LICENSE IN SPITE OF LEACH
The liquor and temperance men had a free-for-all
tournament in the Bergen County Court yesterday
and the went down on a drawn battle. The first
important case was that OF Thomas A. Banta, OF
Midland Park, who has kept hotel for many years
The temperance peopk have been after him every
time he applied for license. but this is the only
time they have hit him hard. The evidence that
caused the refusal of the Court the license
was furnished by three children, from five nine
years old. who testified that they frequently procured
beer at Bantas bar for their father and mother
In refusing the license Judge Van Nalen denounced
as UNIT TO keep a hotel, any person who would
lower and degrade children by selling them liquor
whether for their parents anybody else.
1T Is a great deal better TO be a temperance
crank than a drunken crank" said Judge Van Valen
and he informed all hotel and saloon men that hav-

The next struggle was between the commuters
represented by James Leach, who opposed renewing
a license to Gillian Alderman. The latter's in

tilted that Mr. Ackermans accommodations were in
pod nor 1s bad fSied f come and
the license was granted, but the Judge remarked:
The Court does not wish to hear Of any demonstra-
fights Mr. Ackerman's license every year. The CON
troversy was exceedingly bitter in 1894, and the
victors had a tofcation at the hotel. with fire
works.

Grand Jury was one against Charles West, who Is

possible between meals, and usually a
late conner is obliged to wait his turn
for a seat at one of the writing desks or

According to the observations of all
hotel men throughout the country, the
smaller the town the more important

town the less important the hotel read

Of most New York hotels, though fur

guests, are usually deserted, or If not
deserted are patronized chiefly by per-

words, men not stopping at the hotel,
but meeting friends in its main corridor,
utilize the conveniences of the reading

transient guests, who for the most part
come TO New York ON business or pleas

The paradoxical thing about hotel

they are at the service in nearly every

more, are resident New Workers. Nearly
every hotel in the city has large mum

and when he does he is usually compelled
to wait until an outside person not

A PROFITABLE TOUR.
New England Men Learned Much Of Value on
Their Southern Trip.


BALTIMORE. April 12-The Manufac'
turers' Record believes that the result Oh
the trip Of New England cotton mills
people to the south will prove OF very
great value to the south. 1t has given
some of the leading men of New England
a clearer insight into the south and its
business conditions than they ever had
before. The Record says:
They wanted to see for themselves the
character of help employed In the south
ern mills, all the conditions surrounding
labor and anything else that would enable
them to form an accurate Judgment as 10
tho wisdom of New England people max
ing large investments In southern cotton
mills.
After careful investigation OF many
mills In the Carolinas and Georgia, every
member Of the New England party was
greatly impressed with the operatives In
southern mills. They freely admitted
that they were more than pleased with
finding that southern mill operatives were,
as general thing, so bright. quick and
intelligent, and also that all OF the mills
had the appearance of comfort and con-
yenience for the operatives.
