Want Commissioners to Grant Their
Club I,io1or License

The members of the Pennsylvania dele
cation In Congress seem to be very much
exercised over the refusal Of the District
excise board to grant license to the Penn
sylvania Club to dispense liquor to Its
members and guests at the club house, 926
18th street.
Commissioner Macfarland today received
letters from Representatives Robert Ad-
ans jr., A. F. Cooper, Elias Beemer and
c. F. Wright, expressing their surprise at
the action Of the excise board, and urging
reconsideration of the matter. The writ
ers state that they can see no reason why
the excise board should discriminate
against Pennsylvanians A similar letter
was received yesterday from Representa-
tive Olmstead of Pennsylvania, and Repre-
sentative Council expressed similar views
on the matter in Telegram to Commits
sioner mcfarland, which. was received to-
day. a.
Mr.. mcfarland In reply to these protests
will inform the writer's nthat the excise
board acted within it's discretion in the
Pennsylvania Club license matter, and that
under the law 1t has exclusive Jurisdiction
In liquor license questions, the Commits
sioners having no authority whatever over
the action of the board.

August or September with view of study
ing the industrial and commercial methods

such courtesies and accommodations as are
within the power of the District authorities
1t is pointed out that the municipal authori-
ties are not provided with an entertainment
