thorities in ferreting out the gambling
and illegal liquor selling along the bor-
ders Of the two states adjacent to the
District of Columbia, and by the publi-
city given through these mediums pub
lie sentiment has been Influenced to such
an extent that the granting of licenses
for the sale of liquor in these localities
has been discontinued, and they are now
practically local option" No honest
person familiar with the condition that
prevailed q few wears ago can deny that
there has been a marked improvement,
and that the suppressinYof the gambling
and liquor selling, both legal and illegal
has largely decreased vice, made these
communities laW-abiding and safe, even
for ladies to pass through at night. and
greatly enhanced the value of property
in and adjacent thereto Great good
has been accomplished both for the local
communities themselves and for the
District of Columbia whose residents
We're contaminated under former condi-
tons.
The question of prohibition for the
District of Columbia is now being agi-
tated in Congress. and some of the
Washington newspapers are not as zeal
Gus in advocating this measure for taeir
own District as they have been for their
neighboring communities. If prohibition
is good for the states of Virginia and
Maryland. why not for the District of
Columbia? If local option is good for
the sections of these states adjoining
the District of Columbia. why not for toe
sections of the District OF Columbia add
joining these states" Since local option
has prevailed il the territories adjoin-
ing the District Of Columbia the borders
of the District have become lined with
low grOg shops supported mainly by the
patrons OF the states mentioned, who
are unable to get it elsewhere. In

LABOR TO FIGHT RoSS|TER
UNITED OPPOSITION TO HIS
CONFIRMATION.
Of Force at the Govern.
ment Printing of6ce-General
Conditions There.

The announcement in The Star yester-
day that President Roosevelt had deter.
mined to appoint William S. Rossiter to
succeed Charles A. Stillings as public
printer is now accepted as inevitable by
the, employees Of the government printing
Office. 1t was said last night however
that the members of the Typographical
unions all over the United States will
enter a protest against Mr.. Rossiter's
confirmation by the Senate when his
name is sent to that body. In this move
ment it was added. the printers will be
assisted by the bookbinders and unions
of other crafts.
Affairs at the office are said to be pro.
crossing quietly. The opinion is prevalen,
new public printer is firmly in the saddle
but there Is probability that these
changes will be brought about slowly. a
man here and a man there, and that the
supervising force will not be disorganized
Considerable comment has been made
recently by printers and bOokbinde-s or
the probability of reduction in the forca
of regulars when Congress adjourns this
spring. The drastic reduction in the num-
Der of bookbinders last summer has
brought their number down to a working
basis. it is said. while the dropping of the
and machine operators will. 1t is thought
prevent a reduction in the ranks of the
printers.
The Total Reduced.
At one time there were 800 temporary
and emergency employees in the compos-
ing rooms. but the probationary appoint
ment of machine operators and the drop
ping of those. who were not steady has
brought the total down considerably and
given rise to the rumor that workers were
being dropped to curtail expenses.
III this same connection still more COM
ment attended the announcement yester-
day afternoon that forty-eight compOsitors
had been notified of their dismissal. 1t
was claimed by the men and women af-
fected that many Of them had been
brought from all sections of the country
by inducements that there would be long
and steady employment for them in the
big print shop during the rush incident to
the session of Congress. Most Of them,
it is said had been assured of work until
late spring or early summer, and the
dismissals found them totally unprepared
for the emergency.
Explanation of the action was sought
from the officials OF the printing Office
last night, and one of them said the
forty-eight persons dismissed were merely
members of the temporary force of COM
positors who were enlisted from time to
time as stress of work demanded. They
NAV be taken back as occasion requires
in the future but there is no promise
held forth that this class of extra hands
will be given continuous employment
for any period Of time.

SALESMAN ARRESTED
Short in His Accounts With New
 Haven Tobacco B0uSe.

Jonh E. Ney, age 27, we'll known in this city, travelling salesman for the New Haven Tobacco Co was arrested in the Elm City Saturday on charge of embedding about $1,000 from the firme he represented. Ney is said to have admitted the shortage in his ac- count and says that be blew it in to be good fellow and to get good business for the concern. His terri tory was through the Naugatuck val ley. Of late he has been spending much time in this city and was the past week making arrangements for the appearance at the Buckingham Music hall on Februry of the unl- versity of Pennsylvania Glee club. Ney received $15 a week salary, but evidently lived far in excess of that. He was never known as a sport in this city. He was a we'll groomed young man, and to all appearances was making success of his busi- ness. His home is in Boston, Ser geant Dennehy of New Haven, who ar rested Ney, said he was the frankest prisoner he ever brought in. He told him that he was up against it and had taken at least $500. Ney is said to have taken $500 in one lump, which undoubtedly was the means of his shortage being discovered. He is held under bonds of $1,5OO. His arrest was a very big surprise to those who knew him in town.

HOLY NAME FEAST
Fittingly Observed at St Francis
 Xavier's Church Yesterday.

The feast of the Holy Name, which occurred yesterday, had very fitting observance by the Holy Name soci- cities of the city at the St Francis Xavier church last night, the exer- cises consisting of solemn vespers, a sermon, reception of members into the organization and benediction of the blessed sacrament. The societies taking part represented the Immac- ulate Conception parish, St Patrick's, Sacred Heart, St Thomas, St Francis Xavier, St Joseph's, St Michaels of Waterville and St Johns of Water town.
 These with people from all parts of the city who crowded into the church made quite congregation. The off, cers at the vesper service were Father O'Brien of St Anne's parish, cele- brant; Father Traynor of St Michael's deacon; Father Fleming of St Francis Xavier, sub-deacon. The Rev. Father Curtin and Father Lamontagne were in the sanctuary. The senior choir, under of the director of Miss M. E. German, directoress, furnished music. The sermon was delivered by the Rev. M. J. Traynor and was a forceful and comprehensive discourse on the Holy Name. Twenty new members were received into the order. The exercises closed with benediction. John H. Moran of the Immaculate Conception acted as marshal of the parade from St Patrick's hall, East Main Street to the church on Bald win street.
