SALOONS In THE SUBURBS
Campaign Against Them Started by
the Anti-Liquor League
Lawyer Shoemaker Declares That
Direct Request of a Senator.

A rousing, red-hot campaign against the
liquor traffic in Tennallytown was in
augurated under the auspices OF the Anti
Saloon League at meeting held yesterday
afternoon in the Mount Tabor Baptist
Church. 1t was the first of a series OF
indoor and open-air meetings which will be
held in the near future in this suburb, and
every effort viii be made to convince the
members of the excise board that the
presence OF the saloon has an evil effect
upon the morals OF the neighborhood.
Every property-owner and resident in
the whole section viii be personally inter-
viewed, petitions circulated, and every
means tried TO prevent the renewal of
license to any Tennalleytown saloon keeper
in the fall
The meeting was called TO order by J. S.
Blackford, the chairman of the Anti-Saloon
League. Committee on Mass-meeting A
NJ. Garfield, chief of the Good Templars'
order in Washington, was the first speaker.
He urged that all persons of whatever creed
and belief, all opposed to intemperance.
should join in the movement to crush the
head of the serpent which has its fangs
stuck deep into the heart of the people
The urgent need of distributing broadcast
all kinds of temperance literature was
advocated 10y Prof II G. Stewart and the
league decided to adopt his suggestions
The address of the day was delivered by
Lawyer A. Shoemaker, the Leagues at
toruey. The history of the Teunallyto wn
saloon was reviewed and its efforts to
secure license stated. 1t was his belief
that this place was licensed without war
rant OF law, aud that the application was
not made in connection with letters showing
n ia oh blpp rt
owners, as is required by law. Three sep
arate fights were made to obtain the
license, two OF them being successful The
excise board held the matter under con-
sideration for seven months, and then
two members of the board, taking advan-
tage of the absence from the city of the
third member, who was averSe to grant
ing the permit, gave the license
Attorney Shoemaker holds that undue
influence was used and that Christian
Heurjch and large property owner near
TennallytoWn by their united efforts in
some way induced the two members of the
board TO consider the affair favorably
He showed how the league had led the
way TO victory III the temperance fight at
Anacostia. Brightwood had been deemed
good place for work and in the contest
there there was every Indication of q victory
AT the last moment the board granted
the license.
In order to Seek a solution of this. he had
Investigated and found 4 letter from a
United States Senator which seemed to
have settled the matter. This statesman
had said in this epistle that he often drove
out the Brightwood road aud he wanted
the saloon 10 remain. There it is to-day
at the intersection of Fourteenth street
aud Seventh street roads.
The audience was dismissed with the
benediction by the Rev G. w Mccullough.
pastor OF Mt. Tabor BaptjstChurch. Several
other meetings OF like character viii be
held at Tennalytown in the near future.
