Victory for the Clergymen

New York, 1895

Edward Margolies has decided not to fight the ministers of Whitestone any longer, and will not attempt to open a saloon. The preachers claimed that Margolies was not moral enough to run a saloon. They successfully fought him, and last week the Board of Excise refused to give him license.
