No willful Violation.

Mr. Wiiiige's son appeared and filed a
written answer to the charges, explaining
that there never had been willfll viola
ton by him of the law since he began busi-
ness in 1869, and that his intention is,
and has been, to conduct his business in
strict conformity with the regulations.
The protest. he said, was more forced than
voluntary.
Mr.. Shoemaker, for the Anti-S aloon
League, noted that the applicant had never
obtained the signatures to his petition for
license, as required by law, that they should
have been of residents i'll the adjoininc @

William p. Cole, proprietor of
the Thyson House. at No. 1903 Seventh
street northwest. had to answer to the
charge OF permitting card pla ying in hi:
house. He explained that two guests,
friends of his, each an expert cribbage
player. met at his house one evening, and
to determine who was the better, repaired
TO a rear room and pla ayed game. It was
against his orders, Mr.. Cole said, and this
was substantiated by the two gentlemen,
MesSrs. Shields and Thorn. whose act
caused the application to be held up.
Lieut.. Teeplc said a good word for the
house, and expressed the opinion that Mr.
Cole had NJ intention Of violating the law
in any particular.
Richard Hall, No. 1884 NJ street nortn-
west, WAS charged with failure to expose
his bar as required during the hours when
his place was closed. He was nine times
an aegressor in this particular, according
To the report IN this case. He was cham
pioned by Mr.. Joseph Frank, who made d
statement to the effect that there was

that when Informed as to the requirements

Excise Board Hears Argument

MANY APPLICANTS PRESENT
Some Merely Guilty of Technical
Violations of the Law-James +.
Immoral Cards ds-Dice-ThrOwing
Brought Against A. r.. Appler.

Tie excise board held session today fol
tie hearing OF cases in which saioonkeepers
werecitcd to appear 10 sho W cause why theii
applications for license should not be dis
approved.
James +. Connor OF No 343 Pennsylvania
avenue, was charged with selling to intoXi
Gated persons, and also with having his bar
,, open on Sunday for the purpose of having
it cleanscd.
A more serious charge was that Connor
distributed among his customers a series
of cards strongly suggestive of immoral
ty a sample of each being before the
| board. Themat had been first called to
| the attention of the members by an anony-
nous correspondent, who said that while
he didn't run no gospel mill" and what
he didn't know about morality and de-
cency would probably fill many volumes.
he strongly protested against Mr.. Connor' S
cards.
The restaurant keeper was defended by
Mr.. Frank Z. Madigan, who said that his
client had given out but few of his cards
before being advised against circulating
them, and that all had been destroyed.
Such method OF advertising is in vogue in
other cities, Mr.. Cunnur said, and he had
thoughtlessly adopted it. but had discon-
tinued it and would offend no more.
One Offense Enough.
Attorney Shoemaker of the Anti Saloon
League, contended that a single offense
of such a character against moral sentiment
was sufficient cause for the rejection Of
the license.

their bars from the street. and these Were
soon disposed Of.
A K. Appler, of No. 32l9 NJ street, who

was charged with permttngt the use of dice
as a means of deciding ''thc drinks" and
also OF frequently failing to properly ex
pose the Interior Of his bar-''thirty y times, y
the police report showed.
The defense was that the dicc-thro wing
was in nosense a gambling affair: A friend
of his, Mr.. COpperthite, was in his saloon
and was shaking the box as a mere pastime.
When told To quit it, the friend did so, and
it had never been repeated The windows
Mr. Appler said. had been only partially
obstructed, but not SO much as TO obscure
the view, and W hen his attention W as called
to il he removed the obstruction
Mr.. Copperthite was present and sub
stantiated all that had been said in extenu-
alton OF the dicc-throwing, assuming all
OF the responsibility himself, and insisting
that there were no stakes involved in the
pastime.

PERSONAL AND PECULIAR

There is a pretty little story told Of
Raul Kaulowski, the Polish boy of only
nine years, who is SQUIRT pianist to the
Gear of Russia. At the close of one OF
his concerts last winter all the women
pushed eagerly to the front in order to
kiss him. The little fellow stood there
gracefully, receiving it ALL Finally one
little woman who could not reach him
threw him q rose. This act inspired an
other to throw him her breastpin. He
took the rose and smilingly kissed it
but, picking up the jeweled pin, with a
polite bow he pissed it back to it's owner.

TIE suggestion of. the abolition Of the
two thirds rule which has been observed
in Democratic conventions since Jack
sons time finds little favor in the Demo
cratic committee, only two members be-
ing found who would say that they
fa7ored it. The chief reason for standing
by the rule seems to be that 1t is old.
For when looked at on it's merits it seems
to be an absurd provision. 1t does not
apply to the platform but only to the
candidate. A majority may decide the
creed of the party but no less than two
thirds can select the man to stand upon
it. When there ia no marked difference
of opinion concerDing the policy of the
party, the two thirds rule does perhaps
no harm, but at the same time 1t is pro-
ductive of no particular good. But when,
as now, there is sharp division on the
pslicy which the party should adopt it
has in it much power for mischief, be-
cause it makes it possible for the minor
ity of the party which has opposed the
policy agreed upon by the majority to
compel the latter to accept a candidate of

The Hon. Warner Miller's break for
Mckinley is not likely TO cut much ice
for that statesman, though undoubtedly
its purpose is to give him a position OF
advantage when the patronage is ready
fer distribution in case of McKinley's
election. The original Mckinley men,
such as Milholland. look upon Miller's
sudden conversion as mere bid for
spoils, and they are not according him a
bit of credit for it, Such aid as be can
give them they are Of course willing to
acoept, but they do not conceal their in
tention of causing him to fall outside
the breastworks when they have got all
out of him that is possible. Even now
they arc sneering at him.

Stunning that Mckinley is to be the head of

CURRENT COMMENT.
SHOULD NOT ACCEPT.
(Suripgfield Uniop.l

1t is doubtful if the gentleman from
Nahant would take the place. he Can
not afford to. There is no question but
that it would be an honor to preside over
a body of which he is simply member
at the present time. but there is more
to consider than this. His election as
vice president could practically end his
political career SO far as elective office
is concerned. He might possibly be re-
elected to the some position, but it is
DOUBTFUL If he would ever be considered
a residential probability, other men
would arise to take his place in the SEN
ate, and all that would be open to him
would be the diplomatic service. Sena-
tor Lodge is only on the threshold Of ma
tional politics and his best course is to
continue AS he is for some time. If, In
the years to come, the Republican party
wishes an Eastern man for second place
on the national ticket, it will be time
enough for Senator Lodge to consider
the offer, but at present he had better re-
main in the Senate. By so doing he will
do full justice to himself and the state he
reDr0SontS.
