IN THE EYES OF THE LAW All Men Are Equul and on a Com men Pouting, Says Judge Edwards. THIRTEENTH WARD CITIZENS They Will llavo to Await Tliclr Turn In Court the Same us Kverybody rise. Peculiar Reasons Advanced for tirunting Licenses. Colonel F. L. Hitchcock asked court yesterday aflternoon If it would he deased to advance 'the hearing of the applications for licenses In the Thlr- enth ward out of the regular order tis an accommodation to a number of romlnent citizens of Green Itidge who are present In court readytu give testi mony. They are In a hurry to got back o their business. Judge Kdwards In formed Colonel Hitchcock that the wealthy residents of Green Hidge are entitled to no more recognition In court than the laboring man; that there are poor men working for a dollar a day who have to hide their time In court, and the Thirteenth ward cases would have to be heard In (their regular order. ltemonstrances were filed ugalust li censing the saloons of Kenaldo I.alll and Vito Glrardo In Dunmore. Uoth houses are on the same street and only 11 block apart. I.alll sold Intoxicants to Joseph Boschlno on the Sunday he murdered Frank Confortl. Glrardo sold liquor at a late hour to the crowd of which Vito I.ouisso was one, who was recently found murdered across the street from Glrurdo's hotel. The remonstrance ngulnst the petition of U. P. Krelnberg In the Third ward was withdrawn. There was a remon strance against the application (if John JlcAndrew, who wishes to open a hotel ut Mill and Kim streets in lmnmore. It was alleged that the place Is not n necessity tind is poorly fitted for a hotel. The disc of tiullughcr. Attorney Colborn reopened the case of P. H. Gallagher, of LMckson, ugainst whom there Is a remonstance. Wit nesses were sworn to prove thut Mr. "iallagher Is a man of good character. There were no remonstances against the opllcatlons In Lackawanna town ship, but there were several new houses and the attorneys In each cuse endeav ored to persuade the court that his client should be granted a license. Old Forge, the banner district of the county, was next called In Its regular order. Among the list of applicants ir many new ones. Assistant Dis trict Attorney John M. Harris asked for a license for William Herbert, of Biirbertown. "He is an Englishman, Your Honor," said Mr. Harris. "Where was he born?" asked Judge Arch bald. "In the state of Missouri," was the reply This slip, which was afterward cor rected, caused some amusement. At torney II. M. Hannah had remonstances against John Sanders and Joseph Te rtesco, of Uarhertown. The petition of Hugh Marley. of Mayfleld, was with drawn with the consent of the court. Opposed to tieorgc Shvloek. A remonstance was offered against the apllcatlon of Goodman & Weiss, of I'riceburg. The petition of George Shylock for a renewal of his hotel II cense in Olyphant was opposed on the ground thut Shylock sold liquor on Sunday and maintained a disorderly house. Before the applications In the Scran ton wards Were called up court returned to Fell township petitions and those of Archbuld borough In order to have a few corrections made. Beginning with the First ward the application of John K. Jones for a hotel on Parker street was nrged by Attorney H. L. Taylor, and opposed by Mr. Dawson. Mr. Taylor said thnt there is a large tratllc in that vicinity us many as 3u0 persons pass there in a day. Mr. Dawson said that he never knew of that many going by the loca lion wnere Jones proposes to run a hotel, except on la duy when some funeral passed by on Its way to the cemetery. Common Councilman P. II. Golden's application for a restaurant license on West Market street, in the First ward was opposed because that vicinity Is already will enough supplied with es tablishments for the refreshment of man and beast. Major Everett Warren and Attorney John P. Kelley argued In favor of granting the license, advancing the reasons that Mr. Golden Is a wry competent man, and that the growing needs of the North End require that sufficient accommodations should be provided. Attorney Charles H. Welles represented the remonstrants. Case of John I.115 hourn. Thomas Harris asked for permission to sell the ardent at 126 West Market street. Attorney Vosburg tried to con vince tne court tnnt tne place is a necessity and Attorney C. W. Dnwson had the opposite side of the argument The nume of John Laybourn was culled out. Some one answered that It Is an old house. Judge Archbuld paused with a quizzical look on his face and said, "How can this be an old house? This license was revoked last yeur b: cause It was not taken out." "Who Is attorney for this petition?" continued the court. Silence reigned supreme. Attorney J. Elliot Boss came forward to answer the name, of John Walken- shaw, who has applied for permission to open a restnurant at North Main avenue and Dean street. Mr. Boss offered much merriment by urging ns strong reasons why Walkershaw should be granted u license, that he Is n Scotch mnn,(& splendid musician, innd the lender of an orchestra., The application of Herman Hagen at 1112 Albright avenue was opposed. The application of Adam Spltzer for bottler's license for an establishment In the Second ward was opposed by Attor ney A. W. Bertholf and prayed for by Attorney Zimmerman. It was alleged that Spltzer, last year, conducted his place against law and order. That as the outgrowth of carousals at his estab lishment there have been murders com mitted. The last application .heard- was thu of K. J. Burke. A remonstance was presented! stating that the place Is not a necessity, Is near a new school house, and Mr. Burke Is a violator of the license law. ANOTHER PROTEST MADE. Petition Being Signed Agnlnat House Hill No. 30". A petition la being signed In the city by all the wholesale merchants, bank ers and commercial men against house bill No. 3G9, now before the house of representatives. The bill Is defined as an '"Act to govern and define mercantile agencies' and by section 2 provides that all mercantile agencies In the stats must have actual paid - up capital to the amount of at least $50,000 and a de posit of $15,000 with 'the state treas urer. They must also pay a specific tan of three per centum per annum on the total amount received from all sources; agents and correspondents In the state must pay a license fee of J. per annum: all Information furnlahed by mercantile agencies shall not be considered privileged communications as heretofore. The bill In its entirely is considered too drastic, and un earnest effort Is being made to prevent Its passage. DTTKRS I' ROM THE PEOPLE. fUnder this heading short letters of In terest will be published when accompa nied, for publication, by tho writers mono. Tho Tribune will not bo held re sponsible for opinions here expressed.) HOTELS AM) RESTAURANTS- Editor of The Tribune. Sir: To one who loves his country ana who sympathies with tho poor, ihe lirht witnessed at the court house mis morning was peculiarly distressing. Tho ourt room and the approach to It were rowded. Un the bench sat three grave, patriotic, t nristian juugea. i iu- listening to evidence 111 relation to the granting of licenses for tho sale of "vin ous, spirituous, malt, or brewed liquors at retail," and they Will be asked, also, to pass upon the quallllcatlons of "whole sale dealers, brewers, bottlers, distillers, ertlllers, compounders, store keepers ami agents dealing In intoxicating liquors," etc. If there had been only a few applicants for such licenses, it would have been a Bad enuugh sight; but to see Hindi crowds and o know that several hundreds, in amni on and vicinity, are anxious to engage in a work which, however lawful, is so In- urlous to society, making one s neart ache. Perhaps Scranton Is no worse in his respect than any other city or Its l in ibis Loeiit stale, but that does not esscn-the folly to say nothing of the" sin of Scranton respecting the use, or, ather, tho abuse of Intoxicating liquors. What utuu7.es one is the number or no- els" and "restaurants' there are in Scranton. If these be really hotels anu estaurants. Sciiinton Is well enough pre pared to entertain any ussembly or con dition state or national I nai may pe held In the near or Immediate future. Just think of It! There, ure twelve men and one woman who want to keep hotels in Ihe First ward, and the same number In the Second ward, and about an equal number In each of the Fifth. Eleventh, Fourteenth and Sixteenth wurds, while in the Eighth ward llfty-three usk the priv ilege of selling liquor ill their "hotels." Think of it! Fifty-three "hotels" In a single ward In the city of Scranton! And such hotels! Of the fifty-three how many are worthy the name of a hotel? Of the hundreds who ure asking for hotel Il euses, how many deserve to be called hotels? Very few. Yt the Judges tho grave, patriotic, Christian Judges listened to the appeals of these would-be liquor dealers. That is not their fault. The law compels them to listen. They would gladly shrink from such n task If they could. Hut they ure sensible men. They will do their duty. They do not owe their position on the bench to the liquor saloons. Doubtless some saloon keepers as well us saloon patronlzers voted for them, but that fact will not warp their judgment, for they are righteous judges. They know their duty, and they know with what large discretion, us well as with what large au thority, the law clothes them. They know that liquor saloons are factories which ure kept running day and night Sundays (with some honorable exceptions) as well as week days, and they know that what ever may be said in favor of these suloor.s they are factories which breed poverty and wretchedness; which make homes un happy; which bring grief to widows and which make hungry orphans cry for- bread; which propagate vice and crime, and which bring ruin to multitudes. These good Judges know ull this and the good, law-abiding, holm-loving Christian peo ple of Scranton have a right to appeal to these honorable gentlemen these Judges clothed with so much uuthorlty and ao much discretion that they will keep these pests of society within us narrow limits as possible. If we u.-'umr that one-hulr the ramilles In Scranton .ire wtirons of the saloon a rather violent assumption then one sa loon ought to be enough to supply the wants or u hundred families. In thut case Scranton would be entitled to u hundred saloons, un umple supply In all cons :ienr for this goodlv city. Bet If On per o?nt. tie added, then Scranton would hav.- a hundred ami II fty saloon "hotels and restaurunts" as'they ure euphemistically called; and sio-ely that Is more thr.li nough to satisfy ull reasonable demani s. That would reduce the number of II- ensed liu'lur establishments in Scrunton, and by so much as they are reduced In number, by so much will a step in lair city government lie taken, and that will bu u step In the right direction. A city like Scranton with a nuniired und fifty licensed drinking places "hotels" and "restaurants Is well supplied. Those anxious to increase the number of such places uud those willing to grunt un Increase ure not the best friends of l.iw and order, nor are they doing ull they can to promote the happiness of the American homo and the best Interests of the Ameri can nation. James McLeod. Scranton, March 12. lr. Carter Discusses Choirs. Editor of The Tribune. Sir: During this stirring up over quar tette vs. chorus choirs, 1 um besieged by muny asking me my opinion of the val le of each. May I use your columns to In form my friends that as yet a regularly uppo'.nted committee or representative citizens have not waited upon me, asking tne to give my valuable opinion, and us the board of trade have not, seen lit to offer a premium for my opinion. I assure you I um too modest to offer It to them. Simposlng 1 am booKKi-t-M-r in a iry goods establishment anil the owner asks mo to put down a quantity or pork to his account, am 1 expected to rush to the public with a discussion us to my opinion of dry goods and pork. I am engaged as organist and director of the music of the regular services t Kin Park church. As such I um not Justl- lied In expressing my opinion publicly upon the question, but am expected to do my best with the material I am asked to use. Then, If not sutlsfled, I know what I can do. The services at Elm Park church are of religious order uud not Intended us un exhibition of any one. At present- a quartet to assists the pastor and if any one Is troubled by that there ure several cnor uses In the city, and persons desiring a chorus to assist their religious senti ments need not long be worried. As to "high class music" am glud to say we are not annoyed with that "disease," and us our pastor Is the leader of the service, we, as the servants of lla cause, expect to do our best by singing Gowpel hymns, If these are of value In assisting anyone. I have never yet fidt thut Ignorance In the pulpit or choir was any assistance to church work, and If a better educated chorus Is to be bad than a quartette, I am for It. Tho best music for Elm Park church is my desire and our committee Is well adapted to wrestle with the sub ject. Strnnge how some people's religion Is governed by a qnui ti!lto or chorus. 1 have known ministers who becamo so enthusiastic upon the subject that th"y forgot the advice, "If meut cause thy brother to offend," etc., and actually forgot their "Master's business" In debat ing the value of a chorus, as If thnt point was tho highest aim of religious life) At Elm Park we ore listening to good re ligious sermons and huve not time to disturb ourselves as to one rad or another, but will do our best to do you good' if you come. When a preacher finds tho power to draw Is lost he, as a. rule, blame's the music, and when the musle gets after him his days of usefulness are limited. Come, my dear church people, If music la causing disturbance, put It out, but If you will ull go to church for a better life and leave tho music to the proper committee a wave of religious enthusiasm will hover about you and the chorus or quartette will uot In any way injure you. nincereiy, George 13. Carter. Twenty-five replies (o one Trlbun adlet Saturday prove that thoie adieu "do the business. V PLANS FOR EXTENSIONS i Have Been Prepared by Traction Com ' puny anil Sent to Philadelphia. MUST HE APPROVED THERE One of tho Improvements Decided on la an Kxtenslon of the Koad to Peters burg -Improvements Last Year Ho suited In Increased Truffle. General Manager Beetem, of the Scranton Traction company, in an In terview with a Tribune reporter yester day talked quite freely concerning the present doings and open-weather plans of the company. Blue prints, drawings and detail figures ad libitum have been prepared during the winter and for warded to the general oltlce In Phila delphia. The documents contain Buch Information as will guide the oltlcers of the Traction company In their exten sion and other plans. "It will possibly be a month," said Mr. Beetom, "before the Philadelphia people give me complete Instructions; until then 1 only know of one lino which will assuredly be extended a route up Petersburg Hill and into the Tenth ward. "Are your plans complete for the Pe tersburg extension?" "Yes, except in the choice of one of two streets up the hill from Qulncy avenue. The right of way Is assured and our first move -till spring will be to make the extension. " "Whut branch lines or changes in routes have you under consideration?" the reporter asked. Waiting for Instructions. "I can only say in a general way that we could make changes and im provements in eviy section of the city which would benefit the residents of those localities as much as ourselves. These points are all Included In the pa pers sent to the Philadelphia ofllce. When the officers have carefully com pared the separate llnancial Items, truffle, repairs, cost, revenue and a thousund und one other things when this is done, then I will get Instruc tions." "Mr. Beotem, what, In your opinion, would be the best line of operating policy for the coming open weather?" "Now, you have asked me a question easy to answer, but upon which I don't wish to bo quoted too literally. I can not give a direct reply, but I can tell you what 1 would like to see done. As suming that contingencies are favora ble, 1 would like to get orders to tear up every old line of track In the city limits and re-lay the whole thing new from top to bottom. Last summer and autumn on this line of work we spent approximately $150,000. The public has appreciated these improvements on Lackawanna avenue, the Providence line, the Green Itidge and Dunmore suburban lines and on other routes. Traffic Has Increased. "The track work and later complete renovation of the cars and changed schedules hus been appreciated. Our tratllc was 16 per cent, greater last month, notwithstanding the blizzard, than during the same period In K'M. Indications are that March will show a greater Increase." While Mr. lleetem was disinclined to discuss llnuuclal matters minutely his conversation on this point Indicated thut the traction Interest In this city is any thing but a speculative Investment or a shuttlecock plaything whose rise and full depends on financial conditions. PLENTY OF MONEY. It Is Hack of un Enterprise Scruatoniuns Are Interested In. The Incorporators of the Pennsyl vutilu Heat, Light and Power com pany, who are seeking valuable privi leges from the city for the purpose of conducting their business, are William B.
