He sits at the door and as the mem

the name and puts precise cross

away do not get cross; they get a

to get by Dick who wasn't crossed or
to stay away and not get circled. The

BOAT BARS CLOSED IN PORT
NO LIQUORS TO Be SOLD IN DIS
TRICT WATERS.
Promise of Excursion Steamer Own
ers to the Commissioners Settles
Much Mooted Question.

The river excursion boats have taken
the prohibition pledge before the District
Commissioners.
While they are in the District, they
will hoist the white flag of prohibition on
the masthead and give real life-sized
limitations Of water wagons afloat. Once
outside Of the Districts boundaries. the
white flag will probably be hauled down
on the boats that have we'll supplied bars.
and then will be quenched the thirsts of
passengers.
This promise of the river excursion boa t
owners to ''be good in the District fol-
lows an announcement made few days
ago that they would be prosecuted in
court If evidence was obtained that liquor
was sold on the excursion boats while
in District waters. Instructions were Is
sued by the District Commissioners to
hav Harbormaster ]. r. Sutton secure
evidence Of such action on two of the
Counsel James L. Pugh file cases in the
Police Court against the boat owners for
selling liquor without a license.
These cases. 1t was announced, were to
be friendly and for the purpose of deter
mining the jurisdiction of the excise
board and the police over the sale of
liquor on the river boats. Corporation
Counsel E H. Thomas took the view Of
the law that the excise board had no
power to issue license for the sale Of
liquor on a boat. He held further that
as all liquor selling in the District is
prohibited. except under licenses from
the excise board. the river boat owners
have no authority to sell liquor on their
boats, and Violate the excise laws If they
do.
Harbormaster Sutton began his work
of getting evidence several days ago:
but, following the announcement that
prosecutions are contemplated. the boat
owners have been writing letters to the
District Commissioners promising them
that they will not allow the sale of liquor
on their boats within the District.
Commissioner West, who had directed
this morning that no further steps will
be taken along that line. in view of the
pledges of the boat owners.

that attracts the eyes of every one. while
portation-so large an item ordinarily in
reaching the salt water--is almost nil In
this case. The car service from any part
of this city is convenient and regular: the
charge for round-trip passage Is re-
garded as most reasonable, and all Of the
attractions OF every summer resort are
offered. Hotel and eating facilities are
declared to be of the very best and as
reasonable as is consistent with high
