At the recent term of Elk county court
Judge Meter, of Lycoming, being ON the
bench, the question was raised whether or
not hotel keeper had right to have two
bars in the same house. The court decid-
ed that as long a the license had been
granted without restrictions, the hotel
keeper could sell liquor in every room in
his house if he desired to do so, and he
could not be convicted of violating the
law.-Ridgway AdrOeatO.

pie who heretofore have succeeded in re-
stricting the of liquor tn ten or twelve

ciates on the bench held that where the ap-
plieant for license complied with all the re
quirements of the Brooks law license
