The name of every known saloonkeeper
who failed yesterday to file an application
for the renewal OF his license has been
given to the police department., with instruc-
tloDs TO see that no infraction OF the law
is permitted.
All sucn proprietors are this morning
without authority to continue I'm the busi-
ness, and "A single sale at any one of the
establishments Will subject the offender 10
arrest.
Tine effect of the neglect to procure a
license goes even farther, as, under a rulins
OF the excise board, eacn saloonkeeper who
failed To deposit mis- application and Zee by
3 O'Clock yesterday, the hour OF closing,
Will be required TO procure the assent OF
the residents adjacent TO his place oil busi-
ness and be i'll all other respects subjected
to the rules governing new places.
The place of business OF each of such
delinqaents will also have to he piacarded
and remain closed until action can be
taken upon the application that may be
filed hereafter.
1t was stated last evening that some of
the most prominent saloons in town have
failed to deposit the fee, one big estabisih-
ment being located On Pennsylvania avenue.
The total number of applications filed
with the board at the hour of closing yes
terday was: Retail, $50; wholesale, los.
The total revenue to be derived from these
applications, in the event that all SHAH
be approved, is 2Tl 900.
HOW THE LIST COMPAR
The aggregate OF applications filed at
the close OF pdsiness on November / OF last
year was: Retail $50; wholesale, l12,
showing by comparison decrease this year
i'll each class.
A total uf four clubs only out of fourteen
in the District have applied for license for
the ensuing year. The Tour are: Plate Print
ers Club, brigntwoud Driving Park German
American Pleasure Club, and the Buena
Vista.
Some of the larger and more Influential
organiza tons including the Army and
Navy, are among the clubs that declined
to apply. II is not understood that these
ten expect to discontinue The dispensing
of liquors, and the Inference is that some
of them at least expect TO contest the
right of the authorities TO close them up
for selling without license.
Mrs. L. L. Briggs has submitted Ia the
Commissioners as the basis of her appeal
from the building inspector, brief in
which she declares that the regulations do
not mention lattice work in the prohibition
clause, but that. on the contrary, the word
ing Us that no ''solid walr' of certain di-
mensions shall be constructed beyond
certain height, To become an obstruction,
as described.
The building inspectors Interpretation
OF the regulation is that nothing shall be
erected of more than forty-two inches in
height on the building line ana adjoining
other property.

dwellings, Nos. 81 TO 80 Quincy street,
$4,000; j. w Gregg, rear additionto l116
First street, $1,000.
1t is very apparent that the site selected
recently for the Smith crematory plant,
which the Commissioners approved, has
for some reason fallen into disfagor, and
the probability is that another VIII be
chosen.
This is fair inference from the circum-
stances that after announcing their ap-
proval of the selection. and notifying the
Smith people that the application for per
nit to construct would have 10 be signed
in person by Mr.. warfield, two conferences
were held between the latter gentlenianand
the Commissioners and the application is
still unsigned.
Mr. Warfield declined to give his reasons
for the delay, and the Commissioners were
decidedly reticent and on-communicative
when apDrQaChpt uDOn the SuDiect
The consensus of opinion is that Secretary
Herbert's objections are still on file.
