CHICAGO, May 14.-The Tribune pablishes
kilograms from all parts of Iowa giving &C
counts of the effect of the recent decision of
the supreme court on the selling of liquor.
The following are from some of the more
important towns:
MARsHALLTowN, h.-There are two places
In this city where original packages of liquor
are sold openly. -Four others will be opened
the first of the week. The liquor men ex-
press themselves as believing that the bust
ness will be overdone in short time.
Iowa CRY, 1.-The effect of the original
package decision is to make saloon men here
more bold. Heretofore the places that have
been selling liquor have been side door sa-
looms, but now most of the saloonkeepers
will become agents for foreign dealers and
will sell more openly. Representatives of
breweries from other states are coming here
TO make arrangements to open agencies.
Dies MONIES, IA.-Des Moines liquor deal
crs have been rather slow about going into
business under the recent supreme court de-
cision relative to the interstate shipments of
liquor, permitting their sale at the destina
ton in original packages, because of the
trouble anticipated from fee hunting search
=.
held off to see Just what Interpretation would
be given the decision. Two package houses,
as they are called, are now in operation.
The proprietOrs are agents for leading brew
ers. The beer is sold by the case, fourth and
full kegs. These can be obtained at the
package house, or are delivered to any part
of the city without attempt at secrecy. Sup
plies for three other houses are now in the
city, and they will be in full operation within
day or two, and still others will follow.
Sioux CITY, M.-There are eight or ten
saloons already opened up under guise of
selling original packages, and the number
is being increased almost daily. At least a
dozen rooms have been leased for original
package saloons, but not yet opened for bust
ness. Beer is kept on tap and whisky sold
by the drink over the bar precisely the same
rs in license saloons. The only places in
which the form of selling original packages
is complied with is in some of the drug stores
and wholesale liquor houses. The two lead
ing hotels here are preparing to fit I'D bars
in offices from which liquor in original pack
ages will be sold to guests and all corners.
CREsToN, h.-The recent original package
decision has caused but little comment here. |
Two or more wholesale houses will be opened |
Tor the distribution of liquor, one the branch |
IF st. Louis and the other a Chicago firm. !
As matter of fact the decision will make |
title difference with liquor men, as the pro-
81 law is and has been totally disre-
,arded for the last three years, and was not
uccessfuIly enforced prior 70 Or 1nss Az time,

has tended to unmask many of the saloons,
and they are doing business now with moro
freedom than formerly. Various parties are
arranging to represent outside liquor insti-
utions.
