HAS FORMED NO COMPACT
MR.. HARVEY EXPLAINS POSI-
TON OF LIQUOR DEALERS.
League Does Not Expect to Enter
Into Any Warfare Regarding
Legislation.

Hugh F. Harvey of the Federation
of Liquor Dealers of the District of
Columbia has returned to the city from
the convention OF the National Liquor
League of America, held at Boston,
Mass. Mr.. Harvey stated to a reporter
this morning that the convention was
one of the most largely attended of
any in the history of the organization.
He was honored by reelection as chair
man of the national committee On leg
islation, and will be in full charge
here at the National capital.
Mr.. Harvey has been busy familiariz-
ing himself with the trend of events
in Washington. during his absence. and
in connection with the interests he
represents said:
am at a loss to understand the
wherefore of statements appearing in
the press as to the intentions of the
local liquor dealers. We are not pre-
pairing, nor do we intend. to make
night before Congress, or from the
forum or otherwise in respect to our
business. There is no one authorized
to commit the liquor dealers to a cam
pa1gn directed against those who may
differ with us as to the ethics Of our
business. No campaign has been out
lined Does II seem reasonable to you
to suppose. If such a determination had
been reached by the liquor dealers of
Washington, that we would be pro-
claiming plan of battle in advance of
the conflict?

Attending to Business.

What we are doing, though, and what
we shall continue to do, is to conduct our
business as any sane and sensible man
would carry on his trade. 1t is ridiculous
and even fallacious to declare that tire
local liquor dealer has designs on the
morality of the citizens of this District
He is just as much. and maybe more, in
terested in maintaining the morality, etc.
of the family. Where there is an abuse
of the use of malt and spirituous liquors
we much regret 1T, as do all citizens. AS
l said before, we are endeavOring to con-
duct our business along sane lines. Beer.
wines and liquors have their uses along
with the other foods and drinkables to
which mankind is accustomed. 1t is GER
tainly unwise to go to an extreme in the
use of any food or drink. Intemperance
is certainly to be regretted no matter
what course 1t takes
There are constitutions that rebel at
the use of practically every food and
drink in ordinary use, and there Is just
as much reason to condemn the dealers
that sell hot bread to a dyspeptic, to-
bacco to a man with a weak heart or tea
to nervous woman as the liquor dealer
who unknowingly delivers a malt or spir-
ituous liquor to an individual who does
not know when to stop.
Work of the Convention.
But to return to the national conven-
ton. The National Liquor League OF
America received communications from a
large number of organizations through
out the country offering their activities to
prevent the Inauguration of local option
movements. declaring local option to be
an attack on the personal liberty of the
citizen. These evidences of interest were
extremely gratifying to the league.
But we will be extremely obliged to
some Of these bodies and their leaders If
they cease trying to manage our affairs
We have not apprised any organization
of our plans or policies Of organization.
1t seems to me that there has been too
much notoriety sought by partisans to
both sides Of the question. The aim ap-
pears to have been to exploit the indi-
-viduaT at the expense Of the main ques-
ton at issue.
Neither the National Liquor League
OF America nor its subordinate bodies
have formed an alliance with organiza-
tons to aid in the settlement of the local
option question: nor does 1t expect to do

GRAFT GAME PLAYED
BY METUCHEM BOYS.
Hold Up Autoists and Give Fake In
formation, for Which They
Want Money.

NEW BRUNSWICK, Aug. I'm. %.
Crosby, of lis Broadway, New York,
complained yesterday of the hold-up
tactics a number of boys are practising
upon autoists on the roads about Me-
tuchen. He says that he has been
held up by boys several times, who
have warned him that traps exist in
the road ahead and then have sug-
gested a tip for their information. HE
found no traps and concluded that the
boys We're out simply to fleece autoists.
He says that on one occasion, while
he was on his to Long Branch,
he was stopped by a boy waving a flag
in the road. The youngster handed
him a printed card containing the
following:
"Autoists, beware! There is a trap
at Metuchen, Old Bridge and Free
hold"
AS he was starting on his way the
boy asked him, what there was In it
for him for warming and he tossed him
a half-dollar. He found 10 trap. On
his return he was stopped by two
boys near the Pines and warned that
there was a police trap near Metuchen'
He found none. After passing Me-
tuchen he was stopped by a boy who
said that there was a trap about a mile
down the road. He found none.

NOT IN TELEPHONE
DIRECTORY.
Paterson Man Claims Big Damages Be-
cause His Name Was Left Out,
Although He Paid.

PATERSON. Aug. 19.-Louis Lis
tard, of Bremertown, has brought suit
for $40, 900 against the New York and
New Jersey Telephone Company. the
sum sued for being the price of a
piece of property Listard says he might
have sold but for improper telephone
service.
Listard says he las a a telephone for
fifteen years, but that his name did
not appear in the directory. He found
a customer for his $4,000 property in
the person of George f. Holden, of
New York city, he says, and Holden
came to Paterson to see the property.
According to Listard's story, Holden
stepped into the Bellevue Hotel to call
up Mr.. Listard on the telephone. He
was, unable to find the name in the
book, and, after making an inquiry Of
central about Mr.. Listard, and being
told that Listard had no telephone,
the customer returned to New York in
disgust and never made the purchase.
