OBJECTS TO BELLS RINGING
CALLED A NUISANCE BY NEIGH
BoR OF SUMNER SCHOOL.
Supervising Principal Nalle Believes
That Sentiment Of Residents
Should Be Ascertained.

Is the ringing Of bells every fifteen min
utes. night and day, to indicate the pass
age of time to the neighborhood nui-
sance?
That Is the question which was raised
by complaint received by the District
Commissioners and officials of the public
schools. The bells of the clock in the
tower Of the Sumner School are the
source Of the controversy.
Il live at l148 18th street northwest.
between L and NJ streets. very near the
Sumner Colored School building" wrote
j. r. Beall to the Commissioners. The
bell rings every fifteen minutes, day and
night. and it Is a great annoyance to the
whole family. We have resided in this
house for four years and cannot become
accustomed to it. We would be very
grateful If you would have it stopped"
When this was referred to Supervising
Principal J. C. Nalle, who has an Office
in the Sumner School. he replied:
THE bells in the tower of the Sumner
School ring the quarter hours as well as
the hour signals The tanitor also rings
the regular $50, 8:55 and o'clock bells.
THE tower bells were placed in the
tower upon the erection of the building.
thirty-nine or forty years ago, at q time,
no doubt, when many OF the homes In
this vicinity did not boast the luxury OF
timepiece, and was, therefore, the only
means these citizens had for knowing the
time. These conditions may not now ex-
ist. and the tolling Of the hours may not
now be necessary.
II have been in this division as an Of
ficer since September 1. 1908. and this is
the first complaint that has been brought
to my attention.
TT would seem that the thing to be de-
termined is whether the bad effect OF
ringing these bells, causing annoyance to
one resident. is greater than the conven-
ience afforded the many who live in this
vicinity. / would recommend, therefore,
that action be delayed until it is clearly
shown that the ringing Of these bells con-
stitutes a nuisance. If it does, then they
should be removed immediately
1t is now up to the Commissioners on
that ISSUE

SUNDAY GLASS FOR FAT MEN
Club Allowed to Sell Liquor In Sit
ting Room,

ting Room.
Members Of the Jolly Fat Mems Club
will be able to Quench their thirst today
the same as they did before on Sundays
before the excise board said they would
have to close their doors. The board
has modified its stipulation.
The application of the club for re-
newal of its liouor license was rejected.
After a rehearing on the application the
excise board agreed to permit the sale of
liquor in the club during the hours liquor
is sold in barrooms, prohibiting its sale
Sundays.
Yesterday afternoon the stipulation was
modified. Members are now to be per-
mitted to indulge in liquid refreshments
In the sitting rooms of the club, but not
at the bar
The board does not like the Idea Of
clubs having bars believing that bars
deprive such places of the character OF
clubs. as calculated to increase the liquor
traffic to such an extent that such busl-
ness ceases to be incidental to the con-
duct of the club.
1t is for the purpose of preventing al
legged barroom business in clubs that the
excise board has taken active an in
terest in the club business this year and
has tried to decrease the number OF or
ganization, which, it considers, are not
bona f1de clubs.
