COUNCIL FOLLOWS COURT
Revokes Licenses of Indicted
Restaurants.

Commotion Among Preprietsrs To-day
Gutcasts Looking for Eating Places
An Effort to Get coaneil to Recon.
slider Heavy Penalties.
The restaurant licenses OF W. Ii.
Conley, proprietor of the Opera
House Cafe, Gallaher & Holmes,
Pleasant Corner Restaurant. fersis
Kaszer, Cafe Kaszcr, aud the Deli
catesscn Cafe and Catering Company,
were revoked by the City Council
last night All of these places were
indicted by the grand jury from foer
to six times for illegal retailing, and
the CouHcifs summary action Is only
following up the work OF the Circuit
Court.
The order TO revoke the licenses
was passed with little debate. The
whole proceedings were carried
through as merely a matter OF Iou
tine business. There we're no dis
senting votes.
Notice OF the withdrawal of the
licenses was served on the restaurant
proprieters this morning, aud since
that time the Mayors office has been
beseiged by the victims. who are, for
the time being, completely at loss
to know where to turn, or what to
do. Mayor McGrew was asked
to explain the meaning of
the Cou1cii's action and to advise
the proprietors what to do. He
could give plenty of information on
the former, but on the latter had
little to offer chat wss encouraging.
The restaurant men are trying TO
have the City Council called for a
special meeting this evening to re-
consider their action or to issue new
licenses. Whether or not they will
succeed remains to be seen. As it
now is they are completely out OF
business.
Tee ordinance fixes penalty Of
not less than S. nor more than $50
fine for conducting a restaurant
without license. The sale of sin
gle sandwich or cup of coffee con-
stitues an offense. The four restau
rants that are closed fed a large
number OF people daily, and with
the Wallace House closed, there are
lots of ''eutcasts" looking for places
to feed to-day.

MORE WARNING.
Fairmont West Yirginian Says That
Marion VIII net Stand For any Fool
ishness From This County.

Marion VIII net Stand For any Fool
ishness From This County.
Notwithstanding the statement
recently made by the Hon. George @,
Sturgiss, Of Morgantown, to the effect
that Frank Cox, of that place, candi.
date for Judge Of the Supreme Court
OF Appeals, would have no opposition,
it is now known fact that he will
have strong oppositien--perhaps right
in his own county, says the Fairmont
West Virginian.
The facts have recently come to
light that Mr.. Cox is opposed to the
candidacy Of "Jee" McDermott and
in favor of e. M. Grant, the ''ring''
candidate. While Mr.. Cox has not
been talking any himself, his law part
ner, Mr.. Baker, has been talking un-
commonly loud in behalf of Mr.. Grant,
and the good thinking people of Mo-
nengalia, as well as those of few 9th
er counties, are not going to remain
quiet and allow few ''ringstt RS" to
do all the talking, and especially to
dictate who shall be State Senator
from the Eleventh Senatorial district.
We would suggest that Monongaliaus
get together, and remain harmonious
for this year, at least, as they cannot
afford to have political strife among
themselves, AT any rate they must
remember that the wishes of Marion
and Taylor counties must be respect
ed TO some extent.

RULES OF NATURALIZATION
Judge Mason Establishes Pre-
cedent in Costs Case.
Tanks Congress Meant TO Prevent
Foreigners Becoming Citizens RigiG
Examination and Clear Evidence will
Be Required.

During the present term of court
Judge Mason has naturalized two or
three men who are foreign born and
who desire TO become patriotic Amer
lean citizens. Under the present
law, it is not an easy matter to secure
naturalization papers. Judge Ma
son says he does not know what Con
gress meant by enaeting such law
unless the purpose was to prevent
all foreigners from becoming citizens.
Last week Joseph Cosl, a German
by birth, applied Tor examination for
admission to citizenship. lie is an
intelligent young man, skilled me
chanic, has been in this country y
years, and is thoroughly attached to
American institutions He was a
,aere boy when he came here. Judge
Mason set special time for his
examination and invited all the
attorneys to be present. lie desired
to establish a rule for naturalization
and thought CosI's was good in
stance IN which TO exempllty it.
Ia response to the questions adj
dressed to him, Cosl said he had
been in the country twelve years,
having left Germany when a mere
boy. He had never belonged to any
society of anarchists or others which
taught the assassination of govern
ment officials, did not believe in
such doctrines and condemned the
assassination of President McKin-
ley. He had never been engaged in
bringing paupers TO this country in.
defiance OF the labor laws, nor
women for purposes of prostitution.
He had never been convicted of any
crime in the Fatherland. He was
attached to American institutions.
and, If necessary, would take up
arms against Germany in defense of
America
Mr.. Cosl produced one witness,
already a citizen, who had known
him in Germany, and had been in
touch with him ever since he came
to this country Two witnesses
were introduced who had known HIM
during his four and one-half years
residence in Morgantown. They
knew him to be honest. industrious,
and of good moral habits.
Judge Mason admitted him to
citizenship, and indicated that he
would require about the same satls-
factory evidence on the part of all
future applicants.
