BACKS UP ATTORNEY
League Will Probably Appeal to
Courts on Time of Cancel
ing Licenses.

Endorsement OF the contention Of A.
L. Shoemaker. attorney for the Anti
Saloon League, that the provisions In
the Jones-Works bill prohibiting the
sale of liquor in certain restricted areas
ginning of the next license year, is
given by the anti league in a letter filed
with the excise board today. The letter,
which is signed by Andrew Wilson,
president. and George w. Callahan,
secretary of the league, follows:
BY authority of the headquarters
committee of the Anti-Saloon League OF
the District of Columbia, acting on be-
half OF the league, we beg Ieaye 10
advise you that at a meeting held Octo-
Der 3. 1913, II was decided:
That in the opinion Of the league
some Of the rules and regulations adop-
ted by your honorable board are incon-
sistent with and contrary 10 the letter
and spirit of the act approved March
4. 1919, commonly known as the Jones'
Works law.
That in the opinion of the league the
questions raised by the attorney for the
league are substantial. and not tech
spical. and that the moral welfare of the
residents of the District of Columbia re-
quire judicial Interpretation and con-
struction of said act, and of said rules
and regulations.
That the request of Albert +. Shoe
maker, Esq. for A reconsideration of
certain of said rules and regula tions

accredited representative Of the league,
and sad request is hereby approved.
II is regretted that said rules and reSu-
lations were not submitted to the Cor
poration Counsel for his opinion. 1t
is respectfully requested that the same
be now submitted to that official
That the attorney for the league is
authorized in the hearings of contested
CAGES to take any and all steps neccs-
sary TO obtain judicial determination

mean that the Anti-Saloon League will
appeal to the courts from the decision
of the Excise Board that mo licensee
who conducts his business within the
law shall lose his license or be required
to change his location before November
!. 1914"

clined to express an opinion of the let

SENATORS BACK UP :
ON COMMERCE COURT
President Brings Them Into
Line Over LegisIating
Judges Out of Office.

Because President Wilson let it be
known he would probably veto the ur-
gent deficiency bill If 1t contained q
provision legislating out Of office the
four circuit judges now composing the
Commerce Court. Senate Democrats
who wanted to abolish the judges re-
treated quietly from their positions to-
day.
The urgent deficiency bill was pa ssed
by the Senate. AS passed, it contains
the provision to abolish the Commerce.
Court. but instead Of kicking the judges
out Of office. the Walsh amendment was
adopted. which continues the Judges in
office. but provides, on the death Of the
incumbents. each Of these judgeships
shall be abolished.
President Wilson, according to state
ments about the Senate today, apprised
Senators that he hoped the urgent def
cheney bill would not legislate the judg-
es out of office. as he felt inclined to
veto it If it did. The result was that
when the bill came up in the Senate to-
cay the aWlsh amendment was adopted
without controversy.
Senator Vardaman in a speech said he
was opposed to the bill because of the
SIS 0D for n memorial bridge, and the
$500 for the Vice President. The bill
a" passed. however. contains these pro-
visions. The amendment allowing $780,
COO for Red Cross building here as a
memorial for women OF the civil war
Was passed.
The bill carries total of about
s. 0O0, 900.
The Senate was minus quorum
when the bill was passed. Last night.
call was sent out to absent Senators
to hurry them back to town. but
most of them responded by wiring
back what the emergency was that
required their presence.
