KirkwOod People Urge
License for Hotel There

Many residents t Kirkwood were in
the County Court House today, inter-
ested in the contested liquor license
application of William Ball, who ten
ants the Kirkwood Hotel.
The remonstrances filed alleged ti
house was a new place, not necessary,
would be detrimental to morals and
that unruly colored men would gather
in Kirkwood because of the license.
William Z. Smith was the former
owner of the hotel, and after a full
hearing last spring he withdrew the
application.
In court this morning Mrs. Emily
Jones testified that twenty-nine per-
sons had signed a remonstrance she
had taken around, and nine of them
were property owners. She told of
the condition of order in Kirkwood
since the closing of the hotel.
Thomas Massey. a storekeeper in
Kirkwood, testified that conditions In
the town were rough when the hotel
was open. He considered that the
granting of a license to the hotel
would be a danger to the people Of
that town.

lector, Mr. MahOney said he found

Richard T. Cam said he has lived
at Kirkwood all his life and believes
a licensed hotel at the place is neces-

the town we're due to women and not
to whiskey.

all in their power to prevent it. The
masses Of the people. however, are
bitterly anti-foreign and reports from

they are rapidly getting out of hand.
The rebels at Nankin outnumber the
imperialists but the city's defenders
are better disciplined and strongly
entrenched Every indication points
to a desperate engagement.
Confirmation is lacking OF the re-
port that Admiral Sab has been cap
tured by the rebels. but since his

story Of his capture seems likely. The
