PROPOSED
Wholesale Liquor DsaIsrs Confer
With the Police Commissioners.

The opinion has prevailed in the liquor
trade for more than a year that there
are too many licenses issued. An express
ion OF this opinion having reached head
quarters, the board OF police commission
ers consented to meet and confer with
the wholesalers last evening
Commissioners Luther and Sims found
10 wholesalers ready TO talk over the sit
uation. One plan that had been proposed
embraced the raising OF fees and a re
duction In the number OF licenses. There
were some retailers who were just about
coming out even. who. N the fee was
raised, would have 10 drop out and thus
involuntarily decrease fhc number OF sa-
looms
The wholesalers were Of one opinion
that the liquor business is overdone In
this city. They were also OF the opinion
that II was not plausible to increase the
fee for wholesale licenses. but they were
sure that III the retail fee was raised from
500 to 5000 much good would be accom-
plished.
The wholesale fee was formerly sscl
This the police commissioners had raised

Mr.. Luther said after the conference
was concluded: These wholesalers rep
they should be protected. and we want
them TO feel that inasmuch az we are
able TO do so we will protect them. We
cannot make the laws. but We can exc

OOINGS AT BROWN.
Varsity Football Team at Righ Pclat Of
DEVELOPMENT Some University Notes.

The varity team seems 10 have reached
high point i'm development this week
Yesterday i'm practice they had their own
way with the second and scored five times
on them. The team play is developing In
good style and the whole team pulls or
pushes the runner. thus getting all the
ground possible out OF every play.
Higgins showed up remarkably well
throughout the practice. As interference
or carrying the ball he Is one OF the
strongest men on the team, and he takes
fine care OF the left tackle position.
IT has been thought best TO spare Cap
tain Webb much as possible on account
OF his injured knee. There is no serious
trouble and Webb was out on the field
I'm his uniform. but any added injury re-
ceived I'm practice might keep him out OF
the game Saturday. He will probably be
able TO play that. however.
The sophomore eleven and the Friends
school played a stubborn game on An
drews field yesterday afternoon, neither
side being able TO score. The play was
very even in the first half, but in the
second the ball was In possession OF the
1906 men most all OF the time although
they could not score. One on the IL
yards line and several times at short
distance from the goal. the plucky prep
school held their opponents for downs,
and averted what seemed a sure touch
down.
The all around playing of Jones Of the
Friends school. i'm attack, defence, and
punting was the feature OF the game. The
game was. however. free from very bad
flmbling and the close game was very
interesting one to the spectators.
