HOTEL License REFUSED
French's Hotel Dry for Another
Year

Judge EdWard Z. WaddingtOn refused
last Friday to grant a license to Ed
ward H. Maher to sell liquors in
French's Hotel, Penns Grove, ON the
ground that Mr.. Maher was not in pos
session of a legal lease nor of a valid op-
ton to purchase the property. The
Courts ruling prevents Maher or any
other person applying for a license for
this old established house that was Ii
censed for more than so years, for an
other year.
Maher appeared in Court without
Counsel and presented his own case,
while the dry" forces were represented
by the law firm of Sharpless & Wray,
OF Camden. The remonstrants alleged
that the tenancy of the applicant would
expire March 10, that the licenses were
not a necessity and would not con-
duce to public good and hat the prem
ises were within one mile of lands own
ed by a duly incorporated camp-meeting
association.
Called to the stand, Maher produced
for inspection by the Court an agree
ment made with Colonel Joseph G.
French for the lease of the property,
containing an option to purchase in the
event of him obtaining a license. There
also was exhibited notice to quit the
premises March %, served upon Maher
by the French Hotel Corporation, of
which Horace S. Wilson, of Wilmington,
is the president.
Kept it Open at a Loss.
Maher said that when he leased the
premises the place was licensed and
that, when the license was revoked, he
had kept the house open for the con-
venience of the public at a loss. He
commended that there was no place in
Penns Grove where men and women can
congregate for business transactions and
that his rooms had been used for such
purposes, and he said that, if a license
should be granted him, he wal fully able
to finance the purchass of the place and
to conduct it as it should be conducted.
Attorney Sharpless contended that
Maher did not have a lease for the prem
ises or a valid option to purchase. He
said that on March II, 1879, John NJ.
Hall and wife conveyed the property to
Emma G. French, wife of Colonel
French, and that she and the Colonel on
February 8, 1916, decided the property
to the Merchants Transportation Com
pany and the latter on April II, 1916,
conveyed it to the French Hotel Corpor-
alton. That being the case, said the
lawyer, Col. French had no legal right
in 1915 to lease the hotel and give an
option to Maher.
Judge Waddington ruled that as Col
onel French as far back as the seventies
had conveyed the property to his wife,
he had no right to lease it to Maher nor
to give him al option to buy and there
fore Maher has no lease nor option.
Maher and former Prosecutor J.. For
man Sinnickson, who drew the agree
ment for Colonel French, declared that
the papers were executed in good faith,
that nothing was said at the time that
Mrs. French was the owner of the no.
tel and that it was not until some
months ago that the facts became
known. The applicant did not think he
should suffer by reason of the lapse of
memory of Colonel French, but the
Court ruled that it had no alternative
and denied both applications.

The House this morning spent al most the entire session considering school bill. After the session had opened a message from the Senate transmitting House Bill No 3. in which a slight amendment had been made, was received and it was placed on the daily file. A petition from a number of residents of the Third Division asking for the construction of q road to the Cache Creek sec tion was read. House Bill 15. relat ing to the formation of banks was placed on the calendar for third reading House Joint Memorial re lating to proposed changes in the canvassing of returns from election was recommended for passage.
 Resolutions asking that the Ter ritorial secretary be required to send copies of memorial protesting against the passage of the Alexander Bill was introduced and passed un der suspension of the rules,
 Representative Day introduced House Bill 40 providing for the changing of one word in the Ses sion Laws of 1915 and for the talk ing of the dispositions of witnesses within the Territory. The House then considered House Bill 21 with amend ments which was referred to com mittee on engrossment.

 Afternoon Session
 Heated discussion of House Bill No. 2, pertaining to the establishment of a uniform school system in the Territory, was continued section by section in committee of the whole House at 130 o'clock this afternoon
 The question which was raised by Representative Daily regarding the control of the Territory over the Nel son schools was answered by Judge Houston, of the Committee of Ter ritories in a telegram from Washing ton, D. C., this afternoon, wherein he stated that by the act of March 3 of this year, the Territory was given full control of all schools in the Territory except the Native schools which are still under Fed

 Discussion and motion of Repre- sentative Daily to amend the substi' ute bill now under consideration, whereby the territorial superintendent would receive $3,000 a year instead of 5000 was lost, the general opin ion holding that $5.0C0 was little enough to pay for the services of a first class superintendent who would devote time and ability exclusively to the upbuilding of a permanent and first rate school system.

A Ford Story
ROBERT j. EVANS,
Layreader.

The Craig Empire works OFF, the
following Ford story:
One Ford, five passengers, 35 miles
an hour, base ball fence, and
Twenty dollars and costs, Mr..
Messmore," said Police Magistrate
Marble Monday morning to o. X.
Messmore, who the evening before
had tried to break few records, q
few, necks and q few feet of base ball
fence at the ball park when Mess
more attempted to find out how fast
q jitney could travel a circular track
without splitting Its occupants. o. X.
was driving and everything went o.
X. until the last half of the last lap
Of the first mile had been run-the
jitney got tired and felt that every
thing was not o. X. and hiked into
the fence. An eight-inch cedar post
was cut of about fourteen inches
from the ground when o. KS jitney
hit it and fifteen feet Of fence was
scattered all over the street. Walter
Winberg, one of the passengers, WAS
pinned beneath the car and for time
was In q serious condition. The other
passengers escaped with little shak-
ing up and considerable scare slowed
away in their nerves. The jitney is
being put In 8 box to be ship
ped to the factory to be rebuilt. o.

An Aid to The Red Cross

In commenting on the recently or
ganized auxiliary to the Red Cross
The National Surgical Dressings
Committee-the last issue Of the
Saturday Evening Post says, among
other things:
aside from this powerful organi-
cation (the Red Crosse there were
scores of others, laboring in more
limited fields. The work of one of
these, the National Surgical Dress
ings Committee, ia noteworthy, for
here an organization invaded the Red
Cross circle of endeavor and began
sending hospital supplies to Europe.
Why did 1t not contribute funds to
the Red Cross, which already had an
organization built up for that very
purpose? The answer reveals one of
the prime defects of the Red Cross Of
this period---defects which right
along were negative ones.
"The National Surgical Dressings
Committee was built up from ma
terials that the Red Cross refused to
use. It was built out of rags. Frag-
ments of old. linen, old sheets, cob
webby lingerie, all the millions Of
odd bits that ordinarily find q home
In the ash bin were made into
surgical dressings. Today 1t has
one of the best business organizations
of its kind to be found In the country.
No red tape, no cumbersome ma
chinery. 1t Is as mobile and straight
forward as . fire hose, and almost rs
effective In action. 1t has reduced It's
problem to its lowest common de-
nominator, with the result that 1t
gets action, 1t gets teamwork, 1t gets
speed. In the two years Of its humble
existence this society has sent over
seventeen millions Of surgical dress
ings to lhe French and English and
Italian hospitals"
