Dcs Moines Justice Renders a De-
cision Affecting Saloonk eepers.
Dies Moines, Feb IA Des Afoines
Justice of the peace has decided that the
civil rights clause of the constitution:
guaranteeing the same rights to the
black man that are accorded to the
white man does not apply in the case of
an Iowa mulct saloon. A saloon Keeper,
c. Hansen, was sued for not selling a
drink of liquor to negro. He had re-
fused because the man was aAnegru and
the saloon keepers have objected to ne
groes frequenting the saloons. They
desired that this should be ties. case
T to determine whether they have right
to refuse to sell liquor to- any one. The
| justice decided that the saloon Keeper
was not liza BILE for prosecution by reason
/ of this refusal.
The sale of Intoxicating liquors in
the state is Illegal the justice decided,
and every sale of j. C. Hansen. the
defendant. is Illegal. SO declared by the
lsstatutes and the supreme court of the
state, but he is not prosecuted under
1.-The mulct law. The law is fearfully and
wonderfully made, but 1T has never yet
I shown symptoms Of such idiocy as to
allow a man to be prosecuted for the
refusal to sell.
Inasmuch as all are illegal and all
that the consent petitions do is to re-
llieve the saloon men from the ordinary
penalties of violation of the prohibitory
law, the prosecuting witness had no
rights in the case.
| The decision Is regarded as of consid-
cradle interest by the saloon men, as it
gives them authority TO make distinc-
lstions between their customers, much to
their profit.

great sensation by the state papers last

and all the agitation about the case
proves to have been nothing greater
than a tempest in a teapot.
Judge Withrow took up the case
aginst Stone yesterday and after a
thorough investigation of the whole
matter, discharged the defendant as be-
ing mentally incapable iof forming a
criminal intent and hence not resppn-
sble for the action complained of in the
indictment.
