PART Of NEWEXC|SELAW 4
NOT EFFECTIVE, HE SAYS
Keane Declares Provisions
Cannot Govern Present
License Holders.

Whether the parts Of the new excise
law which apply to licensed places for
selling liquor can be construed as effec-
tive before November l. 1913, was ques-
toned yesterday by Attorney Michael ].
keane, who represents a number or deal
ers in both the wholesale and retail
liquor business. The question was raised
at conference between this attorney
and Albert E. Shoemaker, attorney for
the Ant-Saloon League.
Mr.. keane quotes paragraph Is or the
new law as authority for his contention
that the law is not yet in effect This
paragraph states specifically. says Mr..
Keane, that "any person, company. CO.
partnership, corporation or club. having
obtained a license under this section, who
shall violate any OF its provisions" will
be subject to certain fines and other
penalties.
Would Be Exempt.
AS all of the wholesale and retail
liquor establishments in Washington are
now conducting their business under
licenses obtained many months before
the law became effective the attorney
them in case of an alleged violation Of
any part of the new excise law, because
the law specifies that only those having
obtained license under its provisions are
liable to certain penalties. BY this con-
strudion those operating under licenses
granted under the old law are not answer
able for violations of the Jones' Works
law until after November /, when the
first licenses under the new law will be
issued
Attorney Shoemaker admits that
there is some merit in this contention.
and the question may be met by an
effort on the part of the organization
which he represents to have new
licenses issued Immediately. so as to
make every one engaged in the liquor
business in Washington answerable
TO all the new laws provisions without
shadow Of a doubt.
The matter will be carefully consid-
cred at a meeting of the board of trus-
tees of the Anti-Saloon League this
afternoon. The league has given so
much attention to the matter of the
selection of members of the excise
board that such questions as that raised
by Mr.. Keane have not yet received
the full attention of members of the
board of trustees of the organization.

McComas Voted Right.

\ letter of July IL. 1903, TO Mulhall
as head of the Workmen's Protective
Association from an officer in an asgo-
citation of engineers in New York was
read by Senator Reed. The letter said
that Senator McComas has voted right
In the interests OF labor on every
measure that has come before the
United States Senate in the last six
years.
At this time. Mulhall said, Marshal
Cashlns was secI etary of the National
Association OF Manufacturers. He had
known Gushing in 1898 when the latter
was an editorial writer in New York and
Gushing came 10 see him in Washington
stating that lie wanted TO engage his
services in doing organization work for
the National Association of Manufacture
eTs- Speaking of letters from Cushing.
Senator Reed found one without a sigma
ture. and wanted TO know IL the National
Association OF Manufacturers secretary
wrote unsigned letters.
Always" said Mulhal.

Membership Increased.

Mulhall declared that Cushing had
agreed with him to aid and build up the
" orklnGmen Protective Association,
which Mulhall virtually controlled 1t
had run down TO about 800 members and
with Cushings aid. Mulhall declared, IL
this Gushing. as secretary of the National
Manufacturers Association. frequently
sent Mulhall money. He sent me checks,
usually 500 al time. to be used in hall
said Mulhall- Occasionally he sent me
forty dollar checks. which We're for my
OWN expenses.
During this time Mulhall said, Gushing
was opposed TO McComas because of the
latters activity on behalf OF labor legis-
latlon, and Gushing was also working
through McComas' secretary, NJ. Carol
Downs.
Explaining what Cushing wanted him
to do. Mulhali said he was to go about
among Maryland republican leaders
and create sentiment against McComas
on account OF his eight-hour bill He
said the leaders of labor organizations
were opposed to that bill.
Mulhall identified letter from a Bal
timore republican to McCoYnas urging
him To drop the eight-hour bill, STAT
ing that the workingmen were opposed
10 II because II was urging the manu-
facturers TO organize and would result
IN lowering wages and injuring labor
Hundreds of such letters went to Nc
Comas." said Mulhal.
How did they happen to be written -
asked Senator Cummins
Well, just about that time" Mulhall
answered. the Workingmens Protec-
tive Association had passed resolutions
condemning the eight-hour bill, and
j guess / was largely responsible in
bringing that about After the reso-
lutions passed these letters went TO
McComas"

THE GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT.

Gratifying Pro1eees Shown In Road
Construction Everywhere.
That there are upward Of $500, OOO, 600
of good roads bonds issued and out
standing is indicated by the Good
Roads Year Book Of the United States,
the 1913 edition of which has just been
issued. containing resume of the
whatever may be the faults In methods
of construction and maintenance, mon
ey is being spent in sufficient amount
to bring about q vast improvement in
the public roads. The year book
shows $137 100000 Of state and road
bonds authorized and $156,0O0,OOO Of
county bonds outstanding on Jan. /,
1913, making total OF $293.5O0, 900.
AS this is based ON reports from about
IS per cent OF the counties in the Unit
ed States, and as Lee number of the
individual townships Aave not reported.
1t Is estimated that the amounts not re-
ported would run the aggregate up to
probably $350.OOO,OO0, to which should
be added ten or fifteen million dollars
of the bonds voted in 1912. which have
not yet been issued.
Gratifying progress In road cOnstruc-
ton during the past few years Is indi-
Gated by the statement In the year
book that. while the percentage of all
road improvement In the United States
at the close Of 1909 was 8.66 per cent.
the revised statistics to Dec. 81. 1911,
show an improved mileage of 1O.1 per
cent. or a net gain Of LA per cent.
This does not sound so impressive In
terms Of percentage, but it means that
In the two year period more than 3d.
600 miles of improved roads were con
structed,. or 10000 miles more than the
entire mileage Of national roads In
