BAN UPON THE GROW[ER
NOT UNANIMOUS ACTION
Samuel T. KaIbfus Sole Op'
ponent of Excise Boards
Regulation.

The action Of the excise board in adopt
ing a regulation prohibiting the continu-
ance of the "growler' trade In the Dis
trict of Columbia after January 1 next
was not the result of a unanimous de-
cision by the members o. that body. 1t
was learned today. Samuel T. Kalbfus
opposed the plan. but the other members
Of the board, including Assessor William
P. Richards, Matthew Trimble and Alex
ander Mckenzie, voted in favor OF IT, ac-
cordine to announcement made.
II is understood that the majority or the
hoard members voted in favor OF the ano-
l;tion of the "growler" trade, or the
method of purchasing beer at saloons IN
buckets or pitchers. so that 1t may be
consumed at q place other than wnere
the sale is made because representatives
Of the ,iuuor interests as well as the Anti
saloon League favored the plan.
Basis Of Opposition.
The opposition of Mr.. Kalbfus. it is
said. was based on the belief that i'm
movement of the liquor traffic In the
District of Columbia would not be effect
ed through elimination Of a custom under
which q man may purchase Deer AT Sa-
loon. but drink it at home.
No protests against the going into Ell
feet OF the boards order were received
today. but it is believed that the plan
will be opposed by many consumers.

STRONG FORT WANTED
TO GUARD WASHINGTON
Gen. Bixby Urges Establish
ment of Adequate Defense
at Cape Henry.

A great fertilization at Cape Henry,
with guns which would sweep the mouth
Of the Chesapeake bay and stand as an
efficient guard against attacks on the
city of Washington by a hostile fleet,
was asked for by Gen. w. II. Bixby,
chief of engineers, u. S. A., who ap-
peared before the fortiications subcom-
mittee Of the House appropriations COM
mittee today. The meeting was an ex-
ecutive one.
The amount of money asked for in the
initial appropriation for the proposed for
tificatior Is $15O,OOO. which would per-
haps do little more than buy the site
which the army wants for the purpose.
This amount is but one Of the proposed
appropriations which the army officers
want, and altogether the new projects
proposed by them would cost almost
double the amount of the Notifications
bill for the present year. The total of
the estimated needs Of the coast defenses
for the United States and island posses
sions. excluding the isthmian canal,
amounts to $7,OO0, ,SS4, while the present
appropriation act carries a little over

MAI. CHESTER HARDING
MAY SUCCEED JUDSON
Maj. Edgar Jadwin Also Is
Mentioned for Engineer
Commissioner.

The President practically having con-
cluded to retain Col. Spencer Cosby as
superintendent of public buildings and
grounds instead of making him Engineer
Commissioner of the District to succeed
Col Judson, 1t is said to be probable that
Maj. Chester Harding, Corps of Engi-
neers. will be the next Engineer Com
missioner. The selection is said to lie
between Maj Harding and Mai Edgar
Jadwin. with the chances at present in
favor of Maj. Harding
The fact that Maj. Harding already has
served more than five years with the Dis.
trict government counts strongly in his
favor. He was assistant to the Engineer
Commissioner of the District from May
4. 1901, to October 1. 1906 and made a
highly creditable record, besides making
many friends in the District. He was
born In Mississippi, but was appointed a
cadet at the Military Academy from Ala.
bama. He was graduated near. the head
of his class in June, 1889. and was ap.
pointed to the Corps of Engineers. Since
then he has. rendered important service
at Chicago. on the Mississippi river. al
West Point at Narragansett Bay. Al
Grand Rapids. Mich, In this city and or
the Panama canal.
He has been associated with the ereat
work on the Isthmus Of Panama sine,
August. 1907. and is SO engaged at pres
ent. He Is the principal assistant Of Col
Sibert the engineer officer in charge O.
the Atlantic division Of the canal includ
ing the Gatun dam and locks and termi
nails.

sible successor of Col. Judson in thi,
city, is one Of the assistants of Gen

Swind,es Perpetrated on Women.

BOSTON. December 11.-Extensive
operations of de luxe boog agents in Bos-
ton and vicinity were investigated today

prominent women. who claim they were
swindled, would testify.

spiracy were returned by the grand jury
last Friday against three agents, Walter
V. Dunton. Frank T. Daniels and George
NJ. Fisher. The men pleaded not guilty
when arraigned and furnished bonds of

The German embassy desires it to be

any way Of any OF the recently pub
lished verses, the authorship OF which
Is attributed to American army officers
rejecting upon the German military
system.
In the case of an effusion OF that kind
attributed to Capt. Steunenberg, the
War Department acted entirely upon
it's own responsibility in admonishing
the offlcers to refrain from such pub
Ucatfons. But that was done entirely
without reference to the German en-
bassy, which made no complaint. and
the same statement is true of a more
recent publication OF similar charac-
ter.

here. indicate a formidable European op-
position to any attempt by this govern
ment to extend the operations OF the
Sherman antitrust act beyond the con-
fines of the United States.
1t is known that the British embassy
is closely watching the developments in
the pending suit against the transatlan-
tic steamship lines. though 1t is not ex-
pected to enter a formal protest against
that attack upon British shipping inter-
ests until the legal proceedings come to
an end with a decision against the Brit
ish companies.
MonopoIies in Europe.
The German government also is moving
toward the creation of a monopoly in the
domestic sale of petroleum regardless OF
implied warnings that this might in some
way fall within the scope of the Sher-
man antitrust act. and the French and
1tdian ana austrian governments are
administering their tobacco monopolies
without the slightest fear OF the outcome
of the investigation about % be made by
a select senatorial committee. All these
governments are proceeding along paral-
lei lines. though, of course, there Is no
external evidence OF concerted action up
to this point.
No Reply for Several Weeks.
The British government note has been
discussed informally by President Taft
and his cabinet, but IT was said that
until Secretary Knox had time to study
it at length, and probably had outlined
his reply, it would not be taken up for
mally. That probably will not be for sew
eral weeks.
1t was intimated today that President
Taft. consistent with his attitude as
principal champion of arbitration OF dis
putes between nations might recommend
submitting to The Hague Englands pro-
test against free passage of American
ships through the Panama canal. should
he and Secretary Knox not hold the ques-
tion a purely domestic and internal one,
and therefore not arbitrable.
