A SALOON LICENSE
Cannot Open Place, at Least Until
Kugel Returns from Trip to
the Coast.
LEGAL POINT IS BROUGHT UP

One member absent and a tie vote
Of the six attending a regular ses-
sion OF the city council presents an
unusual situation in the case Of a
retail liquor application OF Isaac
Crossman, 524 North Sixteenth
street. II requires at least four
votes of the council to grant a sa-
loon license. In this instance the
license was not granted and the
mooted question is, does the tie vote
constitute legal rejection OF the
application, or is the matter still be-
fore the council, subject TO reconsid-
GRAFTON at some future date? For
the present, at least, the effect is
that the saloon cannot be reopened.
Commissioner Kugel will be out Of
the city for three weeks and Il is not
known how he would vote on this
proposition. His return may be tho
occasion for bringing the matter be-
fore the council again.
Was Manager Last Year.
Monday afternoon the council heard
evidence in connection with a protest
filed by Fannie Marksbury, who also filed
a protest against the application OF Isador
Godstein who had this saloon last year
and whose renewal was rejected by the
council two weeks ago. Grossmsn is
brother-in-law Of Goldstein and was man
ager OF the saloon last year.
Commissioners Hummol. Jardlne and
Drexel voted to refuse the license this
year and also voted to susta in the protest.
Mayor Dahlman and Commissioners But
Ter and Withheld voted TO grant the
, license and against tho protest.
MIR. Hummel was particularly opposed
to this saloon which is located near his
home. His contention is that there arc
too many saloons on North Sixteenth
street.
One can stand on any intersection OF
North Sixteenth street and see seven
saloons" stated Mr.. Hummel.

of the danger that may confront the

The subject came up when Repre-
sentative Stephens of California,
seeking to show that Pacific coast
was inadequately defended, asked if
the board in altering it's policy did
not have in mind the possibility that
the country might have to face sim.
ultaneously enemies in the Pacific

ger said he could answer that only
in executive session.
He explained, however, that fleet
capable of dominating the Pacific
ocean was the only sure protection
for the Pacific coast, and said the
earth slides in the Panama canal
had made impossible for the present,
and possibly for another year, the
use of the fleet in either ocean. Fur

sion.

Members of the Commercial club
are urged to attend luncheon this
noon for Rev. J. M. Mahin of New

Rev. Mahin is a retired minister

the capital removal to Bismarck was
an issue. He remembers we'll how
this city, just frontier village then,
raised 100000 and donated $50
acres for territorial capital purposes.
He represents the pioneers of the
state who remember the famous

Mahin royal welcome. He has CIV

ISSUE.

London Feb. 23.-Premier Asquith
found himself Unexpectedly face to
face in the house of commons today
with a new demand for the govern
ment views on peace. He took up the
gauntlet almost eagerly and in a fif-
teen minute speech made it clear
that the British governments deter
mination to carry the war to the end
without compromise had not abated
one jot or little since the early days
Of the struggle.
The only terms Of peace Premier
Asquith offered to the countries
were contained in the historic an
nouncement which was the outstand-
ing speech at the Guild hall in No
vember, 1914, which he repeated
"We shall never sheath the sword
which we have not lightly drawn un-
til Belgium-and will add Serbia
recover in full measure all and more
than they have sacrificed-until
France is adequately secured against
aggression; until the rights of the
