Pennsylvania Club's Application Op posed by Citizens. Residents and property owners in the vi cinity of 15th and K streets northwest ap peared before the District excise board this morning to protest against the board's granting the application of the Pennsyl vania Club for a license to dispense liquors to members in the club house, which is lo cated at No. 1120 15th street, near K street. Among those who spoke against the grant ing of the license were Mrs. Mary L. Ham ilton, Mrs. Mary N. Balentine, Dr. C. A. Davis and Mr. Toulon, representing the Warder estate. Attorney James H. Hayden appeared in behalf of the club. The application for a license was made to the excise board by Mr. W. R. Andrews, president of the Pennsylvania Club, several days ago, and since that time the board has received letters protesting against the granting of the license from Rev. Dr. Wal lace RadcllfTe, pastor of the New York Ave nue Presbyterian Church; Rev. Dr. Samuel H. Greene, pastor of Calvary Baptist Church, and others. A petition signed by property owners in the vicinity objecting to the issuance of a license to the club was also presented. The Pennsylvania Club, it was stated, is composed of members of the Pennsylvania delegation in Congress and former residents of that state now in the executive depart ments. as well as other prominent Pennsyl vanians. Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania wrote to the board urging them to issue the license. The speakers opposed to the granting of the license mentioned that the club is lo cated in the building formerly occupied by the old McPherson Club. Deprecating ref erences were made by the objectors to the conditions which existed when that club was in operation. The speakers in opposi tion to granting the liquor license to tlie club admitted that the Pennsylvania or ganization is composed of gentlemen of high standing who would not countenance ungentlemanly behavior, and who would, under ordinary circumstances, conduct the club as becomes gentlemen, but, the speak ers argued, that in the event strong drink flowed too freely at the club there illicit be created unpleasant conditions, such as to interfere with the peace and tranquillity of the neighborhood, and besides be objection able to the residents in the vicinity. Attorney Hayden, on behalf of the club, declared that the membership is composed of gentlemen who would not be presumed to create any disturbance in the neighbor hood. The standing of the members, he de clared. is sufficient guarantee that the club will not allow objection.!tile conditions to exist. After hearing the arguments for and against the issuance of the license, the board took the matter under consideration, and stated that their decision will be an nounced at a later date. PAYMENT UNDER PROTEST. Building Association Meets Demand for Tax of Four Per Cent. In a letter to Assessor Hopewell H. Dar neille Mr. John Cook, treasurer of the Per petual Building Association, states that the association will pay the tax of 4 per cent on Its gross receipts for the past fiscal year, amounting to J$4.416.72. The amount will be paid, however, under protest. In his letter Mr. Cook says: "We take note of your purpose to proceed by distraint If your demand is not complied with at once "Any distraint levied upon the property of this association would work such ir reparable confusion and damage to Its business that no reasonable alternative Is left lis but to pay the amount demanded by you; but by direction of the executive com mittee and In behalf of the association, its ' direetois, officers and members I do hereby I protest against your demand and the pay ment herewith made and exacted under compulsion of the aforesaid demand."

Claimed to Supersede Brooms, Carpet Cleaners and Other Appliances. A curious demonstration of the march of science with regard to the sanitary and hygienic cleaning of floor coverings and upholstered furniture was made this morn ing in the offices of the auditor at the United States Post Office Department. A small red wagon, on which was mounted a gasoline engine, air tanks and an air com pressor, was pulled up to the 12th street side of the building, a hose was quickly attached and sent up five stories, through an open window Into a suite of offices, and the engine was started. A nickel-plated tool, in action resembling a carpet swseper without wheels, was then fixed to the upper end of the hose line. This machine was pushed over the floors and the up holstering, and by a blast of compressed uir assisted by a suction device, all tnis being supplied by the machine 011 the pavement, the dust and filth was sucked out of the carpet and other fabrics, even to the dust which had sifted through to the floors. This device, it is said, is able to complete ly free the heaviest upholstered furniture from dust, cleans pillows and mattresses perfectly, and removes grease and Ink from the most delicate cloths. The man In charge made the statement that after renovating carpets by this method, they are left cleaner than when new. An in terested group of officials and clerks up stairs watched the operation of the ma chine in great astonishment. It is understood a local company, com posed of a number of Washington's most prominent business men, has purchased these machines for use in the District. It was stated by the superintendent that '.he company offers a very attractive perma nent machine for installation in residences, places of business, office buildings and tl.e like. The metihod, it is claimed, r -riders a property owner independent of carpet cleaners, brooms and all the old-style ap pliances. RESULT OF INSUBORDINATION.
