POOL TABLE LICENSE FEES
Saloon Keepers Who Paid Will Not
Get Them Back.
Neither May They Use the Tables,
According to the Ruling of
the Excise Board.

A good many saloon-keepers inn the city
have been taught by experience the value
OF Davy Crockett's maxim, BE sure you're
right, then go ahead.''
These men have procured a license OF the
assessor TO run pool table In their places,
and now find that under ruling of the ex-
else board they will not be permitted to
employ the table, and that there arc no pro-
visions of law under which they can obtain
a refund of the license fee.
Many saloor-kecpers under former excise
boards were permitted to keep a pool table
in a room adjoining the bar, the two being
separated by a lattice partition only.
The present excise board cha nged this regu.
lation and required the partition to be more
substantial, the regulation providing that
there shall be a solid wall of separation,
and that there shall be no door of communi-
cation between the rear of the bar, as for
merly.
Either through misinformation or by viii
full disregard of the requirement, the saloon
keepers applied for the pool license with
out consulting the excise board, and they
now find that they will have to depend upon
getting bills of relief through Congress in
order 10 obtain a restoration of the fees. :
The board of excise has granted but few
tion with poolrooms. and in each case the
applicant has been required TO observe the
rule as TO partitions

Smooth Swindler Using This Paper's
Name to Further His Schemes.

A man who gives his name as E. W.
Meyers is operating among the unsus-

connection with the Washington Times.
There is no such person in anyway con-

is retired brigadier general OF the army

Meyers told him that he had been robbed
and on the statement that he was a member
of The Times staff the gentleman promptly
advanced him a loan. Needless to say it
has not been returned.

 EAST HAMPTON.

Harold, the six-year-old son of Fred B. Hall, was badly stung by hornets the other day. He had climbed an apple tree to investigate a birds nest, and discovered a large nest of back hornets, which swarmed around his head and arms. His father hearing his cries ran to the tree, at the same time telling the boy to jump. But the little fellow was afraid, he being about twelve feet from the ground. The next day the boys grandfather, E. G. Cone, saw the little fellow running madly, waving his arms and crying, "Oh, grandpa, they're after me again." But this time it proved to be only one hornet.
