G. Colaren, who appear for the land owners concerned. The hearing was not concluded today, and the matter will be again taken up before Justice Gould Tuesday morning next at 10 o'clock. The persons whose land la to be con demned are opposing the Commissioners In their efforts to have the report of the ap praisers vacated and set aside and a jury summoned to reappraise the land to he taken. The appraisers?Messrs. Thomas W. Smith, William A. H. Church and Samuel Benslnger?awarded from $3,500 to Jt.OOO for each of the parcels of ground to bo appro priated, which awards, the District Com missioners assert, are excessive and unjust. The Jury in the matter of the extension of 18th street from Woodley road to Balti more street met at the city ball late yester day afternoon and concluded the taking of testimony regarding the damages and ben efits which will result to adjacent property from the extension. An adjournmnt was taken by the Jury until Monday next at 11 o'clock, when the jury will hold a final ses sion for the purpose of hearing "summing up" arguments by the attorneys for the parties interested In the condemnation pro ceedings. There was also a meeting of the ap praisers appointed by the court to condemn ground necessary for the approaches to the new Anacostia bridge, at the city hall late yesterday, during which testimony in behalf of the property owners concerned was heard by the appraisers. The hearing in this case was resumed this afternoon. In connection with the proceedings to ex tend M street northeast from Bladensburg road to 28th street, tlie condemnation Jury met at the city hall this afternoon and re sumed the hearing of evidence in behalf of the owners of the property to be con demned for the extension. The hearing of evidence had not been concluded at a late hour. OPPOSE GOLF CLUB LICENSE. Anti-Saloon League Addresses Protest to Commissioners. An energetic protest was received by the Commissioners today from James L. Ewin, president of the Anti-Saloon League of the District, against the recommendation ad vanced by the excise board to make an ex ception of the Columbia Golf Club I11 the issue of a liquor license within the mile limit of the Soldiers' Home. The excise board, :n its annual report, stated that the granting of a license to the golf club could not possibly violate the intent of the "mile limit law," because It would be impossible for old soldiers from the home to procure Intoxicants at the club house, either from members or attendants. President Ewin re minds the Commissioners of "the indigna tion awakened a year ago when an invasion of the mile limit was attempted during the last hours of the Fifty-eighth Congress. The Commissioners have acknowledged re ceipt of the communication, and assured tne writer that the protest will be given consideration. CAPITOL HILL WOODMEN.
