Money Already Paid for Licenses.
AsBURY PARK. n. J., Aug. lat the meeting
Of the City Council tonight Councilman Apple
by said that by charging a license for beer arks
the city actually l~egalized the sale Of beer. He

In peddling. He declared that II the city could
get money in no other way than by licens-
ing the arks 1t had better shut down. Mr..
Appleby insisted that the money which the

thought that the gift of God may be purchased

Investigation at Ottawa.
TACOMA, Wash. Aug. 1.-The retirement of
Major Walsh as Canadian Commissioner In the
Yukon country is causing much gossip at
Dawson. He will return to Ottawa when Com
missioner Ogilvie arrives. and is coming out
disguised. 1t is known that he and Gold Com
missioner Fawcett are at loggerheads. 1t is
said that Walsh does not approve the latter's
methods. and will cause an Investigation Of
them on reaching Ottawa.
Returning Klondikers say that many Govern
ment officials under Fawcett, including some
policemen, are seeking to enrich themselves
above everything else. One says:
Ask for your mail at the Dawson Post
Office and you are told that there is none.
Give a policeman So and he will get you plenty
to think. American officials corrupt. but they
are angels compared with those at Dawson"

location last winter. That morning he issued

EXTRA SESSION OPPOSED
Feeling Among Members Of the House Of
Representatives.
1t is Not Believed That There is n
Pressing Necessity for LegtsIa-
tiOn Next Spring.

The efforts of the advocates of an extra
after the close of this session. for the pur-
pose of financial legislation, have not been
fruitful. The canvass of the House on the
subject has been far from satisfactory.
W hile there are good many members who
want to secure financial legislation at as
early date as possible. it is shown by
sounding of the sentiment of the House
that the feeling among the members is
Overwhelmingly opposed to an extra ses-
sion. This does not signify any lack of
sympathy with the purposes of those who
are eagerly pressing for legislation, but in
addition to the general reluctance of mem
bers of Congress to have Congress in ses-
sion longer than Necessary, there is feel
ing among them that an extra session
would be productive of troublesome prob
lens in advance of preparation to meet
them, and, moreover, men in Congress do
not generally feel that there is pressing
necessity for legislation in advance OF the
regular session of next Congress.
Ii there were any apprehension that the
desired legislation couId be successfully re-
sisted by tilibustering minority it might
be generally recognized as desirable that
the matter should be taken up as soon as
possible, but there is no such apprehension
A member OF the House, who is an advo-
cate OF an extra session and the prompt
adoption of the McCieary bill, said today
that the canvass, in which he had assisted
disclosed very strong sentiment against
a meeting of the next Congress before next

pending the time for McCullagh to take
charge he will study the situation and rec
ommend definite plan. Beyond all else,
