To WITHDRAW COLPOYS
Intimation |, Made, However, that
Executive will Stand by
His Selection.
NEWMAN CONFIRMATION LIKELY

Although request has been made direct
ly to President Wilson that he withdraw
his nomination OF John B. Colpoys as one
of the three Excise Commissioners, II was
strongly intimated last night that the
President would stand firm behind his
choice. While there is some bitter opposi-
ton to the appointment OF Mr.. Colpoys
Commissioner. II Is not believed that II
will be strong enough to defeat conhrma-
ton of either appointment by the Senate.
Oficials of the Anti-Saloon League Of
the District oppose Mr.. Colpoys' ap-
pointment on account of testimony given
by him before the Senate subcommittee
charged with the consideration OF the
Jones' Works bill.
Request that the President reconsider
his appointment of Mr.. Colpoys was made
verbally through Rudolph Forster, eXecu-
tive clerk at the White House. Andrew
Wilson, president of the Anti-Saloon
League: f. w. oyster, and Gen. w. S.
Shallenberger submitted the request, and
left copies of Mr.. Colpoys' testimony
before the Senate subcommittee with Mr..
Forster, for the President.
A mass meeting to protest against the
choice OF Mr.. Newman will be held at
Old Masonic Temple tonight. The or
ganizers of this meeting style themselves
the District of Columbia Home Rule Com
mittee.
Selection Of any man who is a resident
Of the District within the requirement
Of the law for Office of Commissioner, will
be agreeable to the committee.

GERMAN CLUBS
TO BE HIT HARD
Future Of Organizations Is
Doubtful Under Workings
of New Excise Law.
PROTEST BY SIMON WOLF
In Letter, He Declares the Rights of
the People Are Hampered
by the Measure.

There are probably no organizations
that feels so deeply the effect Of the new
excise law, which goes into force to-
morrow, as the German clubs and sing
ing societies, including the Saengerbund
and the Arion Gesang Verein.
The new law makes the future ex-
istence of these clubs a question of the
Rrayest importance to their members.
who have been accustomed to patronizing
them particularly on Sundays, when they
bring their wives and children and listen
to the musical programs enjoying their
beer.
A letter TO the German societies by
Simon Wolf, former Minister to Turkey,
and an honor member of the Saenger-
bund, created a deep impression, and is
in part as follows:
Dear Sir:
Il never believed that the day would
come during my lifetime when would
have to say vale to the rational enjoy
ment of Sunday at the dear old Saenger-
pund, but the law recently enacted by
Congress- makes it prohibitory for any
club Or association to enjoy themselves
as in their judgment is deemed best ana
conducive to bring about the real spirit
Of personal liberty. How the veterans OF
the Saengerbund, who also were veterans
in the civil war, and who have been sum
moned to their nnal rest "ouiu noiu W.
their hands in horror could they revisit
this mundane sphere. and be made cog
infant of this spirit of fanaticism, big
otry, and narroWness, that now not only
envelopes the District of Columbia ike
a pail, but is made the dominant political
factor all over the United States.
II can see no chance of reaction, eX-
Cept in the strict enforcement of the law
as it now stands for as Gen. Grant al
ways said: The only way to have
bad law repealed is to enforce it. The
hour will come when the the better sense
