I llll.ADF.I.l'HlA POLITICS.
Philadelphia, Jan. Hi. With the re
organization of the Itcpuhlican city
committee yesterday the complete vic-tory
of the Quay-Penrosa element in
the Hepubllcan party of this city was
forcibly expressed. The will of the
Republican voters was Indicated at the
primary election last Tuesday and the
ward committees elected representa-tives
to the ' ly committee who are In
accord with the stalwart element.
There are 11 wards in this city, and
from all but seven of these wards
friends of the Quay-Pnnrose leadership
were chosen to the eily committee. It
was demonstrated yesterdny that ths
city organisation will hereafter be
overwhelmingly in favor of maintain-ing
the regular Republican organiza-tion
of the state, of which (ieneral
Frank Recder Is chairman, and which
sustains the administration of Qov-ernor
William A. Stone and will sup-port
Quay and Penrose in national
politics. All of the ten delegates elect-ed
In this city to the Kepubllcan na-tional
convention will co-operate with
the state organization, as even the one
delegate picked out by Martin M in
Ufacturer ltromley. Is a stalwart Re-publican.
Republicans of Philadelphia do not
appear to be eager to help Martin get
back al Quay, nor do Ihey seem to
grots wildly enthusiastic over Wana-maker's
ambition, regardless of ex-pense,
to shine as a memlier of the

It is one which is very necessary, as

the hotel license ot Unbelt Gordon, of
the Wheel Pump Hotel, near Chestnut
Hill. The matter arises on the appli-cation
of a number of citizens of Chest
nut Hill and vicinity asking that the
license lie revoked because of alleged
violation! nf the law.
The opinion Is written by Judge
BwartS, and is concurred In by Judge
Weanil. The court refers to the fact
that the hotel is situated opposite the
Chestnut Hill Park; thai large num-bers
of the patrons of the Park go to
tin hotel and create noises and dis-turbances
on the trolley cars on the
return trip to Philadelphia; that large
numbers of persons, Including minors,
congregate in an adjoining pavilion
white drink and music are dnlh and
nightly dispensed.
The OOUri says: "After a careful
examination and consideration of the
seven hundred pages of testimony sub-mitted,
we reach the following conclu-sions:
First That the respondent rold
malt and brewed liquors to minors
Secondly. That splritous and malt
liquors were furnished by him to per-sons
visibly affected by intoxicating
drinks.
Thirdly. That the respondent kepi
a beer garden where music was fur-nishid
free as an attraction to draw
a drinking custom; where minors,boys
and girls at times found admission,
and where disorderly, drunken per-sons
congregated."
The testimony Is discussed fully and
It Is shown that the conclusions reach
ed are fortified by witnesses called by
the respondent. Mr. Cordon.
Al to the responsibility of the land-lord,
the law Is laid down to be that
"unless the minors were served know-ingly
or negligently the proprietor of
the house cannot be convicted of a vi-olation
of the law, but the burden la
placed upon him to show that he did
not furnish the liquor knowingly nor
negligently If alleged sales occur
from time to time It Is his duly to
know of the violations. We must look
io him snd alone for the proper con-duct
of his house. • • • We are
of the opinion that the business, as
conducted, was Illegal, and therefore
the proprietor Is responsible for the
sales to the minors."
The character of "the place as a
heer garden with free music to attract
1 drinking custom" was discuss I in
rather vigorous language, and the fact
was shown by his own Witnesses
The court further says: "When W(
add to this evidence the proofs of dis-order,
noise, singing ami dancing, the
frequent necessity to eject from the
pavlllion drunken and disorderly per-sons.
Hie presence of drunken men
sealed at the tables, the conviction
must follow that Oorden kept a beer
garden with free music and a garden
that was no exception to the rule that
concert gardens are a menace to peace
and good order and demoralizing to
the persons who frequent thi m.
"As already slated, the respondent
has violated the law by sales to minors
sales to persons visibly affected by In-toxicating
drink and by keeping a beer
garden with free music whereby he de-stroys
the peace nnd good order of the
neighborhood and corrupts the morals
of many who enter the place.
