NO DECISION
IN LIQUOR CASE
All Evidence and Argument
Now In.
DECISION IS RESERVED
1t is Expected that the Court Will
Render a Prompt De-
cision.

The Port Norris hotel case was con-
eluded in Common Pleas Court before
Judge Royal P. Tuller yesterday.
The petitioners put on several wit.
pesses in rebuttal; many of them being
ladies' of Port Norris, who testified to
the disorderly crowds which habitually
gathered about the hotel, obstructing
the sidewalk in front of the hotel and
polluting the air with profanity and
bud and boisterous language.
With this evidence the case was
closed, and the summing begun. This
consumed about an hour, and was
opened by ex-senator Avis, who made
short but lucid opening of his side
of the case. He was followed by Mr..
Ward and Mr.. Hilliard. both of whom
made brief but forceful arguments,
| bristling with law points and opinions,
showing wherein the petitioners had
| failed In establishing their claims
Senator Avis concluded the argu.
| ment, 10 which h5 reviewed the evil
dence with great care, and plainly
| laid before the Court that if the mass
OF evidence they had produced in sup
port of the allegations for the com
plainants, was not sufficient to warrant
tue revocation of the License of the
Port Norris hotel, it were useless to
suppose that any amount of evidence
| OF similar character would be sutfi-
| cieut.
| At the clvsa of ths arguments the
Judge reserved his decision.
| 1t is confidently expected however,
that Judge Tuller Will be prepared to
renoer decision within a very short
| time.
The general feeling is maintained by
those who heard the testimony of the
witnesses and the character of the evil
| dence that the decision will be in
favor of the complainants.

READY FOR
FOUNTAIN COVER

Materials are being placed upon
the ground for the cover for the Civic
Club bubbler fountain over in the City
Park. This is an improvement that
will be most noticeable and appreci-
ated. The fountain has always been
exposed and owing to the constant use
of water by the public, there has been
much dampness at the base. The COW
er will protect the fountain from the
elements and concrete flooring will
keep the people from standing upon
wet gravel.

BURGLAR in A
RESTAURANT

Harry Persons restaurant on S.
Laurel street, was burglarized last
night, or early this morning; there
was taken from it pounds of butter,
ham and jar of picked CLANS. 1t
looks as if the same parties who got
the cigars, etc., from Pierces' are the
same who got into Persons for eat
ables.
Entrance was made here by draw
ing a staple and hook from a back
cellar door, and then made their way
to the restaurant above. AS usual no
clues were left as far as can be dis
covered.
