Despite the adulation she has
received as the wife Of the military
aide to the President of the United
States and as Frances Nash, inter
nationally famous pianist. Mrs
Edwin Martin Watson is one OF
the easiest persons in the city to
interview.
Perhaps it is because of her con-
facts with members Of the diplo'
matte set and her years Of living
abroad, but this slim blond woman
with the twinkling brown eyes is

She looked sleepy the morning
she was interviewed in her Ueaut1'

getting up at 8, her usual time.
Nor from receiving the reporter
at 8, as she had planned.
She admitted she intended to
practice her allotted four hours on
the piano and probably more be-
cause she was going to New York
to play in the Federal Orchestra

Mrs. Watson began her musical
studies at the age of 4 and has

International Musician
She has given concerts in many

Says:

Say, what's this criticism Of
the Omen for prOmis suOus
shOOting-it-Out with gunner?
My own feeling is "Give 1t to
them and let 'em have it good"
Most of those gangsters are SO
yellow, when they're shot, they
bleed lemon juice.
Some of the trigger men may
be mere lads, but when they
SOW their wild oats, that's not
benevolent birdseed. Just re-
member, a gunman is a felon,
and a mugg that helps him is
a public carbuncIe.
And let's not worry about any
rough treatment the Omen may
give them. If we're going to
start cOddling criminals, next
thing you know they'll be de-
manding sofa pillows under
them when they sit in the cleo
trio chair.

LIQUOR DEALER
ASKS LICENSE
TRANSFER
Asserts Board Without
Power Because of
Offutt's Absence

Seeking to compel the District
Alcohol Beverage Control Board
to approve the transfer of his off
sale liquor license, Albert Finger
hut, proprietor of a retail liquor
store at 1882 Seventh st. N. W.,
today named as defendants the
members of the board and the
District Commissioners in an in
junction suit filed in United States
District Court.
Filed through Attorneys Simon,
Koenigsberger and Young. r. Jo-
seph Donohue and Leo Schlosberg,
the suit charged the A. B. c. board
is illegally constituted because Of
the absence of one member, George
w. Offutt, who has been on fur
Tough since January, 1887, due
to serious illness.
School Board Willing
The petition stated that Finger
hut was granted license on April
S, 1884, for the premises at 1882
Seventh st. N. W.. despite the
fact that it is within 400 feet Of
a public school. A transfer appli-
cation for 1918 Seventh st. N. W.,
was filed September 20, 1885, due
to the expiration of his lease, and
the Board of Education informed
the A. B. c. board that it would
not oppose the change although
the new establishment was within
400 feet of another school build
ing.
At a hearing before the Board
on February 26, the permit was
opposed by Max Sporting, pro-
prietor of another liquor store in
the same block, and by the Saliva
ton Army meeting hall and lodg-
ing house directly across the street
from the new location.
Seals Ruling Cited
According to the petition, Cor
poration Counsel Elwood Seal
ruled on March 26 that the Sal
vation Army was not entitled to
the status Of church and the
objection could not be sustained
but stated:
There remains for the con-
sideratiOn of the board the
question whether or not the
premises to which the transfer
is requested arc suitable for the
sale of beverages in view Of the
protest registered by the Saliva
ton Army"
Fingerhut charges that in view
of the fact that five other IL
cenSes, both on and off-sale. have
been issued in the immediate
neighborhood, action of the board
in withholding his permit would
cause him to suffer irreparable
loss and injury. He asks the
court to determine whether the
board is legally constituted in the
absence of Offutt and, should it
be held illegal, compel the board
to revoke it's order of March 81.
1887, denying him the transfer
and direct it to issue the neceS-
Sary permit.
The petition also charged that
Isaac Cans, board member, should
have been disqualified on the
grounds of prejudice because Of
his service as a member Of the
Salvation Army Advisory Board.
The suit also asks that the
board and the District Commits
sioners be restrained from inter-
fering with or instituting any
proceedings against Fingerhut
should he engage in business in
the new location.
