cause People of Town Object
ed To His Place.
The application of H. F. Hinman
for renewal of his saloon license at
McCarthy, Alaska, was refused by
Judge Brown this morning and Hin
man will have to close his saloon
tomorrow when his present license
expires.
This license was refused upon two
grounds, first the majority of the
people at McCarthy are opposed to
saloons in their town, and second as
Hinman has been selling liquor to
men when in an intoxicated condi
tion.
It is understood that the authori
ties are going to refuse licenses to
all saloons in the district where they
have knowledge of liquor being sold
to men under the influence of liquor.

BECKER TO ASK
FOR NEW TRIAL
Negro Reported To Have Confessed
That He Offered False Testi
mony During Trial.
NEW YORK, Feb. 17.—Counsel for
Lieut. Becker, former New York po
lice officer, who was saved by re
prieve from going jto the electric
chair when four of his supposed ac
complices were electrocuted for the
murder of Gambler Rosenthal, will
seek a retrial for their client.
Becker’s counsel will base their ar
guments for a new trial on the con
fession of a negro, that during the
trial which resulted in the conviction
of Becker that he offered false evi
dence.
It is generally believed here that
Becker will never be permitted to go
to the electric chair, as he might, in
revenge, tell of the Inner workings
of the system of graft which would
expose the higher-ups which the au
thorities have been endeavoring to
uncover without success.
