First Session of Court Since
I Summer Marked by Activ
' , ity in Seeking Changed Lo-
cation or Ownership.
The first session of the Llconc Court
Ince the early iart of last summer to
day brought out a long list of applica
tions for the transfer of liquor lleensci
from person to person or from place to
place. The list called by Judges Carr
mid Davis included 133 retail license pe
titions and IS wholesale cases.
The application for the transfer of sa
loon privileges from one location to an
other received the most attention from
D. Clarence Glbboney, of the Law and
Order Society and unless the rea'on for
requesting; the court's pcrmlsinn to move
rested on a substantial foundation and
for a new place In the immediate vicin
ity of tho old stand, the Judges did nor
seem much Inclined to favor such appli
cations, but they took all application"
for change of location under considera
tion. Petitions for transfers front person to
person fared better and general were
granted excepting In some cases where
trie license-holder had llnanclal difficul
ties with creditors. In sevcial cases Mr.
Glbbony Intimated that the men who
desired to have licenses transferred to
them were not entirely the proper persons
to have a liquor license, and thssc cases,
too, were held under consideration by tho
court.
GiniJON'EY OBJECTS.
One of tho lattcr's cla.s was In the ap
plication of Michael Cassano. of northeast
corner 7th and Christian streets, to trans
fer his license to Frank DeStefnno, his
manager. The Law and Order Society
representative questioned the manager,
asking him If the saloon property was
not a rendezvous for quetlonahlc wo
men. DeStefn.no denied this, but Mr.
Glbboney remarked to the court that "It
li fortunate that this man Is not here
on a rule to revoke his license." The
court will decide Cassano's application
later.
The petition for the transfer of Dome
nlco A. Turchl's license, from S07-OT South
11th street to the northwest corner of
10th and Catharine streets, seemingly did
not impress Judgo Carr.
"I recall a number of such applications
for this place and we will consider tho
matter," said Judge Carr.
The court was told the property at the
southwest corner of 7th and Balnbrldge
streets, to which Angelo Lebano asked
to transfer his license now at the north
vest corner 7th and Lombard streets,
was a doubtful location for a saloon.
Itr. Glbboney declared the place had
been applied for time after time and
had been refused since a license formerly
at the place was taken away by the 1W
License Court. The neighborhood In It
self, according to Mr. Glbboney, Is one
that should not have another saloon. He
also said the locality was so well sup
plied with drinking places that owners
of saloons In the vicinity would certainly
not favor another license near their
places. The case was taken under con
sideration. CrtEDITOHS OPPOSE TRANSFER.
Creditors of Samuel Relter, 621-23 Arch
Street, objected to the transfer of his
license to Abraham Salklnd, alleging that
they had received no notice of Relter's
Intention to transfer his license. The
court was asked to give the creditors an
epportunlty to protect their interests.
Relter, It seems., engaged In the manu
facture of envelopes as a side Issue to
tha saloon business and got into finan
cial difficulty. Thw court decided to give
the creditors a chance to file formal
protests before acting on the transfer
The retail license at 2301 Pine street las
attacked by Mr. Glbboney, who asserted
that the character of the neighborhood
Is such at the present time that there
Is no business for a saloon there and
that it should be revoked. He objected
to the transfer or the license from Adolph
Steudle to John J sulllvan Steudle wns
not present in court, but Sullivan, in
asking for the license, was positive there
was a living for a man at the place The
case will be decided later.
SALOONKEEPER'S OBJECTION
Harry J. Craig, who asked for the trans
fer of th license now held by Edward
aiurphy, at 1313 Race street, said he did
not wish the transfer if lie was not
permitted to remove the license from Its
present location to the southeast corner
of 13th and Race streets. Tho latter place
was a saloon property for many years,
but the license which was held there by
Patrick lalla.;her was transferred to the
Jiext door property on 13th street a couple
of years ago Gallagher protested against
another license being placed In the cor
ner property stating that the owner of
the building and his former landlord,
with whom lie had difficulty over ab.
normally high rent, had been seeking to
obtain a license for the place ever since
Gallagher got his transler The court re
served Its de.ii.ion although the outlook
does not seem favorable to the transfer.

Is puzzling the police of tho 2th and
York streets station, who are trying to
learn who assaulted tho victim. Cook
Is in the Woman's Homeopathic Hospi

Physicians say the wound bears evi
dence of having been Inflcted with scis
sors and the police are therefore looking
for a woman who they believe Is re
sponsible. To Special Policeman Williams the In
jured man said his wife stabbed him
early this morning while ho tlept. Thirf
Mrs. Cook denies, saving her hushuml
was not at home last night as far as
she Knows.
Cook, according to Williams, said he
nnd ills wife quarreled two weeks ago
and from that time until yesterday were
not on speaking teuns. He said he
awoke when ho was stabbed early this
morning and saw his wife leaving the
bedroom. He said Mrs. Cook quarreled
frequently with him because she wes
Jealous of his alleged attentions to other

night she said her husband went to a
pinochle party and fcent for her. She
left for home before Cook anil waited
for him several hours. He did not ap

ON HALLOWEEN IN
THE OLD, OLD WAY
f
Mirror on the Cellar Stairs,
Apple Parings Over the
Shoulder and Chestnuts on
the Fire. ,
Philadelphia Is busily making ready for
one of tho most enjoyable holidays of th
year Halloween. And not all of the war
ring nations of Europe or all of the war
ring politician of Pennsylvania could
Interfere with tho festive celebrations
that nre being planned for Saturday, even
If they wanted to.
For the last week or more the ra&n
have been freighted with curious Uttl
missives bidding nil Philadelphia maks
merry on this night. Cunning little
witches, straddling their brooms, aai
elfish ptxlea dancing round pumpkins, de
orate theso Invitations. And it's a poor
friendless mortal. Indeed, who linsnt ben
asked out to try his fnto and fortune.
This Is tho tlmo when the. supernatural
world Is abroad, the most propitious for
peering Into tho future Are you pos.
sessed with a secret longing to knew Just
who your mysterious "fate" Is going to
! he7 A.ould you like to anticipate the
happenings of the next few years? Are
you consumed to know if your status Is
to be maid, wife or widow, bachelor or
i
married man7 Tho Halloween spooks will
With venturesome damsels, descending
the cellar steps at midnight, a mirror In
ono hand, a caudle in the other, Is a
favorite means of making n future hus
band come out and show himself. It re
quires courage, but those who have tried
it say the experiment Is worth the little
prickly icy chill which is bound to creep
up tho bravest woman's spine.
And think of tho reward I For if the
candlo Is held at tho proper angle, and
the mirror Is correctly adjusted, and tha
clock is striking 12, then the face of a
swain, by all tho laws of Halloween, will
appear over the girl's loft shouWer BtKl
be reflected In tho glass.
Another popular favorite is to place
three chestnuts on tho fender of a grate
fire. Each nut Is an admirer that is to
say, each nut Is given the name of an
admirer. Tho ono that breaks open from
the heat and pops Into tho fire should
never, under any circumstance, be con
sidered In the light of a possible hus
band. He would stay at the club late
at night or bo detained at tho oBlce, or
disapprove of a woman's spending more
than $5 for a hat. In short, he wouldn't
do at all.
To know the initials of one's future life
companion it is necessary to do nothinsr
more than throw a few apple peellnge
over the left shoulder. Fate does the
rest, nnd the letters formed on the floor
will suroly be those of the person you
ore to wed.
These and many other old customs will
be tried out once moro by Phlladclphtans
Saturday night. Cakes will be baked
with rings, thimbles and 10-cent pieces In
thorn the rings typifying matrimony; the
thimbles, splnstcrhood or bacheiordom,
and the dimes, untold wealth.,. Boniplng
games will be played by tho mW staid,
and diving for apples a diversion indulged
in by every one.
Nuts and apples, by tho way, accord
ing to a dealer, are both plentiful and
cheap, so there's no reason why till
should not be the most successful Hal
loween ever colebrated.
A Poignant Anecdote
"The grent fault of American serv
ants la familiarity. To ho famllinr Is
to be ineffluient. A familiar cook Is as
inefficient as a pessimistic doctor."
The speaker, a prominent society
woman, is perhaps the most brilliant
conversationalist in New York, a fact
which renders moro poignant this
anecaoto,
"I had n cook," sho continued,
"whom I tried to break of her over
familiarity. What was tho result?
This cook, discussing mo In the serv
ants' hall, said:
"'I don't say she's a bad mistress,
but she's a woman of only one idea.
Why, I can't never get her to talk of
a single thing but eating.' "Washing
