JUDGE CRiSWELL SUSTAINED

The Supreme Court Ct Pennsyl-
rania, by an order handed down
has refused a petition that an ap.
peal to that tribunal should be al
lowed from the decision of the
Court in the Venango County Il
cense cases.
The decision Is the elimination
of a long and bitter fight waged
against the liquor dealers in Venan-
90 County by the antisaloon force ,.
Last spring Judge George S. Girls
we'll president judge of Ner2n@0
county, refused to grant any of the
applications for liquor licenses, either
retail or wholesale, and twenty-three
Of the applicants appealed to the
Superior Court from his decision,
The licenses We're refused on the
grounds that the granting of licenses
to sell liquor would be detrimental
in point of public economics, morals,
law and order. Some of the hotels
for which licenses had been sought
rad been licensed houses for fifty
years.
When the appeal to the Superior
Court was taken last spring that
court in a long opinion refused to
interfere with the decision of Judge
Criswell, declaring that he had dis
cretionary power to grant or refuse
the applicants as he saw fit AS a
result of the Supreme Court refus-
ing to permit an appeal from that
decision, Venango County will re-
main dry for the remainder of the
present year.
The aDnlicatiOnS which ware rp-
fused by Judge Criswell were by
twelve retail and three wholesale
dealers in Oil City, seven retail
dealers in Franklin and one by a
| dealer in Housewife

Braves Not flush.


1t is not altogether surprising
that the impression should very
generally prevail that the Braves,
because they Won the pennant and
got into the worlds series, quit
big winners. This is an entirely
mistaken idea. As matter of fact
President Gaffney did not get even
a fair investment upon the S360,000
that the Boston club stands him.
There were two reasons why the
Braves profits were but mighty
small part of the profits made by
the Red SoX in 1912, when they
won the worlds series, or of the
profits earned by the New York
Giants in any one of recent years
The first reason was that the Bos-
ton club was almost hopelessly in
the hole when they started west on
July s, and While the receipts from
then en- We're more than satisfactory
there was 4 big early-seasOn deficit
to overcome. Then the worlds ser
les being finished up in four games
netted the Braves less money than
the worlds series winning club has
ever before received out Of the ser
les Deducting the expenses Or
staging the series, expenses that
were almost as heavy for the two
games played here as in 1912 when
the Red Sox played five, the net
profit of the series was hardly worth
talking about.

here to indicate that the German Of

The official statement issued today
by the Russian general staff was as
follows: ~
The only vigorous operations re-
ported are those on the right wing,
near Augustowo.
The Russian movement on Memel
caused great uneasiness and the Ger

front seem to indicate thar pro-
longed lull Is about TO begin.
..in Bukowina a decisive struggle
for the possession OF Czernowitz is
expected"

FOOD GROWS SCARCE
IN AUSTRIA-HUNGAR

Rome, March 21--A dispatch from
Vienna today says;
The municipality is striving to find
a remedy for the scarcity of food
which is becoming more acute and is
insisting upon the cultivation OF vege-
tables. especially of potatoes, which in
future will be grown everywhere, in
Guiding the cemeteries.
1T is unlikely, however. that famine
can be averted since the poor are &C
customed to bread, which is very
scarce. Besides food, medical sup
plies, cotton and wool are very
scarce. since importation from
America Is forbidden
Stocks OF sulphuric acid, nitric
acid and saltpetre. necessary for the

RELIGIOUS ISSUE
BARRED In "CHI"

Chicago. March 2i.--Wiiiiam Hale
Thompson and Robert NJ. Sweitser
agreed today that a Mayoraity csndi-
date raising the issue of religion
would deserve defeat mt the April

nying the use of such methods In his
own campaign.
Commodore Thompson said "In The
public press the r. ople are info, med
that sweitxer puts the religious issue
before the. voters. I depiore the rails
ing OF the religious question in n po-
ltical campaign.

That 10000 Harrison Democrats will
support Thompson. the Republican
candidate for Mayor. was the decla-
ration today of John NJ Kantor, one
OF the Mayors leaders on the West
