CASES THAT WERE HEARD YESTERDAY

that delayed proceedings. There evidentl,
were SO many people in the Twelfth war,
that needed characters that the create
part of the day was taken up in hearinl
witnesses. Some were good and some hat
done much better had they stayed away
The result was that the list of HI lait
out by the judges kept them unit
after'6 o'clock Judge Slagle wanted t,
stop earlier, but Judge Collier was bount
to stick it out, and finished the list as fal
as the Fifteenth ward He intends to com
plete the Eighteenth ward to-day and will
hold court on Saturday.
On Monday afternoon the License Court
aggregation, with its toboggan slide attach.
ment, will open up on the Allegheny list
AT least it is scheduled to do so, and Judge
Collier sticks close to the schedule. In
many instances work was done with q
rush, and in the Eleventh ward, where
characters are all above par and witnesses
are not needed, four passed through the fire
in exactly five minutes. Old license holders
continue to have an easy time, but new men
have to stand fire.
One of the New Features.
The main feature brought out yesterday
was that the old stagers who have been
knocked out time and again have learned
some sense. New men have taken their
places. This feature made the court duller
than usual for only the records of these
famous old houses could be brought up.
Some of the new men have every show for
pulling through and houses will be scattered
pretty freely out Penn avenue and on the

almost sure to be broke.
Another feature is that applicants are
hustling for attorneys, and the lawyers
have made sort of general Office of the
rear entrance to the courtroom. Applicants
make motions to the attorneys and then meet
them outside. The court and audience too,
were much puzzled yesterday. Many of the
Penn avenue applicants, when they took the
oath, simply put up two fingers, and the
question now is as to whether this is the
sign of some dread secret society or merely
matter of habit in calling for 'two beers. T"
Judge Collier indicated yesterday that he
would receive remonstrances at any time.
One was filed yesterday, and he said that in
all remonstrances filed after the regular
time notice must be sent to the person
against whom the protest is made.
Must Speak Out Clearly.
Incense
tery wheel yesterday were those from the
Tenth ward. William Best and Jones Nc
Dade, of 1902 Penn avenue, leading off
Ex-Judge Fetterman represented them, and
as his clarion tones were almost whispers
Judge Slagle broke out again with the de-
mand that he and all other attorneys and
witnesses speak louder He had repeated
the request number of times before, but
said this was the last time he would speak
of it, and if they did not raise their voices
he would consider they were saying some
thing they feared the Court 20 hear.
Joseph A. Carline, 1851 Liberty avenue,
had not filed bond He did not know it
was necessary, and the Court believed such
ignorance was expensive. Felix Henle,
1921 Penn avenue, probably got scared, and
did not answer
Denis Murphy, of 1913 and 1915 Penn
avenue, came next unattended. He was
nervous and was getting badly mixed up,
but Just then his attorney appeared and
called number of witnesses who proved
the necessity of the place. 1t is a great
place for mill men, who are only allowed 25
minutes tor dinner.
Philip Stack, of 1913 Penn avenue had
remonstrance against him. but he pulled
through easily. The other applicants in the
Tenth ward were James Foster, 1644 Penn
avenue; r. j. Haslett, Nineteenth street
and Penn avenue; d. Haggerty, 1901 Penn
avenue; ID. B. Kelly, 1908 Penn avenue;
James Mills, I'LL aud 1713 Penn avenue;
Henry Omert, 1914 Penn avenue. They all
had licenses before, and passed easily.
George Boland, of 20 Center avenue, had
license last year and is all right.
George Gotthart, of 4S9 Fifth avenue,
had a wholesale license in 1890 but had sold
retail. Judge White told him last year
that if he had good restaurant there he
would likely get license next year. At
torney Floyd asked for fulfillment of this
contract. There is good chance of its be-
ing done.

kirkpatrick street, is a new man and had
wholesale license in 1890, When examined

young man who would with the permission
of court, open q saloon at 2S7 wyiie avenue. |
