EXCISE BOARD GIVES
SHAPIRO A HEARING
SaIoonist Appears to Show
Cause Why License Should
Not Be Revoked.

Following his conviction on the
! charge of selling liquor to a miDor,
Herman Shapiro, proprietor of whole
sale liquor house at IS L street north
west, appeared before the excise board
today TO show cause why his license
should not be revoked.
Shapiro pleaded guilty in the Pcllcs
Court November 20 to the charge OF
selling beer to Simpson Brock, eighteen
years old, colored, and paid fine OF
500. Brock was convicted of misrep-
resenting his age in order to OBTAIN
liquor and was sentenced to hfteeh
dayS in he workhouSe.
Precinct Detective Harry Evans anu
Policeman William Wright of the sixth
precinct testified before the excise
tDday TO Shapiro's arrest and his ac,
acknowledgement that his clerk had SOLO
liquor 20 .he boy. In defense, Shaplro
said that he previously had empioyeo
the boy, WHO gave his age as = years
He entered a plea of guilty IN tne
Police Court, he said, rather than pay
a large lawyers fee. Several witnesses
testified to Shapiro's good character.
The board reserved decision.
This is the first case of conViction
OF n licensee under the new excise Ia"
the board has had to consider Secuon
13 of the law provides that the poard
may in its discretion revoke a liquor
license upon a first conviction.
In the event Of a second conNtctiol
the board is directed to Immediately
revoke the license.

GAS LIGHT COMPANY
FILES ITS ANSWER
Statement Asserts Both Con-
gress and Plaintiff Firm
Knew 1t Acquired Stock.

The answer of the Washington Gas
Light Company to the suit of the
Georgetown Gas Light Company for the
cancellation Of the certificate of 1850
shares of the latter corporations stock,
which was filed in the District Supreme
Court today. sets. forth that both the
plaintiff and Congress. haXe heretofore
recognized the validity of the certifi-
cate, and that the stock in question was
acquired with the knowledge and tacit
approval of the Georgetown concern.
1t is denied that there has been any
irregularity in the manipulation of the
stock, although it is admitted that the
stock was bought by individuals, ana
then transferred to the Washington Gas
Light Company. 1t is admitted that
the certificate for the $3.50 shares origi-
nally held in the name of John r. Nc
Lean. was conveyed to the defendan,
corporation in October, 1907.
The assertion is made that nll the
stock in question was purchased bes
tween the years 1855 and 1895, but
none later than 1895. The money, 1t
is declared. was used for the opera
tion Of the Georgetown plant. The
cost of the stock was S172, ,o1o, it Is
stated, bat the value has greatly in
creased in twenty years.
Strict proof of the allegation that
the Washington Gas Light Company
has dictated the mana agement and
control of the Georgetown company.
It is stated that there has been 10
violation of the charter OF the de-
fendant. and that the dealings have
been legitimate.
The answer is practically the same
as filed in. the anti-merger. suit
brought by the Commissioners.

Stores Will Close
On Christmas Eve

The closing early movement which
local shopkeepers have effected with
considerable success this year will be
brought into considerable force We'd
nesday evening, when, according to
the custom Of q number Of the larger
stores. the doors will be closed at an
early hour
Much qualification is felt by local
shopkeepers as a result of the success
OF the shop early for Xmas" cam
paign which has been responded to
with such willingness by the saop-
ping public. Charles J. Columbus, in
checking up results of the shopping
activity this year, has found that
unanimous. satisfaction is felt among
retail merchants Of the city, and that
the results OF this year will be
brought to bear in an effort toward
a greater Improvement in shopping
arrangements next year. It is hoped
that future custom will eliminate
night shopping about Christmas time,
among the larger shops and stores at
least
Not only has the shop early for
Xmas campaign brought about much
that is humane in the public's attitude
to the tired counter clerk, but the
volume Of business has been greater
this year than II has ever been in the
past, it is declared by prominent busi-
ness men among the retail merchants.
