IL only one other hotel in the ward,
the Conway house. Mr. OMalley
showed. There were any number of
hotels in the block where the YOUNG
Mems Christian association formerly
had its headquarters, MIR. O'Malley
said, but the Young Mems Christian
association was not injured. The great
number Of eating and boarding houses
in the block in question was an argu-
ment in favor of the new hotel, Mr..
O'Malley held. Some men like to have
a glass Of beer with their dinner and
they are entitled to have il just as
much as Mr.. Davidson Is entitled to
the privilege of having a Scranton club
just around the corner where he can
get bottle of wine with his dinner.

Three applications We're received
from the Fifteenth ward. Court called
attention to the fact that these three
houses were licensed last year. but not

scher," Judge Archibald called out.
That's a new house, your honor"
said AttornkE John r. Murphy, ap-
preaching the bench. with the inten-
tion of making his argument
"All right. we'll grant it," broke in
Judge Archibald. Mr.. Murphy was
nom -plussed.
I'VE feared you might change your
mind and persist in the application"
the judge added.
Another Nineteenth ward petitioner,
Frank Nowackl, represented by Hon.
John p. Quinnan. was likewise in
formed that his application was favor
ably considered. These were the only
two applications from that ward. Two
from the Twentieth were likewise
favorably commented upon.

monstrance. Court took the paper
