J0NES-WORKS LAW
SHARPLY CRITICISED
Resolution of District Dele
gates Adopted by German
American Alliance.

The enactment of the jones' orks ex-
of bar in any of the clubs of the Dis
trict of Columbia Sunday. is recited in
the preamble of a resolution denouncing
as ''unsound and un-American' any
legislation that abr:dges the personal
liberty of the individual or curtails the
Godgiven rights of associations which
are organized for legitimate purposes
from enjoying themselves in rational,
decent and respectable manner The
resolution was unanimously adopted by
the National German-American Alliance
of the United States of America. which
has just closed its seventh biennial SEES
sion in st. Louis.
In the resolution the active co-opera-
ton and support of all organizations in
irrespective of creed or nationality, is
asked to the end of preventing the election
of any candidate to any Office, local, state
or national, who Is in favor of legislation
affecting these rights.
The resolution was offered by the dele
gates from the United German Societies
of the District of Columbia, headed by
Martin Wiesand, president Of the local
organization.
The preamble sets forth that the Dis
trict of Columbia is peculiarly situated
as Tar as legislation is concerned, and
that its citizens, although paying taxes,
are disfranchiSed, exercise no suffrage
and are simply, although American citi-
Zens, vassals. Reference is made to
the excise law recently enacted for the
District by Congress as more drastic
and un-American than any that has ever
been fofsted upon any community
Penalty Puritanical.
''OrganiZa TONS the preamble states.
such as the Turnverein, the Arion. the
Saengerbund. the Army and Navy Club,
the Cosmos Club, the Metropolitan Club
and kindred associations, which have been
organized for legitimate intellectual and
social purposes, some of them for more
than seventy-five years, are deprived, In
consequence of this legislation, from en-
joying themselves, as they have hereto
fore, in rational manner on Sunday,
thus depriving large number of men,
women and children, who during the week
cannot have these intellectual, social and
musical evenings, from enjoying them on
the only evening given to them"
1t denounces the law as not only drastic
in this particular respect but the punish
ment inflicted for its violation as equal to
any OF the Puritan laws of New England
a century ago, and sets forth the argu-
ment that the effect of the law is to slim
ulate and encourage its violation, and that
instead OF decreasing the alleged number
of drunkards drastic legislation increases
the number and drives men, IS the result
of resentment against the evasion of per-
sonal liberty, to do the very opposite of
what Is contemplated by the law

New Budget Does Not Call for Any

Although the Commissioners have at

for the needs Of the District of Columbia
during the next fiscal year and for i'm
provements. the budget now being pre-
pared may call for total appropriation
OF considerably less than that amount.
The District heads are not endeavoring
to estimate up TO the fun amount of
money they figure will be forthcoming
from the District revenue. plus an equal
amount to be advanced by the federal
government under the half-and- half plan.
and the appropriation to be requested
may fail under that of last year, which
was S12,739. 1890.
The last board of Commissioners was
forced to revise its estimates In order
to bring the total within the amount
available, but the present board, il is
anticipated will not be required to do
this
No Large improvements.
The budget now being prepared does
not call for any large improve

for the belief held by number Of local
officials that the total amount of the
items will not Ce much, il any, greater
than that carried in the last estimates
The prediction may wholly fail to ma

Commissioners will no. have a definite
idea as to how much money they want
