rpARK CLUBS EXPLAIN
THEIR LIQUOR RULES
r lr.-.Unra Siirnrisfifl That the
I Public Did Not Know Drinks
Were Sold.
Members of the rowing organizations
irith houses along "Bonthouao Row" In
Falrniount Park nro sumewnat ai a
loss os to why tho fact that many of the
dubs sell liquor should bo so llttlo
tnown, and that tho matter should re
cently have given rlso to so much dis-
w cussion.
& Tho discussion was precipitated by tho
fi uinouncement of the Crescent Boat Club
ffl that tho organization had decided to pro
ki hlblt tho sale of liquor In its clubhouse
U "Wo sell Honor to our members and
havo for a number of years," said E. S.
Paret, for 25 year n member ot tho
!... I.iln Tlni. rM,. fltlfl far' tllA
last 10 years Its president. "We havo
tf made no attempt to conceal tho fact. Wo
?' v... I. .Kn.A try tn rnnvntilptirn nf Ihn
members that 's nil. Nobody can buy
ft.-who Is not a t. If thero Is any
park regulati. ili.it forblda it I navo
tot known of It.
'As a matter of fact wo sell tho liquor
for the good of the club. Years ago we
.1 Hi not sell any alcoholic drinks of any
sa
kind. Tho consequence was me mem
lers maintained their own lockers. Thero
Ij no law against this practice, since a
cabinet under lock and key Is a man's
personal property and ho has Just as
much right to keep a bottle of whisky
there as In his own home.
"But wo found that It was easier to
ieep a locker supplied with whiskey than
It was with beer. A man enn carry
a bottlo of whiskey in his hip pocket. It
Is different with a case of beer. So wo
sell drinks now, more beeithan anything
else. Not much drinking hakes placo In
the club. Wo make no profit on It and
very often do not break even at tho
end ot the year."
Scarcely any of the clubs havo liquor
In their lower club houses, but not nil
of them are In tho confines of the Park,
according to J. Elliott Newlin, an officer
f the Schuylkill Navy, an organization
to which most of tho Park boat clubs
belong. Ho is himself a member of tho
Philadelphia Bargo Club.
"We havo no liquor In the lower house
andXour upper houso, the Anchorage, is
outside the Park at tho Falls of Schuyl
kill)" he said. "Tho University Bargo
Club, I know, has nothing of tho kind
in Its lower clubhouso. but has. I believe.
a locker system at tho Lilacs, their up
river house.
I think this tvnlcal of the state of
Hairs all along tho line. Those viho
make an actual practice of rowing drlnlt
little or nothing. What llttlo drinking
there is In nny of the houses Is largely
Cf a social nature and In that respect
differs in no way from that which obtains
In other respectable clubs."

BIG NET OUT OF SERVICE
Will Not Bo Used at Washington Park
Because of Scarcity of Shad.
Tho old shad seine at Washington Park
on tho Delaware, after nearly a, hundred
years of service, will not bo let down this
year. Scarcity of the llsh In the upper
reaches of the river is given ob the rea
son for the abandonment of the century
old custom.
Tho big net has had some remarkable
hauls. Thero was a time a few years
ago when the number of fish taken
reached 5000 to 6000. This number de
creased In moro recent years until last
year the biggest haul was less than 300
llsh.
Between Pennsgrove nnd the Delaware
Bay thero aro a larger number of smaller
nets than ever before, and it is asserted
by experts that tho shad do not getNn
chanco to come up the river to spawn.
Beforo these nets wero placed, a largo
number of flBh reached the spawning
ground. Then the steamship Fish Hawk,
of the Federal Fish Commission, came
up tho river, and each season hatched
nearly 100,000.000 shad.
SUICIDE DUE TO FAMILY WOE
Man Shoots Himself Through Heart
to End His Troubles.
Family trouble so preyed upon tho
mind of George Lee, of Gloucester, that
he shot himself through the heart while
his wife lay sleeping last night. Investi
gation of the suicide today by tho au
thorities can trace no other cause for
the deed.
According to Policeman Blackburn,
who lives next door to tho Leo home, Lee
has complained for some time about fam
ily troubles. Tho shot which ended Lee's
life awakened the entire household.
Every effort was made to save the man,
but Dr. James A, Beek, who was sum
moned, said that death had been Instan
taneous. Leo was employed ns a printer with the
Welsbach Companh of Gloucester. Ho
leaves four sons and two daughters.

FIGHT OVER LICENSES
IS WAXING WARMER
Charges of Attempted Bribery
of Witnesses Made in West
Chester Court.
WEST CIIF.STER, Pa., March 17. Hav
ing completed his Investigation of license
applications in West Chester, Phoenlx
ville and Coatesvllle, the leading bor
oughs of tho county, Judge William But
ler has directed his attention to tho
smaller hotels, and It Is likely nt least
three days will be consumed In consider
ing these cases. It Is expected thnt de
cisions on llcenpo applications will be
made known Friday morning.
Two of tho West Chester applications
have been heard. That of Park Gable,
who Is asking a llcenso for the Brandy
wine Inn, formerly tho Farms Hotel, will
not bo heard until most of the other cases
havo been disposed of. Gable has con
ducted tho house without a llcenso for a
year. Tho fact that Gable, while proprie
tor of the Green Tree Inn. was refused a
license two years ago Is being used
against him by the opposition. Yester
day he was ndvlsed by attorneys to with
draw his application, but announced thnt
he would continue to fight for tho license.
The right for a llcenso for the llotrl
Parkcsburg, at Parkesburg, on tho part
of Hugh and Harry Brogan, was con
tinued at the night session. The applica
tion Is bitterly opposed by tho no-llcense
forces.
Charges of attempted bribery of wit
nesses are made by the opposition to the
application. The application of B. F.
Dorshclmer, of Coatesvllle, also was con
sidered. Charles Dunn, son of a former
postmaster at Parkesburg, testified that
Harry Brogan had given him $12 and toll
him to get out of the Stato March 12.
Dorshelmer later added J10 to this amount,
Dunn declared, so ho went to Trenton,
N. J., where ho remained until Monday.
"I lived In tho town Blnce 1S80 and got
drunk nt least four times a year at tho
hotel kept by tho Brogans," Dunn said.
I borrowed $10 from Harry Brogan and
Intended to pay him later. When I ro
turncd to Coutesvllle Monday, I borrowed
2 from Dorshelmer. A. 3. Jackson, a
special policeman for tho No-llcense Com
mittee, gave me $3 for expenses to coine
here." , ,
A dramatio scene was enacted when
Mrs. William Dlokson, of Parkesburg,
whoso husband committed sulcldo a year
ago, waa called, She declared she had
served notice In writing on the hotelmen
not to sell liquor to iher husband, but
tho note had been returned with the reply
that It was outlawed by time,
"You, Harry Brogan," she explained,
as she p'olnted at the hotelman, "aro the
man who robbed me of my husband."
John McAvoy and Levi Townsley testi
fied that Dunn was a man of Intemperate
habits, but on New Year's Day had
pledged to reform at the request of Town
sley. Francis A. Manlove, a Methodist
minister, said ho saw Walter Thomas In
toxicated and doing a cakewalk In a pa
rade. Provost Offers Use of Buildings

ALLEGED CAMDEN
LICENSE ORDERED
REVOKED AT ONCE
Court Takes Unusual Proced
ure in Case of A. E. Fried
berg. Judges Stnake and Patterson, In tho
License Court todny, ordered that tho
wholesale und bottling license of Abra
ham E. Frledberg, at 5423 Market street,
bo revoked immediately. An Immediate
revocation Is extremely unusual.
Tho firmness of tho court's disposition
to compel wholesale liquor dealers to
comply with nil the requirements of tho
Brooks high license law in disposing of
their supplies was made evident by tho
remarks of tho Judges when they re
voked Frledberg's license.
The earnest pleas of the Honor man's
attorney, William F. Uorko, and counsel
for S. M, Wass and his wife, owners of
the property, that leniency bo shown, and
thnt he blmply bo admonished for ills
carelessness In conducting tho business,
failed to convince the court that Frled
berg neglected to llvo up to the letter of
the law when ho sold whisky to Howard
Dickinson, of 5301 Locust street, a con
fessed drunkard, and solicited business
from his delivery wagon instead of con
fining tho sale of beer and liquors to his
store.
After reviewing tho notes of testimony
token at the hearing on the remonstrance
filed by Dickinson, Judge Stnake, speak
ing for himself and Judge Patterson, said:
"You seem to think that you can sell
liquor to an habitual drunkard during
the moments when ho actually Is not In
toxicated. That isn't the Idea of tho law
at all. If thcro was anything in tills case
Indicating your refusal to furnish liquor
to Dickinson, whom you admitted you
know was addicted to tho excessive use
of alcohol, you would have some ground
upon which to base your plea for le
niency." Tho second case brought before the at
tention of tho License Court today resulted
In the trial of Eugene C. Buck, of 2942
Gray's Ferry road, who Is under Indict
ment for forgery and porjury. Tho
charges were brought by MrB. Esther G.
K. Furey, of 1726 Cayuga street, at whose
home Buck is a boarder.
Mrs. Furey accuses Buck of having In
duced her aged uncle to mortgage his
property so Buck could buy a saloon. She
also declares he beat the old man on
sovernl occasions, and charges Buck with
falling to return Jewelry she gave him to
pawn for her so that he could pay a bill.

IN SCHOOL ELECTION
Meagre Returns in New Jersey
Indicate Total Below What
Was Expected.
THENTON. March 17. Meagre returns,
but enough on which to baso an estimate,
Indicate that tho attempt to get women
to vote on school appropriations nil over
New Jersey yesterday was not as suc
cessful as was looked for.
In cities Bchool appropriations aro
made by tho Board of School Estimate,
but In townships and In boroughs they
nro voted on direct by tho electorate. The
law gives women of New Jersey tho right
l-i voto on appropriations, but not on tho
election of school trustees.
Tho returns show thnt tho women did
not go to tho polls in largo numbers, ex
cepting where thcro was n contest. In
several places, however, they went elec
tioneering for tho votes of men nt tho
coming special election on tho amendment
to tho Constitution permitting women to
voto on alt questions.
In Hobokcn tho women made an effort
to get pledges from men for this question,
and In tho township of Ewlng, this coun
ty, by enrolling 27 women, they helped the
progressive clement of the clcctornto to
voto In better schoolhouscs. moro teach
ers nnd mi extension of tho cducatlonnl
system. Thcro wero 160 votes polled all
told, tho women cnrrylng tho election by
their numbers.
Tho prcsonee here today of members of
llie Legislature, as well ns of leaders of
all parties, mado posslblo the getting
of a good line on what tho women did
yesterday, the gcnernl trend of tho com
ment being that the turnout was smaller
than expected.
Tho "anils" hero will send out tracts
calling attention to the comparatively
small number of women who cmne out
to vote on questions on which they have
nlways 'nnd the ballot, and mean to use
It In their cnmpalgn against the adoption
of tho suffrage amendment to the Con
stitution, upon which the voters of tho
State will voto In a special election soon.
