Details of Mlssouri's Big Victory

Jefferson City, Mo-, March. AS
each day passes the victory won by
the temperance forces of this state in
the passage of the county unit meas
ure looms larger. The good result OF
the conflict and the ability of the Anti
Saloon League to fight against odds
are manifest when the whole history
of the bills course through the general
assembly is known.
To begin with, the report of the
temperance committee of each house
was adverse to the measure, and it was
necessary to overcome the effect of
that report. Never before has the sem
ate of Missouri put on its calendar
bill that was adversely reported That
thing was done one afternoon and the
bill was made special order for the
next afternoon at o'clock.
The opposition offered substitute
bill, which was deity drawn and cal
culated not only to deceive the elect,
but to enable crafty senator's to go
back home and pull the wool over the
eyes of their constituents, by saying
that the substitute was better than the
original. The debate, before packed
galleries, lasted three hours, and the
substitute bill was defeated by test
vote of II to I6. The final roll call
showed vote of 20 to IL for the
Anti-Saloon League bill. When the
test vote was taken one senator was
absent and another was acting as
lieutenant governor and ruling pro-
hibited his voting save on tie. How
ever, he would have voted for the
original bill.
The liquor interest is threatening to
hold up the county unit bill by refer
endum. This is probably only bluff,
but if they want fight they can have
it.

cant gang of se1f-seekinp orafters such

LAW IS OBSERVED
Few Violations Discovered in Places
Seeking Renewal of Licenses
as Restaurants.
HEARING TO BE HELD MONDAY

Following a careful inspection of all
places in the District asking a renewal
Of liquor licenses as restaurants, which
establishments are permitted under the
new law to serve intoxicants to women
with regular meals, Chairman Sheehy, of
the Excise Board. said tkat the majority
of the places visited were within the re-
quirements of the law and doing a legiti-
mate business as restaurants.
Forty-three such places applying to the
board as restaurants for renewal of
licenses were visited.
1t is expected, according to the state
ment of the chairman OF the board, that

whether women may operate saloons un-
der the new law. The board expects to
render its decision on this question soon
1t also expects soon to make public Tegu-
lations which It has adopted for the gov
ernment of the liquor traffic I'm the Dis
trict.
The consideration of applications for
renewal of licenses will be begun by the

lice Department regarding the character
of the establishments seeking licenses.

ExTRADITIoN TO BE OPPOSED

The case against David Lamar, "the
wolf Of Wall Street" arrested Thurs
day night at the instance of Attorney
General McReynOlds, will be left en-
tirelv in the hands of the local courts,
according to statements made by De-
partment of Justice officials yester-
day.
The government, having successfully
conpleted its side of the case in caus-
inc the arrest of the man who boasted
that he posed as Representatlve'P Pal
mer of Pennsylvania, now will allow
the case to rest entirely with the local
authorities Upon the Supreme Court
of the District of Columbia will fall
the brunt of the long fight against eN-
tradition which Lamar is expected to
make when he is brought before Com
missioner Taylor on September II.
Meanwhile. Lamar. who is at liberty
on $4,000 bail, will formulate his de-
tense.
Department of Justice officials said
Yesterday that the government can
take no further active steps in the
matter. but that it will supervise he

Lamar was arrested as the result of
an indictment against him by the New
York grand jury several weeks ago.
The indictment charged that Lamar
impersonated an officer of the govern
ment, an offense contrary to Section
32 OF the criminal code. Lamar boasted
of this exploit during his testimony
before the Senate Lobby Committee
about two months ago. but since has
stated that he will fight eXtradition to

Judge Fayors Modern Quarters for
Juvenile and Municipal Courts.
The proposed erection of a new build
ing for the Juvenile Court was indorsed
yesterday afternoon by Judge Charles S.
Bundy, of the Municipal Court, who is
presiding over the Juvenile tribunal in
the absence of Judge Latimer.
THE present quarters of the children's
court are decidedly inadequate" Judge
Bundy said. Il am strongly in favor of the
movement on foot to abandon this small
and unsuitable home of the court and
erect building which will be the sort
which we should have in Washington.
L should go further than this, though"
the judge continued, land erect such
a building as could comfortably house
both the Juvenile and Municipal courts.
The proposition of placing the pro-
posed new courthouse on judiciary
Square has many things to commend II
to favor" Judge Bundy said.
Il think the people of Washington, es-
pecially those who have families, should
take an active interest in the move
ment for a permanent home for the

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
Better Tone Shon in All Lines Restraint Upon Busi-
Through Tariff Uncertainty, Practically at
an End, and Signs of Revival are Ap-
parent; Jobbing Market Active

New York. Sept 12-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
The events Of the week spell progress
along generally favorable lines Chief
among these features were the expansion
in fall jObbing trade shown at most
centers, the breaking of the drought in
the corn belt, too late to enlarge the
yield. but checking further deterioration
and helpful to late forage crops pastures
stock water supplies, and full seeding:
the ending, generally speaking OF the
tariff uncertainty by the passage of the
bill in the Senate, the realization,
through the government report of a
record yield of wheat and of average
yields of most other crops except corn;
lower temperatures, stimulating to re-
tail trade, and enlarged movements of
cotton and spring wheat, which tend to
improve collections in sections affected,
though room for further Improvement is
still ample
Enlargement in jobbing trade is re-
ported from all leading markets. Lead
ing in activity, both in GIrst and second
hands, has been the cotton goods division,
in which staple goods have been freely.
indeed eagerly, bought despite successive
advances in prices. Second only to cot
ton fabrics strength is the knit goods
division, which notes larger recorder busi-
ness for fall and output reported insult
icicnt TO fill demands. Silk and linen
goods also have been active, and even
wOOlens have had a better tone. Raw
textiles are active as a whole.
Among the large industriaLs. coal is
in better shape. Helped by seasonable
weather. demand equals mine output.
and while iron and steel in finished lines
are irregular or weak in price, the re-
port of the leading interest shows smaller
than expected reductions in orders on
hand in August. and basic pig iron is
more active, with prices in general at
firm levels.
The Washington herald., 1913-09-13

New York, Sept. 1.-R. c. Dun's re-
view tomorrow will say:
Restraint upon business through tariff
uncertainty is virtually at an end, and
merchants and manufacturers appear TO
be of a hopeful disposition. Expansion
is not general as yet, but signs of trade
revival are gradually becoming more ap-
parent and lesS hesitancy is shown in
prov ding for forward requirements.
The low position of merchandise stocks
throughout the country IS one of the most
encouraging features as the growing de-
mands necessitate increased purcha ses TO
Ieplenish depleted supplies. With the
approach of the fall season adviCes from
the leading centers record a quickened
wholesale and retail movement, the
volume of sales in most instances being
=, excess of last years.
Especially favorable conditions prevail
the dry goods market which reports
aI excellent distribution at rapidly ad-
ncing prices in practically all depart
.nts. The textile situation reflects de-
ed betterment, with mems wear mills
ta Oking large orders. and machinery is
more fully employed than for a long time
past. Generally considered, trade in wool
is improving.
Developments in iron and steel testify
to a we'll maintained consumption, and
IhulSn railroad buN llS IL sun lSHl' tue
demand from that source is not wholly
negligible. Combined orders received dur
ing August surpassed expectations. so
that the reduction in the untitled tonnage
OF the leading interest was considerably
less than was anticipated.
statistics OF trade movements are of
a mixed character, bank clearings this
week being l.9 per cent smaller than a
year Sgo. but 40 per cent in excess of
1911. while railroad gross earnings IN
AugGst showed gains Of 10 and so per
cent respectively, over the two preced-
ing years"
