Treasury does not object, it
10 reasonable to assume that the matter Is
practically settled.

them to take from the house her brother
in-law. Walter Fink. whom she thought
was under the influence of liquor. He had
been drinking and Mrs. Fink's husband
was not at home, and she thought the police
had better care for him during the night.
She did not want him about the house, as
she feared there would be trouble. The
patrol wagon was sent for and the young
man was taken in charge by the officers.
He was in terrible condition. partly due
to the use of whisky and partly from the
effects of morphine.

from the house. This is the last time you
will see me alive"
Seeing the young man was suffering from
the effects Of the morphine which he said
he had taken. the officers conveyed him to
the Emergency Hospital instead of to the
police station. There the physicians saw
that the unfortunate man could not recover
but they did all in their power to relieve

PRESCRIPTIONS NECESSARY
To Obtain Intoxicating Drinks From Drug
gists and Apothecaries
Mr.. Thomas Says Druggists Cannot
Take Out Wholesale Licenses
The Law ON the Subject.

The attorney for the District holds in an
opinion rendered to the Commissioners to-
day that druggists and apothecaries are
forbidden by section IL of the new license
law to sell intoxicating liquors except upon
the prescription of physician, and that
they are not permitted to take out a whole
sale license under the Sth section of the
act. above referred to.
This opinion was called for by the Com
missioners several days ago.
Mr.. Thomas says. speaking Of the law on
the subject:
The language Of this section, 1t seems to
me. excludes the idea that druggists are en-
titled to take out licenses under section of
said act. Druggists are authorized by the
18th section of the act to sell Intoxicating
liquors for medical purposes. but upon no
other condition. They are required to keep
a record of their sales of liquor specifying
the prices obtained. and this record, 1t is
declared. shall be at all times open to the
inspection Of the excise board
such thing is not required Of whole
sale or retail dealers licensed under the
eighth section of the act. thus showing con-
clusfvely that II was the intention of Con-
gress to restrict druggists in the sale Of in
toxicating liquors to such sales as shall be
any doubt on this point 1t would be re-
moved by the language in the same Sec
ton, and any failure to comply with the
provisions of this section shall render such
druggist or apothecary SO failing, liable to
the same penalties as II he had sold in
toxicating liquors without a license
For these reasons my opinion Is that
druggists and apothecaries are forbidden by
section eleven of the act Of Congress APP
proved March 3. 1893, to sell Intoxicating
liquors except upon the prescription of a
physician, and that they are not permitted
to take out a WHOLESALE license under the
eighth section Of the act, and SO advise
you"

TENLEYT0WN CITIZENS.

to Their Needs.
The wants Of Tenleytown are numerous
and frequent. So much so that her citi-
zens say they will not rest until the most
important have been fulfilled. Last night
large attendance assembled in the town
hall and in regular meeting discussed the
needs Of the place with a view Of bringing
them more forcibly to the eyes of the au-
thorities Of the District with the hope of
securing favorable legislation. Tenleytown

quent robberies have of late annoyed the
Tenleytowners. Many Of them could have
been prevented, they say. had the town
been provided with sufficient number of
policemen. There are but a few officers in
all the county round and their time is
mostly taken up in other sections Of the
District. They seldom stay in Tenleytown
proper. The people therefore want in
creased police facilities. DR.. Chappell

Chairman McCobb and other prominent
citizens. DIR. f. W. Slaymaker discussed
various needs. mostly of a sanitary nature.
The place could not much longer do with

was becoming too thickly settled. Some
thing must be done or the health of the
place would become affected. Committees
were appointed to act on many of the SUBJ

the representatives Of the citizens on the
police question.

The Man In q Fraud.

A man, who gave his name as Mcdonald
and said that he is connected with The
Star, called on a well-known business man
the other day and solicited subscription
for an institution which he called the repor-
ters home. AS there is no one of that name
connected with The Star. and as the insti-
tuition is unknown. 1t is safe to say that the
man Is fraud.

POLICE FINANCES.
Chief Clerk Sylvester Makes an Inter-
estfng Report Yesterday.

Chief Clerk Sylvester Of the police de-
partment has submitted his annual report
TO Maj Moore. In his report he says:
In 1854 the police force numbered 247
members, while In 1893 the full complement
was 43S men, As a consequence there was
corresponding increase in the clerical
requirements. This was especially evil
dsnced in the additional cases coming be-
fore the trial board, their number in 1884
being %. and 162 in the year 1893. For some
years the only assistant allowed me by
law stenographer, was enabled to divide
his duties, transacting. in addition to his
shorthand work, the full portion that
would devolve upon a clerk, but in late
years the taking of testimony, and writing
out OF the same, besides other demands of
a IKE nature, have required his full time
and attention. As result the clerical la
Dor at headquarters have been transacted
by myself and three policemen, detailed
from precinct duty for that purpose
