There was a great change In llduor license, court this year Compared with previous years, and the crowds and confusion attendant on the hearing of liquor license applications vera notably absent. The chaste for the better Is due to the rule ot court adopted for this year 10 which applicants for new liquor license, against whom there was no remonstrance, are simply asked to appear with their attorneys, present their petitions and affidavits for necessity and answer a few questions. In previous years each applicant had to be accompanied by two witnesses who would vouch for his character and all were questioned more or less as to the necessity for the places. The change this year eliminated the crowds and confusion and permitted the Judges to proceed in a dignified' and orderly manner, and with more satisfaction to all concerned. Applicants from the lower end ot the cVun-ty.

against whom there was no re monstrances, were heard yesterday, and similar applicants from other seetions will -be heard dally f6r the remainder of this week. Next week is set apart for new and old. applicants remonstrances have been filled, and the hearings premise to be more inter- eating. fOUK JUDOBS ON BENCH At the opening of license "court yesterday Judges Puller, Garman, Btrauss and O'Boyle were on the 'bench sitting as a court in banc. The former called the names of the applicants and the other three took notes and questioned the applicants, One requlfemeht that aroused some curiosity and comment was that each applicant for a license was requested to write hie name on a sheet of paper.

It Is suspected that this H'st will be used by the Judges to verify the signature of the applicants' with the signatures on their petitions and affl davits. Although nearly 250 remonstrance! "have been filed against toSw liquor licenses, sixty such applicants, against whom- no remonstrance were, filed, appeared before the court yesterday.
