dress Of welcome was responded to by Mr..

BACK TO EXCISE BOARD.
Application for Transfer of Bar Room
License,

License.
Mr.. A. B. Duvall, the corporation counsel,
has returned to the Commissioners the brief
of Attorneys Lambert & Baker filed with
the excise board in connection with the ap-
plication Of Maurice J. Sheehan for a trans
fer of a bar room license from 127 H street
northeast to 1856 I'd street northeast. The
question arose as to whether or not the
chapel in the Home for the Aged should be
considered a place of religious worship in
the meaning Of the excise law the new To-
cation being by one measurement within
400 feet Of the home.
Mr.. Duvall says the question involved in
this case is a question of fact, which the
excise board will have to determine itself
I am of the same opinion" he continues
as expressed September II, 1902 unless the
fact Is, as claimed in this brief, that the
general public is excluded from the reli-
gious services which are held in the chapel
If this Is the fact, then my opinion would
be that this Home for the Aged is not a
house of religious worship within the mean
ing of section 16 of the-act of Congress reg
ulating the sale of intoxicating liquors in
the District of Columbia. as amended May
10, 1894"
The matter now goes back to the excise
board for its consideration and action.

Program Today.

The third annual Central Texas
fair, and what every indication
points to as the best in the history
Of the association, began yesterday
with light attendance caused by
drizzling rain, which, if it was dis
agreeable and kept the crowd back
for a time, nevertheless put the
grounds in better shape.
The buildings, grounds and race
course are in excellent shape and
the exhibits Of all kinds are the
finest ever seen outside the state
fair. The agricultural exhibit from
Brazos county is finer than the ex-
hibit from this county which took
the premium over all others at the
recent session Of the farmers con.
gress at college station, and EN-.
braces an almost endless variety OF
field crops, fruits, vegetables, grass.

other things found in the county,
the whole forming a revelation
