This morning there are seven less HQ-
uor establishments in the District than
there were last night-four less bar
rooms and three less wholesale houses
for yesterday was the beginning of the
license year, and the proprietors of the
seven establishments failed to file ap-
plication for renewal of license.
The law specifies that all establish
ments for which application for renewal
of license is not filed before o'clock on
November shall be closed by the police
at midnight on that date. When the
clock struck in the excise board room
at the District Building Chief Clerk
Roger Williams left his desk, and. OPEN
ing a large book in which applications
are recorded, announced that seven es-
tablishmnets would have to be closed at
midnight. Mr.. Williams refused to give
the names of the proprietors, as the law
provides that secrecy be maintained.
Nearly Half Hour Late.
District Building and asked where he
could find Roger Williams. The boy was
directed to the clerks office, where he
announced his desire of fling application
for the renewal Of the license of one OF
the seven establishments. But the law
prevailed and the boy went away sor-
rowfully.
So far 513 barroom and 124 wholesale
liquor licenses have been applied for.
Yesterday Charles c. Rogers, District
tax collector, received more than $4,000
in payment for licenses, mostly for the
sale of liquor.
Yesterday was the beginning OF the
license year for the conduct of practi-
Cally all businesses in the District.
Apothecaries, auctioneers, bankers, en-
ployment agents. dealers in markets,
proprietors of slot machines, proprietors
OF poolrooms, cattle dealers, commission
merchants, and scores OF other classes
of business men are required to make
application for licenses for conducting
their business on November ].
Last year S,6T licenses OF all kinds
were issued. So far only 200 applica-
tions for renewal have been made. Great
leniency is shown in all cases except
those OF licenses for liquor establish
ments. About December l prosecutions
will be conducted
Lunch Rooms Inspected.
The health department is busy with
its annual inspection of lunch rooms.
1ecessitated by the advent of the new
license year. Before licenses for oper-
ating lunch rooms are issued, the de-
partment has to inspect the establish
ments and make a report on conditions.
At present there are approximately 800
lunch rooms in the city. The work of
inspection will continue for about two
months.
Yesterday taxes on real estate in the
District for the fiscal year ending June
90, 1912, became due. Payments may be
made in two instalIments, on November
and May l. If payments are not made
before the first of the following June,
penalty OF per cent and a like pen
atty for each succeeding month is added.

WILL NOT SHELVE
VETERAN COPPERS
Sylvester Denies Report Of
Intended Shake-up.
PENSION FUND IS INADEQUATE
Men Grown Gray in Service Not TO
BE Removed Except Where In
efficiency Is Well Established,
Says Department Head-Changes
in Personnel Effective.

Mai Richard Sylvester, superintendent
of police, yesterday emphatically con-
tradicted the intimation made in an aft
ernoon paper to the effect that a policy
is now in vogue to remove the veteran
policemen who have become less eff
cient with advancing years. The super
intendent said that while young and act
i've men are to be appointed in the fu-
ture, no attempt will be made to sum-
marily remove the veterans.
I'VE can't afford to remove the vet
eran policemen" said Maj. Sylvester.
The present pension fund is so made
quate that tho men, If retired, would
not be able to live respectfully. We re-
move the old policemen only in cases Of
partial or entire disability"
A Delicate Question.
The superintendent was asked whether
on the force who have become inefficient
because of age.
That is a delicate question, and one
which 1 should prefer not to answer"
replied Maj. Sylvester. THE question of
removal is one which is given great con-
sideration. Veterans are removed only in
cases where their inefficiency is well
established.
IF we had an adequate pension fund.
matters would be different. We would
then be able to retire policemen after
they had reached a specified age, and
give them a pension large enough to
live on. Retirement would not then be
dreaded so much by the men. And be-
sides, the force could be maintained
much more efficiently. The lack of ade-
quate pension funds is a great hindrance
TO the work Of the department"
Changes I'm Personnel.
Yesterday morning several changes in
the personnel Of the department became
effective. Sergeant J. n. Barry, OF the
Tenth precinct, who for a long time
had been stationed at the loop just
this side of the bridge over Rock
Creek Park near one OF the entrances
to the Zoo, was detailed for duty at
the Police Court, vice Joseph Acton,
retired, the latter being one of the best
known bluecoats with an enviable rec
ord as policeman. Barry Is one OF
the veterans, having entered the sew
ice in 1867. For many years he was
stationed in the southwest section Of
the city.
Bicycle Policemen ]. f. Grant, of the
Fourth precinct, and W. Messer, of the
First precinct; Policeman w O. En-
brey, of the Third precinct and Police
man J. E. Armstrong, OF the Sixth pre-.
cinct, were detailed TO the detective
office at police headquarters. Policemen
Grant and Messer have been relieved
from bicycle duty.
Bicycle Policeman Leo Murray has
been transferred from the Fifth to the
Second precinct. and Bicycle Policeman
]. ]. Bourke from the Seventh to the
Tenth precinct. Bicycle Policeman ].
w. Pierson has been shifted from the
Second to the First precinct and BIZ
cycle Policeman J. A. Sullivan from the

ton the tourists will be whirled away
amid fiutter of waving fareweIls, bound
for New York, with its lights, lights,
lights, sights, sights, sights.
Then comes the hour when the life
dream of every one in the party is about
to be realized. When you Chamber up
the gangplank Of a floating palace for
the commencement of the ocean voyage,
from the time the Statue of Liberty is
passed and you wave good-by to Old
Glory, bobbing and fiutterIng from the
stern Of the pilot boat, until land is again
sighted, life will flow along like one
grand, sweet song. The sea air buoys up
your spirits to such an extent that you
are continually bubbling over with sup
pressed exuberance. Switchboard and
marathons round and round the prom
enade deck claim the interest Of the en-
ergetic, while an attractive parlor,
library, and music room will prove the
magnet for less athletic members Of the
party.
Poetry and romance have woven about
the sea an indefinable charm far more
alluring and enhancing than that which
lends itself to the glories Of the noun
tains and lakes, for through many CEN
turies in ,tuneful song and thrilling story
host of writer's have immortalized the
pillows and breezes of the briny deep.
Each Atlantic crossing becomes a voy-
age OF discovery. New sights, new WON
ders, new customs are ever in store and
the change of scene is so complete, the
interest so unhaging, as each bright day
unfolds, that when one returns home the
memory of so pleasant a trip, the added
vigor of body and mind, are by no means
the smallest recompense. The absolute
rest, the freedom from care, hundreds Of
leagues away, the outdoor salt air life,
and the luxuries and comforts not always
to be found ashore cannot fail to make
a strong appeal to each of The Herald
party and lend zest to the contemplation
in store for them when they have again
landed on terra firma at almost the foot
of the towering Vesuvius.

Every day at sea, on the Mediterra-
