Liquor License Case of the Press Club an Exception—Ur. Thomas and Judge Miller. For some reason or other the rulings of Judge Miller of the Police Court in the case of the steward of the Press Club, charged with violating the liquor law, has been generally construed to mean that reg- ularly incorpo bs are not required to take out licenses ale of liauor. Beeause of this impressi number of such organizations have m demand upon the ass e District for a return of their depo! fees. The a or, however, hi turn the fees, on the ground tt Miller's ruling was made in an exceptional case, and that he did not hold that such clubs ara exempted from the payment of ligense fees It is known that Ju self stated that he ended to nor did hold that incorporated clubs are ex- empted from the payment of the lawfully required license fees, and is somewhat an- noyed because his ruling in the case of the Press Club has been misconstrued. In that case, so Judge Miller is said to have understood, the testimony tended to show that membership in the club is re- wtricted to newspaper men; that only members of the profession can become guests cf the club, and in the purchase and sale of liquor members of the club alone participate, no profit from such sales be- ing attempted. Hence, so he is understood to explain, Judge Miller instructed the jury that if they believed from the evidence submitted that membership in the club was restricted te a certain class, and no profit whatever was derived or attempted to be derived from the sale of liquor, the sale thereof “being solely restricted to members of the club, they should return a verdict of not guilty. That the jury so believed was evident from their prompt verdict of not guilty. In further explanation of his ruling, Judge Miller is understood as saying that from the evidence he believed the Press Club to be such a class oxganization as to en- title it to be classed as a family concefn in the eyes of the laws ‘The attorney to the District Commission- ers is understood to coincide in Judge Mil- ler’s ruling, being of the opinion that’ the court acted within the law and facts in that particular case. But he is understood as holding that there is, so far as he knows, no organization in the District similar to the Press Club in its restrictions as to Membership and guests to a particular class; and, therefore, no other club here can claim like exemption from the payment of the required license fee. When ques- tioned about the matter by a Star reporter today, Mr. Thomas, however, declined to be quoted in the matter, explaining that vntil opinion had been officially requested it would hardly be proper for him to ex- press himself. a a ee DIED AY HIS CLUB. é Miller has him- Sudden Death of a Well-Krown News- paper Correspondent. Ed. S. Quinn, an esteemed newspaper correspondent, died suddenly in the Press Club about 1 o'clock this morning. He was apparently well a short while before his death. The cause of death was congestion jof the lungs, brovght on from thought- lessly going out into the storm without his overcoat. Mr. Quinn had been here in Washington about eighteen months, and during that short time had made a wide and devoted circle of friends, both among newspaper men and men in public life. He was correspondent of the Milwaukee Times ter of the Journal of that city. He secretary to Representative Som- i He would, in the spring, have taken char; of the tour of the Ma- rine Band through the south and west, for which he was making preparations. uinn was a member of the Press “e he made his headquarters, be- single man. ht he came in late to get supper peared at that time to be in the health. A few minutes before his he toid a fellow-member that he i just spit up a little blood, but he did not seem to regard it as anything serious. A few minutes after be was seen to throw his arms in the air aed with an exclama- on fall backward. Prof. Fanciulli, who was one of his most devoted friends rush- ed forward just in time to stop his fall and for the stricken man to die in his arms. Mr. Quinn was a fine-looking man of athletic build and was always proud of his great power of endurance. In detiance of storm, he often refused to wear an over- coat and scemed to enjoy_the possession of a reputation for hardihood. He won a reputation through a wonderful display of and skill in ching a wreck on ichigan. The wreck was caught in the ice as far out from shore as could be seen and every effort to reach it had fail- ed b use of wide breaks in the ice. He, by pushing a boat in front of him on the ice and rowing across the open spaces, reached the steamer, found that they were in a safe position, though bound in the ice, and got back in time to get a scoop for his paper and to relieve anxiety for the steamer. He was about thirty*five years old, of a quiet, amiable position and an address which made friends for him quick- ly. Definite arrangements for the funeral have not been made, but it is expected that the remains will be sent to Wiscensin. sealer goer DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. American University. Attorney Thomas today returned to the Commissioners House bill S696, “To amend the act incorporating the American Uni- versity,” which was reported to him for his views thereon, He says the iil is in good ferm and the obiect of amendment a proper one. He says that it should be fa- vorably recommended to Congress. Sends a Warning. Henry A. Hayward of the Treasury De- ment writes to the Commissioners to- omplgining of the unnecessary and ble risks taken by the drivers of the Metropolitan Railroad Company in whip- ping up their horses in order to cross in front of rapidly approaching cable trains at the corner of 1ith and H streets. He says about iwo months ago a cable train collided with a westbound Metropolitan car, which resulted in severe shock to the passengers and a hole in the horse car. Yesterday morning, he says, a simiiar col- lision avoided by only a few feet. He further states that there will be an ap- pulling catastrcphe if vigurous measures are rot instituted against that practice. Opinion Asked.

WEAR NO OVERCOATS. Letter Carricrs Have to Stand the Cold. While the elements were raging, the cold biting the ears of pedestrians and nearly freezing persons clad in overcoat, guern- sey and furs, Uncle Sam's letter carrier darted around corners, in doorways, and ran through the streets, attired in the reg- ulation short coat, reaching merely to his aist. It is surprising how well the letter carriers withstood the storm, and, never grumbling, made their way through the snow and wind. Then the question was raised, “Why do not the letter carriers ar overcoats?” resentative asked Mr. James E. Beli, superintendent of the city delivery, this question this morn- ing, and Mr. Bell replied that there was regulation whatever forbidding them to so. The postal regulations provide for and the only thing that as is no do an overcoat flict their wearing overcoats quiring letter car to deliver in uniform. The carriers are not interfered with, said the official, in times of severe ther, like this, for in- stance. Many of them wear their summer coxt beneath their winter one, and find it sufficiently warm, The letter carriers, however, speak differently, and one man aid that if overcoats were put on they vere told to take them off. This was put- ting it strong. So the reporter ascended the stairs to the room where letter carriers spend their waiting moments, and it was noticed that among the one hundred or so men there was not noticeable an overcoat among them. The carriers say that there is a notice prohibiting the wearing of over- coats, or any coat which obstructs the view of the entire uniform. But the men take it lightly, and complain but little. —___ A FEW REMARKS, They Went With the Fall of a Hill Horse. An exciting colloquy took place on the corner of 13th and F streets about 11 o'clock last night between a well-meaning citizen and a car driver on the Metropoli- tan line. A hill horse which was being driven along with the two regular horses slipped and fell, and before the driver could gain control of his car the platform had hit the horse on the head. Thereupon the well-meaning citizen took it upon him- self to harangue the driver in a very forcible and aggressive manner on his care- lessness. The driver took it all very good- naturedly until one statement, a_trifie more biting than the rest, stung him to the quick. Then he started for the man with the evident inteition of chewing him up. The man’s wife, who up to this time had been trying to get her husband to go on and leave the affair alone, now appeared on the scene in a highly dramatic manner. Throwing herself between the driver and her husband she uttered screams of dis- tress, long and loud. Of course, a crowd speedily collected to find out the cause of the cries. _ Meanwhile the innocent cause of all this disturbance, the poor bill horse, who had been forgotten in_ the more exciting part of thé affair, had re- gained his feet and was standing patiently waiting for the clang, clang of the. bell for him to go ahead once more. Seeing this the knight of the whip contented him- self with the remark, “If you-dida’t have that there lady with you i'@ pick you up by your heels and knock your head against that telegraph pole, that I would,” and, unwinding his brake, started on his cold trip once more. This same driver certainly looked per- fectly capable of doing all that he said he would do, and if it had not been for the woman's cries attracting a crowd the little man would certainly have received a wal- loping. When last seen the well-meaning citizen was answering the queries of a policeman, who had sauntered up after it was all over with the customary “What's the matter,” and his wife was convuised with tears. ————— Seven miners were killed by an explosion yesterday in a colliery at Radstock, Somer- setshire, England.
