[To accompany 11. R. 1888.]
The Committee on Alcoholic Liquor Traffic, to whom was referred the

bia,' approved the third day of March, anno Domini eighteen hundred
and ninety-tbree,1 have had it under consideration, and recommend
that it pass with certain amendments, as hereafter stated:
On page 7, line 16, strike out Provided, That nothing in this section
shall apply to witnesses against the violation of any of the provisions
of this act, and substitute the following:
Provided, That no witness shall be excused from testifying in any case brought
under this act on the ground that his answer may tend to incriminate him, but no
witness so testifying shall thereafter be prosecuted for a violation of any provision
of this act concerning which such witness may have testified.
On page 7, line 20, after the word witnesses, insert citizens of the
District of Columbia.
Oin page 8, line 1, after the word witnesses, insert citizens of the
District of Columbia.
Oin page 8, strike out from line 3 to line 18, inclusive.
The committee submit that this is in no sense a prohibitory bill; it
is a bill to remedy glaring defects in the existing license law of the
District of Columbia, as shown by efforts of the Anti-Saloon League of
the District of Columbia to enforce the provisions of the law since it
became a law. Some of these defects in the existing law are so patent
they need only to be stated to be seen. A hearing was given by your
committee on April 29, 1896, and the committee submit as their report
the following remarks, which were made by sundry persons whoappewred
before that committee, representing the National Anti-Saloon League
of the District of Columbia.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
