To reorsanize the excise board entirely

Der of saloons to he licensed In the Dis
trict of Columbia be left to Congress. is
the present plan of the Commissioners.
From an authoritative source at the Dis
trict building il was learned today that
the Commissioners have about made up
their minds on these points, even with
the Investigation into the excise board
incomplete. However. the hearings In
the investigation will probably close
Monday or Tuesday. Frank J. Hogan,
attorney for Samuel T Kalbfus. will pro-
duce six more witnesses, the first of
which will testify MONDAY. when the
hearings arc resumed.
Mr.. Hogan has stated that he is prac-
tically sure his client will be entirely ex-
onerated by the Commissioners from the
charges presented by +. Oden Horst
mann, former inspector of the excise
board. Persons close to the Commits
sioners said today that this view will
probably be horne out in the Commission
ers final statement. Although the Com
mlSsioners have said officially they do not
recognize the Horstmann letter as
charges, 1t is said good authority
that Mr.. kalbfus will be given a clean
