[AN HND ORDER
SOCIETY GETS VICTORY
IN License court
Seven SalOonkeepers Turned
Turned Down and Only One
Application Granted.
NO LICENSE FOR COHEE & HILL
Henry Feldmeier Was the Only One
Who Got License---It is for the
FELTON, House--The Kirkwood
House Was Among the
Ones Refused,

Effective indeed>w as the strong fight
put up by the Law and Order Society
against eight license applications, as was
seen yesterday morning when the Court
OF General Sessions announced its decis-
ion. But one of the eight applications
was granted. That was Henry Feldmeier
Second and Walnut streets, which was
an old stand.
Those refused were: New places, Cohee
q Hill, Tenth and Market streets; Mich
ael Grady, No. 205 Market street; Will
liam A. Hogan, Delaware City; Daniel
McCusker, No PIC West Second street,
(wholesale). Old places, Michael Lynch,
No. l24 King street; Thomas j. Leech,
Third and Shipley streets; John McCar-
thy, No. 106 Market street.
Walter H. Hayes had represented Mr..
Feldmeier, who was successful in getting
a license for the FELTON, House. He was
opposed because John Sweeney who had
leased the place, was arrested for selling
on Sunday. A strong plea had been
made by Mr.. Hayes. The place has been
long established and has hotel accommo-
dations which likely had weight with
the court.
One OF the hardest fights had been
made against Cohee & Hill who desired
license for sideboard to accommodate
persons who are accustomed to take
liquor with their meals. They are con-
Quoting restaurant in the basement of
the Ford building, which they fitted out
at a cost of So, 900
The Young Mems Christian Associa-
tion strongly opposed the application. A
remonstrance had been filed alleging that
it was new place and not needed and
| was in close proximity to the First
Presbyterian Church and the Y. NJ. G..
A. 1t was signed by 100 people. Those
tenants of the building: V. B. Woolley,
I. B. Heisel, L. l. Handy, Spottswood
Garland, II. L Rice and G. L. Town
send favored the license. Letters from
]. Frank Biggs, ]. M. Jestor, Levi @.
Bird, j. p Winchester, Mayor John G.
Fahey, DIR. j. H. Morgan and 5. J. Will
ley favoring the application had been
read in court The action OF the court
was great surprise to the friends Of
Cohee and Hill.
A hard fight was also made against the
Kirkwood House, at Third and Shipley
streets, conducted by Thomas T., Leecsl,
Leech had been convicted in the City
Court January 10 OF keeping disol der.
ly house. 1t was alleged that he sold tc
minors. The courts action in this case
was not so much of surprise.
Michael Grady's application, which
was for the Washington House, had been
turned down before and the court die
not reopen the cese. The opposition
against William A. Hogan, Delaware
City, was on the ground. that another
place was not needed. This, too, wa
the same reason for the opposition
against Daniel McCusker, who wanted {
wholesale license for No. 2l6 Yves
Second street.
The reason for turning down Michae
Lynch, No. l24 King street, was that HI
had pleaded guilty to violating the law
his wife having sold liquor to minor
John McCarthy's application for, No
l06 Market street was refused, because
although he claimed to be the tenant O
the place, he had allowed O'Connell, th
former tenant, who had been convicte'
Of selling unlawiully to run the place.
