FORTY.TWO BONDS ARE BAD
Licenses Refused to Applicants Who
Neglect to Fully Comply with
Laws Requirements.

The Board OF Fire and Police Commits
sioners yesterday refused to grant saloon
licenses to forty-two applicants on the
grounds that the bonds they furnished
were illegal in that they contained the sig
nature Of but one witness, instead OF two,
to the signatures OF the bondsemn.
The point Is a new one In the past fire
and police boards have accepted bonds
upon which the name OF but one witness is
attached. Mayor Moores, however, gave 1t
as his opinion that two signatures are
necessary in law. AS consequence the
board decided to delay action on applicants
whose bonds contained but one witnesses
signature.
Those whose bonds showed the names OF
two signatures and who have complied
with other legal requirements were as fol-
lows and were granted licenses: Fred Krug
Brewing company, 1901 to 1907 jackson
Gustave Stepp, 1912 North Twenty fourth; ;
Gustave Stepp. Thirtieth and Spaulding;
Ernest G. Meyer, Ill South Fourteenth; J..
NJ. L. Schmidt, 1302-1304 Dodge; Charles
Herbertz, 1401 Douglas; Louis r. Metz 2S02
Farnam; Emil Gall, 902 Douglas; Henry
Krug, 6O2 South Thirteenth; Adler & Heller.
1906 Farnam; Fred Hunziker. 1902 Howard
Theo Baumer. 223 North Tenth; Herman
O'Hearn, 1902 South Tenth; Gottlieb storz
Bros, 1857 to 1929 Sherman avenue; Anton
Krecek, 1902 South Sixth; Max Flotow,
1416 Farnam; Arthur Metz. POOL North
Twentieth.
John Boesn Of Seventeenth and Dorcas
street hled protests against the granting
Of licenses to fourteen places, for which
Max Flotow. George W. Tierney, Charles
F. Weymuller, Gottlieb Storz and John Buck
have filed applications He based the pro-
tests on legal contention that an applicant
for a saloon license must run the place
himself and cannot employ some one to
manage It for him. In his complaint he
sets out that last year all the parties men
toned obtained licenses for places to which
they appointed managers and therefore he
asserts that they violated the law as he
construes It and consequently should not be
granted licenses.
All the men against whom the protests
were made are said to be agents OF the
Omaha Brewing association. 1t Is also re-
ported that Boesen Is a man who ran a sa-
loon for the association last year and was
deposed He Is therefore charged with max
ing the protests simply to get even. The
places affected by this protest are as fol-
lows:
Max Flotow 1902 South Thirteenth 1864
South Sixteenth. 101 South Ninth.
George w. Tierney. 424 South Thirteenth,
2425 North Twenty-fourth, 1901 Leaven-
worth. 102 South Tenth, 101 South Thir-
teenth. 2S18 Farnam.
Charles r. Weymuller. 1889 South Thir-
teenth. 1924 South Twentieth.
John Buck, 207 South Fifteenth. 2s0l North
Sixteenth.
Gottlieb Storz. ll01 South Ninth, 1857 Sher-
man avenue.
The board apparently does not seriously
regard the protest, for 1t overruled 1t in the
case Of Storz, at 1857 Sherman avenue, and
granted him a license.
Protests have also been filed against the
granting Of license to the Schlitz Brew
ing company at Twenty ninth and Cunning
street and to the same brewery All 1902 North
Sixteenth street. In both cases objection
is made on the grounds that the proposed
saloon Is to be located in the heart OF res
idence district and In the former case 1t
Is also pointed out that the saloon will be
within two blocks OF a school building
