The suit was brought to recover rent of plaintiff in error as lessee under a written lease. The lessee was exempt from liability for rent if at any time during the term of the lease, as stated therein, a \u201ccity of Chicago saloon license cannot be obtained for these premises.\u201d It is contended that there was testimony tending to support the defense that one could not be obtained. There was evidence tending to show certain futile efforts to obtain one. But such evidence was unavailing in view of positive evidence by defendant\u2019s own witness and agent to the very contrary of its contention. As no other question is involved, the judgment is affirmed.\nAffirmed.",
