BOORS NOT GOOD EVIDENCE
Fropopition Advanced in Connection
with License Protests ,
LICENSE BOARD REACHES A CONCLUSION
Dcclilc * Hint ( lie Word of Mr. IIHch-
Cock nnil llln Circulator IN Itcl-
tcr Tluin. ihp IlnokH of
I I i the Ciirrlcra. ,
t 'At 10 o'clock yesterday inomfng the Fire ana
Pollco commission rcaumoi the bearing on
the protest agalnit granting a liquor llconso
to tlio Kitchen Brothers' Hotel company.
Members ot the board held that they were
not ready to pass on the offer of Attorney
JvtcCulloch , who lost night proposed that
the bearing ho conducted along the linen
governing such cases during the year 1898.
It "was decided that circulation books arc
not tbo heat evidence on which to base state
ments ofcirculation. .
On the convening of the board Member
Gregory said that the rules of a former board
could not ibo held as establishing anything
as to how the present board should conduct
Its business , thereupon Gilbert M , Hitch
cock of the World-Herald insisted that the
rules followed In the Plnzenshnm case , a case
parsed upon two years ago , should govern at
this tlmo. 'Ho ' wanted to show that both
editions ot his paper constituted ono pub-
llcutlon.
Attorney McCulloch for Mr. Hitchcock
xirgcd that all of the edltlcos of the World-
Herald constituted ono publication and that
the board should take judicial notice ot 4hls
statement.
E. W. Slmcral , for the protcstant , said that
if the introduction of testimony was allowed
and If he was not tied up by the rules ot some
former Board , ho proposed to show that The
Dee nad the largest circulation In Douglas
county and that the World-Horald had tbo
least. The Issues ho contended were not
the oirno as In the Plnzensham case.
Getting down to business , air. Hitchcock
, T\as called to the witness stand on cross-
examination and was shown bids submitted
by him -which ho asked fcr the city print
ing in 189G. In tboso bids ho offered to print
the city advertisements In the Morning
World-Herald at a certain price and In the
Evening World-Herald at another prltc ,
showing that ho considered < the two papers
separate and distinct publications.
The records of the board , relative to the
resolution tn which Judge Kejsor Issued an
Injunction , wcro offered and accepted over
the objections of Sir. Slmcral , who Insisted
that the members were prohibited from re
ferring to the matter to which It related.
Ho said that to refer to this resolution was a
direct violation of the order of the court.
Member Gregory became quite angry when
3Mr. Slmeral touched upon , the Injunction
matter and Intimated that the board \\as
capable of proceeding to take care of the
powers with which it was clothed.
RESOLUTION DEOIDCD HIM. '
Having disposed ot all of the preliminaries ,
llalph Kitchen ot the Kitchen Brothers'
Hotel company was called by the defense
and testified as to good faith In placing his
application for a liquor license In the World-
Herald. Ho" had heard people say that the
circulation of The Dec was much larger
than that ot the World-IIciald , but the reso
lution of the board had settled the matter
In bis mind and ho had placed his adver
tisement accordingly. He knew that the
sales of The Uee at the Paxton hotel newo
Bland1 exceeded those of the World-Herald ,
but tl-at fact was not taken Into considera
tion. If ho had not read the resolution , pub
Be. lished In the World-Herald he did not know
fr f wlitro howould have placed his ndvertUn- :
jnent.
Thomas E. Harmon , circulator for the
.World-Herald , was upon the stand moat of
the iforcnoon. On direct examination ha
teatlnod that during the first slxteca dajs of
December the average circulation of the
iWorld-Herald lo Doughs county averaged
9,320. including counter , street and ncwa
stand eales.
When cross-examined , the witness could
not toll liow many of the subscribers took
the Evening and how many took the Morn
ing World-Ulcrald.
fllr. tMcCulloch objected to this line ot
testimony , but Member Gregory ruled that
Jt should ! go In , as It was the only -way of
reaching any Idea of the circulation of the
paper ,
night hero Mr. Hitchcock raised a protest
flnd contended that 'tho ' attorney for the
contestant had no right to go Into this mat
ter.
ter.Thowitness
Tho-witness asked If hewould produce
the books of subscription of the World-
Herald , and after looking at Mr. 'Hitchcock '
for tha purpose of ascertaining how ho should
ansner , ho Bald ho could produce the books.
Before another question -was propounded ! ,
Mr. illltchcock was on his feet to protest
against the circulation books being brought
before the board , contending that they wcro
not primary evidence.
Circulator Harmon could not toll how many
Df tbo morning papers were delivered , simply
for the reason that ho did not Keep separate
*
j accounts and for the further reason that
J ' many of the dellvqry routes were sold to the
. carriers , who alone were responsible for the
J-r papers sold and EO delivered to subscribers.
Then there were counter and news stand sales
and all of these wore bunched to make a cir
culation of 9,320 la Douglas county.
GCTTINQ HIM CORNERED.
In answer to a question by Mayor Mopres ,
chairman ot the board , Mr. Harmon said that
the night clerk looked after the circulation ot
Ibo Morning World-Herald , turning In slips
showing how many papers went out for de
livery.
Again Mr. Hitchcock objected to the cross ,
examination ot the -witness , insisting that
3io was being asked questions that were Im
proper on cross-examination. Member
t Gregory , however , held that the questions
were legitimate and the examination pro
r ceeded.
Asked about the separate and distinct circu
® " E lation of the Morning and the Evening World-
1s Ilcrald In Douglas county , Circulator Har-
mon Raid that the best bo could do would
bo to make a guess. Guessing , bo said
that the Bvcntug World-Herald had a circu
lation of about 0,500 and that the Morning
jWorld-Hcrald had about 3,000. This In
cluded the papers dclUcrcd to tbo carriers
and to the nons stands. Witness said that
the total clrcuatlon In November. Including
r. the papers Oclvored to the nous stands and
these delivered to subscribers , aggregated
0,230. How many of these -wore non-paying
eubscrlbcra ho could not say , though ho knew
that there wcro somo.
At this point In the proceedings Mr. Slm
eral asked that the witness produce the
route booUs of the World-Herald , ibut Mom-
bora Gregory and Herdmaa did not think
that they wcro necessary' to establish the
question of legitimate circulation. Mayor
Sloores held that they were , but ho was
outvoted , as neither Members Dullard nor
I'eabody recorded a vote for or against tha
.question.
| WOULD ACCRPT 1SOG HUCOUDS.
' In opening the afternoon session of the
hoard of Fire and Pollco Commissioners
Member Gregory announced that the boarA
bad had under consideration the motion made
by Attorney McCulloch Hie day previous In
connection with the Introduction of the rec-
orris of the board of 1S9C , and had decided
that they might ho admitted In evldcnco.
Attorney Slmeral moved that ono of the
carrier's books of tha World-Herald ba In
troduced In evidence , but Member Gregory ,
acting in behalf of three members of the
board overruled U. 0. M. Jll'chioelc was re
called to the chair and to questions put to
lilm 1 > y uU attorney fiivo the loiatlcim ot
Olio Dee and World-Herald ofllcca and at
tempted to show that the World-Herald
ofllco was moru advantageously situated tnan
the former and shouliKthercforo rucjlve the
Ercur patronage ,
Dnlgbt Williams of Tlio Dee circulation
department was recalled to the witness stand
end tcfitifleil that the number of Tbo Dee's
eubtcrlbera during the month ot Decembsr
bad boon 11,087. At thh point a genera )
discussion of the caio on tilal was Informally
; iailoir \ tbo board , an1 Member Gregory
that when a iltcUloa wab reached la
o Kitchen case that tlio verJlct servo In all
o other protest cafes' brought by Tfio Dct ,
. . JTlta taotloa was objacted to Ivy AUariuy
fHworal and did not go to vote.
Tlio arguments by tha attorneys were tVn
< la order and wcro opened by Attorney Slmoral
M Malt ot the prottiUut. , lie uaU tbo
\
caeo In point was very clear of understand'
Ing. Hw&n merely n. question ot whether
II the no-called editions , or correctly speak
ing , papers published under the Jicnds of
" World-Herald " "EvcnlnR
the "Morning - ,
World-Herald , " "Sunday World-Herald , "
and several others should bo accepted bj
the board as being but ono piper. Numerous
Instances wcro cited In which opinions
handed down by the nuprcmo coilrt Bald
that there wcro thrco tests In deciding such
a question. First , that any publication using
different news matter than that of another
became a publication In Itself. Second , that
any publication reaching n different set ot
subscribers than others published by the
Bnmo tntabllshtncnt should bo considered an
Independent publication and thirdly that the
nnmo of n publication established Its Iden
tity.
HAVE MTTLE IN COMMON.
Mr. Slmcral showed that the Morning
World-Herald and the Uvcnlng World-Herald
wcro to all .Intents and putposcs separate
nowsrapcrs , that tha news matter , the ad
vertisements and name wcro not common to
both , and that they wcro In reality , al-
thouch nubllshcd bv t'lo one establishment ,
different lourrals. Ho argued therefore Wat
It was the height ot unfairness should the
combined circulation of halt a dozen papers
bo placed in competition with the circulation
of The Evening Bee , a single publication. U
had been clearly shown In the evidence ad
duced that the circulation of Tao Evening
Dee has nearly twice the bona fldo number
of subscribers of cither the Morning World-
Herald ot the Evening World-Herald cr the
Sunday World-Herald. In conclusion , At
torney Slmcral asked but ft fair verdict at
the hands of the board , pnd assured them
that In event of such being given he would
have no cause for complaint.
Attorney McCulloch undertook the orgu-
ment on behalf of the World-Herald. He
opened vvhti a general denial ot all the facts
shown In the evidence , and In the state
ments made by Attorney Slmcral. Ho main
tained that the different sheets published by
the World-Herald Publishing company were
but a E'cmlo nowccapor , and as such should
bo recognized as having the largest circula
tion. Ho admitted that the Herald had atone
ono time been n morning piper , also that
the World had been Issued In the evening ,
but denied that they still preserved their
Identities as morning and evening journals ,
In splttf ot the fact that they appeared under
different names and were read by different
subscribers. Following along this line of ar
gument the attorney for the defense cited
the actlcci ot former hoards In an effort to
Influence the present body In Its decision.
CLOSING THC CASE.
In his closing argument Attorney Slmcral
pointed out the Individuality of the papers
nubllshcd by tha World Publishing company
in the uncontradlcted statement that ono so-
called edition of the publication contained
but CO per cent ot the matter which was
used In the one preceding1 or following It.
When the arguments had been completed
JudRo Gregory on behalf of three ol the
board brought up the question as to whether
a decision in the case under trial should bo
used as n verdict by which all the othern
protested by The Bee should be decided or
not. His motion was again objected to by
Attorney Slmcral , who stood firm upon the
grounds that each coso should in justice bo
Given the attention ot the board. The mo
tion was lost , and the board then went into
executive session for a few minutes , re-
rppcarlng with the announcement that a de
cision In the Kitchen case would be rendered
this morning at 10 o'clock.
