ASTORIA HIT COM
PROMISE i THIS
PROTECTED PLAN OF NEW
YORK TO MINIMIZE KVIL
OF OPEN SALOONS.
WASIf THEM, ANYHOWl
When the "committee of fourteen'
which has been very active in all mat- j
ters of excise "reform" in this city i
and in the betterment, of the excise (Women
system along the most practical and
Bot sentimental lines, starts a vigor
ms campaign for limited "Sunday
openings" and has the backing of an
influential contingent in the clergy,
including the Reverend Doctor
Peters, there is surely some prospect
of a partial ending at least of the farce
f Sunday liquor-law enforcement
The committee's bill is the result of
long study and investigation of
Jiqoor-selling conditions, and iis pro
visions project no fine-spun theories.
Briefly, the plan is to grant special
licenses to the keepers of saloons
whose premises are directly on the
street and have, entrances and exits
in full view of passers-by, but .have
so interior communication with any
other premises that may be in the
boiiding, these special licenses to per
mit the proprietors to keep their
places open on Sundays from 1 o'
clock p. m. till 11 p. m.; the cost of
this special permit is to be 25 per
cent of the regular license fee paid
and in addition to it. It will at once
be seen that this plan is a blow aimed
at the "Raines-law hotels", so called,
some of which have been the most
vicious and persistent violators of the
Sunday-closing law, although in most
instances keeping technically within
the law a part of the time at least
through the well-known device of the
"Sunday sandwich." These hofels
aow have licenses that permit the sale
of liquors on Sundays under the same
restrictions that apply to the regular
or more "respectable" hotels and to
clubs, restaurants of the higher class
and so forth; but the committee's bill
will contain a provision giving the
legal definition of a hotel eligible for
a Sunday liquor license as one having
sot less than twenty-five rooms; that
is a number much larger than is pro
vided in the present Raines law and is
presumed to be entirely too large for
a saloon-keeper to make profits on
Sunday sales where most of the
rooms are untenanted, as now; so
keeping up the farce of "running a
hotel" simply for what money there
is in Sunday-selling would be heavily
discouraged, and the result would
grobably be the gradual if not the
prompt, disappearance of bogus or
"Raines-law" hotels and only such
innkeepers as conduct bona fide est
ablishments would take out regular !
hotel licenses. It is worthy of men
tion and consideration here that this
same "committee of fourteen" has
been engaged in activities that have
resulted in the reduction of the num
ber of the more disorderly or pro
nounced "Raines-law" hotels from
around fourteen hundred to seven
kundred and fifty, or nearly 50 per
cent. The bill also provides for in
creasing the number of the special
agents of the State excise department
from sixty to one hundred and fifty.
about ninety of whom would be as-1
signed for duty here in New York; a
saloon-keeper with a special Sunday j
Ecense who violates the law for a !
second- time would forfeit his license;
and the number of places to which
liquor license of any sort would be
granted would under this bill be limit
ed in proportion to the population
a plan which is one of the- most
practicable and best-working in the
Swiss system of excise described by
the Commercial recently and favor
My commented upon.
It was "a condition and not the
ory" that confronted the committee
and its clergymen co-workers. Liq
uor is now sold unlawfully in Xew
York City at all hours of the day and
night on Sundays.
COSTLY ENOUGH
Want The Tariff Framers
to Keep Hands Off Stockings.
CHICAGO, March 20. '"killing
the stocking tax!"
A country-wide movement against
certain features of the Payne tariff
bill, which will be participated in by
more than two million women, is
seen in plans just launched here.
Chicago club women have determined
to enlist the National Federation of
Women's' Clubs in an attack on the
schedule in its application to stock-
in es and stocking material-
Features of the Payne bill which
retain the present high tariff on wool.
silk and cotton stuff, and even in
crease the tariff on cotton stockings
are also being discussed.
Mrs. Frances .Everett, president of
the Illinois Federation of Women's
Clubs, announces that the stocking
tax situation will be brought at once
to the atention of the national organization.
CHICAGO, March 20. It is un-tf
ethical, not to say improper, to wash
a young woman's face without pro
viding her with something to protect
her hair. President Schneider of the
board of education offered this ruling
and as a result the board at its next
meeting will be asked to make a
special appropriation for six rubber
caps, it is the custom at some
schools to scrub the boys regularly in
the morning, and it has been found
necessary to include some of the
girls.

CHICAGO, March 20.-A fragile

who lies dead because Alexander
Scott, a policeman, mistook him for

and shot him. Immediately after the

He said he fired after Finn refused

BATTLED FOR HIS LIFE
MINNEAPOLIS. Minn., March 20
A bear fought a crowd of citizens
in the streets yesterday and after a
long battle was killed. The beast,
which probably came down the North-
era Pacific track or the river, was dis
covered by a boy who saw the ani
imal hiding under a boxcar.
An alarm was given and a crowd
gathered. It was suggested that the
animal be captured alive, and men
with ropes and clubs surrounded it.
Once brought to bay, the bear made
such attacks upon the crowd that
none dared approach. It was finally
killed with a shotgun.
A NARROW SHAVE
CHICAGO, March 20 One arrest
was made yesterday and more are
expected today in the attempt to un
earth the labor plot which was at the
bottom, the police declare, of the
blowing up of the $300,000 railroad
bridge at Indiana Harbor yesterday.
Had the nitro glycerine which de
stroyed the bridge been ignited five
minutes earlier 300 passengers on
Lake Shore train bound for Chicago
probably would have suffered injury
or death.

rious othtr ways to reduce the evils
of Sunday-selling and stop making
the excise law a hollow mockery? It
would surely appear to be and the
scheme now proposed looks like a
vach more practicable one than had
heretofore been suggested. It would
at least disarm those critics who de
nounce our municipal authorities as
arrant hypocrites.
If the committee can now devise a
