OPPOSE
PLAN TO LIMIT SALOONS
Report Adversely on Senator
Works Bill to Restrict Re-
taitLicenses to 100.

The District Commissioners today rec
commended adverse action on the bill OF
Senator Works. which was introduced
May Is, providing that no saloon should
be maintained within the District of CO.
lumbia except on recognized business
streets, that there shall he only 100 Ii
censes granted. that mo saloon, barroom
or other place where intoxicating liquors
are sold at retail shall be licensed, al
lowed or maintained nearer than three
squares of any alleyway occupied for
residence or places commonly called
slums
No limit is placed on the number of
wholesale liquor dealers by the Works
BILL but there is a restriction which
would limit them to doing business on
business streets. The Commissioners, fol-
lowing the advice of William P. Richards.
assessor, have reported that one of the
results of such a bill if enacted would
be to increase the wholesale liquor
houses to an enormous extent.
Objections of Commissioners.
The Commissioners say on this point,
referring to the limitation Of a saloon
within three blocks of a residence alley:
Should this section be eliminated. the
Commissioners would still question the
wisdom Of limiting to one hundred in
number the places for the retail selling
Of intoxicating liquor as that restric-
ton would tend largely to increase the
number of wholesale liquor selling
establishments, which is unlimited in
the bill, but would create a monopoly
that might prove prejudicial to the
proper enforcement Of the excise laws.
by affording opportunities for favorit-
ism engendering animosities. and gen.
orally giving occasion for adverse
criticism. 1t would greatly increase
might receive retail licenses. and
materially diminish the revenues of the
District of Columbia.
1.-THE Commissioners are Of the opinion
that places where intoxicating liquors are
sold are more promotive of indulgence
than the saloons where drinks are sold
at retail, for the reason that at the for
mer class of establishments any one of
age can purchase such liquors more
cheaply than at the saloons and in larger
quantity, and carry them to any part of
the District, where they may be con-
sumed under conditions which conduce to
more liberal qualification than Is the case
where they are drunk by persons stand
ing In front of the bar"
The Commissioners also report 1t is
their opinion that no matter how small
the number of saloons in the District may
be. the same amount of liquor will pass
to the thirsty ones from the bartenders.
The Commissioners report that they be-
lieye that the hundred saloons would still
do the business now done by the 500.

Is interested in anti-saloon movements in

CHICAGO MEAT PACKERS
MUST STAND TRIAL
Judge Carpenter Denies Mo-
tion to Quash Indictments
Under Sherman Act.

CHICAGO, June 1p.-Judge George A.
Carpenter in the United States district
court today denied a motion Of j. Ogden
Armour and nine other Chicago packers
for a rehearing Of their motion to quash
indictments charging violation Of the
Sherman antitrust act. This means the
packers must stand trial.
No written opinion had been prepared
by Judge Carpenter and he gave no
reason for his finding. 1t is now expect
ed the trial will be reached about next
October.
Based on Unreasonable"
The latest motion of the packers for a
rehearing Of their motion to quash the
indictments was based on recent decisions
Of the United States Supreme Court in
the Standard Oil and American Tobacco
Company cases in which the word .'un-
reasonable had been held within the
meaning Of the statute.
Counsel for the packers held that there
had been no reasonable" restraint Of the
packing industry and that new hearing
should be granted. They also pleaded
that the provisions of the Sherman act
were too indefinite to warrant the re-
turn of indictments or prosecution for al
legged violation of its inhibitions.
The next move In the case, 1t is said,
will be for the packers to enter a plea to
the charge in the indictments.
