SAYS JURORS ARE BRIBED BY
PURCHASE OF STRONG DRINK.

sonal bond of the dealer was taken in
lieu of fine and in several cases he said
sentence was suspended.
Mr.. Shoemaker stated that of the 229
cases against licensed dealers, twenty
eight were tried resulting in a verdict of
not guilty, fifty-one were dismissed. and in
each of eighty-one cases a nolle proSequi
was entered.
He said that the 800 cases did not repre-
sent the great number Of cases brought
to the attention of the Prosecuting Attor-
ney for which warrants were refused on
some apparent weakness in the testi-
monv.
Witnesses Worn Out by Delays.
Mr.. Shoemaker declared that the chief
difficulty in securing convictions lies in
the delay caused by the postponement of
the cases in court on one pretext or an
other. He complained that the defence
was so manipulated by shrewd counsel
that the prosecuting witnesses are worn
out with the delay and refuse to spend
more time attending the sessions of the
court.
Rev. Frederick D. Powers, one of the
members of the league present, spoke of
the desirability of ridding the resident
sctions of the city of the saloon. He
graphically described the conditions ex-
listing in the vicinity of Fourteenth Street
and Wallach Place. He stated that his
residence is on Wallach Place, and that
within three blocks of his home there are
ten salons. He thought the number too
large.
Bucket Brigade.
Rev. Mr.. Powers stated that these sa-
looms are principally supported by the
bucket brigade" He described how wom-
en- and men, at all times of the day and
night up to the closing hour, troop back
and forth from their homes to the sa-
looms in Fourteenth Street, carrying pitch
ers and tin buckets of beer. He said they
used Wallach Place for the purpose con-
tinually.
In summer, he said, the residents Of
that thoroughfare are much disturbed by
the negroes who live in the alleys and
streets farther away from Fourteenth
Street as they pass and repass, often
half drunk, and boisterous in their ac-
tions and conversation.
He said the conditions described had be-
come almost unbearable. The only reme-
cy he could see was TO shut the saloon
cut of the resident sections and stop the
practice commonly called rushing the
growler.'
special appeal was made to the Com
missioners by the delegation to secure the
passage of the bill prepared by the league
and introduced in the last Congress to
regulate the sale of intoxicating liquors in
the District.
Leagues Recommendation.
The league also urged the enactment
into law of the recommendations of Major
Sylvester relative to the closing of sa-
looms on resident streets and the chang
ing of the term OF the jury service in the
Police Court.
In addition TO Mr.. Shoemaker and the
Rev. Mr.. Power there were present at
the hearing the president of the league,
Mr.. J. L. Erwin, and the Rev. Charles H.
Butler and the Rev. Frederick Heisse, and
Messrs. S. W. Russell, J. NJ. Pinkens, and
Z. z. La Fetra.
The Washington times., 1902-01-11

At hearing before the District Com
maker, attorney for the Anti-Saloon
League. made serious charges regarding
certain alleged practices in the Police
Court The hearing was granted to mem
bers of the league and others who have
in mind further restrictions upon the
liquor traffic in the District than is con-
templated under existing law.
Saw Jurors Taken to Saloons
Mr.. Shoemaker stated that persons in
terested in defending those charged with
violation of the liquor law make the ac-
quaintance of the Police Court Jurors, and
through influence brought to bear upon
them, free their clients. He declared that
he had seen jurors taken across the street
or around the corner to saloons, and
there treated" in the interests of per-
sons under prosecution, and charged that
when the cases were brought up in court,
possibly after repeated postponements,
the accused persons invariably went free.
This he referred to as common practice
carried on with little or no concea lment
He suggested a remedy that the period of
jury service be shortened from three
months, under the existing law, to thirty
days, as proposed in bill prepared by
the league and sent to Congress. BY thus
shortening the period of the service of
jurors, Mr.. Shoemaker said, the in
definite postponement of cases and the
tampering with individual jurors would
measurably cease.
Convictions Difficult.
Mr.. Shoemaker also presented a state
ment of the actions taken in the Police
Court against violators of the liquor law,
and the great difficulty experienced in
securing convictions. He said that since
the present license law went into effect,
in March, 1888 there had been 229 prose-
cutions of liquor dealers for violation of
the law entered in the Police Court. OF
this number he said fifty-two were con-
victed.
IL about one-half of the fifty-two cases
the court imposed the minimum fine of
$50, and in about fifteen cases the per-
