KNOCKS DOWN POLICEMAN
Arrest of Tenderloin Character May
Explain Robbery.

BY the arrest of a man who had beaten
a patrolman early this morning, the police
of the 10th and Buttonwood streets sta
tion believe they will be able to explain

He was arrested while sneaking into an
alley in the rear of TT Buttonwood street
shortly after midnight by Policeman
James Phelan, of the 20th and Federal
streets station, who had been doing
special quarantine duty in the district.
Gelb turned on the policeman, knocked
him down and kicked him in the face.
Special Policeman Weckeffer happened
along and took him into custody. Phelan
was sent to the Hahnemann Hospital
with badly !acerated face and bruised
shoulder.
Magistrate Belcher held Gelb in $1,000
bail for further hearing. The police say
the man has reputation" John Reed,
who lives at III Buttonwood street, testi-
fled that the house had been robbed about
q week ago.

FIGHT OVER LICENSES
Is WAXING WARMER
Charges of Attempted Bribery
of Witnesses Made in West
Chester Court.

WEST CHESTER, Pa, March 17.-Hav-
ing completed his investigation of license
applications in West Chester, Phoenix
Vile and Coatesville, the leading bor-
oughs of the county, Judge William But
Ter has directed his attention to the
smaller hotels, and it is likely at least
three days will be consumed In consider
ing these cases. 1t Is expected that de-
cisions on license applications will be
made known Friday morning.
Two of the West Chester applications
have been heard. That OF Park Gable.
who Is asking a license for the Brandy
wine Inn, formerly the Farms Hotel, Will
not be heard until most of the other cases
have been disposed Of Gable has con-
Quoted the house without license for a
year. The fact that Gable, while proprie-
tor of the Green Tree Inn, was refused
license two years ago Is being used
against him by the opposition. Yester-
day he was advised by attorneys to with
draw his application, but announced that
he would continue to fight for the license.
The fight for a license for the Hotel
Parkesburg, at Parkesburg, on the part
of Hugh and Harry Brogan, was con-
tinued at the night session. The applica-
ton is bitterly opposed by the no-license
forces.
Charges of attempted bribery of wit
nesses are made by the opposition to the
application. The application or B. F.
Dorsheimer, of Coatesvlle, also was con-
sidered. Charles Dunn. son of former
postmaster at Parkesburg, testified that
Harry Brogan had given him sl2 and told
him TO get out of the State March r.
Dorsheimer later added $40 to this amount
Dunn declared, so he went to Trenton,
n. j., where he remained until Monday.
"I lived in the town since 1880 and got
drunk at least four times year at the
hotel kept by the Brogans," Dunn said.
II borrowed $40 from Harry Brogan and
Intended to pay him later. When l re-
turned to Coatesville Monday, l borrowed
80 from Dorshelmer. A. S. Jackson, n
special policeman for the No-license Com
mlttee, gave me SO for expenses to come
here"
A dramatic scene was enacted when
Mrs. William Dickson, of Parkesburs,
whose husband committed suicide year
ago, was called. She declared she had
served notice in writing on the hotelmen
not to sell liquor to her husband, out
the note had been returned with the reply
that 1t was Outlawed by time
"You, Harry Brogan," she explained
as she pointed at the hotelman, are the
man who robbed me of my husband"
John McAvoy and Levi Townsley testi-
fed that Dunn was a man OF intemperate
habits, but on New Years Day had
pledged TO reform at the request of Town
sley. Francis A. Manlove, Methodist
minister, said he saw Walter Thomas In

LIGHT VOTE OF WOMEN
IN SCHOOL ELECTION
Meagre Returns in New Jersey
Indicate Total Below What
Was Expected.

TRENTON, March 17.--Meagre returns,
but enough on which TO base an estimate,
Indicate that the attempt TO get women
to vote on school appropriations all over
New Jersey yesterday was not as sue
cessful as was looked for.
In cities school appropriations are
made by the Board OF School Estimate,
but In townships and in boroughs they
are voted on direct by the electorate The
law gives women of New Jersey the right
to vote on appropriations, but not on the
election of school trustees.
The returns show that the women did
not go to tho polls in large numbers, eX-
cepting where there was contest. In
several places, however, they went elec-
tioneerng for the votes of men at the
coming special election on the amendment
to the Constitution permitting women to
vote on all questions.
In Hoboken the women made an effort
to get pledges from men for this question,
and in the township of Ewing, this coun-
ty, by enrolling q women, they helped the
progressive element of the electorate to
vote in better schoolhouses. more teach
ers and an extension of the educational
system. There were 100 votes poled all
told, the women carrying the election by
| their numbers.
The presence here today of members of
| the Legislature, as well as of leaders of
| all parties, made possible the getting
| of a good line on what the women did
| yesterday, the general trend Of the COM
ment being that the turnout was smaller
| than expected
| The "antis" here will send out tracts
| calling attention to the comparatively
small number of women who came out
to vote on questions on which they have
always mad the ballot, and mean to use
1t in their campaign against the adoption
of the suffrage amendment to the Con
stitution. upon which the voters of the
State will vote in a special election soon.

LICENSE ORDERED
REVOKED AT ONCE
Court Takes Unusual Proceed
ure in Case of A. E. Fried
berg.

Judges Stake and Patterson. in the
License Court today, ordered that the
Wholesale and bottlIng license of Abra-
ham Z. Friedberg. at 542S Market street.
be revoked Immediately An immediate
revocation Is extremely unusual.
The firmness of the courts disposition
to compel Wholesale liquor dealers to
comply with all the requirements of the
Brooks high license law in dlsposing of
their supplies was made evident by the
remarks of the Judges when they re-
voked Friedberg's license,
The earnest pleas of the liqlor mans
attorney, William F. Rorke. and counsel
for S. NJ. Wass and his wife, owners OF
the property, that leniency be shown, and
that he simply be admonished for his
carelessness in conducting the business,
failed to convince the court that Fried
berg neglected to live up TO the letter of
the law when he sold whisky to Howard
Dickinson, of 55Ol Locust street, con-
fessed drunkard, and solicited business
from his delivery wagon instead of con-
flnlng the sale of beer and liquors to his
store.
After reviewing the notes of testimony
taken at the hearing on the remonstrance
filed by Dickinson, Judge Stake, speak
ing for himself and Judge Patterson, said :
"You seem to think that you can sell
liquor TO an habitual drunkard during
the moments when he actually Is not in
toxicated That isn't the idea of the law
at all. If there was anything in this case
indicating your refusal to furnish liquor
TO Dickinson, whom you admitted you
knew was addicted to the excessive use
of alcohol, you would have some ground
upon which to base your plea for le-
niency."
The second case brought before the at
tention of the License Court today resulted
in the trial of Eugene C, Buck, of 2942
Gray's Ferry road who is under indict-
ment for forgery and perjury. The
charges were brought by Mrs, Esther G..
X. Furey, of 1925 Cayuga street, at whose
home Buck is boarder,
Mrs. Furey accuses Buck of having in
duced her aged uncle TO mortgage his
property so Buck could buy saloon. She
also declares he beat the old man on
several occasions, and charges Buck with
failing to return jewelry she gave him to
pawn for her so that he could pay bill.
