Decision Affecting Kansas Prolibi-
ton Law.

Tope ka, Kan, Dec. p The Gu
forcement of the prohibitory liquor
law is made much more difficult by a
decision rendered by the Kansas
court Of appeals yesterdayin tie case
Of the State against Edward Tinon.
Timon was convicted in the lower
court on four counts, charging him
with violation of the law in selling
liquor withouta 4 permit. Timon opera
ted a drinking club, and con;ended
that the prosecution should have
been or the section relating to the
maintenance of clubrooms. This con-
tcntion was sustained by the count Of
appeals, which is practically a deci-
sion that person who is running a
club cannot be convicted for the sale
Of liquor.
