Negotiations Looking Toward
Representation.

cable message was received yester-
day by John Barrett, Of the Pan-Ameri-

Industrial and commercial life OF Ger

friend of the Emperor, and one OF the
most influential business men Of Ger
many. IL was stated had taken the lead
in an effort TO raise large guarantee to
insure the success OF the movement. and
had announced that his steamship line
will offer special freight rates TO ex'
hibitors.
Meetings are being held Of possible eN'

ANOTHER PROBLEM PUT
UP BY new EXCISELAW
Corporation Counsel Now Working on
Liquor License Tangle
Presented.
LABOR DAY IS EMBARRASSING

What is the exact amount Of time re
naming in which liquor dealers may file
applications for renewal OF licenses?
This is another complication Corpora
ton Counsel Thomas must straighten
out
From the beginning, the Jones-Works
bill has been unusually fertile in raising
questions, but sometime ago the corpo-
IA ton counsel and his assistants thought
that they had, at last, gotten a stranSie-
hold on all of its doubtful points Trey
remained in this persuasion until yester-
day, when il was brought 10 the atteH-
ton of their Office that the Commission
ers were undecided whether noon OF
next Saturday must mark the close OF
the period in which license renewal ap-
plications may be filed. Corporation
counsel is studying this new situation.
Under the Jones-Work measure appli-
cations must be filed on or before Sep
tember l, which this year falls on Labor
Day, a holiday. The District code OF law
provides that Saturday afternoons In the
District shall be legal holidays for all
purposes. This would seem TO mean that
five and one half days remain in which
LIQUOR dealers may file their applications.
or that all applications must be filed
on or before noon OF August 30.
Twenty-Five applications for renewal CT
retail licenses and five applications for
renewal OF wholesale licenses have been
made to DR.. William Tindall. secretary
Of the Board of Commissioners. since this
extra work was turned over to him by
order of the Commissioners.

BURLESON Is AFTER
GERMAN SWINDLER
Fraud Order Issued Against Hambur-
ger Said to Be Running
Lottery.

Postmaster General Burleson yesterday
issued a fraud order against Johann Ad
Wiener, OF Hamburg, Germany, who Is
said to be engaged in conducting lot
terry scheme. Wiener has been sending
his literature broadcast throughout the
United States. setting forth the enor'
GUS prizes that may be won by those
holding the lucky numbers.
The Postmaster General stated that
as the law expressly rorDids the use or
the malls for such purposes, he intends
to prevent the mailing OF this class oil
matter. Many other foreign concerns
have been fioouIng the country with
similar alluring advertisements which
are calculated 10 play upon the minds OF
unsophisticated people. Congress IN en-
acting the laws OF September 49, 1880,
and March 2, 1875, recognized that the
element OF chance played such large
part in lottery schemes that thousands
Of people who had been in the habit OF
buying tickets were really oeing swIndied
out OF their money.
The Postoffice Department. stated the
Postmaster General, would continue 10
do all in its power TO stop the use OF
the United States mails for these fraud
uIent schemes.

COMMISSIONERS PLAN
VISIT TO PARK VIEW
District Heads VIII Make Tour of
Inspection to that Section
Next.

Park View probably will be the next
section OF the District to be visited by
the Commissioners, in pursuance of their
determination TO learn all about the
needs OF the various communities frst
hand. The Commissioners expect to
visit this section early this week. John
&. McGrath, president OF the Park View
Citizens Association, VIII accompany the
Commissioners on their inspection tour.
The improvement which the people Of
Park View have worked for most deter
minedIy is the construction Of school
building in their locality the need OF
which they sought to demonstrate TO the
old Board OF Commissioners by taking
an accurate census or the school chill
dren OF their community last year. Inc
former Commissioners included an item
for the building desired by the people of
Park View in their estimates, but this
was stricken out by Congress. The in
creased need OF greater school faculties
probably will I've the chief matter TO be
brought to the attention of the Commits
sioners by Mr.. McGrath.

HANDS CRACKED AND BLEp

st. Clair, Mo.--My trouble began
about fifteen years ago. 1t was what
some claimed eczema The form the
disease worked under was a breaking
out with watery blisters on my hands
which would then dry and scale, and
then would follow the trouble OF
cracking and bleeding, also itching
and hurting. My hands were disfg-
ured at the time, and sore. The trou-
BILE was very annoying, and disturbed
my sleep. This last February it was
ever so much worse than before. I
did not do all my work on account of
the condition of my hands. L could
not put them in water without max
ing them worse. I tried a lot of homo
remedies, also salves and liniments
that claimed to be a cure for the
trouble. but 1 did not obtain a cure.
AT last I saw the advertisement for
Cutfcura Soap and Ointment. I sent
for a sample. I thought they would
cure, SO / sent for a ffty-cent box Of
Cuticura Ointment and some Cuti-
cura Soap. A doctor advised me to
keep ahead with the C%uticura Soap
