NO LIQUOR LAW DECISION
Supreme Court Delays in Answering Important
Question.

Montpelier, Oct. 25.-Supreme court
did not today render decision on
cases touching the constitutionality of
the liquor law enacted by the legis-
lature of 1902, contrary to the general
expectation. The decision may come
in few days and it may not come for
a longer time.
The cases in question are, State vs.
Haselton of Bradford and
State VS. Scampini and State VS. Fan
leoni of Barre. The first case touches
the constitutionality of the law on the
"cider section" while the arguments by
the defense in the two Barre cases were
on the unconstitutional lily of the twelve,
sections, although the main contention
was over the rights of wholesalers to-
sell intoxicating liquors. The first
case has been with the supreme court
for about a year.
