Dr. Billings’ subject will be “The Objects and Purposes of the Sanitary | League of the District of Columbia.” The Iq@ure will give, it is stated, some interesting data regarding the sanitary conditions of Wash- ington. It will be illustrated by a number of lantern slides. The lecture is to begin at 8:15 o'clock and @ general invitation is extended to the citizens of Washington to be present. THE PLAN OF THE LEAGUE. The general plan and purpores of the league | are set forth in a circular recently prepared by the committee on promotion of the league as follows: ‘The belief that many deaths and much sick- muaily caused in Washington, as in other cities, by conditions that might be reme- died by intelligent effort and that these condi- tions would become the source of great danger to human life in the event of the appearance of cholera or other epidemic has led to the organ- ization of the Sanitary League of the District of Columbia, “The aims of the league are to secure by the voluntary co-operation of residents such a sanitary surveillance of the city as is beyond the power of the municipal authorities with the | means at present at their disposal; to make a thorough house to house inspection; to procure the removal of conditions that are dangerous or threaten to become so; to prevent if possible contaminations of the water supply; to effect such improvements as may be fourid desirable in the system of sewage disposal; to disseminate useful knowledge of sanitary matters and do- mestic hygiene among the residents of the city, | and to accomplish whatever other good it c in the way of saving people from the Cangers ever threatening them by reason of the existence of unsanitary conditions. “While the league Proposes to begin work at once to avert or diminish the dangers that m come with the approaching summer, its organi- zations and operations are not intended to be temporary. It is planned asa permanent in- stitution, and it is hoped ultimately that its work and influence will result in making the capital city a model among cities for cleanli- ness and healthfulnesa. “The aims of the league are briefly stated in the constitution as foliows: ‘The objects of th association shall be the improvement of the eal:h of the citizens of the District of Colum- | bia, by the collection of data with regard toex- isting or threatened dangers to the pubiic health of the city, the diffusion of information with regard to the best means of removing or pre- venting such causes of danger, and by aiding, | as far as possible, the proper authorities in their efforts to improve the sanitary condition of the District, and to prevent the introduction or spread of disease.” “The plan of the organization by which it is hoped to: accomplish these objects provides for ‘a council composed of ofiicers and twenty-o1 | members of the league to manage the busine of the association. ‘the District of Columbia has been divided into sanitary districts, in each of which active work is to be carried on by district sanitary committee under the general direction of the council. Ali the sanitary work done and instruction given is to be directed by the sanitary committee of the council, of which Surgeon J. S. Billings, U.S. A., is chatrman, and the data collected are to be compiled by a committee appointed for the purpose. Pro- vision is made for committees to co-operate ith the authorities and with the medical so- cieties. and to promote the work of the league in other directions. “itis hoped that, through the district sani- tary committees and through those who may | become members of the organization without being attached to suci committees, the influ- | ence of the league may be made to reach every house in the District. The importance of the work to be accomplished cannot be overesti- mated. The success of the undertaking will Cepend entirely on the interest that citizens manifest in the movement. The officers and members of the council pay annual fees, but at present no’snch requirement is made of other members of the league. —— RIVER FRONT. AT THE ARRIVED. .

Veaxox Sergt. have been sick, are THE POWER TO REVOKE. ‘The Assistant Attorney's Opinion as to the License of Henry Rosenberg. ‘The power of the Commissioners to revoke a liquor license has heen defined by Assistant Attorney Thomas in an opinion rendered to- day in the case of Henry Rosenberg. The history of this case isan interesting one and dates back to the filing of the application in December. On the 28th of December Henry Rosenberg made application for a wholesale liquor license at 712 P street northwest. Ac- cording to the file wrapper this epplica- tion was rejected on January 12 by Commiission- ers Douglass and Ross. In the report on the application for the liquor license from the Heutenant it appeared that the place was a new one and within 400 feet of the Polk School building. In the general remarks Lieut. Teeple said: ‘This isa new place. Applicant in- forms me that he intends to keep a beer bottling lace only. Iknow of nothing against him.” n February 1 a number of citizens residing on P street between 7th and 8th streets joined in a Petition to the Commissioners, in which the; Fopresented that they refused to sign the appli- cation for a liquorlicense: that they protested to the lieutenant of police against the granting of @ license at said place, and that in the face of this protest and without any signers they see that a license has been granted. The filed of the assessor's office show thata license was granted to the applicant, but the file wrapper, which is always notice to the as- sessor of the granting of a liquor license, shows that the same was refused. The Commission- ‘ere thought the case needed explanation by Lieut. Teeple, for his report was not in accord- ance with the facts as presented to them. So they referred the whole matter tothe major of police, who detailed Capt. Austin to look into the matter. His report vindicates Lieut. Teeple, whom he said acted thoroughly in good fait. "As an explanation of the granting of tho license it seems that the same was issued upon the recommendation of Com- missioner Douglass and Capt. Rossell upon the favorable report of the lieutenant, and during the timo intervening be- tween the reference of the papers to the liu- tenant for additional report the license was issued, although subsequently when the supple- mentary report of Lieut. Teeple came in Com- missioner Douglass promptly reconsidered his vote and withdrew his approval. An endeavor was then made by the Commissioners to revoke the license and Assistant Attorney Thomas was arked for his opinion. ‘This he rendered today, in which he says that it,was not necessary for the applicant to get the @igners, as it was for a wholesale place and the law did not require them, but that if he is conducting his business ina manner that i nuixanee and hurtfal to property interests it is competent for ‘the health officer or the courts on the application of any one injuriously af- fected to abate the nuisance. In conclusion he says: “While it has many times been held by the highest courts that a license to sell liquor is neither a contract nor a right of prop- erty within the legal and constitutional mean- ing of those terms, this docs not mean that a municipality, invested with power to license or regulate the sale of liquor, has the right to re- voke a liquor license unless such right be con- ferred upon it by the legislature. The Commis- sioners under the old law bad no euch power conferred upon them, even where the license was obtained by deception or fraud. If a licensee violated the terms of his license or the provisions of the law he was linble to prosecu- tion, By the law of March 3, 1893, the power of revocation is conferred, but only to a limited extent. It is only to be exercised after at least two convictions for violation of the law, and then only as to licenses granted under the Provisions of that law.” aed ALONG THE WHARVES, An Awakening All Along the River Front— Gossip op the Different Craft. ‘There is an awakening along the*river front. ‘The fish trade has begun in earnest and sev- eral lumber charters are reported and one lum- ber arrival in port. ‘The latter is the echooner William Duire, Capt.
