CONTESTING LICENSES.
General Sessions Court Had
a Busy Meeting.
CAMPBELL STRIKES A LAW POINT

ATTORNEY PRICKETT CALLED
NO WITNESSES. BUT RELIED
SOLELY ON THE SHOWING
MADE by HIS LITTLE BLUE
PRINT.
This morning the Court OF General
Sessions took up the contested license
cases. In the wholesale license case OF
Harry M. Campbell, of Newark, who
was represented by Charles b. Evans
and Walter II. Hayes, a question OIL
law arose and the court held IL under
advisement. IL was contended by the
opposition that the court had no juris-
diction as the applicant could get his
license from the clerk of the peace
Judge Cullen said that II was an i'm
portant question which had never be-
fore been brought up.
In opposing the application OF Mar
garet b. He'll, of No. 109 West Fourth
street, who had no counsel Mr.. Prick
EFT stated to the court that she had
made numerous applications and been
refused every time.
Walter II. Hayes and Josiah Marvel
represented John j. Mullin, of Second
and Market streets. Mr.. Prickett's OBJ
lection was that the place was not
needed. and he demonstrated to the
court by means OF a blue print that the
Il public was already amply provided
with saloons in that section OF the
city. Like objection was made to IL
eensing James McVey's place, at the
south EAST corner of Front and Market
streets Peter L. Cooper represented
him. Mr. Cooper also represented Mar
garet T. Shields. who applied for a IL
cense for the place at Pleasant and
Jackson streets. Mr.. Prckett again
contended that the place was not need
ed. He called no witpesses whatever,
but used his blue print to demonstrate
TO the judges the absurdity OF the
claim that the licensed places already
existing we're not sufficient in num-
Der 10 meet the public demands.
The Campbell matter will probably
be acted on tomorrow, as Mr.. Evans
was compelled to go to Dover on the
11.03 train to attend the Constitutional
Convention.
