ALEXANDRIA. Va. January Is. 1904.
At the opening of the session of the cor
poration court this morning Judge Louis C.
Barley called before him H. v. Kelly. George
Bars and Deane Cook, saloonkeepers. and
administered to them a severe reprimand
in accordance with the recent report of the
grand jury. The judge read the three men
the finding of the jury, in which it was
stated that some of the barroom keepers
having licenses in this city have combined
in protecting criminals, harboring law
breakers and defeating the ends of justice:
also charging them with permitting their
premises to be resort for dissolute and
idle persons of both sexes. resulting in un-
seemly conduct, drunken quarrels. serious
injury and even murder from the of
firearms. 1t was stated that the way some
OF the barro0mS are conducted bring sorrow
and shame to the community and unneces-
sary expense to the commonwealth. The
report concluded with recommending that
the three men above mentioned be severely
reprimanded and warned.
In addressing the three saIoonkeepers
Judge Barley spoke in the most positive
language, telling them that there must be
an immediate improvement of the condi-
tons in their respective premises He said
that any more quarrels, brawls and attend
ing disorder in the saloons in question would
not be tolerated. and that a failure of the
ing to the words of the reprimand would
result at once in the loss of their license.
In the report of the jury it was suggested
that the license of William Wade. who
conducts barroom at the corner of Wolfe
and Columbus streets. be revoked. Wade
has been cited to appear before the court
Monday, the 18th instant, when the matter
viii be passed upon.
