APPLIES FOR TRANSFER.
Michael O'Connor Wants Wholesale
Liquor License at New Place.

The request of Michael ]. O'Connor to
transfer his wholesale liquor license from
AZ H street northwest to the corner Of 10th
and streets northeast was the subject Of
a hearing before the District excise board
this morning. Mr.. O'Connor furnished the
necessary number of signers for the trans
fer and the only objection offered was that
there was no need for a saloon in the neigh
borhood in question, and that establishing
a wholesale place would mean the inaugu-
ration of bucket business which AL
bert E. Shoemaker attorney for the Anti
Saloon League, stated would be not only
Objectionable and offensive but a detriment
to the vicinity. Others who spoke in oppo-
sitiOn to the issuing of the transfer were
w. s. Ransom and A. c. Wrenn, property
owners in the immediate vicinity of the site
OConnor proposes to occupy.
Mr.. O'Connor was represented by Attor-
ney Wilton ]. Lambert and the board an
nounced that they would take the case
under Amusement before recommending any
action.

SELECTION OF A %1TE
NEW HOME FOR BUREAU OF
AMERICAN REPUBLICS.
Arguments in Favor Of Van Ness
Park-Committee May Announce
Choice Within q Week.

Within week 1t is expected that the
committee charged with the selection of a
site for the new home for the bureau Of
American republics will have reached a
decision. That committee IL composed Of
Secretary Root, Assistant Secretary
Bacon and Mr.. John Barrett, director Of
the bureau. So far, 1t is stated, no less
than dozen Sites more or less eligible,
have been offered by syndicates or In
dividuals, but no selection has yet been
made. Among them Is the purchased site
OF George Washington University, in Van
Ness Park, at the foot Of 18th street. The
fact that that offer has been made, how
ever is regarded as final evidence that
the university authorities have concluded
to change it's location and 1t Is understood
that Oak Lawn" the property of Mrs
A. NJ Dean, on Connecticut avenue, will
be the new location of the university.
Inc arguments submitted to Secretary
Roots committee in favor of the Van Ness
Park site for the new bureau of American
republics building are in brief that 1t will
meet the main requisites of the committee
IN being adjacent to the State Depart
ment, it being assumed that the new State
Department building w.ll be located on
the mall near 18th street. The available
ground would afford sufficient space about
the American republic palace to insure
dignified and imposing appearance for the
structure and quiet and removal from the
turmoil of the city would also be assured
Advocates Of Other Sites.
On the other hand, advocates of other
sites have urged that the building should
be located in a more accessible position as
regards street railroads and public traffic,
and also that the purpose of its founder
would be better served by placing the new
building In a most conspicuous location. All
of these considerations have appealed to the
members of the committee, and it is for
them now to decide upon the final location.
1t is stated that the necessary money for
the purchase of the site can be had re-
CARELESS of the location as between several
of the sites under consideration. Congress
has provided a specific appropriation of
$2jO,OOO for a new home for the bureau. 1t
is doubtful, however If that entire sum
could be expended for site alone without
violation of the spirit of the act of Con-
gress. But Mr.. Carnegie's gift of $4,000
to supplement the congressional appropria-
ton was made in elastic terms, which will
permit the committee to use it's discretion
as to the amount of money that may be d.
verted to the purchase of the site.
1t was stated today that the plans of the
committee contemplate the completion of
the building within a year and a half from
the date of beginning the work.

MUST REMAIN 80 DAYS
FINE IMPOSED ON GEORGE z. To-
REM Is NOT PAID.
Term Of Two Years Imprisonment Ex-
pired Last Saturday-Course
in Such Cases.

The sentence Of two years imprisonment
imposed upon Dr. George e. Lorenz, one
Of the alleged consprators in the postal
fraud cases, expired last Saturday, but
there Is no record Of his having paid the
fine OF $4,000 that was made a part OF
the sentence. Had the fine been paid
DR.. Lorens would have been released from
the Moundsville. West Va, penitentiary
Saturday. but under the law he will have
to remain there thirty days after the ex-
piration Of the two years to take advan-
tage of the poor conviet's act. Such, 1t
1t stated. is done by prisoners filing aft
davits with a United States commissioner
declaring they are unable to pay the fine.
Should the government take issue with
Lorenz and make an effort to prove that
he is able to pay the fine. 1t is likely that
delay will result in his restoration to
liberty. -..s....-
The position of druggist and chemist in
the prison is one that is not easily filled,
a prisoner who is capable of performing
the work not always being available. DIR.
Lorenz, it is said. has filled the position
to the entire satisfaction of Warden Had
doX, and the latter is sorry that he Is so
soon to be compelled to find successor.
Post Office Department Conspiracy.
Dr. Lorenz was convicted of completely
in the conspiracy which was alleged TO
have existed in connection with the sale
of the Croft letter-box fasteners, and was
sentenced to serve two years and to pay a
fine of 10000 He was not sent to the
prison with the other defendants who went
there the 18th of February. 1895, being
permitted to defer his going until July 4
the same year. The postponement in his
case, ii is said. was due to his will ingneSs
to give testimony in other cases. and some
of those who were interested in the affair
had an idea that he was to be pardoned.
Nearly five months after the Groffs and
Machen were sent away, however, DR..
LorenZ was taken to the West Virginia
prison with a batch of other prisoners.
With time off for good behavior the sem
tence of DR.. LOrenZ expired last Saturday.
When DIR. LorenZ is discharged from the
prison he will leave there \. W. Machen
and George W. Beavers the only repre-
sentatives of the alleged -conspirators
against the government in the post Office
cases. Beavers will be the next one re-
leased. having been sent to prison to serve
two years. Machen finished the first term
imposed upon him and he is now serving
his second sentence of two years.
