LICENSE CASE
HEARD TO-DAY

In the Court Of General Sessions this
morning the remonstrances against Frank
f. Thomas. who is applying for a renewal
of his license at No. West Third street,
was taken up. The State was represented
by Caleb h. Burchenal and the applicant
by William Il. Kurtz. The application for
a license was opposed on tho ground that
Thomas had sold intoxicants TO minors
In support Of the charge Frederick w
Bach testified that on February IS he fol-
lowed his brother. A. j. Bach. Jr.. Clar-
cnce Brown and John Whitesde to the
saloon and saw them drink a glass Of beer
each. The persons mentioned wcro said 10
be under age. Witness said he drank soda
water. Clarence Brown said he was in his
sixteenth year. John Whiteside gave his
age as 10 and corroborated the previous
witnesses as to getting beer in the saloon.
For the defense a petition was presented
regarding the necessity Of the saloon and
the orderly manner in which the place
is conducted.
The court ruled that II was not neces-
sary TO prove the conduct of the saloon
as the specific charge against the pro-
prietor at this time was selling intoxioants
TO minors.
Mr.. Thomas, as we'll as his bartenders,
then denied that they had sold liquors to
the boys. This ended the case, but before
the judges took the matter under advise
ment they were advised by Mr.. Burchenal
that Mr. Thomas had no knowledge OF
the age OF the youths.
The court later granted the application
OF Frank Z. Thomas and signed 100 other
licenses.
Two applications were not signed, the
applicants having died since filing their
petitions. They we're John MCGOWAN and
Oscar schyer. The only application re-
naming contested is that OF August
Scheu.
