'ASK|SNEW LAWS
FOR PO0LROOMS
Committee Recommends
Midnight and Sunday
Closing.

An amendment to the license laws
of the District requiring poolrooms
to close from midnight until o'clock
in the morning and all day on Sun
day was recommended to the Com
missioners today by committee
appointed to consider the need for
revision of these laws.
When the statute under which
business places are licensed was
enacted it provided that poolrooms
should be closed during the same
hours stipulated for saloons. When
prohibition abolished the saloons the
Commissioners were lett without a
law 10 govern the hours of pool
rooms, since there were no barrooms
to be guided by.
Asks Old LAW Re-Enacted.
The committee also recommended
to the Commissioners that an old sec
ton of the law, which required
brokers to pay an annual license of
$3.50, be re-enacted. This provision
Of the law became imperative some
years ago when the courts sustained
the contention that it was discrim-
inatory.
The discrimination consisted in the
fact that men who Were members OF
recognized stock exchanges in other
cities could do business in the Dis
trict for 500 year. In asking that
this clause be re-enacted the COM
mittee eliminates the discrimination
by placing a fiat $3.50 fee on all
brokers. The original section pro-
vided that brokers who did business
change would be covered by the $500
fee paid by that organization. The
committee does not propose to dis
turb that provision.
Want "Joker'' Corrected.
The committee further recommended
that a joker in the existing law, which
permits the sale of cigarettes and
chewing tobacco without a license, be
corrected. The law now provides that
Cigar dealers" shall pay $12 year.
The committee recommends that the
law be changed to include merchants
who sell tobacco in any form.
1t is understood the committee recon-
mends higher license fee on carni-
walls and other outdoor treveling
shows that come to the city for a
short period.
At present carnivalS held on church
property for charitable purposes with
out thought of profit are exempt from
a license. The committee proposes to
broaden this exemption by providing
that such carniVals may be held else
where without tax provided nc
ground or hall rent is paid.
The committee turned GOWN a sug-
gestion that druggists be permitted
to take out one license to cover the
various classes of business they con-
duct, such as soda fountain and to-
bacco fees.
The Commissioners have no power
to amend the license laws, so that
action by Congress will be required
if the city heads approve the recon-
mendations of the committee.
The committee was composed OF
Frank Stephens. corporation counsel;
Wade H. Coombs. superintendent OF
licenses. and Daniel E. Garges. secre-
tary of the board of Commissioners.

Citation. led by General Jan Christian
Smuts, premier of the Union of South
Africa, are bending every effort to
find a solution of the Irish problem.
Sim Fein and Unionist leaders from
South Ireland will meet in Dublin to-

tains, who has been in conference
with Prime Minister Lloyd George

General SHUTS, in an address deliv-

clared the Irish problem could be
solved, and pointed out that the situa
ton in Ireland was similar to that
which existed in South Africa when
the republican movement was strong
in that dominion. He said that since
the Union Of South Africa had decided
10 remain linked with the empire, the
people had benefited from their fore
bearance and self sacrifice"

AUTOISTS MUST SEND
TITLE APPLICATIONS
IN BEFORE AUG. e

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July THE
automobile department of the secre-
tary of states office is now getting
into high" in the matter of taking care
of the influx of applications for title
of ownership on motor vehicles. Off
Gals of the Hoosler State Automobile
association, who are cooperating with
H. D. McClelland, deputy in charge OF
the secretary of states automobile de-
partment, announce that at present
the title applications are being issued
at the rate of approximately 1000 a
day.
Considering that there may be ap'
proximately 100000 motor vehicles OF
all classes requiring registration IN
Indiana this year, and that the last
day of grace for the duty is Aug. 20,
it will be seen that a tremendous task
confronts the state automobile depart
ment-and that likewise a big duty
confronts the motor vehicle owners
who are yet dallying along in the mis-
taken notion that they have plenty OF
time to comply with the new law.
Repeat warning
NJ. Z. Noblet, secretary of the state
automobile association, today repeated
the warning he issued some weeks
ago: This law which was written and
adopted through the efforts of oul
association has real teeth in it," he
declared. after the 90-day grace
period any person driving a motor
which does not have the registration
plate or container, and for which q
certificate OF title has not been issued
will be subject to a fine of $40 on III
to 500 and for a second offense q
Jail sentence may be added. After
that time, any person who sells oil
transfers a motor vehicle to any other
person or firm without at the same
time transferring a certificate of title
is subject to a minimum penalty Of
800 fine and two years imprison
ment. The maximum penalty is $500
fine and five years imprisonment
There is no or in this phrase regard
ing the Imprisonment. The statute
says and imprisonment The penalt!
for forging a certificate is a nice little
minimum of $1,000 fine and five years
Imprisonment"
