The meeting was call- ed in response to numerous requests on the part of applicants whose applications for liquor license had been refused, with the ob- | ject of having the closing of their places de- ferred until at least the excise board had had an opportunity of examining the cases and taken final action thereon. ‘There were some meritorious cases in the number rejected, in which a hardship would be worked, if they were compelled to close their places of business at once. These cases were rejected upon technicalities, but ac- cording to the decision of the Commission- ers today they will have to suffer with the bad ones. The attorney for the District was sent for soon after theeboard went into session, and for over an hour he was closeted in the board room, giving the Commissioners the benefit of the law on the subject. There was a disposition on the part of the Commissioners to be lenient in some ca: but the attorney quickly knocked all such fhoughts to smithereens. He said plainly ‘when asked for his opinion, that he did not believe the Commissioners had any choice ; in the matter. The law on the subject was plain, He cited the seventeenth section of | the new liquor law, which reads: “Sec. 17. That all applicants who have had a license during the preceding year shall apply for a renewal of such license on | or before November 1 of each license year, and shall be permitted to continue business until license shall be granted or refused by the excise board; but in all cases of refusal to grant license such proportion of the li- cense fee as may have become due shall be deducted and retained from the sum de- posited therefor as the time from the first day of November to the date of such refusal bears to the entire license year, and no other person shall be permitted to conduct a business until a license is issued there- for.” Excise Board Rules. Then, again, he pointed out that the ex- cise board at its first meeting had made certain rules and regulations, the thir- teenth section of which covered the case in question completely. At the suggestion of Commissioner Ross he read this section, which says: Sec, 18. When an application for license for a person who was licensed for the more ceding year has been rejected by the ex- cise board the assessor of trict shall immediately transmit to the major of police the following notice, to be served upon the applicant in person or to be left at his place of business: Mr. : You are hereby notified that your application for a liquor license at No. ——street, in the city (or county) of Washington, District of Columbia, was on the — day of ——,, 189-, rejected by the ex- cise board. The amount to which you are entitled by law can be had upon demand. You are further notified that the above re- jection terminated all rights you may have had to continue in said business at the said place from and after forty-eight hours after midnight of the day of serving this notice, and that the police have been directed to see that the same is closed. A copy of this notice, with the return of the officer making the service, showing when, where and upon whom the same was served, shall be filed with the application. The Decision Discussed. Upon this statement of law and facts the Commissioners decided to reject the peti- tion praying for a withholding of the no- tices to close, and directed the license clerk to proceed and send out the notices. The action of the Commissioners soon reached the ears of the liquor attorneys and formed food for discussion during the day. Mr. Charles Hood, the representative of the Heurich Brewing Co., said it was an un- just order, as it carried with its enforce- ment the closing of ‘a number of reputable places that did not have a scratch against them, Mr. Frank Madigan, who regresents the Washington Brewing Co., said the opinion of the attorney and the decision of the Com- missioners was no news to him. He had expected such action all along. He would say, however, that it was a most unjust de- cision. Not as far as the Commissioners were concerned, for they had to decide up- on the law, but unjust because it would close up a number of places that the Com- missioners already were willing to approve. This was the busiest season of the year and the hardship would be great. a The Postal Card Controversy. Postmaster General Bissell, after a thor- ough examination of the postal cards now being offered by Mr. Woolworth, the con- tractor, has decided to permit him to con- tinue under his contract so long as the pa- per furnished is up to the contract stand- ard. Mr. Woolworth now has an order for 4,000,000 cards, which, when filled, will be shipped to Washington. Regular daily orders will be sent to Mr. Woolworth begin- ning January 1. ——_—o-—_____.

The Rush is Already On and the Post Office Busy. Offictal Advice as to Sending Presents Letters for Santa Claus—For- eign Mail First. The mail tells of the approach of Santa Claus. The pressure of Yuletide corre- spondence is beginning to be felt, and the | postal people are girding their loins for the rush. They will lend a hand to help ; Washingtonians give the patron saint of | winter his annual embrace, and will exert | themselves in making his reception a suc- cess. Mighty mails always mark the on- coming of the hero of the season. As yet, | the tidal wave has not disturbed the even tenor of the posta! service, but the sounds |and signs which tell of its advance are | heard and seen. Preparations for the post | and parcel flood are being rapidiy perfect- ed. Substitute carriers are held in readi- ness to execute the orders of their chiefs and to distribute that mail which will kindle fires on cheerless hearths and light jhope in hopeless hearts; which will tell | People that they live in the memory of | absent friends; that distance is no obstacle to unity, and that the season is one of hap- | piness and love. Sending Presents. Today there is a siightly abnormal move- j ment of outgoing mail. Washingtonians are thinking of the friends in far-off lands | and sending their tokens of love, so that | they may reach their destination by Christ- |mas. Europe is the main objective point of this mail, and the number of packages | how well those countries are represenied | here, and how strongly the memories of home cling round the minds of our for- | eign- -born population. Many of these par- cels will find their way to the dead letter office, if history is to repeat itself, as in past years a large percentage of the Christ- mas mail finding its way into the dead letter office has been just this class of matter. There are two reasons for this. It is addressed, in a large number of cases, by people who are not quite up to Ameri- can postal requirements, and then many articles mailable under the postal rules and regulations of the United States are unmailable under the laws of the Universal Postal Union. A good deal of the postal outflow is addressed to long-distance points in the boundless west, where the slow-going star route coaches holdysway and pursue their wild and woolly way. The swell of the incoming mail is scarcely felt as yet, and is a day or so later in setting in this year than last. It will begin to manifest itself about Monday, and by the middle of the week will be here in a spasm. The au- thorities will have to hustle to handle it Young America. A few of the usual Santa Claus letters have been received from Young America. They are addressed to Santa Claus, Kris Kringle, &c., and are variovsly signed Jim- my and Johnny. These letters are held be- cause of insufficient address. One yourg Washingtonian prays Santa to fetch him a gun, a sword and a belt, saying that he wants “ter lick the stuffin’ out’n Billie— what lives on the next square.” Sister Sue is on hand with her request for a doll, al- leging that her mamma is too poor to buy her the desired toy and that she places her trust in the bounty of Santa. Little Willie comes up smiling and says “plese unkel Santa plese tu sen me a perlice wissel and Klub fer I want tu run in some of the othur fellers.” Lighter This Year. Because of the recent money stringency the post office officials think that the Christmas mail of this year will be con- siderably lighter than that of last year. They also base this prediction on inter- views which they have had with merchants, who say that olthough the holiday trade is brisk it is below the standard for a corre- sponding time last year. The Christmas ar- rivals will set in about the 18th, the maxt- mum receipts will be reached on December 23, the decline will set in on December 24 and will remain stationary at about 150 per cent above normal! till January 1. Then the ordinary conditions will be resumed and for several weeks the parcel mail will be sub- normal. The normal posting of packages at the Washington office is 450 per day. On De- cember 19 it will be about 1,500; 20th, 4,000; 21st, — 224, 11,000; 284, 17,000; 24tI 7,000, and from the 26th ae the Bist tt wi run about 1,000 a day. is based on the mail of last year and an allowance is made for the expected decrease. Oficial Advice. ‘The officials are ready to grapple with the new conditions, In order to prevent disap- Pointment as much as possible the city post office has issued a circular, which says among other things: “At this season of the year when persons are sending so many presents by gees takes in addressing the parcels ely to occur unless unusual care is exercised by the sender, for, notwit all the efforts of the post office, some parcels will go astray. “I would like to make a few suggestions, which, judging from the experiences of past years, may prevent the Christmas packages being sent to the dead letter office. “Do not wait until a day or two before Christmas to mail mail early, expecially those addressed to distant states and territories; wrap carefully in strong Paper and place the name or initials, togeth- er with the address of the sender, on the left hand corner of the wrapper to insure return in case of non-delivery. “Postage on merchandise is 1 cent for each ounce, unsealed, and must be fully prepaid; if sealed against inspection or if package contains written matter the parcel is subject to first-class je, 2 cents for each ounce; limit of weight of merchandise, unsealed, in the United States is four pounds. “Merchandise is Mable to be returned to sender for the following reasons: If it be misdirected or illegibly addressed; if it bears insufficient postage; if package con- tains unmailable matter; if package con- tains written matter when merchandise rates are paid. “Only bona fide samples of merchandise, unsealed, can be mailed to foreign countries. All sealed packages having the AD pany of merchandise will be stamped to custom duty.’” addressed to Ireland and Germany prove |- WM.
