Stars Crusade Against Liquor Sale
Brings Results.

Prompt acceptance of the fat laid down
by influential citizens of the community in
Maryland just north of the District line
seems to be indicated on part of the per-
son or persons who gave notice few days
since that application had been made for
license to sell liquor at the District line
on Brightwood avenue near Silver Spring.
A statement to this effect was made by
high officials in the District government TO-
day. 1t being declared as an almost inevita-
bic result of the crusade undertaken against
the place by The Star and by citizens Of
Maryland that the application for license
will be withdrawn rather than pressed The
usual advance fee of one twelfth of the
annual license tax of $500. amounting TO
$6667, has been deposited by the applicant,
but this payment is contingent upon the
issue of the license, 1t is predicted that the
money will be returned upon the abandon
ment of the effort.
Naturally. the question will not come be-
fore the excise board of the District for
consideration until the usual period required
for, the notice to remain posted has expired,
but the members of the board are conf
dent that the matter will never reach the
stage of being presented before them for
adjudication. 1t can be stated authorl-
tatively that the District officials, after
reading with interest the facts set forth IN
the protest prepared and signed by resi-
dents of Sligo, Woodside, Linden and Forest
Glen. Md, have generally agreed that the
vicinity Of a trolley transfer station so gen.
orally used that at the District line ter
minus of the Brightwood railway Is not al
ali suitable for the location of drinking
saloon. No definite notification Of the aban-
donment of the application has yet been re-
ceived at the District building but, as
above. stated, such a course Is considered
most probable.

LIKELY TO BE DICKERING.
Senators and the President May Seek
Compromise.

Senator Elkins will call the committee on
interstate commerce to meet in this city No
veTnber Is to resume consideration Of the
subject of railway rates. AS heretofore stat
ed in The Star. the committee is enjoined to
make some kin of report to the Senate
within ten days after the meeting of Cons
gress, and will probably have to ask ex-
tension of time.
1t is reported upon reliable authority that
efforts for a compromise between Presi-
dent Roosevelt and the ultra-conservative
Senators on the rate question will be made
in the meantime. 1t is admitted that the
Senate committee is not at this time will
ing to accept the full scope of the Presi-
dents views on railway rate questions.
1t Is also known, however, that the rail-
ways are aware that legislation of some
character is demanded by the country, rs
a result of the present agitation, and are
willing. in self-defense and in avoidance
of possible drastic legislation hereafter, to
meet the demands at least half way.
Reliable information is to the effect that
there will be some dickering between the
White House and the conservative faction
of Senators and before the committee of
the Senate meets. .,,..-. ...
