DECIDING THE LIQUOR CASE.
Judge Miller Disposes Of 1t This Aftcr
noon.

Judge Miller Disposes Of It This Aftcr-
Judge Miller began in the Police Court late
this afternoon the delivery of his decision in
the Bush liquor case.
In disposing Of the case the judge COM
mended counsel on both sides for their clear
presentation Of the facts in the case as we'll Is
the law.
The court first referred to the act of 1871, in
which among other business licensed was the
liquor traffic. That act defined Wholesale and re-
tail dealers and prescribed the license fee to be
paid. In addition to the regulations prescribed
for other dealers the act prescribed certain re-
quirements Of the liquor license applicants
not prescribed for other trades licensed
by the act In addition to the
act of 1871 the power Of the board of metropol-
itan police devolved upon them and they were
empowered to make certain regulations, which
they did. The license in the Bush case was
granted under the act Of 1871.
The court referred TO the decision of the
court in the Manion case, in which the powers
OF the Commissioners were defined, and said
he had defined the basis for the issuance Of the
license to Bush.
Following this the court referred to the de-
cision In the Nau case. in which the chief
Justice In his decision incidentally remarked that
this was an act for revenue. The penalty in
that case was for not paying the revenue. The
decision was not that the act was entirely a
revenue act and outside the pale Of police
power but the act was enforceable only as
revenue act on account Of the penalty clause.
The courts Of the country from the United
States Supreme Court down had held that the
business was within the pale Of police control.
The license, it seemed, could undoubtedly
be repealed by the legislative power That was
clearly indicated in the body of the
license; and the icensee knew that when
foHa
were taken out with the knowledge that they
could be revoked when directed by legislative
power. No officer could make a contract Of
this kind which could not be afterward re-
voked. The liquor licenses issued here were
like those issued elsewhere in the states.
The judge was still delivering his decision
when The STARS report closed. but it is evi-
dent that it is against the liquor dealers.

The Filtration Of Water.

One Of the papers read at the meeting Of the
Biological Society Saturday evening in the
hall Of the Cosmos Club was an interesting dis.
cussion of the bacteriology Of Potomac water
by DR.. Theobald Smith Of the Agricultural De-
partment- The paper had special reference to
the filtration of water for the purpose of remov.
ing disease germs and the speaker said that a
large percentage of the bacilli could be removed
from water by ordinary filtration. The sand
filter was pronounced the most effective for re-
moving germs and vegetable matter, but in
water like that Of the Potomac, which carried a
large amount of fine sediment in suspension. these
filters were likely to become clogged in Q short
time.
Settling basins were also discussed and the
lecturer stated that in reservoirs where the
water was allowed to stand for considerable
length Of time the germs of disease died out
No especial system of fltering was recon.
mended. but the question of methods to be pur-
sued was one which was worthy Of the most
patient study and scientific investigation.

Ex-Policeman Loome Charged with Selling
Liquor without . License

Ex-Policeman Loome CHARGED With Selline
Liquor Without . License.
Charles Loome was member Of the metro
politan police force some months ago, but
owing to unfortunate circumstances he severed
his connection with the force and opened a
dairy lunch room at No. $40 10th street north
west For long time he confined his business
to milk and pastry and then he furnished more
solid food. His customers we're not satisfied
with solids. SO it is alleged by the police, and
they wanted liquids With which to make their
eating more enjoyable. Something stronger
than water was wanted. and Loome being of
an accommodating disposition got in the nee
essary stock of intoxicants and had . colored
boy to look after that part Of the business.
This business, however. was conducted in a
back room. according to the informa-
ton of the police, and Satur-
day afternoon about 5 O'Clock when
Sergt Moore and Oficers Garraway and Kill
martin went there they found good supply Of
liquors, which they took to the station As evil
dsnce. and the proprietor being unable to give
bail was locked up.
This morning he was taken to the Police
Court, where his counsel, Mr.. Fulton, demanded
e jury trial.
Judge Kimball fixed the bond at 81 900 and
the case was continued.
The officers will probably file another charge
against the defendant charging violation of
the same law on another day.
