CHEAP BEER AND CRIME
POSSIBLE PROHIBITION MOVE
MENT IN WASHINGTON.

The prohibition of the sale of Intoxicating
liquors In the District of Columbia orr an
extremely high license was limited at in GER
tain matters which developed today at the
session of the excise board
1t appears that as a result of the So
called beer war which has been waged for
more than three years between certain OF
the local brewers, coupled with the recent
agitation OF the proposed rule of the board
against the bucket traffic In beer, the mat
ter has been brought to climax.
Local brewers appeared before the excise
board today and urged the board to take
decided steps to put a stop to the present
beer war, even II 1t be necessary to enact
high-Iicense act to do SO.
One of the most prominent officers of the
United States government has written to
the board concerning the conditions exist
ing in Washington as a result OF cheap beer
and the incidental bucket trade or "growler
rushing"
He says the conditions complained of are
deplorable. and that unless remedial action
is taken at once he will see to 1t that Con-
gress at its next session will pass a law
absolutely prohibiting the sale Of intoxi-
cants in the District Of Columbia. This let
ter is intense in It's demand for change
and disgusting happenings" the result Of
cheap beer and the ''zrowler" In Washing
ton
The members of the excise board express
Official. and the outlook Is that important
action will be taken by that body along
the lines indicated at an early day.
1t has been pointed out to the excise hoard
that most of the alley fights. assaults and
other violations OF the law are traceabse to
the cheap beer. which has resulted from the
rivalry between brewers. A member Of the
board said to Star reporter today that
the board depiores the existing conditions,
which are due In his opinion to the bear
war indirectly. and which has resulted In
making beer a very cheap beverage.

Pa. with SOL 600. and was arrested here
yesterday. started back to Pittsburg with
the detectives this morning, leaving the
city at sos. Cunliffe seemed more low
spirited today than when he was first cap
turad. He explained this by saying that
he had hoped to arrange for lenient treat
ment after reaching Pittsburg by trading
on his secret as to the whereabouts OF the
stolen money. But the fact that the de-
tectives recovered $4,000 Of the money In
Bristol. Conn.,, last evening removed the
prisoners hopes in this respect.
After being told by the detectives of the
recovery OF this money, CunlifYe said tha.
he had burned the rest of the amount
stcsen-about $50, O00-because the bills were
all OF large denomination and all on tina
same bank. making 1t dangerous for him
to carry them about.
Discovery Of Shipment.
The discovery OF the shipment Of money
to Bristol came about through a local
driver for the Adams Express Company.
who after cunliffe's arrest, remembered
that on. October IL he was called to the
Arlington Hotel where Cunlifre had room.
and was given suit case to be shipped

EMPEROR FRANCIS JOSEPH.
No Better Beloved, Nor More Unfortu-
nate, Sovereign in History.

No Better Beloved, Nor More Unfortu-
nate, Sovereign in History. -
The Emperor Francis Joseph is prob
ably as thoroughly beloved by his sub
jects as any sovereign in history has
ever been. His great misfortunes-
fearful defeats in the wars with France
and Germany, the suicide of his only
son, the assassination of his wife, and
family troubles in more recent times,
have thrown about him an atmosphere
Of romantic sympathy; while liking for
his kindly qualities is mingled with re-
spect for his plain common sense.
During his stay in Berlin I met him
a second time. At my first presenta-
ton at Dresden, two years before,
there was little opportunity for extend
ed conversation; but he now spoke at
length, and in a manner which showed
him to be observant of the worlds at
fairs even in remote regions. He dis
cussed the recent increase of our army,
the progress Of our war in the Philip
pines, and the extension of American
enterprise in various parts Of the
world, in a way which was not at all
perfunctory. but evidently the result
Of large information and careful OBJ
servation. His empire, which is a
seething caldron of hates, racial, re-
ligious, political and local, Is held to-
gether by love and respect for him,
but when he dies this personal tie
which unites all these different races,
parties and localities will disappear,
and in place Of it will come the man
who by force Of untoward circum-
stances is to be his successor, and this
is anything but pleasing prospect to
an Austro- Hungarian, or indeed to any
thoughtful observer of human affairs

The wind increasing almost momenta-

white strips and ribbons of water that

great limbs of the oaks about in way
