L PLAN TO ATTRACT THE YOUTH OF CITY jbe the kind that exalts the homo' In tho mind, .heart and thought of all boys. "Is1 the Sunday School Reaching tho Older B6y7" was the subject of jo. talk by P. H. Brlstow. superintendent fC the Calvary Baptist Sunday School. Mr. Brlstow said tho Sunday, schools da not reach as many cf the oldor boya its -Is possible, and that great - effort should be put forth to make the Sun day school so attractive as to be a. magnet to those who do not come.

AIDS DEDICATION OF 1INGTI TO fwmW9m'' BOARD SEPARATION CARDINA GIBBONS i RESULT ran KALBFUS H G KENS )N CHURCH SUNDAY SCHOOL Propriety of Speculation Also May Be Questioned in Final Verdict. Interest In the vordlct tlio Commis sioners will find In the Kalbfus-Exclso Board healings centors In the guilt or Innocence of Samuel T. Kalhfus on the charges mado against lilm and the prob able recommendation to Congiess V separate thn Kxclso Board from the Hoard of Assistant Assessors, the two, under the present fiystem, being In the amu personnel. A third question may be brought out In tlio suggestion of some regulation concerning the propriety of a member -tof the Excise Hoard and of the Board of Assessors being a heavy speculator in real estate. It Is In evidence In the present Inves tigation that Major Judson once warned Mr. Kalbfus that It did not look well for a member of the board to bo specu lating In real estate, and In this connec tion It Is suggested by District officials that the assessors of tho District have unusual opportunity for learning lund values and to know of proposed futuro Improvements Propose to Regulate. The Commissioners aro said to have considered offering a recommendation to Congress on the subject that will regulate such Investment or speculation in realty that still will allow members of the Board of Excise Assessors or of the Excise Board to exorcise their con stitutional rights to buy and sell real estate or to deal In any other legiti mate transactions. In the regulation of the number of saloons In the District, the policy of the board Is asserted to have been to keep the inumber about the same each )ear and to prevent. If possible, any increase In the total. Tho Commission ers, it 1b declared, will ask Congress to put some statutory limitation on tho number of saloons, not only in the Dis trict, but also In Its subdivisions. Surplus of saloons In certain sections of the city is one of the evils most bitterly complained of In tho present Investigation. After Petition Signers. Another question concerns the qualifi cations of saloon petition signers. The Commissioners have hinted that they disapprove the alleged practice of cut ting up a piece of property for which a saloon license Is asked Into a dozen or more parts, for which deeds are said to be recorded, only for legal signatures to the petition. hTe Excise Boaid, ac cording to testimony, recently has been throwing out such signatures. A. E. Snoemaker, an Anti-Saloon League attorney, who testified regard ing this alleged deeding practice, has been asked by the Commissioners to bring them the copy of a law of some other Commonwealth which alms 1o control this question. Regarding the selling of liquor In pluces where Feder al llcenre has been secured where no District permit has been sought nor granted, the Commissioners may. It is said. Instruct the police to take action. Taking of testimony In the Kalbfus healing will be resumed tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock, and It is possible that may be the last session.
