CANNOT HOLD TWO LICENSES
Court Says Dealer Cant Sell Liquor at
Wholesale and al Retail

In Superior Court yesterday after
noon Willard Salisbury, representing
the Equitable Guarantee and Trust
Company, moved for judgment against
john p Donahoe, against whom the
company lately won its suit for the re-
covery of money paid him under the
Adams tax law.
Argument was made by Walter J.
Willis for the defendant and William S.
Hilles fer the plaintiff in the certiorari
case of the st. Georges Marsh Com
pany VS.. Joshua Jefferson.
General Sessions Court refused the
application of Cornelius Mundy for a
wholesale license for the Merritt
House. at the corner of Front and King
streets. The objection TO the application
was that Mr.. Mundy is a retail dealer,
and could not hold two licenses at one
time.
Chief Justice Lore said that many Of
the wholesale licenses that have been
granted in this city may have been
given under a misapprehension, and
the court may take some action to have
them revoked.
Walter Hayes. representing George
]. Biedermann, proprietor of the Spring
Hill Brewery. applied for a retail Ii
cense for Biedermann. Mr.. Prickett, for
the Law and Order Society. objected
on the ground that the court should not
grant two licenses to one person. Mr..
Hayes then asked the court to define
the rights of manufacturer ofliquors
relative to their sale, and the court re-
piled that the manufacturer could sell
beer in quantities not less than a quart,
which, however, must be drunk on the
premises. This construction of the law
satisfied Mr.. Hayes, whereupon he
withdrew the application.
Horace Greeley Knowles appeared
for George H. Lewis, who desired a re-
tail license for the house No. 2O5 Mar
ket street. Mr.. Prickett presented the
usual remonstrances, which so infiu-
enced the court that Mr.. Knowles with
drew the application.
Joseph Z. Chappell, who applied for the
re-licenscing of the house No. 2OS West
Seventh street, was met by a remon-
STRANGE charging him with having i'm
properly conducted the house. He there
upon withdrew the application. This, with
the Hill case, disposed Of the liquor IL
cense cases. Not one Of the licenses op-
posed by Mr.. Prickett was granted The
court signed the LOG unopposed appl'ca-
tions
In Superior Court Edwin w. Cooch pre-
sented his return as commissioner in the
divorce case Of Bertha o Brien VS.. Walter
w. O'Brien and publication was ordered.
Chief Justice Lore announced that he
and Judge Boyce would hear argument on
June "A in the mandamus case Of the Oxy-
Hydrogen Company VS.. the Board of Di-
rectors of the Street and Sewer Depart
ment. Judge Spruance was at one time
counsel against the gas company. The ef-
fort of the company is to compel the city
to allow it to open the streets for the pur-
pose of laying gas pipes.
