OXFORD, Pa, CITIZENS
WANT TWO SALOONS
Urge Granting of License, Say
ing One Drinking Place
Is insufficient
BIZ a star Correspondent

WEST CHESTER, Pa. March a.
one saloon is not sufficient to satisfy
the needs Of the residents Of COM
munity of $500 persons, in the opinion of
witnesses who appeared in the Chester
County License Court today to favor
the regranting of a license to James
Ferguson, proprietor of the Octoraro
House, at oxford, Pa, town at the
southern end Of this county near the
Maryland border.
Several of the witnesses said that II
was frequently necessary to wait five
minutes before drink could be had in
the oxford House, where the only saloon
now in the town is situated.
Ferguson's license was revoked several
years ago because of alleged nfractions
of the law 1t was shown that Ferguson
was not in the barroom when the alleged
violations took place, but Judge Butler
ruled today that this was no excuse under
the law. He said 1t showed, rather, lack
of responsibility and failure to keep in
close touch with affairs in his saloon.
Colonel Gallagher and Squire Smith, jus
tlces Of the Peace in oxford were among
those who spoke in favor of the license.
only one drunken man was arrested In
oxford in a year when there were no
saloons there, and he stepped off n train
from Philadelphia, said former Burgess
Harry c. Thomas in the Chester County
License Court here today
The burgess cited this for purposes of
comparison with the two or three arrests
during a year when there was one saloon
In town and Al arrests when two saloons
were running.
The ignorance of a young investigator
who did not know the difference in color
between gin and whisky stirred the anger
of Judges and spectators.
Norman Coates. 20 years old, of High
land township appeared TO protest against
n renewal to Samuel $. Yost,
proprietor of the Gum Tree Inn, in that
township, on the ground that he had sold
liquor to intoxicated persons. Coates tos.
titled that a man drank gin in his pres.
ence.
what color is gin?" asked Colonel
counsel for Yost.
Dark" said Coates.
Like whisky?' asked Yost's attorney.
"Wel, l guess there isn't much differ
ence," replied Coates.

IN FEAR OF BLOCKLEY,
WOMAN KILLS HERSELF
Mrs. Layton's Dread of Joining
Insane Husband Drives
Her to Suicide

The fear that she would be sent to join

oyster saloon at 1895 Susquehanna ave.

She was found dead on the floor of her
little cafe, o tube attached to a gas jet
in her mouth. by Charles Hill, an employee
Everything about the place was in order
thoughts of the old woman were for her
of her livelihood since her husband went
insane.
Mrs. Layton, the police say, had been
melancholy and nervous for some time,
Last Sunday she attempted to kill herself
by taking a mixture of sugar and liniment,
but was saved before the poison could
become effective. She had been advised by
her physician, Dr. Joseph NJ. Smith, 1887
East Susquehanna avenue, to close her
cafe for a while and go to the Hahnemann
Hospital for good rest. She was to leave
today.
The woman, however, was firm in her
belief that she would never be admitted
to that institution, but that her family
planned to send her to the Philadelphia
Hospital

CITY OFFICIALS CLASH
ON JEFFERSON'S PAST
Treasurer McCoach Declares
Nephew's Prank" as Boy Is
No Bar for Job

The action of the Civil Service Commits
sion In removing a nephew of City Treas
urer Mccoach from the eligible lists,
against the protest or the Ware official
has occasioned strained relations between
the two offices of the city government
President Griffith says the young man was
removed because he had been indicted for
burglary by an Atlantic County Grand
Jury.
W. MeC. Jefferson, the man in question,
Is reported to have been indicted as the
result of a boys prank, and his uncle and
others declare that II should not be held
against him in his efforts to obtain place
on the municipal payroll His removal
caused comment because of the elements
entering into 1t.
Treasurer McCoach, as a Ware leader,
Is In sympathy with the Smith admlnlstra-
ton, but he differs widely with Mayor
Smiths appointee on the commission when
II comes to the question of the removal
OF favored relative. He is understood to
have taken firm stand before the COM
mission for the retention of his nephew,
but has nothing to say for publication
other than the fact that Jefferson was
arrested as a result of a prank"
Another element in the situation is that
xaung Jefferson Is a son OF James s.
Jefferson. superintendent of the eity's ice
boats and dredges He is a brother OF
Granville s. Jefferson, the police-boat
pilot. who recently was acquitted of MUIR
der Following the latter's acquittal the
courts ordered that he be restored 10 his
position as pilot, and yesterday. on repre-
senfations from the Department OF Public
Safety, the money was appropriated to
pay for his salary.
