May Term.
Before taking up for action at the
/ lopening of the May term Of court
Tuesday large number Of applica-
tions for renewals Of liquor licenses
/ Judge Lawrence remarked that he
! felt that he had not had entire rec
4 liprocity ON the part of the liquor
dealers. In many cases liquor deal
ers are their own worst enemies, he
said bringing upon themselves much
+ of the troubles which they are heir
to- The court said that he could not
understand, for instance why some
bar tenders could not tell an intoAi-
Gated man as veil as other people,
but he wanted hotel men TO under
stand that he would hold them re-
sponsible for the acts of their agents
in selling liquor to intoxicated per-
sons.
Some liquor dealers, he said, re-
sorted to the subterfuge of selling
liquors in odd size bottles when the
court last year laid down a rule that
the sale of liquor in pint and half
pint bottles must cease, and he pro.
posed TO discipline them for it
Later IN acting upon the appliea-
tions he held up renewals of seven
licenses until to-day Thursday and
laid over six for one week, but four
of these were applications for new
licenses. Renewal of one license was
refused that of Edward Banks,
colored, for the Park hotel at Long
Branch. Banks was recently con
victed of an assault and battery
charge.
The licenses, action on the applica-
tions for renewals of which were de-
ferred until Thursday, are those of
Mary G. Dunn for Ferns hotel at
Long Branch, Hannah Dipple for the
Sea Bright inn, August Dasener for
the American hotel at Ere ehold,
Michael Welsh for the Wolcott hotel
at Freehold, Joseph E. Murphy for
the Bridge Water Inn at Pleasure
Bay, and Elizabeth Nj. Murphy and
Annie ID. Flanagan in separate APP
plieations for renewal OF the license
for The Camp at Long Branch.
Those laid over for one week in
clude the new applications of Rubin
Mailer for a wholesale license at
Keansburg; James F. Leonard for
The Beacon at Highlands; John d.
Campbell, Peninsula hotel. Sea
Bright. and Brantley r. Hayes,
Greenland hotel at Waterwitch
The application of Leonard Padula
for renewal of license for the Mon
mouth Beach Inn was laid over for
investigation of certain conditions,
and that of Joseph Steinberg for the,
Willow Glen hotel at Locust because
of a remonstrance filed against it.
The application of Daisy Gordon for
license for the Holmdel inn, Ohm
del. was laid over until next Tues
day.
In granting a renewal of the license
for Scotty's, at Neptune City, the
court struck from the application
the name of Martin Ruhlman, whose
name appeared on the petition with
that of Bart j. McDonough, and the
license was granted to MeDonough.
Judge Lawrence said that Mr. Ruhl-
man was but recently naturalized
and that during the naturalization
proceedings it was suggested that
isahlman's purpose in becoming
naTuralized citizen was TO obtain
liquor license and he would not be a
parry to making it appear that this
were true. Renewals were granted
137 licenses, but before granting the
iiceIlsS ISllSM walls y uQ56 La N1CuGC
