POOL LICENSES FORFEITED
SaloonkeeperS Failing to Follow Di-
rections Can't Use Them.
Board to Examine Applications for
PositiOnsas Physicia ms OF the Poor
Organizes by Electing Officers.

SaloOn-keepers who took out licenses for
pool tables with the expectation that they
would be permitted to run a poolroom in
! conjunction with the bar have come to
grief.
The present excise board adopted a
rule, soon after it took charge, refusing per-
mission for such a combination The regu-
lauon prescribed that the poolroom shall be
! separated from the bar by a solid parti-
ton, without q door Of communication at
the rear of the barroom, as had been the
previous custom.
Such saloon-keepers as have invested in
| pool license without consulting the excise
board now find that they are prohibited
from prosecuting the business the license
calls for, and at the same time are unable
to get a refund of the money. 1t will re-
quire an act of Congress to get the fees out
of the Treasury.
In accordance with the provisions of
section of an act of Congress for the
appointment Of a sealer and an assistant
sealer of weights and measures, and ap-
plying to the disposition of the office fees,
the Commissioners yesterday adopted an
order, as follows:
''The seaIer and assistant sealer of
weights and measures of the District shall.
on the first day of each calendar month, /,
| deposit with the collector of taxes, the
| gross amount of fees received by them
respectively, during the preceding month,
accompanied by sworn statement show
| ing the source of each fee and the character
| of the inspection or service for which it was
| charged"
The board appointed for the examina-
| tion of applicants for appointment as
| physicians to the poor has organized by
the election of BriW. P. Carr, president,
and j. Ramsey hewitt, secretary.
DR.. Carr will prepare questions on an

cology and obstetrics, DIR. hewitt on ma
| terra Inedica, therapeutics, hygiene. and
