BOARD CALLS A HALT.
Familiarity With Excise Case Rem
ders Further Hearing Unnecessary.

A protest filed against the issuance of a
bar room license to John B. Buckley, who
conducts a saloon at 10th and T streets
northwest, was taken up by the excise
board at the District building this morn
ing. Contrary to expectation on the part
of the protestants. among whom was Sena-
tor Burkett of Nebraska who lives in the
vicinity of the saloon, Chairman Trimble
of the board announced when the OPP
ponents made ready to voice their OBJ
lection, that the members of the board did
not regard it necessary to go into long
hearing and listen to arguments for and
against the license, inasmuch as they are
familiar with all phases of the case. They
had listened. he said, many times to the
details and would take the case under adj
visement. After careful and impartial con-
sideration of all the papers and informa-
ton furnished them, Chairman Trimble
said, the board will announce its decision.
The opponents of the saloon, who base
their fight upon the grounds that the local
ity in which the saloon in question is to be
located is a purely residential one, and
that a saloon is not needed there; that its
presence will be detrimental to the neigh
borhood. both morally and materially. They
presented themselves before the excise
board this morning. determined to fight the
application with more vigor and earnest
ness than ever before. They were repre-
scented by Attorneys Douglass & Douglass
ana Attorneys bdTndFu az JoIIlSOIl, Out,
owing to the unexpected halt called upon
the hearing by Chairman Trimble, they did
not have a chance to indulge in arguments,
except those which they presented on
paper.
Mr. Buckley was represented by Frank
Madigan. He contends that his client s
character and the manner of conducting
the business are irreproachable, and that
the only cause for protest is that the
residents and property owners in the vicin-
ity of 10Th and L streets want to force him
out. In the written information furnished
by Mr.. Madgan he declared that his client
is the pioneer of that neighborhood and
those who are opposing him have built up
around him. In view of this and in view
of the boards former rulings in cases
against Buckley he did not consider there
was sufficient grounds to refuse his client
application for a license.

Elected President in 1894.

In the summer of 1894 he was elected
president of the republic, Immediately after
the assassination of President Carnot He
was not popular. owing to his opposition
to the agencies which threatened the ma
tional security. He was openly insulted in
every possible manner, and eventually the
government prosecuted NJ. Girault- Richard
who had published lbels on the president,
for which he was sentenced to six months
Imprisonment. This aroused a storm of
popular dsapproval NJ. Girault-Richard
was elected a deputy, and the socialists.
carrying the campaign on to a further point,
demanded that he be given to the cham
ber," that is to say, released. The gov
eminent determinedly refused the socialist
demand, and by 300 votes to 219 was sup
ported by the chamber, after it had been in
timated that the president would consider
an adverse vote as personal to himself.
Serious differences arose between NJ Cast
mir-Perier and his supporters, and eventu-
ally. January 10, 1895, he resigned. having
held the presidency about six and one
half months. 1t was asserted that ..his
action was condemned by the whole of
Europe. During the lola trial it developed
that the real reason for Casimir-Perer's
concealed material facts of policy from
him, so that he nearly found himself in
serious quarrel with Germany, owing to
his ignorance of the Dreyfus scandal.
1t was even said that private documents
on the Dreyfus affair from the German
amba ssador in Paris to his emperor had
been distracted and photographed while on
in order to disa himself from such
acts and to prevent the possibility of war
Casimir-Perier retired from the presidency
and from political life.
