Some Clubs Claim Immunity.

Representatives of the clubs are pre-
pared to argue that the business front
age has nothing TO do with the granting
of licenses to the clubs, more especial
ly TO those that were established prior
to the passage of the law in 1913. Para
graph 5 of the license act explains
how clubs shall apply for liquor licenses
and tells what officers and agents of
them have to be proceeded against for
violations of the law.
The concluding paragraph, the one
upon which. il is stated. representatives
Of some of the clubs will base their
claims before the board tomorrow
morning, reads: That after November
l, 1914, there shall not he granted Ii
censes to more than twenty-five clubs,
including those now licensed
II is said that the construction placed
upon the words including those now
licensed" by the excise board may de-
term!ne the fate of applications for
prominent clubs.
Mr. Shoemaker says he confidently
expects that the board will greatly re-
duce the number of drinking saloons
in the city, more particularly those in
the residential sections. There are
several saloons that are clearly in the
residential sections. counsel for the
Anti-Saloon League will argue to the
board. He will contend that having
80 per cent business frontage does
not necessarily comply with provisions
of the section which. it is claimed. pro-
rides that saloons shall be located onl y
in business sections
Not only will Mr.. Shoemaker argue
for reduction of the number of sa-
looms which he contends are in resi-
dental sections. he stated, but ne also
Will argue against the continuance of
wholesale places in sections that are
unGuestionabiy- residential. There are
many such places that are highly OBJ
Jectionable to persons residing near
them. Mr.. Shoemaker stated and COM
plants will be lodged against some of
them by neighbors.

OPPOSES LICENSES
OF ALL CLUBS BUT 4
Anti-SaIoon League Claims
Others Are in Residential
Sections.
HEARINGS DUE TOMORROW

The question whether or not licenses
to sell liquor will be refused to all but
four clubs in this city hangs in the
balance before the excise board this
week The board is to take up the
technical question presented by the
Anti-Saloon League, which claims that
all but four clubs are not entitled to
Hquor licenses because they are in resi-
Dental sections. according to the legal
definition of the term.
The applications of several of the
best known clubs have already brought
out the line of attack formulated by
the Anti-Saloon League through its at
torney, Albert L. Shoemaker. He con-
tends that liquor licenses must not be
granted to clubs which are unable to
comply with the provisions of the Sec
tion of the excise law which provides
that SO per cent of the block on which
the license is sought must be devoted
10 business uses, excluding the property
OF the club or saloon.
Mr.. Shoemaker contends that the
proper Interpretation of this law places
nearly every club in the city in a resi-
Dental section. Those which are not
affected are the National Press Club,
the Cosmos Club. the Eagles and Jolly
Fat Men.
1t is expected that an Interpretation
of this part of the excise law will be
discussed tomorrow when the excise
board convenes.

Renewing pents From Furniture.

When wood is badly dented or
scratched, II is often a problem TO
know how to get rid OF the marks.
This is quite easy II the following
plan is adopted: First Of all, fold a
piece OF blotting paper at least four
times; then saturate with wnter,
finally allowing the superfluous mois-
ture to drip away. Now heat a fiat
iron until 1t Is about the warmth re-
quired for laundry work. Place the
damp blotting paper over the dent and
press firmly with the iron. As soon
as the paper dries examine the mark.
II Will then be found that the cavity
has filed up to surprising extent
Where the dent Ia very deep a second,
or even n third, application on the
lines indicated might be tried. Sooner
or later even serious depressions can
be drawn up. and most people who
have not tried this plan will be sur
prised at the result of the treatment.

the Bison Oil company OF Oklahoma

ter of section "a 2s1Oe. The depth is
said to be 700 feet and the drill is
in sand that will make about. 80 bar
rels OF oil. Deeper drilling will be
done. That portion of the state has
no oil production at this time, and the
news will be learned with great de-
light by people in that section OF the
state. This well is also interesting 10
Ardmore people for the reason that
Henry Pennington of this city owns
more than 5000 acres in oil leases
near it. In case the well opens a new

New York, oct. 30-Official lists
of candidates of recognized parties
for the congressional and state cleo
tions cOincident with the presidential
voting on November 7 show that there
will be at least two women running
for congress and more than two score
women in the contest for state Offices,
ranging from governor down.
In Montana Jeanette Rankin is
tho regular republican nominee for
congress and in Colorado Hattie X,
Howard is running on progressive
ticket.
The Associated Press has Just com
piled all of the state tickets from
every state in the union and it APP
pears from these lists that there arc
exactly 46 women candidates for var.
ious state offices. This figure may bo
slightly reduced or increased by tho
fact that some names which almost
certainly seem to be those of women
are in rare cases also names OF men,
and It is possible that some women
have escaped identification by the uso
of initials instead of their full name,
but the figures given, If not precise,
are interesting, since they develop tho
following facts:
