COURT PARTY |SS ENROUTE TO

Judge F. NJ. Brown, of the District Court, accompanied by District At torney Spence, Clerk of the Court Arthur Lang and Marshal Brenneman, left on the train this morning for Chitina. Tomorrow morning the party will go on to Mccarthy, where it is the intention of the judge to hold q public hearing on the question of the granting liquor licenses in that town.
 Recently a petition was forwarded from Mccarthy to Judge Brown re- questing that no further liquor licenses or renewals of same be granted in the town. This petition bore the sigma lures of Fl persons. Later two ap- plications for renewals of license were filed with the court, both having more than 80 signatures. There was very few Implications in the ,Ig. natures for and against the licenses and the question has been raised as to whether there are 150 residents in the town or within two miles thereof
 One of the licenses applied for was refused because of a protest filed against the proprietsr that he had sold liquor to an intoxicated person. No action has been taken on the second application pending the hearing.
 In the investigation the court will go into the question as to whether the signatures on both petitions are those of bona fide residents of the town, and on the result of the inquiry will rest the decision of the question of license or no license for Mccarthy. The hearing, it is expected, will be con cluded tomorrow afternoon, and the party will return on the train Sunday, taking the next boat for Valdez.
