TWELVE TURNED DOWN.

lection Of Certain Saloon License
Applications, at an Interesting
Meeting.
This opposition to a certain class OF
saloons got in u few llcks last night Il:
the meeting OF the council committee on
petitions and remonstranees. Twelve
places came under the ban. The com
mlttee passed favorably on the others
Of the 1913 applications for license. the
total list being given in q recent issue
Of the Intclllgencer.
The applications which the committee
recommended to council for rejection
were us follows:
J. B. wnkle. W. o. Walker. Gottlieb
Harding, John McNsmse. George Land
messer & Co.. Joseph Barum. Trosch
& Hadorn. John G. Kline, wllkie & Ty-
son, Valentine I.elbold, Burkle Broa
and j. ]. Reilly.
The members Of the committee pres
ent were: Chairman Bradbury. and
Messrs. Bloomfield. Baehman, NJ A.
Chew, Ritter and Williams. AT the las:
meeting OF council, sup-committee OF
four was appointed 70 Investigate the
saloons, consisting Of Messrs. r. I.
Chew, Megrail, Fair and Healy, on a
notion offered by the former. but the
first branch non-concurred. However
two of the Subcommittee. Messrs.
Chew and Hcaly appeared before the
committee on petitions and remon'
strances and took an active part
against the granting Of several Of the
license applications.
The first proceeding was passing on
the bunch to which there were no objec
lions. AS Clerk worls proceeded with
the reading, the Objectionable appllca-
lions were placed to one side. Attor-
ney s. o. Boyce, who appeared for ~.
E. Goldstrohm, withdrew his clients
application.
The first objections came from Mr.. r.
7. Chew. His side partner, Mr.. Frank
j. lieaiy said he knew of nothing lou.
of the way" with Joha G. Hline's placa.
But Mr.. Bradbury said he did,
and he voiced his objections. Mr.. Brad
bury spoke OF poker room above
Kllue's place, but Attorney Boyce, who
represented Kline and also Burkle
Bros, said the gambling establishment
was run by Robert Clark, and was. 4
separate institution from the saloon.
Then some general discussion ensuad.
Mr.. NJ. A. Chew was in favor Of having
council decide on the doubtful applica
lions and Mr. Bachman took similar
view. The former instanced tho ruling
Of President Maxwell, Of the second
branch. that the committee had to re
commend the rejection or the granting of
petitions to council. 1t was pointed
out that no charges had been preferred
in any case, but Chairman Bradbury
thought personal observation" was
sufficient.
II think we, should object to all of
them, and let council decide" suggest
ed Mr.. Bachman.
I'VE have objected to all on the bond
question" said Mr.. Chew.
Then Mr.. williams moved to reject
the dozen applications objected to. His
motion seemed as though about to die
for want OF second, but NJ. A. Chew
broke the silence and came to the res
cue. The Williams motion passed with
out dissent. Early in the meeting the
committee acted favorably on those no:
objected TO-.
Just after the vote on the Williams
motion, Mr.. Boyce stepped over to NJ.
A. chews chair and whispered to him,
Your threats don't count with me-
Sam" said Mr.. Chew, aloud.
I'm not making any threats" re
piled Mr.. Boyce. as he was returning to
his chair.
That ended the incident.
A communication from Judge G.. L,
Cranmer was read. with reference to
the suggestions offered by the writer
relative to the suficiency of the sure
ties for licenses at the last meeting OF
the committee. 1t was recommended
10 council for action.
The Judge contcnded that neither the
spirit nor the letter OF the law author
ized the acceptance OF suretias that
were insufficient TO cover the aggregate
amount Of penalties called for by thu
bonds. This was with reference to the
sure,lps Of brewery collectors, whose
assessed personally and realty were in
consequential with the amount they
