DROP LICENSE PLEA
FOR MORGAN PARK
Proprietors Withdraw Petition
for Renewal of Permit to
Sell Liquor

OAKLAND, May 15.-The board of
supervisors voted to allow Morgan &
Meyers to withdraw their petition for
renewal of their liquor license at
Morgan's park in Fruitvale, after a
running fight extending over several
weeks had been waged against the place
by residents of the vicinity. Attorney
Abe Leach, who represented the pro-
testants, objected strongly to permit
ting the withdrawal. but on the ad-
vice of District Attorney Brown who
said that even though denied the ap-
plication could be filed again, the board
gave in to the proprietors and the ap-
plfcation was withdrawn. An attorney
who represented the road house said
that he knew that a majority of the
board were against the application,
even though there had been some tes-
timony to show that the conduct of
the resort had been immaculate. and
under such conditions he recognized
the uselessness of further proceedings
at this time.
Mrs Katherine Barrett. who said
that she owned property adjoining the
park on the north, was the star wit
ness of the day for the applicants.
She said she never heard anything
against the place, but became rigid
with Indignation when asked If she had
ever been inside the inclosure. She
also said she would never put up at
the alleged hotel there If she knew the
character of the place before. She
gave as her motive for appearing in
favor of the application rumor that
there was a very fine picnic ground
run in conjunction with the other fea-
lures and she feared this would in the
future be closed to the public.
d. p. Post member of@ realty firm,
admitted that an emp1oye had been
discharged by his partner for taking
an active part against the saloon.
Supervisors Kelley, Bridge and Hor-
ner voted in favor of allowing the ap-
plisation to be Withdrawn, while Mitch
ell and Rowe were in favor of deny
ing it.

one DEATH FARM
VICTIM INFERRED
Man Who Answered Woman's
Lure Is Given Christian
Burial at Last

LA PORTE, Ind, May 15.-The first
of the Guinness victims to be Inferred
with Christian rites was buried tonight
In Pattons cemetery on the outskirts
Of La Porte. The corpse was that of
Andrew K. He1gelien of Mansfield,
N. D., the last man TO meet his death
in the trap to which Mrs. Guinness
lured her victims.
The body was released for burial
this evening after Coroner Mack had
received the reports of the Bertilion
experts who had examined it and COM
pared their findings with figures taken
from the records of the Minnesota pen
itentiary at saltwater.
The burial rites of the Swedish
Lutheran church were read at the
morgue by a minister and two men
followed the coffin to the grave by the
light of a lantern.
There is no question but that the
piece of jawbone found on the Guinness
farm yesterday is from human being.
Furthermore, it bears a strong resent
blance to the lower jaw of Mrs Gun
ness.
This positive statement of identifica-
ton was made by DR.. l. P. Norton the
dentist, who performed a large amount
of work on the teeth of the owner of
the death farm, after he had examined
the jawbone There is almost no
chance that the bone came from the
jaw of an animal" he said.
There only remains to be discovered
some of the gold which l placed upon
the cuspid to make the identification
of this piece of bone perfect and COM
plete. So far 1 myself am concerned.
am certain as to the origin of the
bone now"
Sheriff Smulzer also brought in to DR.
Norton number of new bits of metal
found in the debris this morning. They
proved, however, to be brass.
