The Beck Liquor Case.

The case of Mrs. Christiana Beck, charged
by Samuel w. Deckman. member of the
Anti-saloon League, with selling liquor to
Edward Keegan. minor, was tried in the
Police Court yesterday. Albert Shoemaker,
attorney for the Anti-saloon League, was
present and suggested questions to the
prosecuting attorney. The saloon in which
the alleged violation Of law is charged to
have taken place was established more
than thirty years ago, and yesterday was
the first time that the court had been call
ed upon to hear a charge brought against
the proprietor.
keegan, the boy in the case, is nineteen
years old, but looks as If he had attained
his majority. He told Mrs. Beck's son that
he was twenty-one. and said he kept COM
pany with men and was regarded as being
of age.
A number Of witnesses were examined
and Lawyer Shillington, for the accused,
made strong argument. On the other hand
Mr.. Pugh, for the prosecution, presented
the facts to the jury and made an argu-
ment in which he claimed a conviction
and dwelt upon the object of the law
which, he said. was to protect the young
men and not the saloon keeper.
Judge Miller charged the jury, defining
the law ard referring to the evidence.
The jury retired about 3 o'clock, and
half an hour later asked for further instruc-
lions. Three hours later q verdict Of not
guilty was returned.

The Bridge Repairs.
The Golfer dam contractors have been
considerably interfered with In their work
of making the structure, incident to the re-
pair of the fourth Aqueduct pier, water
tight by the quantity Of debris left about
the pier by those who had charge of the
original construction. Many logs and tim
bers, 1t is said, used in the foundation of
the first Golfer dam were left imbedded
about Then, too, jutting rocks have been
encountered which have conflicted with the
proper setting of the pier The water will
not be wholly pumped out of the present
dam until May, though experimental pump
ings are now taking place. 1t is proposed 20
bring new and more powerful boilers into
play than those now in use.

Mr.. Ross. as president of the board Of

mas been substantially completed. tender
TO the chairman and members of the said
committee the sincere thanks of the Com
missioners and of the people of the District
OF Columbia for the magnificent work per-
formed by them during the past two win
tiers. The zeal, the ability and the pa
thence which has characterized the entire
committee in the prosecution of the work,
which has been attended by no other re-
ward than the consciousness of duty we'll
performed, have the appreciation of the
entire community. Before your committee
shall have formally closed its work the
commissioners have the honor to state
that they would be exceedingly gratified if
Its members, fitted by the experience which
they have gained in the prosecution of
thelr work, would carefully consider the
whole subject of relief for the deserving
poor In the District of Columbia. Various
plans have been discussed by the press and
py many of our leading citizens, having in
~" q Pei Hlhueit ana complete organ
izaton for the entire District. This SUBJ
Ject has been considered with 70 purpose
of ignoring any of the commendable organ
lZations now In existence. Other plans con-
template provision for employment of vari-
Gus kinds. not only during the inclemency
of the winter, but also during the entire
year. If the members of your committee
can spare the time to give attention to
these problems, and advise the Commits

such work would place the Commissioners
under renewed obligations"
Judge Cole stated to Star reporter this
morning that he would call a meeting of
the committee for next Saturday, to meet

Stop that Cough!

1t may lead to serious conse-
quences. Cough remedies will
not do it, because it means more

at the same time will build up

doubtless cure. If it is deep
