BEATING THE LIQUOR Law.
BayOnne. y. d., Wondering II 1t Really Can
Re Done In That Community.

When the Chief Of Police has declared a
man unfit to be a saloonkeeper and his
place public danger; when the licensing
authority has taken away his license and
another authority has put him under bail
on the charge Of keeping disorderly house,
can he still manage to run saloon in the
same jurisdiction?
This great question is agitating Bayonne,
n. j., which has recently discovered some
startling things about the effect of some
saloon practices on the city death rate.
Curiously enough, half the population is
inclined to answer the question in the
affirmative, with two qualifications. One
is, "if the man is in politics, and the other
is, "till next election

Bartholomew McSweeney. who is in poll

of Rayonne known as Avenue F.. young
man who displayed SIS there was knocked
out and killed recently. and was only carried
home. with the $l5 missing, after Nc
Sweeney had kept him dying in the place,
all the following Sunday, in the hope that
he'd sleep it of.
Testimony that the saloon was open all
that day, with n McSweeney at the bar
was produced before the Recorder, and the
saloon keeper was held for the Grand Jury
on he charge of keeping disorderly house.
Then, on the demand OF the Chief OF Police,
"for the fair name of our city the Com
mon Council revoked the license and
McSweeney's landlord, Mayor-elect Brady,
gave him notice TO quit

The boulevard is the principal thorough

there is chance OF the deal going through,

nobody has been able to get word as to
their plans.
BY resolution of the Council, the number
of liquor licenses issued in Rayonne is

There are already sixteen applicants for the
vacant license. One of the applications,
filed a, the last meeting of the Council,
was for n license for a saloon on the boule-
ward near Twelfth street, The application
was referred to the licensing committee
and will he decided on Tuesday.
