The Daily Move I'm an Exciting md
Interesting Game.
Contractor Warfield, armed with three
propositions of the Smith, Brown and Dixon
crematories, respectively, appeared before
the Commissioners this afternoon and ask
ed the latter to designate what system or
systems they would approve. in order that
he could proceed with the building The
propositions were all signed by the repre-
sentatives Of the several concerns, and
st1pulate, among other things, that IL the
system is not satisfactory after three
months trial they will be removed without
cost to the District. Also that they will be
erected free Of cost to the contractor.
1t is about settled that two crematories
will be erected. The first will be the Smith
crematory, for it is this system the Com
missioners insist upon. The contractor will
erect the Brown crematory and the Com
missioners will approve that system, as
they believe, next to the Smith, it answers
all requirements.
The Commissioners agreed upon the re-
quest OF Contractor WarfieId to hold up
their decision until he has had opportunity
to secure site on Rock creek for the cree
ton of the Brown crematory. Mr.. Warlield
stated to reporter of The Star that it
would take at least ninety days to erect
the plants, and that 1t would be at least
some time in January next before they
would be In operation.

but Seemed to- Have Neglected the
News Columns.
From the Milwaukee Sentinel.
The case of the carload of men taken
from Chicago that arrived at Negaunee
Monday morning to take the places of the
striking miners at Ishpeming, contains a
feature that newspaper advertisers would
do well to heed.
AS soon as these men discovered that
there was strike at Ishpeming. they re-
fused to proceed, and left the train at Ne
gaunee, which is within two or three miles
of the former place. They said they were
enticed into setting out for Ishpeming by
advertisements in the Chicago papers ask
ing for laborers to work in the mines there.
They did not know tina. strike was on.
Otherwise, apparently, they would have
refused t. take the train. At Negaunee
they began to be suspicious, and, on in
uuiry, learned that a strike was in prog
ress, whereupon they promptly abandoned
the train.
We call the attention of advertisers to
the incident because it appears to indicate
that the advertisements in a newspaper
are read much more diligently and care
fully than the news. The Chicago papers
had been publishing from day to day ac-
counts of the strike in much larger type
and in a more prominent place than the
advertisements, yet these men, according
to their statement, read the latter and
overlooked the former. The case is one
that ought to encourage people to adyer-
tise their business.

Its License Application Still Hangs
Fire.
There was another hearing this morning
before the excise board over the pending
application of w. T. Whalen for bar
room license at 80 7th street. the site of
the Virginia Hotel 1t was thought that
the opinion Of the attorney for the District
settled the matter, and that the excise
hourd would promptly grant the license.
1t will be recalled that the point at issue
was whether the law relating to the sale
Of liquor prevented hotel within 400 feet
of a school or church from obtaining a
license. Attorney Thomas held, as hereto
new question, however, has been raised,
and until the excise board finally settles it
there will be no final action in the case.
The law, as stated by the attorney, refers
to established hotels and the question
raised is whether the Virginia is an estab-
lished hotel. The applicant and his attor
ney, Mr.. Madgan, claim that it is, and, all
requirements having been complied with.
the excise board has nothing further to do
hut grant the license.
When the case was called this morning
the applicant filed brief, setting forth the
points heretofore made and praying that
the license be granted.
Mr.. Newton Donaldson, who represents
the opposition, argued against the granting
of the application, and Attorney Shoemaker
of the Anti-saloon League asked for a post
pcnement of one week to allow the Anti
SELDOM League to file a brief. No action
was taken, and the case went over for
further consideration.
