Shoemaker Instructed to Start Pro.
ceedings Against Places Said to Be
Unlawfully Sanctioned.

A fat and sweeping demand that the
Excise Board shut down all saloons and
wholesale liquor places in the District
operated in violation of law will be made
by the Anti-Saloon League before the end
of the week. This action was deter
mined upon yesterday at a secret confer
ence of league officials at their head
quarters in the Woodward Building.
Attorney Albert E Shoemaker. coun-
sci for the league, was instructed to be-
gin proceedings at once to close all liquor
places shown to have been illegally
granted licenses during the recent inquiry
by the Senate int othe workings Of the
Excise Board.
Officials of the league assert the in
CURRY developed that at least seventy
five saloons and wholesale places are be-
ing run unlawfuily. The facts brought
out by the Senate Investigators will be
used as the basis of the demands OF the
league.
The lea que expects to close twenty sa-
looms and four wholesale places alleged
to be within 400 feet of a church or
school, twenty-five saloons and twenty
five wholesale places alleged to be in res
idence sections or in nonDuSlneSs
streets, and twelve hotels with less than
fifty rooms which have liquor licenses.
The league will use the word CLOSE"
in demanding that the licenses be with
drawn by the Excise Board. No request
to revoke" a license will De made, for
the league holds that the licenss at first
were illegally granted.

campaign were made was attended by

all the Protestant clergy of tn eNationa
Capital. will make a pilgrimage to Phil

liver one of his famous evangelistic SER

from the baseball preacher that he viii

All expenses for the trip will be paid
by philanthropic citizen Of Washing

Sunday and a fat bank roll This citi-
zen. whose name is cloaked in secrecy
handed to William knowles Cooper, gen
eral secretary of the Y. VI. c. A, big
roll of bills and asked him to go ahead
and arrange for the trip.
Mr.. Cooper got into long distance com

three minutes, explained the situation
to the evangelist and asked him wher
the Washington preachers should jour

ers OF the city. sending some special de-
livery Letters and inviting others by
phone. Before the Y. N. c. A office
closed last night nearly 100 pastors had
accepted the invitation to go to Philadel-
phia. The party will leave Union Sta.
ton in special cars over the Baltimore

They will roll into Chestnut street sta
ton at 1910 O'Clock and go at once to
Billy Sundays headquarters where they
will be received by the evangelist. The

After meeting of the pastors of the
city at Luther Place Memorial Church
some weeks ago it was voted to invite
sunday to conduct a campaign here. The
vote. however. was not unanimous the
Lutheran pastors holding out against
Sunday because of the teachings of their
church Sunday previously had said he
would not come here except upon unani-
nous invitation of the pastors of the
city
The invitation. though not unanimous,
was sent to Sunday, and he took it under
Amusement. That is where the mater
stands now. 1t is expected that the pill
grimage of 100 preachers will have an
effect on Sunday. and the layman who
is paying the expenses for the journey
believes that the demonstration will re-
suit in Sunday saying: Sure, I'll rattle
down to Washington any old time you
