There were present of the sub-cummitice Messrs. Le fland ana Eldredge. ; ‘There were present to advocate the pasiag> ef the bills Revs. J. G. Butler, KE. H. Gray, J W. Parker, G. G. Baker, W. F.

Thomiun, Dr. Scholl, A. Schmedtie and 'K. Saw Mr. Louis ‘Schade. Mr, Monroe, who duced the ** Monroe bitl,”” was also present. KRY. MR. AY UN UNLICENSED DRAM SH The Kev. E. H. Gray read a short argumeat in behalf of Mr. Mouroe’s bil, stating toast there are from 80 to 1,000 unliceneed dram thops in the District of Columbia, and that they do more damage than ail the others com- bined. He said that under the present la: very bard to convict these persons, and as many * two hundred cases of this kind have oveu swept from the docket of our courts on accyuat of insufficient proof. It is very hard to consict these pers but pass Mr. Monroe’s bill, sod Major Kichaids says he can readily break them up. Mr. Schade said the statement thet two hun- dred cases of unlicensed venders have beon swept from the court ducket was incorrect, but us requested to wait until Dr. Gray tin’shed his remat ka. ‘Mr. Gray then spoke for a few minutes in fa- vor of the passage of Mr. Lawrence's bill, which provides that rum.sellers may be prosecuted and fined for Gamage caused by the sale ot liquor. MaJUK RICHARDS” STATEMENT. Major Kicbards said be appeared, not as the advocate of the bills before the commiticve, nor did he appear to oppose their passage. He ap peared simply to abswer any questions waicn might be asked him in relation to the liquor ueftic. He believed some law regulating tac retail liquor trade might be enacted which Would prove beneficial, and which the poiive migbtexecute. Several handred persons are arrested yearly for selling without license, and scarcely fifty of them are ever convicted, be | cause of the u'ficulty of obtaining detiaite pr saf. He verified the statement of Dr. Gray that over two bundsed cases of persons arrested for sclt ing without a license were swept from the | docket or the Criminal Coart about a year ‘There are at least ive hundred aa He believed that Dut that un ler ESSTONAL since. licersed piaces in the city. the po'ice force do their | the present Jaw these unitécused dram sh cannot be suppressed. Lf Congress would m ke the unlicensed sale of liquor @ felony, he be- | lieved the practice could be broken ap. ‘He was questioned at seme length by Mr. Eidrety+ in reference to the present liquur lawsin tue Dis } trict. A QUESTION AND ANSWER. Mr. Louis Sehade sald that the Monroe bil! proposed to make conclusive evidence tn tae arrest of unlicensed dealers evidence similar to | that which is cousidered conciusive in the arrest of bawcy houses. He asked Mojor Richards if he had succeeded in breaking up bawdy wou and receiving @ negative reply, said the re would be the same should tae Monzoe bill p43. He would fail to oproot the sale of nnlicened liquors the same as he had failed tu break ap bawdy bouses. OR RICHARDS AGAINST PROAIDITION r Kicbards reterred to the tact that an tion exists bere to defent Liquor deal licensed aud unlicensed, whenever they are brought before the court, and employ coun by the year. In regard to the bawdy no question brought up by Mr. Schade, he wou if the comumitiee desired it, give his views on the subject; but as he anderstuod it the social evil mater was not before the comaitice cousiccration. He did not believe in a pron tory law, because be thought it impracticable; his own egperience had demonstrated this. KEV RESENTATIVE MONROS SAID he bad introduced his bill at the request of some friends of temperance in Washington, who r-p resented that the superintendent of police said he believed he could more effectua ly break ap the unlicensed sale of liquor should such # 1 be pasced by Congress. The practical ques: is Lot whether, it this act becomes a law, tie superintendent of police cau shut up ail ‘ili Cebred shops, but whether he cannot break un most cf them. Mr. Schade said be had no objection t» the first section of Mr. Monroe's bill, but the iatier part of it gives the police arbitrary power, and allows thei to enter any house whers they hive Fearon to surpect l'quor 1s cold. IN FAVOG OF THE LAWRENCE BILL. Rev. J. W. Parker spoke with refereace to the Lawrence bill, and favored its passage. Mr. Eldredge suggested that the whole sb- ject might be remitted to the District legi«ia- ture. Dr. Parker said that the legislature having failed to pas* such measures as in the jad, i Of the advocates of temperance are neces-ary and proper, they werefore appeal to Congres. AGAINST BOTH BILLS. Mr. 8. Wolf read a long argument against ihe paseage of the bills claiming thatthe legisl.' are of the District hag Lhe sole power to legis ate relative to the sale of liquor; that the present ate sufficient; and that such acts as those osed are destructive of personal rights and fberty. ‘The Monroe bill confers no authority upon the police board thet they do not already to execute it. The and aims to edueste me informers, after they have proven t ral want of character by not being able to. con- trol their appetites. It will sow dissen-ion Detween neighbors, create strife and do no to these whom it aims to benef’. The statement submitted by the Iuternal Revenue deportment for the past year shows that nearly $94,000,000 was collected from liquor and to- bacco,or nearly seven-eighths or the whole taxes.
