The joint committee on license from
| both branches OF the council held a
session yesterday afternoon. The APP
| plication of Schachrel q Reuter- for a
saloon license at sol University avenue
was the only business out of the rOu-
tine considered. On Aug. Schachrel

made application for new license.
Due notice had been given, as provided
by law, of the facts. aud persons having
objections were notified to file the same.

came prepared for legal battle with a
stack of law books and accompanied by
IA stenographer. The professionals were
also Oil hand, there being dozen, in
Guiding several ladies who reside i'll the
vicinity of the saloon.
Aid. Conley thought it would be a
good idea. after the petitions against
granting the license had been read, to
refer the matter to the chief of police to
report as to whether the place was a
dlSorderly one.
This proposition did not meet with
favor, and those who had anything to
say why the license should not be issued
were invited to speak.
Attorney Haese wanted the committee
to understand that the law provided
the only objection against granting a
license was when the persons making
WI Tod
latiHg some provision Of the liquor law.
This could not be done, and the com
mlttee had no authority to refuse TO
grant the license. He also insisted on
his right to crOSS-eXamine any witness
who might be called.
The committee. to a man, sat down
very hard on Mir. HaeSe and his points,
aud three male and two female resi-
dents were heard as to the disorderiy
character of the saloon in the past.
Police Officer Kukla. who was said to
have evidence as to the diSorderlf char
acter Of the place, was not present, but
those who were made up for his absence
by the strength of their testimony Oh
this point. -,
