Bill to Regulate Their Sale Presented in the Senate. Amendments Made to the Existing Law—Excine Board's Powers Limited. Mr. McMillan in the Senate today pre- sented bills to incorporate the Columbia Telephone Company and to regulate the sale of intoxicating liquors in the District of Columbia. The bill to regulate the Co- lumbia Telephone Company 1s similar to the measure introduced in the House De- cember 7, with the addition of the names of Robert D. Weaver, George W. Cissel and Conrad H. Syme to the list of incorporators. The bill to regulate the sale of intoxicat- ing liquors in the District is the same as that introduced in the House by Mr. Bab- cock In the last Congress. The bill amends the existing law to include cordials and hard or fermented cider among “intoxicating liquors.” Limiting Excise Board’s Power. The present law makes the acts of the excise board final and conclusive, but this bill makes exceptions to power in the fol- lowing language: “Except in respect to questions of law, when appealed to the Su- preme Court of the District of Columbia, as hereinafter provided. Questions of law may be appealed to the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia either by the appli- cant or by any contestant of record, pro- vided a justice of said court shall, after ex- amination of the record, consider that the excise board erred on a qnestion of law in granting or refusing a Icense, and allow @n appeal; and the issue of said license | shall thereupon be suspended until the mat- ter Is finally determined by said court on hearing. and the decision of said court shall be conclusive on said board and the license shall issue or stand rejected, as the action of said board shall allow or reject said li- cense: Provided, that such appeal shall be perfected within twenty days next after the day on which the justice shall allow said appeal, and that the applicant, if he or she had a license for the preceding year. may continue business pending the appeal; and only on the issuance of such license to an applicant shall he or she sell intoxicat- ing lquors.”” 't requires that this boerd shall make an annual report to the Commissioners an that the inspector of the board shall wear @ badge indicating that he is an inspector. If the location of @ bar room is on a cor- mer the present law requires that a ma- -% eae (0 Be DES RSL nd aap eas SRS ei al ae ee | jority of owners and residents on each street shall sign his application for a license, but the bill intreduced today re- guires that he shall also secure the signa- tures of the owners or residents on the cor- ner diagonally opposite euch bar room; but it is provided “that no person having a bar room license at the date of the passage of this act shall be required to obtain the sig- natures herein provided for.”” As to Miners. The law forbidding minors to remain in a saloon is amended to carry ‘uch prohibi- tion except when “‘such minor shall be in company with his parent.” The following amendments of the law are in the bill: ‘That the interior of every bar room shall at all times be exposed to full view from the street, except duly licensed clubs under this act, and in case of a hotel having only an interior bar room, which shall be exposed to full view from the cor- tidors or passageway along the entrance into guch bar room. “Section 7. That any minor, for the pur- pose of evading the provisions of the pre- ceding section, who falsely ‘represents his age, shall be deemed guilty of a misde- meanor, and be fined for each offense not more than $20, and in default in the pay- ment of such fine shall be imprisoned in the workhouse of said District ‘not exceeding thirty days. ‘ “All makers, brewers and distillers of in- toxicating liquors in the District of Colum- bia, and all agents of makers, brewers and distillers established outside of the Dis- trict of Columbia and*sellimg their product in said District, shallsbe requtred to take out the wholesale Mcense provided for in this act; Provided, That_when business 1s carried on at more thah One'place a license shall be required for ’éach place. Selling Withowt a Vicense, “Bec. 14. That if one cr more persons, who are competent witnespes, make com- plaint under oath before the attorney of the District of Columbie, or:nny one of his assistants, that they have reason to believe and do believe,that any intoxicating liquors are kept or deposited by a person named, therein in any place and are intended for sale without a lHcense, such attorney, or any one of his assistants, shall file an in- formation in the Police Court charging such person with engaging in the sale of such liquors as specified in section thirteen of this act, and in the service of the war- rant fer the apprehtnsion of such person search shall be made for such Hquors, and if found shall be seized “with the vessels in which they are contained‘and securely held to be used as evidence on the hearing cf such person; and in case such person shall be convicted of engaging in such business without a license, such Hquors, with the vessels, shall be forfeited by the trial judge and delivered to the property clerkof the District of Columbia and by him sold for the benefit of the sald District: Provided, That in all prosecutions 2nd proceedi: under this act prohibiting thre keeping, ing, or trafficking in such liquors, the find- ing of such liquors with the means and ap- pliances for engaging in the sale to be drunk where sold shall be presumptive evi- dence that such liquors were kept for illegal sale; and the proof of actual sale bare be presumptive evidence of illegal sale.” Wherever iiquor is sold in quantities less than a pint, whether to be drunk on the remises or not, {6 considered a bar room. ‘he bil provides: | An to Inspection. “That all applicants for license and per- sons holding licenses under this act shall allow the duly authorized inspector of the excise board full opportunity and every fa- cllity to examine, at any time during bus- iness hours, the premises where intoxicat- ing Nquor is sold and for which a license is asked or has been granted, and the same opportunity and facility shall be afforded, by the licensee or some person acting in his stead, any member of the Metropolitan po- ice force on duty, who has reasonable be- Hef that ths law is being violated, to enter and examine at all times such licensed premises, und no pergon or persons shall obstruct, hincer or in any manner molest such inspector or officer, provided such in- spector or officer exhibits a badge showing that he is such inspector or officer.” It is also provided “‘thgt no witness shall be excused from testifying in any case brought under this act on the ground that his answer may tend to incrimimate him, but no witness so testifying shall there- after. be prosecuted for a violation of any provisions of this act concerning which such witness may have testified.’” To Compel Witnesses’ Attendance. “Provided further, that the members of the excise board shall have the power to issue subpoenas to compel the attendance of witnesses, and such subpoenas shall be Served by any member of the metropolitan police force, and to administer oaths or affirmations in any matter affected by the Operations of this act. And any person having taken such oath or affirmation who shall knowingly and corruptly give false testimony before said board, or any mem- ber thereof, as to a material fact shall be deemed guilty of perjury, and on conviction thereof shail be subject to the penalty as now provided by iaw for such offense: Pro- vided, however, that when any matter has been determined by a trial in the police court such board shall take the record of such trial as conclusive. * * * Provided, that the provision in respect to females dis- tributing Nquors shall not apply to the wife of the Hcensee, and then only in the ab- sence of such licensee. * * * “Sec. 23. That the provisions of this act shall not apply to post exchanges estab- lished and tained upon reservations in States under ‘regulations prepared by the under © lations prepa ie ‘War and Navy Departments.” ~“ will play them, too, strictly according to rule. I have watched two Hafflingers, with PLAYFUL BREED OF HORSES. the Rough Game. From the London News. Of horses the most companionable are doubtless Arabs. They have lived for gen- erations in the tents of their masters, and have assimilated human ways of thought. Barbs and half-bred Arabs in Europe run the pure Arabs very close in this respect. They make noble. friends, but on a lower level, as playmates for the lighter hour, I know of no breed that comes up to the Hafflinger. In the Tyrolese valley from which they take their name I suppose they live as much in the company of their own- ers as do the Valvogniah cows with theirs. But they are exported far and wide. An Austrian baron who buys them up and does what he can to impart “style” and fine manners to these queer-looking cobs has sold two to the Prince of Wales. The trav- eling carriages of Switzerland are largely horsed by Haffiingers. In that lous health resort, Meran, they do nearly all the draught work. “Cob” is perhaps a misno- mer. They are cobs in their low measure- ment from the ground, but big horses as regards girth, length of body and size of hoof. The heads are huge and very plain. Haffilngers have been compared with hip- popotami and giant “sea horses,” and with very good reason. Spiritually they are de- seribed as “the dachshunden of the sta- bles,” because daxies are “the ways of the kennel.” It may be that people have re- fused to take seriously the oddly shaped horses and the oddly shaped dogs, and that both have thus come to look upon- them- Ives as a good joke. Comicality sits in .e Hafflinger's little eye. He laughs in his sleeve, just lke a je. Both waddle in thelr gait, owing to their absurdly short legs. The Hafflingers of Tyrol in a ‘6 ought to make the fortune of any circus master. They (like daxies again) delight in playing tricks, and will learn reugh es, such as school boys love, and their owner and bis man, playing a sort of hide and seek, man, who (being hidden, sought and found) failed to run fast enough to a “‘safe home.” One who was not quick enough I saw taken up by the waistcoat, shaken gently and dropped, kneeling, none the worse. The horses who were playing were over twelve years old. They reling around in sudden gyrations to lash out at each other, one sometimes catching the other's hogged mane or getting a pinch of his smocth coat in a bite, but never doing real mischief. One of the two I speak of taught a little game to a rider, and insisted on playing ‘1, to while away the tedium of a three hours’ ascent at a foot’s pace. The game on the horse's part consisted in catching the rider's toe between his teeth. It was the rider's part to prevent this. All the way up hill the rider had the best of it, but returning by the almost perpendicular track the Haf- flinger gained an easy victory. He did not Squeeze the boot. but shook it as you migh- shake a friend's hand—heartily. not roughly —and for the remainder of the road he rest- o on his laurels, playing no more that y. Hafflingers show their affection by Javish- ly kissing with the tongue, like dogs.” They are extremely self-willed—again a trait in common with the dachshund. Their paces are necessarily slow, but their staying power is enormous and their surefootedness & proverb with Tyrolese mountain guides and drivers. From the Philadelphia Press, McJigger—“Where's Jenks these days? 1 haven't seen him for a long while.” Thingumbob—“No; he's been. in a” state of intoxication since Christmas.” McJigger—"“Oh, come now, he drink at all.” Thingumbob—“I didn't say he did. simply visiting friends in Kentucky.” doesn't His Policy, From Puck.
