ALEXANDRIA, VA, JUNE

The board of aldermen, in special ses-
sion last evening, refused to recede from
their position on the liquor license rate,
as passed by them last week, with
which the common council failed to con-
cur at the Monday meeting.
While not opposing several of the
amendments made to the bill by the
lower body, the aldermen stood firm on
the proposition to increase the licenses
of Wholesale dealers and shippers of
liquors out OF the city from $l75 to $225.
President Marbury expressed the opin-
ion that the finance committee had
worked long and faithfully on the bill
and made the motion that the board
nonconcur with the common council.
At this point Alderman Bill requested a
reconsideration of the section increasing
the retail dealers rate from $l25 to $3.50.
This was ruled out of order by the pres
ident
When. put to a vote Aldermen Ballen-
ger, Fitzgerald, and Brill opposed, and
Aldermen Ogden, Marbury, Summers,
and Fields favored Marbury's motion.
1t is probable that the matter will
not now be taken up again until the
next meeting of the council, Tuesday
June 1S, at which time, If no agree
ment can be reached, a committee on
conference may be appointed to arrive
at a rate agreeable to both bodies.

Ford. who accused Mintie Donahoe, of
Washington, the lodge organizer. of
slandering her fair rame in the COM
munity.
Sister" Ford claimed that Sister"
Donahoe was attempting to have her
expelled from the order on the grounds
that she had more than one living hus-
band. which, IT was explained, by ref
erence TO the ritual, was strictly pro-
hibited.
The Ford woman strongly denied the
accusation. From the testimony of the
other members, Lucinda was always
making trouble" To get at the truth
of the matter seemed impossible, and
Justice Cation dismissed the case.
