GOOD TEMPLARS PROTEST.
Sale Of Liquor to Young Women Sc
verely Condemned.

Emphatic protest against the conditions
existing In Washington by which young
girls are permitted not only to enter
places where liquor is sold by actually
10 purchase and drink intoxicants was
registered at the regular monthly meet
ing last night of the executive committee
OF the Grand Lodge Of the District Of
Columbia, International Order of Good
Templars. The committee expressed the
belief that the excise board Is endowed
with sufhcient power to terminate, or at
least to regulate, this sort of traffic.
In a. resolution adopted The Evening
Star was commended for bringing these
matters so foreibly to the attention of the
people of Washington and to the Con-
gress." and it was also agreed that a cali
should be issued Ito all local friends of
temperance reform and to all who
desire the welfare of the National Capt.
tai to urge upon Congress the favorable
consideration and early passage of the
Gallinger-Bennet bill for the better regu-
latlon of the liquor traffic in the District
OF Columbia
Ihls bill. 1t was explained, was prepared
and introduced at the request of the ma
ttonal legislative department Of the Inter-
national Order of Coed TempIars, and it
Is claimed its provisions will materially
strengthen the present law against the
sale of liquor to minors. The proposed
measure specifically prohibits the serving
OF liquors to women in saloons or else
where In the city of Washington, except
to bona hde guests with meals in the din
ing rooms Of regularly licensed hotels.
In behalf of the Order Of Good Tenn
plars the committee was unanimous in
urging an Improvement In conditions "for

HOPE FOR SETTLEMENT
AGREEMENT EXPECTED IN
PHILADELPHIA CAR STRIKE.
Question Of Reinstatement Principal
Hitch in Bringing Directions
and Men Together.

PHILADELPHIA, March 1s.-Although
yesterdays many conferences were APP
parentIy fruitless, all hope of an early
settlement OF the street car strike has
not been abandoned. The principal hitch
in bringing the Philadelphia Rapid Transit
directors and the men together is over
the question of reinstating all tho
strikers, including the 10 men who were
dismissed before the strike was declared.
II an agreement can be reached on this
question it is believed the union will in
struct all its men to return and then ap-
point committees to take up grievances
with the company.
The conferences held during the last
two days have been between the union
leaders and parties interested in peace.
The rapid transit company has not been
represented. but Is being kept informed OF
what Is occurring at the meetings. AS
soon as the peacemakers can draw con-
cessions from each side SO as to have
them meet on common ground 1t Is prob
able negotiations will be opened directly
between the men and the company.
From the employers point OF view the
general strike situation is q little better
than 1t was Men are slowly returning
in some industries. but the number still
idle Is large. President Greenawalt OF
the State Federation of Labor has an
nounced that the statewide strike win so
into effect Monday. unless the street car
strike Is settled before that day.

Comments of Citizens.
The following are comments upon the
dangers to youth in the non-enforcement
Of law made in letters to The Star by
citizens of Washington:
To the Editor of The Star:
1t appears to the writer that the blame
sale of liquor to minors should be placed,
not on the excise board nor the police
nor the courts. but on the law itself,
which embodies i'll its phraseology a de-
vice for making laws unenforceable which
g we'll known to lawmakers.
Quoting from The Stars statement the
penalty paragraph of the law reads: ANY
person knowingly violating provisions Of
this paragraph shall be amenable to a
fine of SO or Imprisonment :"
The single word knowingly" obviously
makes the law difficult, ii not imposs. BILE,
of enforcement, or, as 1t is commonly
called, "toothless.' All violator needs
to do to obtain immunity is to maintain
ignorance of the age of those who buy
drinks, as 1t is impossible to prove such
knowledge.
For contrast compare the recent prompt
liquor Illegally to an Indian. Evidently
this is not toothless law. C. E. P.
To the Editor Of The Star:
1t Is conclusive, from reading The
Stars account of the violations of the
excise law, and those lamentable scenes
taking place in the saloons in this city,
that the law is faulty.
The system of prosecution seems to be
defective. The most effectual remedy
that can be applied to prevent future
violations of the excise law Is for Con-
gress to enact the Gallinger- bill
providing for the codification of the ex-
else law in the District of Columbia.
The Star in Bringing this matter before
the public. deserves the praise and ap-
probation of the citizens.

.PEK|NG REPORT DOUBTED
CHINA NOT THOUGHT TO HAVE
GIVEN UP RAILROAD PLAN.
State Department Officials Do Not
Believe Russia's Opposition Has
Had Any Effect.

State Department officials do not fully
credit the published statement from Pc
king that the Chinese government has de-
cided to abandon it's plan of building the
Chin Chow-Aigun railroad because of the
opposition Of Russia. That question is I'M
derstood here to be still held In allegiance.
Some weeks ago Russia submitted to the
nations interested, including the United
States. a proposition looking to the aban-
donment of the Chin Chow road in favor
of one much flu ther west, through Mon
golia, but Russia did not indicate that it's
decision against the Chin Chow road was
final
Japan, however, has recently given her
full assent and cordial support to the plan
for the construction of the Chin Chow
Aigun road, conditioned upon being per-
mitted to participate in financing the en-
terprise, with the United States and the
other powers, and allowed to construct a
branch line connecting the South Man
churian road with the projected one.

South Manchurian, and Taonanfu, on the
chin Chow line. Russia's objection is said
to be the only obstacle in the way of a
positive understanding to proceed with
plans looking TO the speedy Inaugural
ton OF that work. The State Depart
ment officials here express the hope that
she may ultimately be induced to with
draw her opposition.
It is known that one Of China $ main
easons for favoring the construction OF
the Chin Chow road is that 1t will en-
able her to carry out her long-cherished
design to colonize northern Manchuria.
rhe rroposition suggested by Russia for
q line much farther west does not con-
tain colonization advantages equal to
