Anv action that will remote tho tempta
tion and clecrcas tho practlco of drinking
1- jjew Year's I!o will be welcomed by
the treat majority of our people.
I realize that the Btatutei of this State
itemlngly do not give the courts authority
to command closing hours, such ns Is pro
vided by tho statutes of Now York and
lhr States. Honcver, If the court of
PMlaiJelphla would request the licensed
llouor dealers of the city to close their
rirrooms and ceaso Belling liquor on .sew
Tear's Eve It Is probable that the great
majority of dealers would accede to this
reoucat of the license-granting court.
Such closing would meet with the an
rroial of tho citizens of this city. It would
brighten many a homo that otherwlso will
lis darkened by a drunken husband, father
r ion. Such a request on the part of jour
lienor would ho abreast of tho gronlug
BuDlto, sentiment of this city and State re
tarding the sale ot Intoxicating liquor.
Believing that such closing Is tho deslie
ef tho majority of Phlladelphlans. I do
moat respectfully and earnestly urge that
jour Honor make such a request of the
licensed liquor dealers of this city.
Yours respectfully,
E. J. MOOItc, State Superintendent.
This letter was sent following the ac
tion of tho Anti-Saloon League In New
Tork. which requested the authorities of
la' luab vuy lu lu.uiuo iutj it iv&uiuiub uiu
EW'dosIng hour of saloons on tho night of
T New Year's Eve. Ono of tho reasons
& liven by the New York organization for
J lis act was that "at this time, when so
K, much distress has been caused by tho
European war and a pall hangs over the
civilized world, the coming of tho new
year Is a fitting occasion to cut down on
ill celebrations In the form of drinking
Intoxicants."

thnt If n, wedding trip Is undertaken It
will be mado by automobile, nnd that a
point ln Virginia or Maryland nearby
will be relected. It had been supposed
that the yacht Mayflower would be
choaen to avoid the crowds, and extensive
renovation was made on It by the naval
authorities. However, today It was said
that the ofTlcers of the converted yacht
had been told that they would not be
needed, nt least on Saturday.
The present critical stalo of the rela
tions with Austria and the general Euro
pean situation were expected to prevent
the President going far from Washing
ton. In fact, there were many persons
who believed that there would be no
wedding trip, but that the President nnd
his In Idc would go to the White House
nnd remain In seclusion there for n shott
time. A few officials professed to be
lieve that the couple might go to Wll
llnmstowti, Mns where the President's
daughter, Mm. Sayre, resides.
tnfoimatlon even 113 to the list of fam
ily guests who will witness the wedding
wns lcfused at the White House, while
.Mrs. Gait positively declined to receive
any calleis or to answer any questions.
Her tegular telephone lias been discon
nected, and to reach her by phone It Is
now necessary to call up the White House
snltchboard, thus permitting a censor
ship on Incoming calls.
Washington society was distinctly
miffed today over tho situation. While
It had been expected that the guest lint
would bo limited, there had been a belief
that certain Intimate detnlls. audi as the
style and material of the wedding gown
nnd tho like, would bo made public. Hut
a. the rcauest of the President, Mrs
Gait has taken only Mr. McAdno, Miss
Margaret Wilson, Miss Helen W. Bones
and one or two of her own closest teln
tlvcs Into her confidence nnd shown them
her trousseau Naturnllv the.v have been
pledged not to talk nboul what lhe san
There nre to be no outsiders present
