BITTER CONTESTS ARE PREDICTED

An enormous batch of remonstrances to
applications for saloon licenses was filed in
the Clerk of the Courts office at Pottsville
yesterday. They aggregated 1856 and cover
many towns in the county. OF these 1O4 are
filed against Shenandoah applications, of
which $. G. NJ. Hollopeter Esq, lied 80.
Charles A. Snyder the Pottsville lawyer,
filed 30 of them.
A HERALD reporter had an interview with
Mr.. Hollopeter this morning and the lawyer
spoke quite freely in relation to remons-
frances. People who think the filing of the
remonstrances are mere bluffs, SAID he, are
badly mistaken. The fact is, the contests in
the license court this year will be the most
determined ever made in this county An
important note in connection with the re-
monstrances this year is an order by the
court that none shall be withdrawn out of
court A lawyer who files remonstrance
must let it stand until the court passes on it.
Is it not fact that most of the remon-
strances you have filed are based upon
technicalities, such as an improper filing, or
omissions in the applications, or some techni-
cality in connection with the bonds?" the
reporter asked Mr.. Hollopeter.
No. There is where you are mistaken E"
Mr., Hollopeter then produced some papers
which showed that evidence had been ac-
cumulated to substantiate the remonstrances
On allegations of violations of the law. The
charges are selling on Sunday selling to
minors, selling beer by the can and pitcher
to children, etc.
The evidence in hand gives the character
of the violations, with the dates the names
of the people who procured the drink, and
the names of witnesses.
II understand" said the reporter that
most of the remOnstrances have been
prompted by spirit of retaliation for politi-
cal reasons 2'
Again you are wrong" said Mr.. HollO-
peter. There is not case | have in hand
in which politics enter All my remou.
strances are well founded and unless the
parties employing me change their minds as
to the prosecutions. or fail to make their cases
good in court, there will be loss of at least
sixty licenses in this town alone
The HERALD reporter has learned, how
ever, that many of the remonstrances filed
by other attorneys arise from political sore
ness. He was informed by excellent au.
thOrity that ex-senator j. j. Coyle has caused
several remonstrances to be filed in retala
ton to the remonstrances that were filed
against Hon. Joseph Wyatt and tenants o
two of Coyle's properties in Mahanoy City
The informant states that James A. Rinck
the lawyer who was formerly located a
Tamaqua and for the past two years has beer
located in Philadelphia, is acting upon til,
instance of ex-senator Coyle. Mr. Rinok i
