HARD ON THE SALOONS.

Judge Holmes Renders Nh Important
Decision in the Weber Case.
DIES MONIES. April In the district
court Judge Holmes render cd u dccis-
ion in the case of the state VS.. Weber,
en- action brought to enjoin a saloon,
which, if sustained by the supreme
court. is far reaching. He holds that
under the law it is necessary that
every saloonkecpcr secure Il new
petition of consent from property
owners within fifty feet of the saloon
each year and file it, together with 81
new bond, and that he shall each year
secure from the city council a new res
olntion of consent. Under the decision
every saloon in Des Moines that has
been running !; year or more is run
ming contrary to law, for none of the
saloon men have seen fit to take out
new petitions of consent, new bonds,
ETC., each year and have been running
along on the papers filed when they
first engaged in the business. 1t is
not the intention, however, to take
advantage of the decision to prosecute
the saloonkeepers, for the court. with
consent of the county attorney, has
ordered that the defendant and all
other saloon men be given twenty days
in which to comply with the law, with
the understanding that in that event
no prosecutions will he instituted.
The decision affects every saloon in
every county in the state.
