THE EDMINsTER CASE The Hartford Times
gives some facts concerning this case in ad-
dition to what was published last week. Parties
interested in the hotel with Edminster tried to
get certificate from Judge Wheeler certifying
that in his judgment the license should not be
revoked. They promised the court that if he
would issue the certificate that the bar of the
liquor sold there until the license could be
transferred to reputable man, as Edminster
is going to sell out and get out of the house as
soon as he can Judge Wheeler said that the
license had only seven weeks more to run any,
way, and he was sure the commissioners would
grant license to reputable man the first of
May if the house is taken hold of by proper
person and the reputation of the house is good
from now till then. The Hartford Times adds:
A peculiar phase of the situation is that the
| hotel is within 200 feet of the Park Congrega-
tonal church and under the statutes the com
missioners are not allowed to issue a license
within those limits, except to reputable
hotel of established reputation 1t seems to be
a question of how long time it will take to
get the Hotel Hartford within the definition of
"a reputable hotel of established reputation
