The Washington times., 1913-02-25

The people of Washington have made no complaint
against existing conditions in the liquor business.
They have found no fault with the manner in which
it is now controlled and regulated.
That these existing laws are adequate, and that the
liquor merchants of Washington are law abiding citizens,
is proved by the police records which show that during
the past ten years less than per cent of the men engaged
in the licensed liquor business have been aragned for any
infracion of the laws.
The Jones-Works Excise Bill is not the result of any
local agitation any local condition, but purely the effort
of the AntiSaloon Leaguean alien body without interest
investment in the District of Columba-to enforce their
views upon the people of Washington. -... IL.
But the measure introduced under the guise of regu
lating the traffic actually means prohibition.
The joker is in section two of the BILL which provides
that no license shall be granted allowed, maintained
within 600 feet of any public schoohouse, private school,
university, college, within 500 feet of any place of
worship
The average length of city square is 800 feet Actua!
measurements made by competent engineers show that
the various restrictions under this law would affect 4eO OF
the 497 existing places, leaving about unaffected.
But even these places could be put out of business
should the bill become effective. Because private school
which need consist of more than a teacher and A
couple of pups-coud be opened within the prescribed
limit and force the liquor store out of business, no matter
how long had been established.
The present law uses the term "house of worship
which church. The bill says "any place of
Worship" which any room even streetcorner
meeting which might be established with the object of
enforcing prohibition within the 5Oo-foot limit.
The bill further states that licensed druggist is not
required to have liquor license yet he may sell ntoxcat
ing liquors on doctors prescription. This of the
greatest evils in districts where prohibition is in force
The Washington times., 1913-02-25

cent of the houses and buildings not including saloons
hotels and clubs thereon used for business purposes
No license shall be issued within 1000 feet of the
grounds of the marine barracks, the colleges eng
neer barracks or the navy yard.
This law .han be in full force and effect from and
after its passage.
The passing of the Works Excise Bill means
prohibition for the District of Columbia Andsprohibiton
means:
- The loss of employment to 5000 men, working hard
ship on them and their families
The loss of millions of dollars worth of property and
natural falling off in the value of real estate
The loss of about million dollars of revenue to the
District which would have to be made up by extra taxa
ton.
1t would put the aw-abiding liquor merchants out of
business but would not decrease the number of drinkers
1t would mean that instead Of buying his liquor in
1egazed place under the regulation OF the law, the drnxer
would 60 to blindtigers and speakease-he would be-
come lawbreaker and deal with lawbreakeqs
Wherever prohibition has been enforced illegal places
for the sale of liquor have sprung up ;
AS proof that the people of Washington do not want
the Jones-Works bill to 60 into effect we give these facts:
The Commissioners of the District made an unfavor-
able report upon It,
The Chamber of Commerce passed resolution
against the bill by large majority.
The Central Labor Union, representing D, 600 work.
ingmen passed resolution against any change in the
present laws.
@ United German Societies, representing $500 resi-
dents and taxpayers, passed resolutions opposing it.
A petition signed by $4,000 adults, residents of the
District of Columbia, presented to the Senate
mee on the District of Columbia, against similar Ell
two years ago, which petition is still on file
THE MERCANTILE ASSOCIATION.
The Washington times., 1913-02-25

One of the most important and far-reachng changes
in the bill is that the consent of adjacent property owners
residents is NOT required to obtain license to sell
liquor. But a license CANNOT be granted, except by
unanimous action of the excise board when report ap
proving the granting thereof made to them by the chief
of police This practically places in the power of one mem
Der and the chief of police the opportunity of saying where
saloons shall be- in spite of the property owners and resi-
dents of a section
The bill opens great field for blaekmaers in the
clause which states That every wife, daughter, mother
father guardian having made the request of censee
not to sell give any person intoxicating liquors. who
shall be injured in person property or means of support
by any intoxicated person concerning whom such request
has been made in consequence of the noxcaon of
such person. shall have right of action for all damages
actually sustained in his her name, against any person.
individual or corporation who SHALL after such request has
been made by selling barerng, giving away otherwise
furnishing intoxicating liquors contrary to such request
have caused the intoxicaton of such person.
The statement made by the friends of the Jones'
Works bill that it permits 800 saloons is misleading be-
the various restrictions incorporated in the measure
will positively leave less than dozen of the already estab
shed barrooms-and these easily be eliminated Here
are some of the restrictions:
No saloon or barroom shall be licensed within so feet
of any other saloon or barroom.
No license shall be issued within 800 feet of any alley
way occupied by residences. Almost every square in
Washington has aeyway in which one or two families
reside.
No license shall be granted in any resident portion of
the city,
The excise board is to determine what is business

No saloon barroon shall be licensed any side of
any square, block tract of land where less than so per

As Gallagher explains he was on his

so desired he could come on to New

MAY FORM BRANCH
OF AMATEUR UNION
Federation Here Will Petition
New York A. A. U. for Sepa-
rate Local Association.

What may result in separate and
distinct branch of the Amateur Athletic
Union Is the action which Is expected to
be taken at the meeting of the District
Federation at the Y. NJ. c. \. tonight.
1t is understood that the District Fed
Grafton is meeting for the express
purpose of getting representation in the
Amateur Athletic Union, and will pass
resolutions asking the Amateur Athletic
Union through New York to recognize
and establish separate branch for the
District Of Columbia.
At the present time the majority of
athletes belonging to clubs In the Dis
trtct have been suspended by the South
Atlantic division Of the A. A. u, and
have been set down for period Of six
months. These men have fallen under
the ban for having taken part in track
meets, wrestling events, swimming
matches. and distance runs which have
not been under A. A. U. sanction.
Asks Separate Branch.
1t is believed by those backing the
movement that the District Is entitled
to separate branch of the Amateur
Athletic Union, and that in time the
sanction will be obtained just as the
South Atlantic division was established
several years ago as a separate and dis
tinct body from the Middle Atlantic
section.
The establishment of the District Fed
Grafton was the first move in breaking
away from the Amateur Athletic Union
and was calculated to bring to the Dis
trict a separate branch of the A. A. u.
according to those backing the move.
Practically all the athletic clubs in the
city are behind the federation and wish
to establish an A. A. U. branch for the
District
The federation is expected to take ac-
ton on the suspension of the athletes
who were laid down by the A. A. U.
Closely following upon the meeting to-
night Is the scheduled meeting of the
board of managers of the A. A. u,
which Is scheduled to take place at the
Carroll Institute next Wednesday night.
A. A. U. Is Forced.
Just what will be the outcome of the
Wednesday meeting is a matter of con-
lecture. The A 4. L.. board has not
declared its hand. and the federation
members say that the A. A. U. will
eventually be forced to give them repre-
sentation.
Several years ago when the athletes
In this District were dissatisfied with
the A. A. U. treatment they petitioned
Atlantic section. Aat that time the Dis
trict Of Columbia, Maryland. and Vir-
ginia were under the Middle Atlantic
section. and the matter was fought out
with the result that the South Atlantic
section was established.
The opposition to the South Atlantic
section now brings the athletes in the
District up against the proposition of
appealing to New York for District of
Columbia division of the A. A. u, and
those who are backing the District Fed
Grafton say they will gain their point.
