The License Fight Made by the Calvary
Baptist Church and others Resulted
in Victory.

There are some people of town who, if
they ever believed in it, will probably
hereafter renounce the superstitious idea
that the figures "13" are omens of misfor-
tune These people are the thirteen who
Sc sured decisions in their favor before the
license court at Pottsyille. They
should form thirteen club and
set forth In the constitution how
they won their cause, while a COM
bination of twenty-three people before
the same court lost and are, consequently,
left without saloon Licensees The lucky
ones are the same as reported in yester-
days issue of the HERALD, namely
Andrew Navickie, John Slattery, Adolph
P. Tabor, Wincenty Banis, Patrick
Burke, John Doolan, John j. Delaney,
George Karlitsky, Bridget Finnegan,
George Rettick, George Nanjunas, Will
lam Dagllus and Mrs. Ellen Welsh.
The unfortunate twenty three appli
cants are Frank Cymbal, Bernand Brad
ley, John Dalton, Anthony Alex, Edward
Farley, Louis Komerowski, Kasimer
Sznpi mas, Frank Carney, Joseph Rayt-
kiewicz, Gustav Wschus, Andrew Biskko,
Joseph Llgan, Hyman Rubinsky, Philip

Baltromaix Tilwikaitus, Joseph Muraw
ski Stephen Schwartz, John Mitchell and
Harry Kurilla.
All the applications refused were made
for new stands and seventeen OF the
twenty. three were by Polish and Lithu-
anian people. Three were Irish two were
Hebrews and one American. OF the
thirteen lucky applicants seven were
Polish, Lithuanians and Slovaniahs, and
six were Irish The petition of F, j.
Brennan is held over. The number of
licenses granted in this county so far this
year is 955, and 104 were refused. Last
year 897 were granted and 81 were refused.
The refusal to grant Frank Cymbal a
license is a signal victory for the residents
of the south end of Jardin street and the
congregation of the Calvary Baptist
church This was one of the most bitterly
fought cases before the present term Of
the license court and aroused consider
aSle interest. Among those who took an
active part against the granting of this
license was Councilman A, B. Lamb, and
he attributes his recent defeat for
re nomination for Council, to some extent,
to an influence that was brought to bear
by people who wanted the license. The
church made a determined fight and
every witness who went upon the stand
including the applicant, was subjected to
rigid cross-examination. The refusal of
this application leaves Jardin street free
of saloon south of Centre street.
John Slattery, one of the lucky appli.
cants, is the boot and shoe dealer. He
will open place in his building at the
corner of Centre and limerick streets.
Tabor is the East Centre street butcher,
and will also open place in the First
ward.
George Nanjunas, another lucky First
ward man. is a Lithuanian of considerable
| education. He was student in one OF
the Russian colleges and is credited with
being political refugee. During his
residence here he has been working in the
mines.
