Joseph F. Schafer applied for whole
had such privilege at Palmyra and was
refused continuance because of violation
of the law. Judge Horner said he had
received many letters from residents of
Palmyra in favor and against the granting
of this license, the majority being favor
able. He wanted to call the attention of
Schafer. as we'll as all of those who have
wholesale licenses, that the law must
be strictly observed. The selling of liquor
by wholesale means that the sale must &C.
cur in some established place of business.
He recited a case where a man was
brought before the court at Vineland for
violation of the liquor law. The man
held wholesale license and it was shown
at the trial that the dealer had taken orders
by mail from neighboring towns. The
trial resulted in conviction on the grounds
that the dealer had no right to sell or de-
liver goods to towns other than where his
place of business was situated, thus
practically shutting out the wagon trade
The case was carried to the Supreme
Court and the finding was confirmed.
The application of Schafer was
granted. but the Judge warned the man
to obey the law to the very letter and
told him that if he violated the statute
and came before this court he would not
get off with fine.
Elizabeth Martin applied for license
to open the hotel, corner of Washington
street and Madison avenue. Miss Martin
Is the sister of James Martin, who was
refused license at the last term of court.
Former Prosecutor Budd spoke in behalf
of Miss Martin and said that she intended
to give the place her personal attention.
He related the fact that there was testi.
mony at the hearing on the remonstrance
on the point that the hotel bore good
reputation, In fact there was so much
testimony on that point it was not offered
as it was merely repetition. Since the
another hotel in the vicinity had lost itl
license and the public house nearest the
railroad station is several blocks distant
Mr.. Budd thought there was grea
necessity for hotel near the station anC
he hoped the petition would be favorably
considered
Judge Horner said there were TIVE
reasons why the license should not b.
granted He was not in favor of grantin,
such privileges to women. He had, II
cases where a woman had been left
widow with hotel property in her posses
sion, departed from that position. Fl
did not like the subterfuge apparent Ii
this case-that of seeking to gain through
a woman what would not be granted t.
the real applicant, who the court recOg
nized as James Martin. There was n
necessity for reviewing the testimony o.
which the license was refused, but it wa
sufficiently strong to act upon as the cour
had done. The new application was re
/ fused.
