BUCK HOTEL License
Not Fit Person TO Hold IT,
Court Rules; Case TO be
Appealed
RIGHT OF JUDGES TO
REVOKE QUESTIONED

Frank c. Pierce, Jr, proprietor OF
the Buck Hotel at Summit Bridge
had his license to sell intoxicating
liquors revoked by the Court Of Cen
eral Sessions this morning on the
ground that the evidence showed him
not 10 be a proper person TO hold a
liquor license. In making this deci-
sion which was announced by Chief
Justice Pennewill, the court took the
position that as it has discretion in
granting the license. so the court has
discretion to decide whether there Is
sufficient misconduct on the part OF
the licensee. after the license has been
granted. TO warrant the court in re-
voking such license and holding that
where such conduct IS found to exist
the courts duty Is 10 revoke the IL
cense.
The court, after a question by James
Salisbury. counsel for Pierce, as to
Pierces rights pending appeal ruled
that the revocation becomes effective
az once and that the saloon must re-
main closed until different action is
ordered.
In announcing the courts decision,
/ the Chief Justice stated the liquors
laws contemplate that a licensee
should be OF good moral character
and a person OF sohriety II 10 ia
shown that the licensee is not OF good
moral character or not a person OF
sobriety, then il Is the duty OF the
court 10 revoke the license.
After stating that the evidence
showed that Pierce has pleaded guilty
to a charge OF assault in running
down and killing a man last winter
and had recently paid a fine before
a Middleiown justice Of the peace for
operating an automobile while IN an
intoxicated condition. the court an
nounced the revocation OF the lie
license.
Mr.. Salisbury. for Mr.. Pierce. ask
ed that exceptions be noted for the
defence. He asked for time 70 pre-
pare an appeal and he made a mo
tion In arrest Of judgment
For the defense Mr. Salisbury Of
fered no evidence but asked the dis
missal OF the rule on Pierce TO show
cause why his license should not be
revoked He claimed that the court
had no jurisdiction inasmuch as the
cause for which the rule was asked
was not one of the reasons set out in
the statutes for a revocation.
Caleb f. Burchenal for the Law
and Order Society claimed that thu
court had power 10 revoke a hcans
at any time that the court in its dis
! erection thought the license should b
4 revoked.

EXPERT FINDS ACOUSTICS
OF court ROOM POOR

Following tests made yesterday and
this morning OF the acoustics in No.
court room. W. r. c. Rowan. Of Pitts
hurgh, Pa. who made the tests. an
ounced that the acoustics OF the
room are so faulty that the duration
Of sound is eight and one-half seconds
Mr. Rowan says that IL acoustic con-
0luons IN the room were normal, the
sound duration should not be over one
and one-half seconds, and says that
this wide difference between the ac-
tual sound duration OF eight and one
half seconds and the one and one-half
seconds duration, which Il should be
under normal conditions. Is responsible
for the difficulties which witnesses
and lawyers encounter In making
themselves heard while in the court
room.
Mr. Rowan says that this condition
can be remedied by the uso of n sound
absorbent material. which Is put on
the walls and ceilings without in any
way changing the outlines OF the
room.
MIR. Rowan also made a test Of The
acoustic properties of No 2 court room
and stated that as far as he has beer
able TO determine the sound duration IN
that court room is about normal
