HOP ALE INTOXICATING.
Indiana Liquor Leagues Showing to
State Agricultural Board.

The Indiana Liquor League, through it's
representatives, are at work with the State
Board of Agriculture to prevent the sale Of
all kinds of liquor by unlicensed saloonists
within a radius of the jurisdiction of the
board. The members of the board have
been undecided as to their right under the
law until the liquor league representatives
pointed it out to them. The matter which
perplexed the fair officials was the ques-
ton of whether the sale of hop ale'' came
under the provisions of the law governing
the case. The liquor people, however.
showed by letters from the brewers that
there is none of the so-called HOP ale''
but what is intoxicating, the weakest of it
containing per cent. of alcohol. The liquor
people say that the legitimate saloonists
pay a heavy license for the privilege of
selling their goods, and should be protected
against itinerant vendors. The last Legis-
lature passed a law governing the matter,
and in a recent decision Judge Hackney,
of the Supreme bench, held that the law
prohibited the sale of all malt. vinous or
spurious liquors by any person unless sup
piled with city, county and state license.
A United States government license does not
protect sellers of such drinks from arrest
and prosecution, and the liquor league is
prepared to show by. the brewers them
selves that hop ale" is in fact nothing
but malt drink in the strictest sense of
the term, and that it is altogether intoxi-
eating, but not to the same degree of other
grades Of beer.
The State Board of Agriculture has the
right to close all unlicensed places where
such drinks are sold within a radius of a
mile of the fair grounds, under a grant
made by the Legislature at the time the
board was organized. The members of the
beard say they are willing and anxious to
close up the Objectionable places. but wish
first to know their rights in the matter
where hop ale is concerned. The liquor
sary to prove that hop ale comes di-
rectly under the head of Intoxicating malt
in closing up the Temperance stands" where
the drink is sold they can safely ignore the
protests of the hop ale'' sellers who claim
they are not selling beer.
