EXCISE BOARD ASKED
TO CLOSE 86 PLACES
Anti-Saloon League Charges Liquor

The formal request of the league is
today being prepared by Attorney AL
bert T. Shoemaker. Comparisons are
being drawn between the leagues
original protests against the various
barrooms- and the report of the Senate
Investigating committee, with a view
to establishing In what Instances the
charges were sustained. A final ratifi-
cation of the measurements made by
the league OF the distance between sa-
looms and prohibited territory with
those made by the District surveyor. as
furnished to the Senate committee. is
also being made.

by the league Andrew Wilson. presi-
dent Of the organization. expressed
confidence that the excise board will
take prompt action as result Of the
request.
1t was explained that the word

withdraw the licenses Of the places in
dicated is used advisedly. as a request
for the ''revoking'' of these licenses
would involve the league as believing
that they were. at the time Of issue.

trary to the position held by the
league. which claims that the licenses
have been from the first illegal.

Grand Hotel. situated at 18th street
and Pennsylvania avenue on govern
ment-owned ground. has been under
taken by the board of Commissioners
and the police department Of the Dis
trict of Columbia at the instigation of

tary McAdoo directed the attention of
the board Of Commissioners, some time
ago, to reports of improper conduct of

facts.
AS the hotel is on land in which the
title vests in the government. Secre-
tary McAdoo regarded himself. as Gus
todian. charged with. responsibility to
see that the property is maintained as
"a law-abiding. reputable place. He
suggested in his communication that
if the conduct of the hotel was not in
keeping with the standards of the
community he was disposed to CO.
operate in the matter.
The hotel lease is an agreement re-
newed monthly. The Secretary of the
Treasury would have the power to re-
fuse this renewal.

warded a confidential reply to Secre-
tary McAdoo. but would not discuss Its
