OBJECTIONS TO ISSUE Of
LICENSE FOR HOTEL BAR
Protest Filed by President of
George Washington Univer-
sity and Others.

Admiral Charles H. Stockton. president
of George Washington University: Rev
DR.. Wallace Radcliffe, pastor Of the New
York Avenue Presbyterian Church.; AL
bert E. Shoemaker attorney for the Anti
Saloon League. and others appeared be-
fore the excise board this morning and
protested against the issuance of a liquor
license to w. w. Eisenhower. president
of the Fredonia Hotel Company, at 1921
II street northwest.
Admiral Stockton stated that he was
charged with the responsibility of look
ing after pupils and others at the uni
versitN He wanted, to voice his objec-
| ton to the issuance. of the license. he
explained. saying the establishment Of a
barroom in the hotel would mean the
fianking Of the educational institution
and hospital by saloons, the Montrose
Hotel on the west and the Fredonia on
| the east
Regarded as Menace.
The president of the institution went
into detail in the matter of what is done
in the educational institution, and said he
thought the establishment of a drinking
place adjoining the building would be
menace to those engaged in the school
work. Such a place, he said. would be
offensive to some and probably tempting
to, others, and he deemed it his duty to
place the responsibility on the shoulders
of the excise board.
DR.. Radcliffe. DR.. Elmer Wiber and Ed
ward Tarring also spoke in opposition to
the granting of the application. Respond
Ing to a statement that the hotel COM
pany intended to conduct quiet and re-
spectacle place, Thomas P. Keene said
ne thought there were few, If any. sa-
looms respectable and quiet.
Beer in Dissecting Rooms.
The establishment of saloon in the
hotel. Mr.. Keene said, would no doubt
mean that the clink of the glasses and
the odor of liquor would prove annoying
to communicates in the New York Ave-
nue. Presbyterian Church. DR.. Wiber ad.
mitted that he had seen beer taken into
dlSSectlng rooms at night, and, he stated
the possibility of such thing should be
guarded against.
Mr.. Tarring complained that the notice
or the excise board had not been posted
IN conspicuous place. but Assessor Rich
been properly posted 1t was placed at
the entrance to the hotel.
Attorney Shoemaker contends that 1t is
not within the power of the board to
grant a saloon license within. the 4OO-foot
limit of a church, although, he admitted,
q, former corporation counsel had taken a
contrary view. He is DESTROYS of having
the" question determined by the present
corporation counsel

Plea Made for Hotel Company.

On behalf of the hotel company Presi-
dent Danenhower and his attorney, NJ. p.
Sullivan, explained that the hotel COM
pany intends to do only bona fide liquor
business, and that the place will be con-
Quoted quietly and respectfully. They
thought the business would not prove OBJ
jectionable.
Responding to a question asked by one
of the protestants, Chairman Richards
said that hotel license gives its holder
more privileges than are enjoyed by the
holder of an ordinary barrOom license.
While the holder of the hotel license
has to close his barroom at midnight, he
explained, he has the right to continue
| to dispense liquor at a later hour to the
bona fide guests of the place.
| Admiral Stockton said he had known
of the application for the license having
| been made only about forty-eignt hours
| before he appeared to enter protest.
He asked for time to consult A. 8. Wor-
thington. counsel for the university, and
the board announced that it would take
| the matter under advisement

Quotations From the Law.

Mr.. Shoemaker referred to section 16 Of
the excise law, which provides:
THAT license for any of the purposes
specified in any section of said act shall
not be granted to any person to conduct
such business within four hundred feet of
a public schoolhouse, private school or
house of religious worship, measured be-
tween the nearest entrance to each by the
shortest course of travel between such
place of business and any schoolhouse
private school or house of religious wor-
ship, except in such places of business as
were located and licensed at the date of
the said act or previous to the erection or
occupation OF such schoolhouse, private
school or place of religious worship: Pro-
vided, That no hotel hereafter established
shall be licensed that has less than TWEEN
ty-f1ve rooms for guests, and all acts and
parts of acts inconsistent herewith are re-
peaied."
Attorney Shoemaker says applicants for
barroom licenses in hotels have relied on
| section . of the act, which says that any
| established hotel or tavern having twenty
chambers for lodging guests shall always
have the right to obtain for itself a
license for a barroom on complying with
the provisions of the act. He argued that
it is impossible for the Fredonia sdolei
Company to comply with the provisions
Of the act, a church being within the
prescribed limit.
