old-Time Crowd Laughs as
Hundrd Persons Ask Sa-
loon Permits
MANY TRANSFERS SOUGHT


An old -time License Court crowd
buzzed and clamored and laughed to
day in Room 2s5 City Hall. where
Judges Ferguson and Rogers held the
second session OF the court since its
opening in March to hear applications
for transfers of retail licenses. mostly
from present holders to proposed new
owners. A few desired changes in To-
cation. One remonstrsnce was made
and one rule to revoke asked.
There were about one hundred peti
ions before the court, drawing q crowd
OF several hundred persons that filled
the chamber and ran out into the cor :
ridor. Despite the prohibition law.
optimism was expressed on many sides
and the avidity with which some of the
applicants sought to embark in the
liquor business on their own beha,
showed that hope springs eternal In
the human breast"
While there we're dozen death
cases" before the Court, q facetious at
torney observed that this fact did no.
necessarily mean that the liquor busi-
ness was dead in this city. These ap.
plications were for the substitution Of
persons to take the licenses left by de.
ceased saloonkeepers. The list included
one bother. Owing to the engagement OF
one Of the judges in another court the
hearings in the License Court were de.
layed for an hour and a quarter.
