SEVERN MUST LEAVE Judge Pershing; So Decides in the Quo Warranto. APPEAL WILL BE TAKEN ! An Important Rule Affecting the Trans fer of Liquor Licenses It Will Stay Some of the Bartering. Special Herald correspondence. Pottsville, Sept. 10. Jmlge Pershing has rendered a decision against Mr. B. U. Severn, who declines to vacate the ofllce of Controller ot Schuylkill county. Ills Honor says Mr. Severn must go and as this Is the third decision to that effect, one being from tho Supreme Court, there seems to bo nothing left for the ex-Con troller to do but pick up his tent nnd steal away ; yet ho is still undaunted and declares he will appeal to tho Supreme Court. The fight Mr. Severn is makinir has be come so complicated that few laymen, other than those directly Interested and who have closely followed the proceedings, unuerstnnu wuac bearing judge i"ersn lnc's decision has and lust what Mr. Sev- ern's position is. In view of this I have attempted to state the situation as clearly ami concisely as possiblo so that the HER ALD readers may understand it. The first proceeding was instituted to test the right of Thomas E. Samuels. Emanuel Jenkyn nnd John E. Doyle to act as County Auditors, it being claimed tunt me Act wnicn created the uonnty Controllershlp abolished the Auditor- ships. To test the question Attorney General Hensel Instituted quo warranto proceedings and. while Judge Weldman of the county court decided lu favor of the .Controller, the Supreme Court held that on account of n defect in the title the Act creating the Controllershlp was un constitutional. Notwithstanding this decision Mr. Severn declined to surrender and asserted his right to exercise the duties of Con troller, whereupon he was made defend ant in a proceeding to show by what authority he claimed that right. It was on this proceeding that tho case was be fore Judge Pershing for argument on the 3rd inst. and was to-day decided by his Honor. I The argument made bv Mr. Severn's I counsel was so sweeping and exhaustive anu me opinion renuereu by duuge Persu ing seems to so thoroughly cover and care- iuuy weign nil tne points made that. In tne opinion oi many ot tne leading members of the bar here. Mr. Severn has no hope. Still the counsel for the latter gentleman will try to show the Supreme ourt mat juugo l-ersmng nns erred in nis construction ot the law as presented. The main noint made Jn behalf of Mr. Severn was that an entire Act of Ab sembly is not necessarily unconstitutional because the title falls to give notice of some particular matter contained therein; that the portion of the title which gives notice should be sustained. Judgo Pershing's decision Is brief nnd to tne point, lie says : "it cannot Do con: tended tunt this court has the power to either shake out the words 'In place of County Auditor' in the first section of the act, or to treat them as surplusage. That would be judicious legislation. Nor do we thlnU lor a moment that the Supreme Court was misled. When it declares 'the entire Act' of Juno S. 1SU3. Is unconstitu tional, it means what It says, viz: that mere is no portion oi it capable otenrorce meut when tested by the constitution. As tho defendant here can claim nothing under n void statute his defense must fall. "And now, September 10, 1894, judgment for the Commonwealth on the demurer, and it Is hereby ordered nnd directed that the defendant, B. R. Severn, be ousted from the ofllce of Controller of Schuylkill county which he claims the right to hold; and further, that he be enjoined from the use or exercise of any and nil powers, franchises, rights and privileges of such ofllce and that the Commonwealth re cover her costs from tho defendant." Some agitation has been caused by a new rule applying to applications for liquor licenses directed to be filed by Judge Pershing to-day. The object of the rule Is to prevent the bartering In licenses which has become so general among peo ple who have been using the licenses to make sales of their properties, lrrepecttvo of tho responsibility of the purchasers. The new rule Is : All petitions for tho transfer of licenses to sell liquorshnll be filed in the ofllce of the Clerk of the Court at least two weeks before the time, which must be staled therein, when the same shall be presented to the court. The Clerk of the Court shall advertise a notice of said petition once a week for two successive weeks in the same news papers In which the applications for licenses are directed to be published ; the cost of such advertising to be paid for by the applicant for the transfer of license. An exception may be made as to the re quirements of notice and publication, in the case of a petition for a transfer by the widow, children or personal representa tive of deceased licensees. When a license is granted to sell liquor in a house or place not before occupied for that purpose; or when the bouse to which a license may be granted, has not been used or occupied as a place for the sale of liquors for ono year or more prior to sucli grant, no petition for tho transfer of such license will bo entertained until the ex piration of one year from tho date of the original license. An exception may be made In the case of the decease of the licensee during the year. Adopted Sep tember 10, 1S04. Mrs. Brldgeman. U. C.
