In the Court of General Sessions
yesterday afternoon over 100 persons
we're in attendance on account of the
hearing in the application of Arthur
G. Heinel for liquor license for the
property at No. 1900 Scott street.
Caleb E. Burchenal representing the

stated that the place is within two
squares OF the public and parochial
schools and three churches. There are
several saloons in the neighborhood.

The Rev. c. L. Candee. pastor of

cation on the grounds that the place
would be a detriment, as did the
Rev. S. NJ Morgan, pastor Of Mt.
Salem NJ r. Church. Arthur L.
Bailey, librarian, testified that he
lived in the near vicinity and he op-
posed the licensing Of the place, as
it was not necessary.
Several youths testified they had
played pool in Heinels place OF busi-
ness and bought cigarettes.

to find the Legislatures journal. con-
tanning the entry Of the votes on the

No coward heart was In the breast
That John. beloved disciple. pressed
Though tender as the healing touch
a mother gives her restless babe,
To every soul that needed such
A loving hand upon IL laid,
Ply once again thy cords Of scorn,
Wearer OF the crown OF thorn!
o Master Of the common veal,
The shop, the field, the market place.
Thou knowest all the pangs we feel
Thou knowest all our need OF grace:
And where the worlds injustice goads
The weary on the climbing roads.
Stood once again with tender voice,
Changing discord fills the air,
To whisper hope and bid rejoice
All who the worlds oppression bear
