LICENS: OR NOLlCENSE.
Judges In Huntington, Pa., at Odds on tn
 Liquor Question.

Judges in Huntington, Pa., at Odds on the
 Liquor Question.
 HUNTINGTON. Pa.. March 22.-Nominal prohibition, which began in this county three years ago, has been continued by the action of the Associate Judges overruling Judge Furst and refusing all applicants for liquor license. Judge Furst was indignant and stated from the bench that to his personal knowl- edge liquor drinking had increased un- der three years of nominal prohibition, and that every nook and corner of the county could boast of Speak -Easies."
 The Judge intimated that he will have applications for license renewed, or grant new ones by virtue of the prerog- ative vested in him as presiding Judge.
 Unless the action of the Court is re- versed by some method of this kind, it will result in the confscation of SC, 900 gallons of whiskey belonging to the Huntington Distillery Company, which cannot be taken out of bond because of the refusal of the Court to grant whole sale license.
