LICENSE HOLDERS

Men Who Dispensed Whisky in
Pre-Velstead Days in Ma
jority Among Applicants
COURT'S DOCKET NUMBERS
ABOUT 1500 REQUESTS
Fermer saloonkeepers who closed
their bars when the Velstead act became
a law wcre in the majority among the
new applicants at today's session of
the Liquor License Court before Judge
Stnake and McCullen at City Hall.
Whether they expected business te
"pick up," or felt satisfied that they
could make money out of a saloon even
under present restrictions the appli
cants did net divulge. Of all the
"new" applicants, however, nt least
80 per cent wcre former holders of
licenses.
Counting "new" applications and re
newals, about 3500 llcense cases were
en the 'Court's docket today. In every
rase the Court heard the evidence and
the arguments of counsel, nnd said de
cision would be given later.
The Rldgeway Heuse, at the feet of
Market street, was ene of the places
which asked that its license be revived.
The applicant was Augustus Butter
worth. The Rldgeway bar closed after
prohibition became operative.
William H. Ude asked 'for a license
for the White Swan" Hetel, at 7200
Germantown avenue. This is one of
the most ancient' hestelrics in the city,
and has held a license, unfll prohibition,
for fifty years.
Acted as Ills Own Lawyer
B. W. Lewcn, of 445 West Girerd
avenue, sought a license for that ad
dress. He was his own lawyer. Judge
Staake asked him hew he could hope
te succeed with another saloon next
deer.
"Is the neighborhood that thirsty?"
asked the Court.
"It is net that, .your Hener," said
the applicant, "but my neighbor does
net keep open at night. I have a res
taurant and many of niy patrons would
like a glass of beer. Besides there is
a church near me and at night after
Services there arc. always people who
want beer before they go home.
Marriett Hurst, 4307-09 Wain street,
said he had opened a garage ucress the
street when his landlord demanded that
he buy the property at $8500.
"Net long age I bought the old place
in at forced sale," explained Hurst. "I
paid $5000 for it." '
Jehn H. Jamiesen, at the northwest
corner of Seventeenth and SlgcFstreets,
asked te be transferred te the north
east corner of Oregon avenue and Chad
wlck street. Mrs. Sarah A. Tobey. who
keeps a saloon nearby,- protested the
transfer, saying there was no need for
two places.
Peter Burns. 4 Market street, asked
a transfer te i!U21 North Bread street.
Members of the Jumes Brands Me Me
eorial Church, en the opposite side of
Bread street, protested.

arnLlnKSL n8Ul"St "I
score of the saloonkeepers. I
The difficulty was that the rcmen-
strnnccs, through the League's lock of
knowledge of the Inw, had net been
eiierca in time.
Rebert J. Sterrctl. formerly Assist
ant United States Aterney. who rcn
resenteu tne league, urged thnt the I
Judges exercise the discretion allowed
tnem nnd accept the remenstrances
anyhow.
Mr. Sterrctt said the League had net
ebtntned legal odvjce until last Satur
day. Judge -Staake replied he would
take the mater under advisement.
The remenstrances were held up under
the following section of the rules,
quoted in ceurt:
"Section 12. All remenstrnnccs shall
be in writing, verified by nflidavit and
filed in court, and they must, set forth
specifically the grounds of objection, to
gether with the nnmes, ages, residences
and occupation of the signers.
"Section 13. Ne remonstrance shall
be considered if it hns net been filed
with the clerk et least five days before
the hearing of the application te which
it relates, unless a satisfactory cause for
the dclev in filing shall be shown the
Court. The clerk shall make no charge
for filing remenstrances."
Mr. Sterrett explained thnt the league
lmd bcen working lmra hlncc Saturday
1 complete its iwnenstrances. and thus
far had six of them ready, and would
nave tne ether completed by tonight.
llcfore the llccnse court sat the iiidecs
were in conference with Prohibition Di
rector Davis and thu following officers of
the league: Jeseph M. Steele, president:
William P.. Nichelson, secretary, and
Edmund Pensnll, treasurer.
Mr. Sterrctt asked that Mr. Davis
uc permitted te testify, after Judge ,
Staake had made his ruling, with the
object of telling tne court thut remen-
strances had been filld against saloons
winch nod been raided, in

The courtroom was crowded with sa

present nlse. The crowd wns se gieet
that the lawyers for the saloonkeepers
had te occupy the jury box.

WOMEN AND CHILDREN
ARE TAKEN DOWN UDDERS
One man died of suffocutien tuyl three
families were rescued when trapped by
fire in n third-fleer apartment nt 1010
West Lancaster avenue, Bryn Mawr,
at'2:15 o'clock this morning.
r Patrick Gannon,, forty-two years old,
strangled te deatli in dense niel:c before
he was carried from his room. He lived
with iiis sister, Mrs. Anna Snndles", ,
who, with her husband, Jehn Sandless, ,
and their three smnll children, escaped i
from n thlrd-flper window en ladders.
Quick action by Patrolman Albany, of '
the Lewer Merien force, nnd Ted Tu
lone, Bryn Mawr, probably saved one I
family of five from being burned te
death.
They were walking along Lancaster
nvenue when they saw smoke curling
from the windows en the third fleer of
the npurtment building.
They ran across the street and found
ed en the deer of the building, but could
get no response. Then they smashed in
the deer.
Reaching the second floep they heard
the screams of women nnd children, nnd
saw the Mulrway was cut off by smoke
and flnmey.
Dashing through the flames te the
third fleer, Albany nnd Mnlene led Mr.
and Mrs. Sandless and their children
te the rear of the building. Mrs. Sand
eoss pointed te the deer of Gannon's
room. He was found lying near the
deer, his nrm and shoulder burned nnd '
his hair singed. He was then uncon
scious. (
By that time firemen had nrrlved, '

PREMIER TO TAKE HOLIDAY
!
My tne .associated rress
Londen, March 0. Within twenty
four or at most forty-eight hours, the
world will knew definitely whether
Prime Minister Lloyd Geerse has de
cided te rcsijn or continue n chief of
the coalition Government. This is the
only subitnntlal conviction emerging
from a tanzlc of contradictory rumors in
eumstances.
Tndnv was virtually barren of new
developments In the situation. Mr.
Llevd Geerge remained in bed with a
touch of bin old cemidaint, bronchial
catarrh, wHch prevcntcd him from at
tending the Cabinet Council, ever which
Austen Chamherlnln presided.
The Prime Minister, it was stated,
Intends te go te Crlccleth with his fam-
:i ,.mn...i,i ,i Wmlnphrlnv fnr n liell
probably n fortnight. ,
Experts today were diametrically op
posed in their opinion ns te hew the
crisis steed as a result of week-end
conferences, some declaring that the
outlook fnr a continuance of the coali
tion was improved and encouraged the
belief that the Prime Minister would
net re-.lgn.
Others declnrcd nil igus pointed re
bin retliement nnd tnnt Liberal cel-
leagues, in his Mlnlstr.x would go with I
him. Seme were content te refrain i
f,,,,,, cemniittlns theniM-lvc- te any '
onlnien whethe, the result would be h
smash - up or a patih-un. liven if the a genuine and seiieus oppeItionkto the'
primp Minihter stnvs. nobody believes, met which could net be overcome by'
thnt the coalition cnii Inst much longer, 'merely letting the opposition talk its1'
though It mav be prolonged until Irish
iCKisutien and the Genua Conference i
me mil nf I lie wnv.
It is generally credited in certain
nunrters that uethluz will be definitely
"'.neunecl until the .speed, of Arthur
i.aiieur tomorrow, i -rc-fiuiucni liucr-
est in Mr. Palfeur's utternncci will be

Will Mr. Harding maintain similarly

in that case they will endeavor te attach
