PROTEST IS VIGOROUS
AGAINST SALOON SITE
East Capitol Citizens Oppose License
to Martin Roth at Excise
Hearing.

Protests against the proposed estab-
lishment Of a saloon at 416 East Capitol
street were voiced by property owners
and residents in the neighborhood af-
fected at a largely attended hearing be-
fore the excise board today.
With Joseph c. Sheehy, former presi-
dent of the board. representing Martin
Roth. applicant for the license, and A. E.
Shoemaker, attorney for the Anti-Saloon
League, appearing for the protestants,
the hearing developed into one of the
most vigorously contested cases that
the excise commissioners have ever been
called upon to consider.
Attorney Sheehy endeavored to prove
by several witnesses that Roth, who has
conducted saloon at 901 street north
east for several years, bears good repu-
tation among the residents of that sec
ton. James F. Crown and DR.. Leon
Friedrich made character witnesses
for the applicant.
In Residential Section
Effort was made by Attorney Shoe
maker to have the case dismissed on the
ground that the testimony given for Roth
indicated that the site on which he pro-
poses to locate is in residential section,
and that the law prohibits the establish
ment of saloons in residential sections.
The board ruled that the character of
the neighborhood was a question for
future determination.
Attorney Shoemaker sought to prove
by number of witnesses that the
neighborhood affected Ia a residential
one and a majority of the citizens re-
siding in that section are opposed to
the board taking favorable action on
the Roth application.
Among those who testified were Repre-
sentative Addison T. Smith of Idaho, Rev.
A II. Thompson. pastor of Waugh NJ. E.
Church; Charles n. Lehman, W. H.
Manogue and others.
Following a recess for luncheon the
hearing reconvened at 2 o'clock this aft
ernoon. when additional protestants testi-
fed.

They base this assertion on economic
as well as patriotic grounds. They say
that If Ulster is cut off from Ireland she
will lose large part of the capital with
which she operates her big industries, and
that she would be at n serious disad-
vantage with respect to internal trade.
Furthermore, the nationalists say that

The liberals have come into sharp con-
tact with that aristocratic spirit OF as

between Asquith and Redmond has more
hearty support in Ireland thar any such
