"A second and conflicting er-

Nine Licenses ARE OPPOSED
Remonstrances Against Liquor Estab-
lishments viii Be Considered By
the Court on Friday

When Judges Kunkel and McCarrell
convene the annual liquor license court
here on Friday morning, they will be
asked to consider, in addition to ap-
plcations for the relicensing of all
liquor establishments in the county,
nine remonstranees, filed by electors and
women who allege "no necessity" In
one case, that Of John Mackert, bot
tier in Upper Paxton township, it is
charged that ne has violated the liquor
laws.
Two additional remonstrances were
filed late yesterday. One is in opposi-
tion to the relicensing of the Ann
street, Middletown hotel, which recent
ny was taken over by Harry White from
John A. Haas. The other is against the
application of Harry f. Eckinger, who
wants to open bar at the Paxtonia
Inn, along the Limglestown road, which
for year has been "dry." In these
three cases it is expected that the court
will conduct hearings and take testi-
mony.
The application of Theodore S. Fry,
Fifth and South streets, is opposed on
the allegation that he is not fit person
for license. 1t is charged that he has
failed and refused to pay a furniture
bill.
The applicants of Wiconisco town
ship, five in number, all are opposed in
general circumstances in which emo
necessity" is alleged. The court, in
years gone by, has made it practice
to grant all licenses to which no remon-
strances have been fled.
