can send It's agents into any other county
IN the state 10 solicit orders without being
adJ1dgsi guilty OF violating the license
laws
This decision was rendered yesterday ~
Superior Judge Frank T. Reed. OF Kitsap
county. in the case Of the State against
William Han OF Seattle. II has been ca
ser.y awaited by al the liquor dealers Of
the slate as tending 10 ses,le, temporarily
al least. long mooted question.
* mas been 4 practice Of some CT the
wholesale liquor dealers OF Seattle TO send
their statesmen into other counties 10 solicit
trade The agents would 20 20 the different
towns and take orders. not only from deal
ers but also from individuals. These or
dsFs would then be sent back to Seattle
and filed directly from the home house.
Tais class Of trade applied specially "a
kltsap county and for certain reasons thaS
aro considered as combining 10 make an
open secret the question OF whether the
Law was being violated. Il was conteuded
both at Port Blakeley and Port Gamble.
where the profits from the sale Of liquor
amount to considera ble that IL i man
came over from Seattle and took an order
for jug OF whisky. he was selling that
Ilq0of without 4 ucGfSe. IULS condition or
affairs existed until some tne ago when
William Han. a travelling salesman for a
Seattle liquor firm. was arrested for sell
INK liquor at Port Biakeley without a IL
cense. \ jury was waived and the case
went before Superior Judge Reed on a
statement OF facts agreed TO by Prosecut-
ing Attorney Yakey, Of kitsap county. and
Attorney J. Henry Denning, representing
Hail. The case was argued before Judge
Reed several weeks ago.
In presenting the defendants side OF the
case. Attorney Denning took the position
that Mr.. Hill being an agent Of a duly Il
cenSed liquor dealer in King county, had
the right 10 solicit orders and deliver goods
in any other county in the state. provided
the legal sals took place In King county.
Prosecuting Attorney Yakey contended
that unless the defendant or his principals
had license from the authorities of Kit
sap county. they had no right to sell liquor
In that county in any manner.
In his decision Judge Reed holds tina. the
license which was issued TO the firm repre-
scented by Hall entities them 10 send their
agent and 10 sell their goods in any other
county in the state IL will be seen that
the decision practically takes the position
that The actual sale takes place al the
liquor house in King county and not at the
time the agent receives an order from a
purchaser.
II is anticipated that the case will be
taken to the supreme court by the state.
Even If the state did not care to go to the
expense there are interests in kitsap coun-
II which would gladly put up the money
fer the appeal. as their business is injured
through the sale by Seattle houses of CON-
paratIVely small orders To individuals.
