There was a great row at the meet
Ing Of the police commissioners yester-
day morning over the transfer Of the
license of Henry Koch from No. 3201 to
No. 3207 South Main street. The mat
ter has been before the commissioners
several times before, and when 1t was
reached yesterday morning the fun
promptly began. Mr.. E. e. Crandall,
an interested property owner, was on
hand to protest, and he did so in great
shape. Mr.. Koch stood his ground. and
at one time 1t looked as though there
might be trouble, but when the debate
reached the danger line Mayor Snyder
raped vigorously and the tumult
ceased. Koch said that Crandaf took
his drink at his saloon, and Mr. Gran
dali emphat tically denied the soft i'm
peachment Then there was another
hot interchange of words and the mayor
almost wore out his patience trying to
preserve order. The upshot of the whole
matter was that the transfer was re-
voked. Then a vote was taken on re-
voking the license and this failed
