ROGERS Christmas Parcels Show Big Gain Over Number Mailed Year Ago To the Editor of Tha Inquirer: BEVERLY HILLS, Calif, Dec 22. THERE is really not much new under the sun. Thirty-seven years ago, a long-haired young man come riding a day coach out of the West, and said something about, "You can't crucify us on a cross of gold.
Wt want the wreath on our brow to be studded with about sixteen silver ducats, to one gold doubloon." In the meantime, silver was used as the sole medium of exchange by over three-quarters of the earth's population. With us it was a money, but never official. It just had a slot machine value. So, lying under Arlington's hallowed soil tonight must be a satisfied smile. For it's something to be 37 years ahead of your Government Yours, WILL ROGERS.
(CoCTHaht. 19.13) Of the four petitions before him, Judge Smith granted two, held an- other under consideration and re- fused to Interfere in the last case. Two Win Licenses Ho awarded licenses to Frank Bloch, better known bs Frankle Bradley, proprietor of the Roumanian Inn, now at 1320 Chancellor his restaurant at 4200 Lancaster and to Patrick J. McMenamin for ave. Held for further consideration Is the appeal of Vincent J.
Houll-1 han, who operates the Hudson Cafe, at 32 Armat Germantown. The court dismissed the action brought Michael Kurkowskt, who operates a restaurant at 432 W. Dauphin at. Deputy State Attorney Oeneral v.Wilhelm F. Knaurr appeared at the hearing counsel for the Liquor i Control Board.
He Informed the Court that In each of the four cases board had followed a policy of i refusing licenses to persons or places that had a record for liquor law violations, thus giving the pe 1'tltloners an opportunity to have their reliability decided by the courts. Character Witness Called State Representative Fred C. Gartner, who voted against the Liquor Control act, appeared as attorney for Bradley, calling half a dozen character witnesses for his client. Gartner said that, although lllorh had twice been arrested fol lowing raids on the Roumanian Inn, when it was located at Junier and Locust he had been discharged after a series of hearings. McMenamin was represented by former Assistant District Attorney Maurice J.
Spelser, who summoned about 30 character witnesses. Following liquor violation charges against McMenamin's Restaurant in 1928 and 1929, when a partial padlock was granted against his place, there were no more complaints against either McMenamin or his restaurant, the hearing brought out. Gerinantown Raids Recalled Houlihan's difficulties date back to the period between 1924 and when his home at 236 E. Rit-trn house Germantown, was raided on 14 occasions and liquor seized. The house was padlocked on June 22, 1931.
Houlihan told the Court he had not violated the law since the padlock and added that no violations have taken place In the Hudson Cafe. His case was held in abeyance. Judge Smith did not take long to decide agnlnst the Kurkowskt petition, after it was revealed that, between 1925 and 1932,. there had been 38 seizures of liquor at the restaurant. The place was padlocked for one year on March 15, 1932.
Counsel for Kurkowski said he would appeal the ruling to the Appellate Courts. 25-OUNCEJABY BORN A miniature baby girl was born In Jefferson Hospital at 11.15 A. M. yesterday. She Is scarcely one-fifth the size of the usual baby at birth, weighing only 25 ounces.
