Attorney Thomas In- Opirion by dorsed by Commissioners and Police Given Instructions. | The laws passed during the late war pro- {hibiting the sale of liquor to soldiers are held by the attorney for the District to re- * ij main in full force here, and the District | Commissioners, in approving that opinion, ‘have directed the local authorities to en- F s to whether these laws are still operative in the District having been | raised, as heretofore stated in The Star, the Commissioners referred the matter to their attorney, Mr. S. T. Thomas, and he forwarded his opinion to them yesterday afternoon. Mr. Thomas says that sections 1381, 1182 and 118% of the Revised Statutes of the Unfted States relating to the Dis- trict of Columbia, brought forward from the acts of August 5, 4861, and July 14, 1862, prohibit the Sale of liquor to soldiers and volunteers in the service of the United States or to any person wearing the uni- form of soldier or volunteer, under a penalty of $ ach offense, and the for- feiture of lic if the offender is a li- censed dealer. question nse Intent of Congress. In support of ‘this proposition the at- torney explains that Congress, in the act approved March 2, — 1893, regulating the sale of intoxicating liquors, declared in the concluding section that the same should be in lieu of, and as a@ substitute for, all laws and regulations in the District in regard to the sale of dis- led and fermented liquors, and that all or parts of laws inconsistent with were applica- thin one mile of the . be repealed, and this act the sec utes referred to are er states that the Statutes mentioned trict law offi ereas the act e the gen w ntoxicating Haque s dealing in them to have to do so. ‘Those r © not neces > act of March them. 21 of the 1iS1, 1182 } bag and 11s im the courts. ‘The fon to repeal must nec 1 e used, he j musi « such a repugr the 7 ° earlier r y fair . without destroy- nd meaning, would find » field of operation for law, preserving at the same time the of the earlier and constru- ing both together in harmony with the whole course of leg: 1 upon the sub- that the conflict be- and the sections of referred to is more the objects are tention to the gen- on, that particular case or uled by a sut its terms, pro- the intent vecial © providing for a is mi ent statute, ge d_applic ul or alter is List ul of the United State , are in full force. lating to the Dist: A Dissenting Opinion. Frank P. Madigan, who represents s of local brewers, and who is attcrney for them, told a Star reporter this morning that he thought Attorney Thomas’ opinion will not hold good in court. So f: as he is concerned, he is willing to ha Mr. the law the question of the validity of tested. Under the sixth secti of 18%, he said, the law that the license issued in a this act (S93) no liquor shall be sold or disposed of to certain persons, and prohibits the sale on certain «d The classes of persons the saloonkeecper is prohibited froin minors and others selling to are reading: “That under the lice ance with this ac’ shall be £0.d, given or in any of to any minor er in te an habitual drunk. ting liqu ay disposed ted person, or or to any p if such person's wife, mothe riting request that the shall ne Il to such per: or between ‘clock in the sold shali be kept ating liquor sold.” Inclusion Works Exclusion. he continued, “under the well- knowa maxim applying to theinterpretation of the inclusion of theoneis n of the other. s no inhibition s or volunteers in uniform enumerated in this section, and ason this prohibition cannot ap- under the ucd in ac- with this This position is manifest by Congress ubject matter of the in- of places securing a ttach to such license now attempted, when act of 1893 it snows, in n make it, There such prohibi by section 1 of th in terms as language ¢ that the act of 1883 was to be taken in u of and as a substitute for all existing vs and regulations on this subject. t certainly cannot be said that the sale to soldiers and volunteers was not a law of the District at the time this matter was being coasidered, and a general law cover- ing the whole subject matter was passed by Congress.

Awaiting Official Notice. A visit by a Star reporter this afternoon to a score of saloons in the central section of the city most frequented by the volun- teers from Camp Alger found their pro- prietors still selling drinks to the soldies. All had heard of the opinion rendered sy Attorney for the District Thomas, to the effect that the law forbidding the’ sale of liquor to soldiers or sailors wnen in uni- form was still in force, but each said he was waiting to be formally notified. “When a policeman comes in and tells me to gtve our country’s defenders the marble heart,” said one, who owns one of the most attractive places in the city, “I'll immedi- ately stop selling to the boys. I'm con- fident every other saloon man will do the same when he receives notice.” —_e Convicted of Larceny. Carrie Richardson, the young daughter of Rev. Mr. Richardson, colored, pastor of Mt. Horeb Baptist Church, was convicted today of larceny from the person by a jury in Criminal Court No 1. She was re- manded to jail to await sentence. Lawyer ‘Thomas Jones defended her.

The excellent facilities for trap shooting at the club grounds, the con- venience to the city and the ease of ac- cess to them, as well as the warm wel- come extended to all shooters to enjoy the privileges of the club, have resulted in in- creasing interest in the sport to a very gratifying degree. Previous to the practice shooting at clay pigeons tomorrow there will be several events at live birds. Arrangements are being completed for an all-day clay pigeon tournament July 4, at which valuable prizes will be offered. THE BOND SUBSCRIPTION One for $10,000,000 Received From a Life Insurance Company Today. It is Hoped, However, That Every Bond Will Go to the Mid- dle Classes. Among the bond subscriptions which rolled into the treasury today was one for $10,000,000 from a prominent lfe insurance company of the United States. Many sub- scriptions for large amounts are reccived daily. The record of small subscriptions has not in any way decreased. The possessors of small amounts of money realize that this opportunity has been given them and may never be presented again. They find that they are given the advantage over big in- stitutions and wealthy concerns, and they are delighted. None Will Be Crowded Ou While the rush of the subscribers for small amounts is something wonderful, treasury officals do not care for the im- pression to go throughout the country that the issue will be eaten up in a few days by smail subscriptions. This impression would have the effect of making holders of small sums of money believe they would be crowded oat and would discourage their bidding. This is not the case. It is proba- ble that every man in the United States who subscribes for less than $500 of the bonds will get what he wants, no matter if he does this within twenty-five days from now. It is the hone of the treasury and of President McKiniey.that every bond will go to the middle classes of the coun- try. Attempts of Wealthy Institutions. It is recognized at the treasury that many attempts will be made by wealthy institu- tions to get possession of large amounts of the bonds by having fndividuals subscribe and turn over the bonds after they are awarded. There will be cases where this will be done, but the officials will watch this closely and will put a stop to it in every instance when d:tected. The pro- gram of big concerns eager for the bonds will be to have individuals subscribe for amounts under $500 and to get possession of the bonds afterward. It is declared that the large corporations r>cognize that the bonds are worth far above what is being paid for them, and they do not propose to be left out if they can get in by an indirect route. Of course the treasury has no feeling against peopl: or corporations able tu zub- scribe into thousands and millions, but fhe officials are t @ to carry out the ietter and spirit of the bond act, which was to put these bonds into the possession of the laboring man, farmer, mechanic, clerk, etc. Z — COSTS AN OBSTACLE. to United States Supreme Court in Murder Cases. A new obstacle confronts the attorneys for Strather and Smith, the convicted murder- ers, whose sentences of death have been suspended till January 5 next, to p2rmit them to obtain a decision from the United States Supreme Court upon the question of the qualified murder verdict. The cost of obtaining the writ of certiorar! from the supr2me tribunal is $25 each, and the ap- plication must be accompanied by a dozen or more printed copies of the whole record in each case. Altogether the cost in each case will be from $100 to $150, and Messi Truit and Roodhouse, for Strather, and F. McKay Smith, for Smith, ar2 fearful that their clients cannot procure the money. Strather is very anxious to live and to have his sentence commuted to life imprison- ment, and he will make an effort among his relatives and friznds. Smith is hopeiess and stupid, and has expr d regret that he was not hanged this week. He will not and cannot get a dollar to save his neck. in case the men fail, as seems likely, the attorneys will endeavor to have the United States pay the cosis, on the ground that their clients are paupers and because of th2 importance of the cases. The application for the writs should be made October 1, when th2 fall term of court begins. Appeal — +- DEATH OF NED DREW. A Highly Esteemed and Well-Known Washingtonian Passes Away. The announcement of the death of Mr. Ned Drew, which occurred this morning at 8:30 o'clock at his residence, No, 716 10th street northwest, was a great shock to the large circle of friends who esteem- ed him so highly. Mr. Drew’s death was caused by heart disease, with which he had suffered for several years. He was a na- tive of this city, forty-four years old and a member of one of the old District fami- lies, his brother being Dr. J. W. Drew, the druggist. For twenty years the dead man was employed in the book store of Robert Beale, and there made the acquaintance of nearly all the men who have been promi- nent in public life in recent years. He was @ man of fine mental attainments and highly popular with all who knew him. He Was a member of St. John’s Lodge, F. A. A. M. Mr. Drew was a bachelor. The ar- ra.agements for the funeral have not been completed. ———— Memorial Service. Services in memory of the late Mrs. Jas. B. Davis were held last evening in the Trinity M. E. Church, Rev. Dr. Hundley, pastor. Addresses were delivered by Revs. W. H. Chapman and Geo. V. Leech, former pastors, and by T. B. Stahl and Dr. Hund- ley. The attendance was large. Mrs. Davis had been a member of the Trinity charge for nearly forty years, and was active in all departments of church work.

Some of the Noteworthy Features b Tomorrow's Big Paper. The Saturday ar this week will be a particularly interesting number, filled from beginning to end with timely and well written matter on a great variety of sub- jects. Naturally the war has a great in dictating the character of much of the contents of a great newspaper these day and The Star will, of course, maintain its pcsition in the front rank of those publish- ing authoritative articles on various feat- ures of the war. To the women tomorrow's Star will be a delight, for it will contain a fashion letter from one of the leading custumers of Paris, who has not heretofore contributed to its columns. While there is a strong and nat- ural feeling among women in this country, just now, against buying French goods, there can be no objection to adopting the ideas of French designers and having them werked out in America by Americ with American goods. In the matter of fiction The Star will keep up to its own high standard. In addi- tion to the installment of Robert W. Cham- | bers" shes of Empire and a short story of adventure for boy: there will be a capital tale entitled, “The Hermit Priest of the Santa Fe Trail.” It is a pathetic story by Henry Inman, au thor of “The Great nta Fe Trail,” and | based upon a legend of El Cumbre del Soli- tario (the Hermit peak). This mountain i peak derives its name from the fact that a rs the | home of Matteo Boccalini, a priest who lived there in solitude, and who finally per- ished at the hands of an unknown assassin. | The romance gathered around his memory is the theme of this touching tale. Among the other features of tomorrow's big paper the following are worthy of spe- cial note: fluence ns and thrilling story, j cave on its side was for some MINGLING OF BLOODS (illustrated). An interesting account of the people of Porto Rico, their history, habits and customs. An especially readable arti- cle, written by a man who has spent much time on the islands.
