'DRYS" FIGHT TWO
license Grants
Tolls and D'Amico Cases
Before General Sessions
Court Today
AINSCOW CASE
Is CONTINUED

Sitting to hear remonstrances TO
the granting of liquor licenses, filed
by the Law aud Order Society, Judges
Boyce and Conrad today considered
the application of Joseph c. Jolls for
a license for the ST. Georges Hotel, at
St. Georges, and reserved decision in
the case of Joseph D'Amico. who APP
piled for 2 renewal at No. $40 Tatnall
street. Tho application of Colonel
Alfred l.. Ainscow. of No. S02 Market
street was continued until March 80.
Mary r. McGovern, who formerly
conducted the St Georges Hotel. was
denied a renewal Of the license at the
November term of court. Caleb i.
Burchenal representing the league,
contended that Jolls was acting for
Mrs. McGovern in the matter and that
after an application for license re-
newal is refused no application for
renewal can be made under two years.
Mr.. Jolls produced his lease for the
hotel, executed January %, for a term
of three months az the rental OF 80 a
month. with an option TO purchase the
property for $4,000 on or before May
% He explained that the rental was
placed at the low figure because nc
had agreed TO make extensive repairs
TO the hotel. Witnesses from 81
Georges testified to the good order
that has been maintained in the vii
lage since the hotel was closed fol
lowing the refusal TO renew MIS-. NC
Governs application. Upon cross-eX
animation by l.. Irving Handy, coun'
sci for Jolls, all these witnesses ad
mitted that they were opposed l'
liquor selling. The case will be con
tinued this afternoon.
Relative to the application o
D'Amico. Horace G. Eastburn, repre-
senting the Law and Order Society
held that as D'Amico had been con
v:cted OF q violation Of the law, tn,
court should not grant the renewal
Leonard L. Wales urged that a
D'Amico had appealed the case IN
court ought not TO consider the IN
dictment and conviction.

The local boys are more interested
in fishing now than in the baseball
outlook The boys will not get to-
gethor for some time yet, but will be
out i'm full force later in the season.
From present indications the Port
Penners will line up about as last
years team. although there may ho
several changes. II tho Delaware City
team gets under way, Il is likely that
several OF Port Penns team Of last
year will be seen cavorting about
on Delaware City grounds.
Port Penns pitching force should
perform well this season, considering
the showing made last year. II IS eX-
pected that 3. Yearslley Dyer and
Johnson will be called on TO perform
on the rubber mound this year.
In spite OF the fine record made by
the "Ffshtown" boys last year. they
are going to enter this year 20 beat
that excellent record. The locals were
considered among the best in the
county last year, and they want to
be held in better esteem than that.
The local diamond will be IN fine
shape this year. Good care has been
taken OF it and it should be better
than ever.
The local management would like
10 get in touch with first class teams
10 arrange games for the coming sea-
son. Last years schedule was a
strong one and IL is hoped TO have
better one this year.
Great things are expected this sea-
son on account OF practically the

their way 10 prominence, and this
will be duplicted the coming season.

The chin is a one-story adj

 The German policy of giving prison. CTS poor and scanty rations is to be counteracted by shipping food parcels to American prisoners. Each will con tain a postcard, to be signed as re- aeipt and returned, as means of mak- ing sure the Americans get the aid in tended for them.
 These packages will contain ten pounds of meat a quantity of butter.
 jam, coffee or tea, salt. rice and dried food. The parcels will be sent three times in a fortnight Arrangements 1lso have been made permitting send ing clothing. money and lette~s from the families in this country of men taken prisoners.
