INFORMATION FOR BREWERS
AND OTHERS.
Fritz Reuter- Acquitted.

The scope OF the liquor law OF March
q, 1899, which has been a source OF
anxiety to hotel keepers since its pass
age. was determined last week In
decision by Judge Kimball in the trial
Of Fritz Reuter-, charged With violating
the law. In effect, Judge Kimbsll ruled
that the law oil March 3, 1898, the general
liquor law of the District, which permits
the proprietors of licensed hotels to sell
liquor to guests with meals on Sundays,
had not been repealed by the law OF
March }. 1899 The court stated that he
had carefully considered the recent act
and was convinced that it was enacted
to govern the sale of beer on Sundays,
with the direct object Of putting an end
TO the drunkenness and disorder result
ing from the purchase OF kegs and
fractional kegs OF that beverage from
breweries on Sundays; that it was not
directed against nor intended to abTo-
gate the legal right of hotel keepers as
determined in the act Of 1895.
The act provides that it shall not be
lawful "ior any maker, brewer or
dlstiller Of beer or other Intoxicating
liquors in the District Of Columbia or
other person, or corpo ration, or the
agent or servant of such maker brewer
or distilIer of beer or other intoxicating
liquors outside Of the DistricA and other
persons or corporations, to sell or deliver
any beer or other intoxicating liquors IN
the District Of Columbia on Sunday
Upon conviction OF violation such person
is liable to fine OF not less than S25o or
more than $500 for each and every
offerse.
This ruling was made in accepting the
prayer of Attorney Blrney, as follows;
"The jury is instructed the act OF
Congress appro yed March 3, 1890, under
which the information in this case is
filed, applies only to sales or deliveries
OF beer or other Intoxicating liquors on
Sunday by makers, brewers, and distil'
lers, and to the servants and agents,
and to other manufacturers Of intox-
icaung liquors, their servants and
agents, and since IT does not appear by
the evidence that the defendant falls
within any Of these classes Of persons.
he should be acquitted"
After expressing his views upon the
ques ion at issue as above stated, the
court directed the jury to return
verdict OF acquittal. which was accord
ingly done.
It is possible, but mot very probable,
that the Attorney for the District will
seek to bring this same question up Tor
final decision before the Court OF
Appeals. Judge Kimball was widely
on the thoroughly judicial
and totally unprejudiced character OF
his decision in this case.
The hotel keepers, who have been
closed to all the world, so
lar as the sale OF liquor on Sundays has
been concerned, are, by his action in the
Reuter- case, confirmed in the privileges
accorded them by the act Oi 1898

that under the terms OF the peace treaty
all obsolete cannon are to be turned
