VTASH1NGTON.-Who will sit on

while the president is taking rest and
recreation at Oyster Bay? None of

plans for the dog days watch had been
determined upon.

EXCISE BOARD ACQUIESCEs.
Relieved of Responsibility by De.
cisiOn Denying Powers.

Matthew Trimble. chairman Of the ex-
else board, yesterday, upon behalf Of the
boa'd, made a statement in connection
with the recent decision of the Court Of
Appeals, in which the board was directed
TO issue a license to 7. b. lie Cuyer TO
sell liquor at the Columbia Hotel
The decision denies judiciary power to
the board, and requires that when a
license holder or applicant hereafter is
charged with violating the excise laws,
he must first be taken to the Police Court
and be adjudged guilty before the board
may revoke the liquor license.
In his statement Mr.. Trimble says:
L have carefully read the opinions of
tie court in the lie Cuyer case. IN re-
fusing TO renew his license the excise
board acted on the theory that It had
certain discretionary powers. and used
that discretion in the interest of public
morals, The court. however. has decided
that the duty of the board in the premises
was "a ministerial one. and that in refus-
ing the application of Mr.. lie Cuyer they
exceeded their authority
This decision relieves the board of all
responsibility so far as hotels are con-
cerned. and. having done our fun duty as
we understood il, we viii comply strictly
with thS Interpretation of the court with
out comment as 10 its ultimate effect"
