| half of Mrs Glueck, who keeps a road
house on the upper Stockton road, near
the County Hospital. Mrs. Glueck had
! been permitted to maintain her place
without license, but month ago the
| board decided to revoke the privilege
and restore the license, as Supervisor
Jenkins had reported that complaints
had been made that the place was dis
orderly.
/ Mr.. Joseph said Mrs. Glueck was pres
ent to meet and refute any complaints
that anyone had to offer
Chairman Jenkins took the floor and
recited the circumstances under which
Mrs. Glueck had been permitted to keep
her place open without a license. He
| then said he had heard COM
plants, and he had heard things that
he did not think it proper to speak of in
open board and in the presence of the
public, out of Difference to the feelings
of Mrs. Glueck.
| Mr.. Joseph wanted him to say what
these matters We're, but Mr.. Jenkins
preferred not to do so.
| Mr.. Joseph still insisted that these
things should be explained, that Mrs.
Glueck might meet them.
Supervisor Morrison moved that the
| room be cleared and the matter fully
ventilated, and it was so ordered.
After the doors were opened Mr..
Joseph Informed the reporters that
Mr.. jenkins had said nothing that he
should have hesitated to disclose. He
said he was present at Mrs. Glueck' 8
place one cay when man employed by
| her was arrested for assault and that
Mrs. Glueck had become frightened and
| taken her children to a neighbours for
the night. That on another occasion
| Mr.. jenkins had seen drunken wOm-
an lying in front of the place, and that
Mrs. Glueck explained that the woman
| did not set the liquor at her place.
| When Chairman Jenkins learned that
Mr.. Joseph had spoken of what trans
pired in executive session, he said to
| a Record Union reporter:
Il dislike to have to say anything
that might reflect on the character of
| the place conducted by Mrs. Glueck,
but now l may as we'll tell you about
what l said while the doors were
closed. l have been the friend of Mr..
Glueck and his family, and it was on
my motion that Mrs. Glueck was al
|
her husbands death without paying a
license.
"One day, as I was going home, I
stopped there to speak to Constable
Rich He told me he had to arrest a
man named Schneider, who was en-
ployed or allowed to stay there, for
threatening the lives of Mrs. Glueck
| and her children. The mother and
little ones were out in front crying with
fear. 1 told Rich to go in and arrest
the man, and if he needed any help
to call on me. He arrested Schneider
and took him away. Mrs. Glueck told
me she was afraid the fellow would
come back that night and kill them, SO
she went ever to Mr.. Gerber's and spent
the night.
That man is still at the place, and
Mrs. Glueck had to admit to-day that
he has insulted and quarreled with
| men who called there. In fact, there
have been frequent disturbances since
he took up his home there Then there
| was the drunken woman / saw in front
of the saloon on another occasion when
1 passed there. These things go to
show that the place is no credit to Mrs.
| Glueck, and for the sake of her chill
dren, who are old enough to go to
school and read the papers, I did not
| desire to speak of them, and would
not if Mrs. Glueck's attorney had not
insisted on it.
Il have, as I said before, been a
friend of the family, and preferred not
to have to say anything that would
hurt their feelings. I did not think.
however, that we could afford to grant
! Mrs. Glueck any further exemption
from paying license since she allowed
her place to become a disorderly one :"
The result of the matter was that the
board declined to rescind it's order re-
| Stunning the license.
