English License Bill.

London.-Chancellor OF tho Ex-
chequer Asquith introduced the licens-
ing bill in the House OF Commons to-
day. This is the principal government
measure for the present session of
Parliament. and involves vast money
and labor interests. The capital invest
ed in licensed property in this country
is not less than OO.O0O,OO0. while
over 2. 100000 people are employed in
the traffic.
Briefly, the bill provides for the con-
pulsory reduction within specified
period and on a uniform scale of the
number OF saloon licenses throughout
the country. The number of saloons TO
be licensed is based mainly on the
density o: the population.
In cities II Is proposed to allow one
saloon for every $50 inhabitants and in
the country districts one saloon for
every 400 persons. This regulation, 1t
is estimated. will wipe out In the neigh
| p'hOod OF 30 900 licenses. about one
third CT the present total
The bill proposes that this reduction
be effected within twenty years. The
system II compensating those entirely
deprived of their licenses is to lapse
a.ter period oil fourteen years from
the time the act goes into force and
an end will thus be put to the vested
interests in licenses. Local option is
TO govern the issuance of new licenses
and a majority of the parochial cleo
tors is sufficient to prohibit the grant.

years, at the expiration of which new
vote may be taken.
Chancellor Asquiths bold and dras-

denunciation in the opposition press.

The tremendous strength of the
brewing interests throughout the coun-
! try will he brought to bear IN an en-
deavor to prevent the passage of the
bill or to obtain an extensive amend
ment. especially in the direction OF Sc

Denvcr.-Informatio that Thomas
E. Beans. a well known Colorado min.
ing man, was mysteriously killed at
Gold Circle, Nevada, Wednesday night,
has revealed the fact that about the
middle OF the month Beans had long
race with some prospectors whom he
beat to a rich mineral claim by twenty
minutes. Although the telegram an
nouncing his death stated only that
no clue to the murderers had been dis
covered, A. P. Mackey Of Denver be-
lieves that letter sent to him when
Beans made his location will offer the
Gold Circle authorities clue which
may prove to be correct one. He be-
lieves that the men who raced with
Beans to locate upon the claim had
something to do with his death.
