Judge Heine of the municipal court
of st. Paul, maintains that there is no
law prohibiting women from frequent
ing saloons. and consequently has dis
charged without a hearing prisoners
taken before him on that complaint.
The police court justice takes the stand
that both the district and municipal
court have often held that women have
the same right in saloons as men, and
advises the police department that it
is useless to continue arresting women
