saIoonkeepers Say Ordinance Permits
Them 20 Remain Open.
Chicago, Dec. / Victory for the
Sunday saloon is claimed by the in
terests opposing the crusade for the
enforcement Of the Sunday closing
law.
The claim is based on ruling made
by Judge Fake In the case of Tom
Chamales, owner Of the Savoy cafe
and first saloonkeeper to be tried on
the evidence obtained by the Chicago
Law and Order league. Judge Fake
admitted as evidence for the defense
the city's ordinance passed number
Of years ago permitting saloons TO
remain open on the Sabbath.
This ordinance has been revised
several times, although in direct con-
tradiction to the state law, which
says that the saloons must be closed
on Sunday and which provides for a
maximum fine Of 5000 for its viola
ton. While It Is admitted that city
ordinance cannot be in effect when it
contradicts state law the defense
will seek to show the jury that for
thirty.three years the state law has
been imperative in Chicago and for
that reason it does not apply to the
city
The fact that the city authorities
have never caused the enforcement of
the state law and, in fact, caused an
ordinance to be passed In an attempt
to nullify that law is expected by the
liquor interests to influence the jury
to such an extent that they will re.
turn verdict Of mot guilty. in the
Chamales case
