liquor licenses in cases where notice of applica-
ton had been published in the Deutcher Amer
ican still causes much comment Senator John

an extra edition, in which be makes a severe
personal attack on R. p Davidson and James H.
Smart, of the Law and Order League. In a
public meeting held by the league, last evening"
NJ FL. Gallagher, of the Deutcher-Amer-
;can staff, interrupted the speech of
Mr.. Davidson several times by loudly shouting
that Senator johnson never lied" He was
finally brought to order by threat of indict-
ment before the grand jury. The case in ques-
ton has been appealed to the Circuit Court, and
both sides have determined that if necessary, it
will pl omptly be taken to the Supreme Court
Senator johnson states that it is his belief that
the league is trying to fight the saloon keepers
over his shoulders and at his expense, and he
will do his best to defeat them Meanwhile an
average of over one hundred members are
being admitted to that body at each meeting,
among them being many prominent and infuen-
tial citizens.
