BEEN NOTIFIED.
Asserts Henry Nelson's New
House in Water Street is
Struck by Wires in Wind.

An interesting fight between a
corporation and an individual came
to light today when Lawyer Peter A.
Peterson, counsel for Henry Nelson,
announced that he would advise his
client to cut some wires of the N. Y.
& N. j. Telephone Company unless
they were removed within few
days.
According to Mr.. Peterson. the
phone company some time ago put
two poles on Mr.. Nelson's property
in Water street, where the owner is
erecting a new residence, and that
the poles were placed and wires
strung without Mr.. Nelson's permis-
sion. The latter was annoyed by
the wind blowing the wires against
his house and he retained Mr.. Peter
son to notify the company to remove
them. This has not been done, de-
clares Mr.. Peterson, who says that,
unless the phone people comply with
in few days, he will advise Mr..
Nelson to cut the wires.

bation to the excise board last night
for a transfer of the Medak license to
himself President Mulchahey said
that, as the place had been closed for
nearly six weeks, under the rules the
license was dead. He ruled that the
commissioners had no right to enter
tain, the application as, on account of
the license being dead. it was not pro-
perly before the board
Mr.. Mulchahey said that the board
had right to appeal from his ruling
If they desired, but the commissioners
. replied that as the rules set forth
that, where place was closed thirty
days, the license became dead, they
did not see how any other course, other
than what the president had stated,
could be adopted. Mr.. Glochau was in
the audience and said that he did not
think the place had been closed that
long.
While speaking about the application
President Mulchahey said that there
were some things in connection with
it that the board should know, so that
1t could be seen just how the breweries
did business. Clerk LaRoe handed
Mr.. Mulchahey the following docu-

on January l, 1907, the Breidt brewery
leased Mr.. Glochau's building at 10

privilege of renewal of two more
years. The rent was to be $50 a
month for 1907; $55 per month for
1908; and $50 month for this and
next year. The brewery advanced the
$3.50 license money to Witalis Medak
in February last, and Edward J. Dal-
ton, agent for the brewery, took power
'of attorney on the, license While the
brewery did not sign a renewal Of the
lease for the building in January, they
continued to pay Mr.. Glochau the
monthly rents. In June the brewery
foreclosed chattel mortgage on Me-

Mr.. Dalton, who held the power of

man, at 35 Hall avenue. The board
ON July / refused to grant the trans
fer on account of Mr.. Dalton holding
the power of attorney. Mr.. Glochau
saw Mr.. Mulchahey and told him about
the lease and the president told him
that he had the brewery and to hold
them for the lease.
The brewery people got after Mr..
Glochau and on July s last induced
him to sign his rights away, it is as
serted as the foregoing agreement
which is now on file with the clerk of
the board, proves. All that the agree
ment gave Mr.. Glochau was their con-
sent to the transfer of the license, pro-
|viding the excise board were willing to
grant it, which as Mr.. Mulchahey term
ed it was gold brick. Mr.. Null
chahey said that Mr.. Glochau told him
that the brewery people came to him
and were so nice that he had signed
the agreement. AS the matter stands
now, the brewery is released from any
agreement to pay Mr.. Glochau rent
for his building and the license in the
place is dead. If saloon is conducted
in the building again it will have to
be under a new license.
