LIQUOR DEALERS SLOW
WITH LICENSE MONEY
In No Apparent Hurry to Deposit
Cash With Excise
Board.

Liquor dealers are slower this year
than usual in depositing their money for
licenses. The new liquor license year
begins November 1, and under the rules
of the excise board, deposits are not ac-
cepted utnil October I. Usually there is
a rush of APPLICANTS during teh early part
OF October. but this year the saloonkeep-
ers do not seem to be in so great hurry
as usual to get rid of their money Only
thirteen dealers have made their deposits
thus far.
1t is predicted that there will be a de-
crease in the number of saloons during
the coming year. some interested persons
saying that at least six dealers will close
their places at the end of the present
license year.
Twelve applications for transfers of
licenses pending before the excise
board. In most of the instances the ap-
plications represent efforts to make sales,
while In a few instances the dealers mere
ly want to change the location of their
places of business. Notice was recently
given that applications for transfers OF
licenses will have to be filed before Octo-
Der 20 IN order to get any consideration
before the close of the present license
year.

Quantrell and Jesse James, who preceded
him in border warfare. He says:

moment, denied their agent, the Harpers

would have been the result. The notion
that there was any large. cotemporary
sentiment behind it is an er-thougnt

dramatic episode which has lost some of
its horror and seems to have gained
somewhat of glory through the untoward
events that followed, Yet, stripped of all
surplusage and reduced to the simple

received several requests from libraries in
other large cities for copies of the 1900

tories for 1909
The Washington Library purchases six

-Four of these are exchanged after they
become out of date, but the requests for
exchange are numerous.
AS the library wishes to have teh direc-
tory of every large city i'm its reading

ness firms. in Washington will send in
copies of the 1909 directory, and of the
1910 issue when 1t has been replaced in

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. October SC. P.
Grandfield, first assistant postmaster gen.
eral, who was in the city today. expressed
the opinion that the Indianapolis post
Office as far as its arrangements are con-
cerned, is the finest he has seen.
He said he believed it would be we'll to
incorporate the same scheme of arrange
ment in the new hree-million-dollar post
Office that will be built in Washington
The committee discussed the question Of
lighting facilities in the working room
The members seemed to think the pillars
necessary to the system are no obstruc-
ton to the clerks and carriers, and that
such a system will be used in the Wash
ington office to obtain the "sawtooth'' eff
feet. as this allows a greater amount of
lighting space than a room arranged
without the supports.
To gather ideas to be incorporated in
the new post Office the committee with
which Mr.. Grandfield came to this city
is visiting some of the larger post Offices
in the country. In addition to Mr.. Grand
field there are in the committee N A.
