TOM CARR GETS
 LICENSE RENEWAL
County Commissioners An nounce Decision After Broad Street Entrance Is Closed.

Thomas Carr, whose griI1roon and cafe at Broad and Cannon streets, is one of the best known places in the city, has been granted a renewal of his liquor license, in spite of the re- monstrance by the rector and war dens of Trinity, Episcopal church, which adjoins Carr's property. The county commissioners gave their deci- sion this afternoon.
 They would not agree to grant a re- newa1, however, until Carr had closed the Broad street entrance to his cafe. This door was within a few feet of the Trinity parish house entrance and the church officials objected to it very strongly.
 This course of action was suggested to Carr and he was glad to accept the hint. He has put a high wire screen across the Broad street entrance and for additional security has adorned it with a huge paddock The connis- sioners viewed the premises this af- ternoon to see if Carr had taken the proper action and when they saw the entrance was closed, they decided to allow the license renewal.
 The remonstranoe against Carr was heard several wel0s ago. Rev. Father Gomph, rector of Trinity, testified that members of his church com plained about the proximity of the saloon.

 of Turkey fo give all but the ehrines of Adrianople is the basis on which peace eventually will be made. The The greatest obstacle in the way of the KaTniI Pasha cabinets efforts to make peace was. opposition from the whole Ottoman empire against giving the holy city to Christians. The Mos lens could not bring themselves to approve total surrender. The propos- al to cede to the allies the business and residential portions of Adrfanople while Turkey retains those portions where Moelem shrines are built cuts the Gordian knot.
 The note of Turkey to the powers refuses to give up the Aegean Islands but 1t is believed that Turkey will be wiling to give some of the islands if allowed to retain those lying con- rnandingly close to their shores.

KING PROPOSES MORE EXCISE LEGISLATION Fairfield Representative
 Would Punish Frequent
 CTS of Unlicensed Places
By Our Staff Correspondent

Hartford, Jan. 3O.+Representative Clitus H. King of Fairfield introduc- ed a bill today making it a crime to frequent a place where intoxicating liquors are unla3wfully~ sold. This bill is aimed at the So-calIed clubs where liquor is dispensed without a, license, and where convictions are often diff cult to obtain.
 MT. King argued that it was worse to frequent a place where liquor is sold without a license than to be found in a regularly licensed place at unlawful hours.
 Another bill from the Fairfield member empowers the prosecuting of fcialS to cite into court the owner of a place where liquors may be seized in raids. This is aimed to obviate the custom of taxing costs for raids where no arrests are made, upon the town.
