DELEGATION VISITS THE DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS
IN THE INTEREST OF THE RESTAURANT KEEPERS.
MeSSrS. James L. Barbour, Frank Hume, George
Holmes and large number OF liquor dealers, res
taurant keepers and merchants waited upon the
Commissioners to-day at noon. Mr.. Barbour
stated the object OF the interview to be to def
nttely ascertain. what course the Commits
sOners intended to pursue In the matter of
granting licenses He stated that he thought
where person had fully complied with
the law the license should not
be withheld. The main question in discussion was
ant within 400 feet OF a school building, especially
Ii the proprietor had been located there for years
with the consent OF the residents and property
owners, and had not violated the law. Mr.. Bar
bOur argued that the Commissioners might refuse
to allow any restaurant to be located within 400
doing business within that limit especially If they
were located prior to the erection OF the school
building, should not be compelled to remove. The
Commissioners entered freely into the discussion.
Gen. West stated that there were other interests
at stake besides the liquor dealers. The morals of
the community. the best interests of the city and
the education OF the rising generation were to be
considered. He showed that out OF 500 or more ap-
plicatiOns which had been filed only
32 had been rejected as being within the
prescribed limit. In his judgment not more than
a total OF DO would be rejected on this ground
only about 10 per cent
MIR. Hume answered that even this ten per cent
had rights. Gen. West replied that it was QueS-
ton whether the interests Of the city not bet
ter suDServed by making this number seek other
localities than by letting them remain The ques-
ton OF the time which should be allowed these
parties to remove also considered, but no def
mite action taken.

An interesting libel suit terminated In the 90.

weeks trial. Two years ago Hugh s. Peoples wss
charged by the Post ana Tribune with having
guilty knowledge OF the murder OF a girl with
whom he had been intimate. The girls body

Detroit river In March, 1873 The defense In justin
cation claimed that the article was a privileged

purpose OF ferreting out the authors or the mur.
der. Peoples was subsequently tried and acuuft-
ted, the charge not being proved beyond reason

ing $4,000. The jury yesterday, after half an

defendant, holding first: That the article com
