Mayor To Get New Warrants for
Arrest of Brewery Agents
Released on Tuesday
BREWERS READY FOR FIGHT
All Elements Opposing the Action of
Brewery Agents To Unite in New
Effort To Get Cases Before
the Supreme Court

Beaten in the first round of his fight
to collect the second license from the
brewery agents alleged to be in both
the retail and wholesale liquor busi-
ness, Mayor German declared last
night that he would not give up
the fight to collect the licenses and
within few days new warrants will
be issued for the arrest of. the men
discharged by the justices on Tuesday
afternoon. When the new warrants
are issued the cases will be fought
with great vigor on the part of the
city and if the district attorney is so,
busy that he is unable to give
plenty of time to the cases the
Mayor will. seek the services
of another attorney in order
that the fasco of Tuesday when the
case was dropped for lack of evidence
and lack of prosecution will not be
repeated. 1t is admitted by the at
torneys for the State that they had
been so busy with other matters that
they had left the matter of getting
the evidence for the prosecution in
the hands of the police and witnesses
were not forthcoming. One of the
principal witnesses for the Mayor was
out of the city and as he rad not been
summoned in the case there was no.
thing to be done but submit the case
without his evidence. The Mayor has
received several opinions from at
torneys in authority in regard to the
question which give him assurance
that under the law the brewery
agents must pay the second license.
All of the elements in the city OPP
posed to the double dealing of the
agents under the single license Will
unite for the new fight. This will
bring a union of the retail liquor
dealers with several of the so-ca11ed
reform societies of the city and when
the sc cond bunch of warrants is is
sued it is pretty certain that there
will be more vigorous fight for the
conviction of the men. It is intima ted
that the new warrants will be issued
by one of the Court commissioners
associates are anxious to have the
cases brought before someone with
wide knowledge of the law.
Mayor German when seen Tuesday
evening said, F'Well, you know how it
is with me. When I start out to do
thing I usually carry it through and I
am going to make those men pay that
license into the city treasury. I am
convinced that IS right that they
should pay it and I will never let up
until it is paid"
No statement has been made as TO
when the new warrants will be issued
for the arrest of the brewery agents
but it is probable that they will be
issued within few days. In the
meantime the attorneys for the brew
cry men are busy and they will be
in readiness to take the case to the
Supreme Court of the state just as
soon as one of their clients is cor
victed of the charge of selling without
license.
Ia the meantime the facts brought
Tuesday have been laid before the
district attorney and it is possible
that warrants will be issued for the
arrest of two of the saloon men whc
virtually admitted that they were do
ing business without a license from
the city.
