IOWA STATE NEWS.
VICTORY FOR AGENTS.
to Restrain Express COmpn lees
from Carrying Liquor.

Judge A. r. Dewey, of the Sixth jul
dicial district, handed down decision
in Washington refusing to grant the
injunction prayed for by the Temper
ance league to restrain express COM
panies from carrying liquor inso the
state.
The decision was another case of the
local temperance society, who had
seized liquors shipped by the Adams
and United States express companies
and filed suits against them, charging
their agents with being retail liquor
dealers because they collected for
liquor
The defense claimed the sales were
made in Illinois, Kentucky and else
where, and that the goods were in
transit under the interstate commerce
law. The liquor, it is claimed, was
shipped from Davenport into Illinois
and from there to Washington.
Judge Dewey refused the injunction,
holding the liquor to be a legitimate
article OF commerce under decisions
OF the supreme court. The decision is
OF great Importance to transportation
companies in Iowa. The temperance
people are expected to take the case
higher.
