TUESDAY, FEBRUARY iii, 1903. 4 fi.i.di.A TOR HEADING DAILY AJSTD iJlSPATCIi JtBADlNG, PJEKA'A Tuesday, February 24, isos. LANDLORDS MUST OBEY THE LAWS Some Important tilings Made by the Judges During the Examination of Applications for Licenses Notices Served on Contestants. The hotel landlords and saloonkeepers of the city and county celebrated Washington's birthday In court, it being the day for the anhual hearing of license applications. The court room was crowded with applicants and interested friends.

Judges Ermentrout and Endlich presided. Spread out before the court was a large blue print of Heading, on which a red dot showed the location of each licensed saloon, while a white mark indicated the proposed new places. This was the first time the national colors red, white and blue figured in license court and, as it was a national holiday, it was quite appropriate. There were 4S3 applicants, and it was an all day session. Several applicants did not answer when their names were called.

Judge Endlich said they must be present at license court the public had a right to be present, as it was a matter of interest to them, and the applicants would have to be in court when called, so that the people could hear what was going on. The townships were first gone over. The first landlord called for was H. C. Holder, of Lower Alsace.

He did not answer. The calling of the list of city appli cants did not occupy as much time as in some former years, as only a few of the landlords were called to the stand. In the case of the applicants for new stands, each was called and an attempt made to convince the court of the necessity of another license. With what success the.y met will not be known until the opinion granting licenses is handed down next month. From the questions asked and the comments made by the Court it was evident that the Judges are as familiar with conditions in the city, in many instances, as the applicant himself.

One or two landlords were called and questioned as to the truth of the statement made at the trial of a case in criminal court, last June, that young men, not yet of age, who are engaged in delivering ice, had been furnished with drink. In each case the landlord denied any knowledge of such a thing having occurred. Judge Endlich remarked that ignorance did not excuse; a landlord was held responsible for whatever happens in his place of busi ness, whether he knew of its occurrence or not. One landlord was asked if he did not serve a lunch during certain hours in his place. He replied that he had until some months ago, when he was advised that it was against the rules of the court, and he immediately discontinued it.

Counsel for the landlord informed the Court that he had always conducted a respectable place, to which Sudge Endlich replied: "We know that, but there can be no discrimination in the observance of the law." Where two applicants applied for the same stand, both claiming to hold a lease, the court said the place must be in possession of the rightful tenant before the license application can be considered. Edwin H. Long, of Upper Bern, was called. He is an applicant for th Shartlesville hotel, of which Joseph S. Hix is at present proprietor.

He tended bar at Schuylkill Haven for several years. He is a married man and has read the liquor law. He made satisfactory answers to the court. He was represented by Charles H. Schaeft'er.

Charles N. Kolb was next called. He application for a new stand at Boyertowu, which was formerly the Central House. The court had refused a license on account of not being necessary. He is represented by Harvey F.

Heinly. Before court opened A. K. Stauffer filed a Temonstrance against the granting of a license to Mr. Kolb as not being necessary, which was signed by 82 residents.

The court stated that the applicant should show a change of conditions which would show a necessity for a license, not brought out at the hearing two years ago, so as to avoid the repetition of the former testimony. John G. Sheeler, burgess of Boyer town for three years, was called. He testified that the court refused a license two years ago for want of necessity. There is a necessity now for an additional hotel, as from 25 to 30 new buildings have been put up since, besides several factories.

One of them is the Eisenlohr cigar factory, which employs from ISO to 200 men: Since the completion of the Oley Valley, trolley line there is a demand far hotel accom That Tired Feeling Is a Common Spring Trouble. It's a sign that the blood is deficient in vitality, just as pimples and other eruptions are signs that the blood Is impure. It's a warning, too, which only th hazardous fail to heed.

Boot, Uilead, Conn. Hood's Sarsaparilla promises to cure and keeps the promise. I modations. Before long Boyertown will have the Trappe and Limerick and the Boyertown line to Palm and Kutztown running into the borough. Mr.

Slieeler stated he had since made repairs to the ore mines, which would employ 300 men. The mines had not been worked on account of no men. He said he" had a conversation with the proprietor of the Union House last November, in which he said he was unable to accommodate all the people. The population of the borough is now 1,930, with three hotels, six bars1 and two liquor stores. Mr.

Sheeler says the hotels are insufficient to accommodate all the people. Allen Frey, a cigarmaker, testified that he knew of several people who had applied for boarding places, but had been refused. They had also applied at the hotels and were refused because of lack of accommodation. Many of them left the town. Rufus Keppler and Elam Mellinger, two of the hotelkeepers of Boyertown, testified that their places were full oc casionally, and they could not accom modate the people frequently.

John Sausser, a carpenter, came to Boyertown in September last and had considerable trouble to secure a place. He called at six different places. Mr. Stauffer objected, and asked court not to grant the license. The court replied that they would take the matter into consideration, but intimated that they would not lose sight of the fact of the changed conditions, the recently acquired railroad facilities, besides other important' facts bearing on the necessity for an additional licensed place.

Thonfas D. Zeller, of Bethel, was called, but did not answer. Josiah Reinhart, of Centre township, applied for a license for Schubert's hotel, in Bethel, licensed for over 20 years. He purchased the property recently. T.

L. Brensinger, who applied for a new stand in Cumru, was refused a license, the place be'ing only about a square away from a similar licensed place. Eugene H. Gregory applied for a li cense in Colebrooktlale, a licensed place. Edward W.

Wisler proposes to make some changes to the place. He is a farmer and live stock dealer. Mahlon B. Stitzer and Thomas W. Kieffer both applied for Jicense at the Oley Line hotel, in Exeter, owned by Jacob Snyder.

Both claimed to have leased the place. Kieffer is the present landlord. The court remitted both applications, and said their remedy at law was to recover possession by the right party to the premises. William H. Clouser applied for a license for the Carsonia Park hotel.

He has had 20 years' experience in theho tel business, and worked for C. B. Miller. Lewis H. Hoffman had applied for a hotel in Exeter, but the name of J.

Breidenstein as substituted in a petition filed. This substitution was not made within the time prescribed by law and Judge Endlich took time to inform the attorneys of the decision of the superior court in cases of substitution. The matter will have to be adjusted petition. Henry C. Scheldt, of Kutztown, applied for l.he Three Mile House, in Greenwich! and.

Edwin J. Mattern, of Port Clinton, for the Washington House in the South ward, Hamburg. There was some difficulty in court in the application of John J. Ruth and Jonathan Spatz for the Cacoosing hotel, in Lower Heidelberg. Both claimed to have leased it from Levi J.
