pected from its chemical analysis.

Must Consent to Iicense
10 MORE NEW LICENSES
FORMER RECOMMENDATIONS

1t is considered likely that the law will
lay a heavy hand on the liquor traffic of
Washington during the coming year.
The excise board of the District, which
regulates the liquor traffic. is considering
the issuance of an order to the effect that
no more licenses for additional saloons
will be issued. Only in cases where sa-
loon is desired to be transferred from one
neighborhood to another will it be con-
sidered
1t was announced by Commissioner
Macfarland today that the Commission
ers have directed the corporation counsel
TO draft a bill embodying the recommen-
dations made by them to Congress last
winter with respect to the regulation of
the liquor traffic. The preparation of this
bill was requested by the Senate commit
tee on the District of Columbia, through
its chairman, Senator Gallinger The lat
ter recently wrote Commissioner Macfar-
land that he would like to have this bill
ready for the meeting of Congress for
the short session.
Commissioners Feel Assured.
The officials of the District have reason
10 feel that the bill when presented to
Congress will meet with a certain amount
of success; that II 1t is not adopted in Its
entirety certain portions of it will be.
There is one provision in the Commits
sioners' recommendations to be embodied
in the bill which, it is believed, will be
surely enacted into law. 1t is that there
shall be only one saloon for each 1850
population of the District.
If this is enacted into law it will
mean reduction of more than 200
saloons. there are at present over
500. and the population is based at $780,
600
The recommendations of the Commits
sioners forwarded to Congress last year
and which will be drafted into Il bill
follow:
Prohibition Zones.
First-That the prohibition zones be
increased in number so as to cover the
neighborhOOd of the navy yard and
marine barracks and the War College
and engineer barracks.
Second-That no barroom license be
issued, renewed or transferred without
the consent in writing of the majority

ANOTHER EXAMINATION
Coming to Apotheearies Who Are Be
hind Three Years in Fees.

Bangor, Me, Dec 9.-The Board Of
Pharmacy at meeting this morning
ruled that an apothecary who omitted
TO pay his registration fee to the secre-
tary of the board, according to law, for
three consecutive years. must be re-
examined by the board before contin-
uing in business.
The particular case reviewed was
that of the revoking of a certificate of
registration because of the non-pay-
ment of the registration fee. The law
bearing on this subject is to the effee,
that every registered apOthecary shall
annually pay to the secretary of the
board registration fee. and that fail
ure to make this payment and receive
a renewal OF registration, for three
consecutive years. by any registered
apothecary renders the certificate of
registration void, and he can conduct
the business Of apothecary lawfully
only by examination.
The board ordered the party in ques-
tiOn to pass the regular examination
prescribed by the board if he wishes 70
continue in the business This ruling
will be carried out in every similar
case.
Cases of this kind have come up in
other states. In a recent case in
Western state the cohstitutionality of
the law was brought before the SUI
preme court for ruling. The decision
was that the law was constitutional in
every respect; that it is in the power
Of the Legislature to make such a law;
and that no person can acquire a vest
ed right to continue in business or
occupation which is subject to legisla-
tive control and regulation under police
power
