JUDGES ARE POSTED.
They Have Investigated the Accom-
modations Of Applicants.
PROGRAMME FOR TO-DAY'SsESSION
One Man Who Is Ready to Take Out Two
Kinds of License.
ALL THE NEWS OF THE COUNTY COURTS

The Judges of the License Court have
disclosed the fact that they are not wholly
content with the statements made by ap-
plcants, but are doing some investigating
for themselves. The Court has all along
been very particular In asking the appli-
cams about the size of their houses and the
number OF rooms they have.
In one case yesterday the applicant said
his dining room was 14x1S.
"Why," said Judge Collier, ''the engi-
neer that measured it for us saws it is only
1Ox1S" The cat was out. This.was the
first intimation the Court had thrown ont
that such work had been done, and it is
considered that Judge Collier did not i'm
tend TO give it away. Whether this is true
or not, Judge Collier caught several of the
applicants in the same manner in the after
noon.
The progress made yesterday indicates
that the work of the License Court will not
be accomplished until the last of next week,
instead of to-day as was expected, and
Judge Collier said last evening that the AL
1egheny list need not be expected yet for
several days. ''The people must be pa
tient," said he. 1--WE are doing our very
best-working night and day-and are just
as anxious to get the work off our hands as
the people are to know the result; but there
is a limit 10 our capacitJ. We cannot do
the impossible"

the example of young man in the Thirty
fourth ward. He was Joseph Grinesky. and
ii was his first application. He is Hun
Sarian and made AN excellent appearance.
