BANK CLERKS MAKE
MT. VERNON TRIP
Members Of American Institute
Also Visit Alexandria and
Fort Myer.

Three hundred and seventy-ffve
youthful bankers poured on the four
special trains which had carried SO
many Of them on their first visit to the
home of the Father Of His Country, to
o'clock this afternoon and joined anoth-
er GROUP. comprising at least fifty. who
had not gotten up early enough to
catch the specials at $50 this morning.
The REINFORCED army of financiers
marched across the street to the Raj
eigh, where luncheon was served.
Never were there many more bankers
in Washington than this afternoon, not
even on the various occasions. including
the recent one, When Congressional
committees have given hearings on cur
rency bills 1t was generally remarked
that they were a fine, clean-cut looking
bunch of young fellows. too. with a
generous sprfhkling Of older men. who,
despite the fact that they are no longer
bank clerks. but have become cashiers
and presidents. retain their interest in
the workings Of the American Institute
of Banking.
Getting Off sharply at $50 on the
pecial trains provided by the local
members OF the organization, under
Chairman w. w. Spaid, of the firm
of w. r. Hibbs & Co., the visiting
bank clerks went to Fort Myer, Alex
ahdria, and finally Mt. Vernon. being
given plenty of time at each place
for inspections. So many cars were
needed on the bankers specials that
the trolley company was hard put to,
provide sufficient accommodations for
its regular patrons all morning.
While the bankers were eating
a cQr n
of automobiles kept sweeping up to
wait until they should be through.
Fortunately there were plenty of
machines for the more than four
hundred young>men and after the meal
sightseeing trip around the city and
suburbs was taken. AS 1t was the first
visit to the National Capital for many
Of the young financiers, and the first
time that most Of them had taken such
q complete tour Of the city, the trip
was heartily enjoyed.
Even those who had made tours of the
city before had a great deal to see un-
less they had made the trip very re-
Gently. while to those who had not, the
beauty of the city was a revelation.
No precise plan mas been made for
the dinner of the young bankers, who
will leave on the 7:30 O'Clock train for.

LIQUOR PERMITS FOR
WOMEN PROBABLE
Excise Board Is Believed to
Have Decided It Has Power
to Issue Licenses.

Following careful consideration Of the
arguments presented at public hearing
yesterday afternoon, the Excise Board,
1t Is understood, today. decided that IL
qCor Iicenses can be granted to woman
applicants. Official announcement Of
the boards decision will be made soon.
Full discussion of the subject was
held at the hearing yesterday. In the
opening statement, Henry E. Davis, at
torneJ for several woman applicants.
submitted that not only has the board
authority to issue such licenses, but de-
clared that its refusal to- do SO would
be, in effect, to amend the Jcnes-Works
bill. Had Congress intended, he. said,
that women be denied the right to con-
duct <aloons, 1t would have SO provided
In specihc lans uage..
Attorney w. ]. Lambert spoke also
IN Dehaif of the women, pointin@ to the
provision that NO ..licensee who shall
conduct his business within the law
shall be deprived Of his license or re-
quired to change his location before
November /, 1914"
Attorney Alexander H. Bell said he
believed it to be premature at this time
to pass upon the eligibility Of women
to conduct saloons.
A. E. Shoemaker took issue with Mr..
Bells interpretation. He contended that
ment and maintenance of saloons in
certain restricted areas goes into ef-
feet November /.
Mr.. Shoemaker urged the immediate
adoption Of regulations prohibiting
the issuance of licenses to women.
Hugh f. Harvey, president OF the
Washington Mercantile Association,
made the closing argument. on the
intent of Congress to protect those
affected by the new law by allowing
them untfl November ], 1914, to ad-
just their business affairs. The law
provides that the number of saloons
shall be reduced by that time to 800.
An executive session was held to-
day for the consideration of the
arguments, at which, II is understood,
1t decided that IL has power under
the new law to issue licenses to
women.
Joseph c. Sheehy announced that
the decision would be made public in
a few days.
The number Of women applicants is
thirty two, many of whom were in
terested listeners AT the hearing yes

the leading hotel, they applied for
rooms with baths. but were told that
there was none to be had.
Being directed TO another hotel, they

sstthough he had accommodations, he
preferred not letting them to soldiers.
according to Secretary Garrison. this
