AGAINST LIQUOR LICENSE.
South Washington Residents Oppose
Wholesalers Application.

A large delegation of residents of South
east Washington appeared before the ex-
else board this morning to protest against
the issue of a wholesale liquor license to
Max E. Caplah, at 1901 Pennsylvania ave-
nue. southeast. Mr.. Caplah had the re-
quired number of signatures to his appli-
cation, but the protestants were none the
less vigorous in their appeals to the board
not to grant the license. Besides giving
voice to their feelings in the matter the
delegation presented several numerously
signed petitions against the place. Attor-
ney Shoemaker, representing the Anti
Saloon League represented the protestants
After hearing all the evidence the board
took the case under consideration.
Although more than two months have
passed since the beginning of the new Ii
cense year in the District. the excise board
still has under consideration twenty-six ap-
plications for renewal of licenses to sell in
toxicating liquor. A total of 479 retail Ii
censes has been issued and three rejected
while twenty-five of the applications not
yet acted upon are for retail places. There
were 13S wholesale licenses applied for on
November /. 1905, and all but four have
been granted.
Against many of the twenty-siX dealers
charges are pending in the Police Court
and, under rule of the excise board, tho
cases cannot be taken up until the court
records are clear.

Board Of Guardians Charges Present
ed with Hyacinth Bulbs.

The children under the care of the board
Of childrens guardians made their first
monthly report of the year to the probation
officer, Zed Hetzel Copp, at the Office of
the board 472 Louisiana avenue. at 3
O. clock yesterday afternoon. There were
one hundred children, from the age OF fve
years up to sixteen, and each seemed te
realize that the probation officer was work
Ing to uplift them In every way possible
The meeting was just like an afternoon
Sunday school class, with the usual talk
by the leader, Mr.. Copp. and the accom-
panying questions. Under the rules of the
board of chidrens guardians the children
must report each two weeks as TO Wnal
they are doing for living. II they are OLD
enough for employment, and If not, as to
their general welfare. Promptly at the
hour set for the exercises yesterday after-
noon Mr. Copp called the children to order,
and after wishing them a happy new year,
said he hoped they would grow up to be
men and women Of which the community
would be proud. He called attention to the
fact that one of the new governors or
western state had been a founding.
Mr. Copp then produced a hyacinth bulb
Holding 1t so that all Of the children could
see 1t. he said: Children. you see the
way this bulb looks at the present time.
Before you go to your homes, after the
meeting this afternoon, 1 will give each of
you one of these bulbs. Take 1t home and
plant 1t, and before long you will see the
beginning of a beautiful flower, which Will
grow and grow until at last it will come
forth in the bloom of a beautiful hue. 1t
Is just the same way with you in your
lives. We are working together to make
good women and men Of you. with your
help. l know 1 have your help in the
matter. You may rest assured that yon
have my help. Just plant the bulb, and
with tender care you will have the beautiful
flower. Just so If you act right and mind
your parents and determine to be good,
then no power on earth can make you
otherwise. 1 want each of you children
to tell me at our next meeting just how
the plant has grown, and also to tell how
much better you have been in their daily
lives"
Mr.. William Conrad then made a few
remarks in which he told the children of
the great work which the probation Of
ficer was doing for them in uplifting them
and caring and protecting them when they
were in the hands of the law. He urged
the children to stand by Mr.. Copp in his
work and to try in every way to aid in
the upbuilding of their lives, toward which
end the probation officer was laboring.
Later the children were each given a
hyacinth bulb, calendar and Sunday
school paper to study during the time that
will elapse before the next meeting. They
We're then dismissed by Mr. Copp.

About 800 damage was caused by the blaze,
