SPECIAL PERMIT IS DENIED

Excise Board Refuses J. W. Brearly'sRequest to "Rush the Duck."

POLICE TO BE ALERT TONIGHT

Will Seek to Prevent Sale of Liquorto Minors at Watch-Night

Celebrations at Cafes.

Besides marking the passing' of the year101L\ midnight tonight also will mark thepassing of the "growler" and of "rushingthe can" in the National Capital. I'nderthe new rules of the excise board thepurchase of a can or pitcher of beer fromthe saloon for home consumption will bebarred just as soon as the baby year 1913makes its debut.Many a "growler rusher" is expected to

be on hand tonight to get a last pitcherof "suds" and to linger long over thefinal can from the corner saloon."Tonight the growler dies," commented

a veteran saloonkeeper today. "I think Iwill distribute pieces of crepe or other Jblack material to be fastened upon the Idead ducks."

Is Refused Growler Permit.One of those who object to the withdrawalof the "growler" privilege Is J. W.

Brearly, and he today sought from theexcise board special permission to go tothe neighboring saloon of an evening andhave a can tilled up. In a letter to theboard he says:

"As a resident and taxpayer at 413 10thstreet northeast, 1 hereby make writtenapplication to rush the duck,' or, as thepapers describe it, chase the growler,' as1 am one of the many In this city whoenjoys getting my can of beer and sittingat home reading and drinking beerout of said can, as 1 would rather dothan spend my evenings in a bar;oom.""Brearly expresses my sentiments,"

said a man who is opposed to the orderagainst growlers,' but I haven't thenerve to make written application."The application was given the official

stamp of disapproval, and he will be sonotified.

Urges Enforcement of Law.While Brearly is anxious to get permissionto continue "rushing the growler,"the excise board received a message

from Mrs. F. A. MacAllister, 1229 8thstreet northwest, urging an enforcementof the order."I have had it at my back door for

nine years," Mrs. MacAllister wrote. "Ihave seen beer carried through anddrank in the alley by all classes of people:have seen boys and girls not morethan ten years old go in the back gateof saloon premises and come out withbeer in buckets or pitchers. I havewatched these children sip the beer asthey walked away."Please, for the sake of these young

children, do all you can to enforce thelaw doing away with the 'growler' business.

Police to Watch for Minors.Strict watch Is to be maintained by the

police tonight for violations of the lawwhich prohibits the sale of liquor to ,minors, it being realized that many '

minors probably will be among those inthe crowds around "flowing bowls" to 1

watch the old year out and the newyear in. 'Albert E. Shoemaker, attorney for the

Anti-Saloon League, called upon Chief 1of Police Sylvester this morning and ask- (ed that the police be instructed to payparticular attention tonignt to placeswhere watchers will celebrate the birth tof a new year with exuberant spirits, iHe informed Maj. Sylvester that he hadseen many minors enter a hotel roomwhere liquors were sold a few weeks ago. 1

Mr. Shoemaker announced today that '

he intends to be in the business section jof the city tonight to satisfy himself jas to the sale of liquor to minors.

Must Close at Midnight. ^

Under the provisions of the law all 1

places where liquor is dispensed, hotels '

excepted, are required to close theirdoors promptly at midnight, the law allowingthe keeper of a hotel or tavernto sell intoxicating liquors to bona fide f

registered guests at meals or in the '

rooms of the guests."And this law," said Attorney Shoe- 1

maker today, "does not mean persons1

who gather in hotels to participate in ^watch-night frolics. Such persons are jnot bona fide guests within the meaning i

of the law. t"Not enough attention is paid to the

enforcement of the provisions of the lawagainst selling to minors and intoxicatedpersons," he added. "Only a short timeago I saw many youths and several in- .

toxicated persons enter a saloon. Therewere polidemen stationed outside andthey said they were not permitted toenter."What the police department ought to ,

do is to have men detailed tonight towatch the inside of places where intoxicantsare dispensed, and not be content f

to quell disorders on the outside." i

From a tattered and torn document,written in 1730, the Supreme Court is endeavoringto ascertain whether the heirsof the first settlers of Tome, X.
