BEER LICENSE
PROTESTED BY
COUNCIL
County Commission Is Told
Town Fears Peace Would
Be Disturbed

MT. RAINIER, Md, June 7.
Mt. Rainier's governing officials
have begun concerted campaign
to eliminate the sale of alcoholic
liquors in the town following
hearing before the Prince Georges
county board of license commits
sioners at which they protested
the granting of a second on-sale
beer license in the town.
They protested granting IL
cense to Carl Klein, %, of the
$500 block Rhode Island Ave-, on
the theory that its authorization
would bring a flood of other ap-
plications.
Mayor Norman A. Pruitt, Coun-
Gilman John T. Duever, president
of the council, and Bird H. Dolby,
counsel to the town, pointed out
that they had had no opportunity
to protest the issuance of the only
on-Sale beer license now in the
town, when it was authorized at
the time 80 per cent beer became
legal.
Residents Opposed
Since repeal, a town referen-
dunn showed residents opposed
the licensing of dealers here by
vote of three to one, they said,
and that citizens still opposed the
granting of such licenses.
The board decided Klein's H.
cense was faulty in that some Of
the signers were not residents Of
the precint in which the business
is to be set up. He was given an
other week to amend his applica-
ton.
The board named William
Brooke, of Marlboro, chairman,
and A. R. Hassall, of Hyattsville,
counsel. Joseph S. Haas, Mt.
Rainier Republican, began his
term as a board member, succeed
ing Judge w. Med. Lindsey, Lam
ham Democrat. Mrs. Mary Brown
ing, of Mt. Rainier, Democrat, is
a holdover.
Bowie Asked for Data
States Attorney Alan Bowie was
asked to give the board the names
of dealers convicted in police or
circuit court of liquor law viola
lions and ordered Philipo Mar.
letta, of Bradbury Heights, to
show cause by June 20 why his Ii.
cense should not be revoked for
his conviction in police court for
a violation.
A letter from the Maryland at
torney generals office declared
that beer distributors need not be
residents of the county, contrary
to a former ruling, and a list OF
distributors was sent to Mr.. Bowie
to determine whether county dis.
tributors are residents Of Mary
land.

HES To FARM

PHOENIXVILLE, Pa, June 7.
Justice Owens D. Roberts is spend

relaxation in farming.
It is one of the unwritten laws
of the United States that Su-
preme Court justices must not
pose for photographs because it is
inconsistent with the right dignity
of their office. However, even in
a Supreme Court Justices life
there are times when things are
strictly "off the record" and the

Documents PurIoined by Her
.Executioner Shown With
Art Collection

Almost 142 years ago, on that
fatal Wednesday, October 16,
1893, Marie-Antoinette, beautiful
Austrian wife of Louis XVI, was
executed on the guillotine.
Today, in Washington, exhibit
ed at the Washington Art Gal
lery, TOO block Thirteenth st. N.
w., is the last authentic record
in the life of the unfortunate
Queen-her death warrant.
This, document, owned by
Washingtonian, has been placed
in the hands of Benjamin S.
Bell, owner of the gallery. to be
sold along with three autographed
pieces of paper containing the
signatures Of Marie Antoinette's
son, Louis Charles Capet, the
Dauphin; Marie Antoinette's
daughter, Therese Capet; the sis
ter of King Louis XVI, Elizabeth
Capet. and also signatures Of
courtiers.
Records PurlOined
After the Queen was executed,
the document which had ordered
her death, was placed in the
Temple, supposedly to remain
there with other records of the
French Revolution.
Henri Samson, whose hand had
piloted the sharp nstrum n t
which severed the Queens head,
evidently took the official death
record and the pieces of auto
graphed papers from their glass
case in the Temple. The eXecu-
toners action has never been sat
iSfactorily explained. The Temple
records show that the death war
rant of the widow Capet" was
discovered missing from it's usual
place and could not be found.
The other papers were possibly
thought to be unimportant, al
though they undoubtedly came
from the same case. The Temple
does not record them at all.
In An Old Atlas
In 1912, the present owner rum
mayed through the trunks in his
attic and came across some old
papers between the pages of an
old atlas, in a trunk which had be-
longed to his father-in-law, Ar
mand Lag, native of Vile,
France. He thought the papers
were connected with the history of
the Lag family, but his wife did
not know anything about them.
They decided to look further into
her fathers belongings.
They found an old diary started
several years before Armand Lag
left France in 1873. The diary
stated that the papers, listed as
the death warrant of Marie An
toinette, Queen of France, and
autographs of the Dauphin, his
sister, aunt, and ladies and gentle
men of the Court of Louis XVI"
had been given to Lag in 1860
