MANY LICENSES
ARE REFUSED

The loss Of ten liquor licenses in
Delaware county has been the net
result to date of the FIRST campaign
OF the No-License League Of the
county, which made one Of the most
determined fights IN the history OF
the state to cut down the number OF
licensed places I'm the county.
Late yesterday afternoon Judges
Johnson and Broomall decided TO re-
fuse ten licenses and TO grant six
teen more, making total of sixty
six granted and leaving twenty still
TO be passed on
OF those refused, seven aie In Ches-
ter, five hotels and two stores, and
The remaining three are two hotels
and a bother in the county outside
Chester. The courts decision on the
twenty remaining cases, il was an
nounced may be handed down at any
time.
Aside from the refusing of ten j
censes, in itself something of a ahoel
to the liquor men, probably the great
est surprise lay in the granting OF th'
Newtown Square license and the re
fusal of the Rose Tree Inn. A strou'
/ fight was made against the Newtowi
/ Square license. Its hearing followed
| the passing OF several cases withou
/ testimony. and it therefore attracted
considerable attention. particular.
I as il was the first case TO involve
considerable amount of testimony.

handed down by the court on demur-
rer filed in the case. DR.. Kuhns was APP

lstituted to try to oust him from that
iofice it being alleged that DR.. kuhns
was not qualified veterinarian, as re-
lauired bv the statute. The court de-
eided that Dr.. Kuhns was not properly
appointed by the governor. as his COM
mission was dated before the law under
which the Office was created went INTO
effect.
Mr.. Morris said he cid not believe the
court would tolerate the defendant 10

of the case.
Mr.. Norris said the plea now pc

BY JOHN E. NEvIN

staff Correspondent OF the United Press
WASHINGTON. Juu. l6.-Plans have
been completed for the government of
the Canal Zone All that is required TO
put them into operation is an executive
order by President Wilson. This order.
it was learned today, is in course ot
preparation and win be issued in the
very near future.
The plan, it is understood, contem-
plates:
Designation OF Colonel George w.
Goethals. builder OF the canal as its
first governor with plenary powers.
Designation OF Colonel IL. +. Hodges,
now assistant chief engineer; lieuten-
ant Colonel William l.. Sibert. division
engineer of the Atlantic division; Civil
Engineer H. II. Rousseau, OF the navy
now assistant to Colonel Goethals and
Richard l.. Metcalfe, now head of the
civil administration as committee "a
have charge under congressional en-
abline act. of the plans for the formal
opening of the canal ON January l, 1919
fhe latter committee viii have NJ
powers over the actual operation OF tho
canal or the administration OF the ZONE
and will automatically 90 out OF oihc'
as soon as the canal is formally opened
The outcome is a sweeping victory
| for Colonel Goethals. From the
start he has insisted that he, as the
man who made the canal possible
I should select the men to operate Il
The other army and navy officers who
90 on the opening board, wanted
| eoual recognition with Goethals
4 while Metcalf, who was formerly edi
tor of the COmmoner, had suggested
that a commission form OF govern
ment be put in force. Under tn
plan which the president has abou
; decided to approve, Goethals get
complete recognition and will pu
the canal in operation.
II was stated that it will requir
minimum of $500 trained men t
operate the canal and govern tn
zone. All OF the men now on tn
= Isthmus have applied for position
under the civil governor, and hi
chief work will be to select jus
!. those who are best fitted for tn
work. This Goethals can do afte
his own fashion inasmuch as unde
the Adamson act the civil service
waived in the recognition of the civ
government
Rumors continue to circulate her
Of serious friction between the of
cfals now on the zone. That theI
has been real break between Co
onel Goethals and some of the me

SUGGEST BRANCH
BANK In DELAWARE
BY The United Press.

BY The United Press.
WASHINGTON. ID. c.. Jan. 16.--ln
the course of the hearing Of bankers
urging fhat Philadelphia be made a
regional bank centre. Governor Mil
Ter, of Delaware was asked il "a
branch reserve bank In Wilmington
would not meet the needs of the sit-
uation in Delaware.
Governor Miller said it was his
idea that such branch bank would
not be nearly so advantageous as a
district bank in Philadelphia. which
would make a branch institution in
Wilmington unnecessary.
c. VI. Steward. secretary Of The
Delaware Bankers Association and
vice-president of the Wilmington
Trust Company, emphasized the fact
that Delaware banks bought a great
deal of paper from Philadelphia and
naturally sought the advice OF Phila-
delphia bankers on such matters. For
this reason he was especially anxious
that a regional bank be established
in Philadelphia.

BANKERS IGNORANT
OF INCOME TAX LAW

WASHINGTON. Jan. 16.-Despite
all the thousands of forms and
scores Of regulations issued by the
Treasury Department concerning the
manner in which the income tax is

up misapprehension about the law.
Within the last few days two checks
have been received at the Depart
ment IN payment Of the tax on in
come withheld at the source.
The tax is payable TO the collector
OF internal revenue in the proper dis
trict and in each case the Treasury
forwarded the check to a collector, to
be returned later to Washington.
One OF the surprising features wac
that the checks came not from individ
uals who might misinterpret the iaw

MEXICAN PLAN
IS ATTACKED
Mr.. GiIIett Says Secretary
Bryan'S Policy Invites
Contempt
REPRESENTATIVE FEARS
ULTIMATE WAR

WASHINGTON, Jan l6.-"Serious
questions of state are not settled by re-
munerative lectures OF by moving pie
tures."
lu the House yesterday Representa-
tive Frederick r. Gillett. Republican, OF
Massachusetts,, thus summarized a
sweeping and bitter criticism OF the
policies of Secretary Of State Bryan. He
declared that the State Departments
continued policies of inaction with re-
gard TO the Mexican situation meant ul-
! innate Intervention in that country by
the United States.
Despite the noble words OF peace it
seems to me-" he said, 'our policy and
conduct from the beginning has steadily
idrifted toward war.
"Partisanship ought to stop at the
frontier. In all that affects our rela-
tons with foreign governments l
want TO support whatever Admins
tration is in power. But an Admin
istration ought not TO rely upon that
I patriotic trait to plunge us unneces-
sarily into danger. IL ought not TO
court foreign war or hazard in order
to soiidify its political strength, nor
should reasonable criticism or a
policy be suppressed so long as en-
couragement as aid is thereby not
given to the enemy.
Great restraint has certainly been
exercised in allowing this Admins
tration unhampered scope in its
foreign policy,
Il do not suppose our Secretary OF
State has any special familiarity will
his new duties, although that did not
prevent him from discharging many
of the trained and skillful force in hi'
Office and filling their places witt
men whose claims we're based oI
political service and obligation.
"The questions pending ther
were more important than providing
/ offices for his friends or cultivatin
: his politicalu supporters. His ane
room should have been thronged wit
those ready to throw new light on hi
new problems rather than with OF
; fice-seekers and politicians. TIL
I country needed more that he shoul
read international law than delive
Chautauqua lectures.
Il do not imagine that the Amer
s can people have been greatly disturb
Il ed by this novel conduct. Most of U
