APPLICANT MUST WAIT
FOR LICENSE RENEWAL
Excise Board Decides Against
immediate Consideration
of SaIoonkeeper's Claim.

\. Z. Shoemaker. attorney for the Anti
Saloon League, today prevented action
being taken by the excise board on the
application Of J. NJ. Biddle for the re-
newal of a liquor license by raising the
objection that the application was out Of
order.
Mr.. Biddle is proprietor of the tempo
rary saloon at 18th and G streets north
west, erected on the site of the old Riggs
House. His application for q renewal
was the first to be considered during the
present license year by the excise board.
Attorneys Contention.
Attorney Shoemaker claimed that a
preference would be shown in the consid
for the reason that the board has fol-
the order Of application. Mr. Biddie's APP
plication being numbered 245.
The board accepted this view and de-
cided to continue the hearing. The case
may not come up again for six months,
but members OF the board expressed the
opinion that 1t would not be necessary
for Mr.. Biddle to continue the sale of
liquor in order to retain u renewal OF his
license, inasmuch' as the saloon was IN
actual operation at the beginning OF the
license year.
Mr.. Biddle purchased his old license
from Adolph Loehl. former proprietor OF
the Riggs House bar, and expects to con-
duct a saloon in the new building being
erected on the site. In order to obtain
a license renewal. however. 1t was neces-
sary for him to rut up temporary struc-
ture and be actually engaged in the sale
of liquor at the beginning Of the license
year.
Grounds for Action.
Attorney Shoemaker at the time en-
deavored to prevent this course being
taken, claiming that the temporary build
ing extended over the building line and
occupied public space. The Commits
sioners took the matter under considers
ton and, 1t is stated. decided not to order
Mr., Biddle to remove the building. as
similar occupancy of public space made
necessary by building Improvements has
been permitted in. the past.

Henry Watterson's Address.
In presenting the statue Mr.. Waiter
son said in part:
He was himself a southern man. All
his people were southerners. If slavery
be not wrong he said, nothing Is wrong,
echoing in this the opinion of most of the
Virginia gentlemen Of the eighteenth CEN
tury and voicing the sentiments OF thou-
sands of brave men who wore the Confed-
crate gray. Not less than the north,
therefore has the south reason to canon
lie Lincoln for he was the one friend we
had at COUNTRYSIDE from Grant and Sher-
man-when friends We're most IN need.
''If Lincoln had lived there would nave
been no era of reconstruction, with ITS
mistaken theories, repressive agencies
and oppressive legislation. If Lincoln
had lived there would have been want
ing to the extremism of the time the
bloody cue Of his taking off to mount the
steeds and spur the TANKS of vengeance.
For Lincoln entertained, with respect TO
the rehabilitation of the Union, the single
wish that the southern states-to use ms
homely plraseology-.should come back
home and behave themselves. and II ne
had lived he would have made this wish
effectual as he made everything effectual
to which he seriously addressed hlmseI.

problems no longer. Other, it may be
greater problems, rise before us. Shall
there arise another Lincoln?
May God grid round and guard his
successor in the great Office of chief magis-
trate whom we have here with us this
day; give him the soul of Lincoln to
feel, Lincoln's wisdom to see and know;
to the end that whichever of the parties
prevail and to whatever group of men
are committed the powers of admins
tration, whole-hearted devotion to the
public service and large-minded fidelity
to American institutions may continue
to glorify the teaching and example OF
Abraham Lincoln.

Exercises Tomorrow.

The unwilling of the Lincoln statue In
the rotunda of the new Kentucky capitol
precedes the dedication of the Lincoln
memorial at Hodgenville, KY, by day.
Many of those who came from distant
states to Frankfort to attend the exer-
cises here will continue their journey to-
morrow to Hodgenville. Near there is
the Lincoln farm. where the cabin In
which Abraham Lincoln was born is now
preserved in a monumental structure re-
Gently completed. 1t is the dedicat on OF
this memorial which will attract Presi-
dent Taft and others to Hodgenville to-
morrow.
In the big crowd that saw the statue
unveiled today were many negroes VINO
grew UP slaves and among them were
several who claimed to nave remembered
the Lincoln family in the early youth OF

birthplace of Lincoln, which for years
lay neglected, q second Mount Vernon

The invocation will be delivered by
Rabbi H. G. Enslow and the benediction

liver a short address.
Other prominent men who will pay
tribute to the memory OF Lincoln are
Senator Borah, Clarence H. Mackay:
, Joseph W. Folk, Gen. j. c. Black and
Henry Watterson.
Rescued From Neglect.
The dedication Of the Lincoln farm
memorial will mark the most signal
honor that has ever been paid to the
memory Of Lincoln. Eight years ago the
farm where Thomas Lincoln built the log
shack that housed the future President
of the United States was mass OF
weeds and underground. The walls OF
the old spring where the Lincoln famiiy
drew their water, and which was OFTEN
spoken Of by President Lincoln In after
life, were broken down by wandering
cattle. The log house had been moved
bodily for show purposes. and the road
that cut the property in two was much
in need of repair.
Notices of the farms auction were pub
lished. and the property was In danger
of falling into the hands of commercial
exploiters, when a few public spirited
citizens bought the estate and set about
identifying il. An oval tract was cleared
and set out In sod. Trees were planted
along the border and a competitive con-
test among Americas prominent archi-
tects brought many plans for the me-
mortal building.
A Marble Memorial.
The plans selected, those for the pres
ent memorial building, called for struc-
ture Of Tennessee marble, which stands
on a slight eminence where the Lincoln
log cabin used to be. The building is
square with massive pillars facing the
long stretch of lawn to a glistening mar
BILE shaft in the distance. Surrounding
the reception room are apartments for
the collection Of Lincoln relics from the
time of his childhood to his assassination.
1t was at first thought. to keep UP the
farm by private subscription, but as this
method is more or less subject to the
vicissitudes Of fortune, the donors today
announced that they had raised a fifty
thousand-dollar fund for the mainte-
nance of the building and grounds. and
that the whole would be turned over to
the state Of Kentucky for administration
in perpetuity.

DID NOT KILL Wife
DECLARED VIM. STRONG
SOIGmRIy Claims Innocence
of Crime

Mays Landing, ~ j., April BE
fore God, l am innocent! l did not
kill my wife," declared William Strong
/ the aged farmer of Nesco, as he took
the stand to defend himself against
| the charge of numbering his wife, Nell
Strong, on their farm in October last
The rugged old farmer gave his tes-
timony in a clear, straightforward
manner that impressed the crowd that
packed the little courtroom. He told
the story Of his thirty years of mar
ried life, of the financial struggles
he and his wife had encountered and
overcome, and of his affection fo-
her. He gave detailed account of his
movements the day of his wife's death,
told how he had found her body in
the barn when he returned from ma
ket and repudiated as a cruel lie
the testimony of Nine. Gerard, the AT,
lantic City boardwalk "psychometrist,"
that he had confessed the murder 10

Il went to Nine. Gerard he sail,
believing in her power to divine who
had killed my wife and hoping she
would help me discover the murderer.
Why, then, should / go, if l myself
was the criminal, laying myself open
to her power to read other peoples
minds?"
The state hal rested its wholly cir
cumstantial case against Strong, in
which the testimony of Nine. Gerard
was the strongest link, in the fore
noon, and then Judge Westcott, coun-
sci for Strong, opened the defense with
"a brief address to the jury, touching
on Nine. Gerard's evidence Judge
Westcott denounced it as the cruel
lest, most diabolical and heartless at
tempt ever made to swear away the
life of an innocent man"
The silence in the courtroom was
almost painful as the farmer took the
chair as his own first witness. Reply
ing to Judge Westcotts questions,
Strong's voice, at first nervous and
hesitating, grew tirmer and more posi-
tive as the crucial moment arrived
when he had to tell of the tragedy it.
