COURT REFUSES
 LIQUOR LICENSES TO
 SKAGWAY APPLICANTS

Judge Robert w. Jennings decided at Skagway Saturday that those seeking liquor licenses had failed to show that a majority of the citi- zeus over 2l years Of age were will ing that the licenses should be is- sued. and the saloons will have two weeks in which to dispose of tteir liquor stocks and retire from busi- ness.
 Three of the four saloons that had existed at Skagway before the first of July applied for a license and asked that new election be called on the question of wet or dry. X hearing was granted them by Judge Jennings. and it was held Saturday It appeared at the hear ing that every contention as to the census and the voting alleged by the saloon men were true they would still be short of enough votes Go make the town wet.
 The saloon men contended that there were people who were entitled to vote whose names were not among those registered; that some were registered wrongfully, and that some Of those who were wrOngfully registered voted. It was shown that if every one of these contentious were true. that it every vote that was wrongfully cast was dry vote and every voter who was not registered and did not vote was ia. vorable Co the vets. the vets wOulc not have been successful, so the court closed the hearing without going into the question as to wheth- CT the contentious of the vets were true or otherwise.
 Judge Jennings announced that he would deny the applications for li- ceuses. but would not enter formal order denying them for two weeks.
 Judge Jennings returned to Jul neau late Saturday night.

 The remains were found by one of the other inmates of the home a few minutes after the deed A coroner's jury was empaneled by ! Commissioner DeArmond which re- turned a verdict of "death by his own hand" The funeral service. were held in Sitka.
