NEW LIQUOR ORDINANCE
T0BE BROUGHT TO TEST
Measure Prohibiting Drinking In Pub
lie Places at RedIands Reported
as Proving Unsatisfactory
to Merchants
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
REDLANDS, June 2S.-The first test
of the new liquor ordinance will be
made this week, three young men hav-
ing been arrested last night for drink
ing in a public alley. The ordinance
prohibits any one from partaking of
liquor in public street, alley or other
public place, though the sale of liquor
by the drug stores is permitted. The
ordinance in many ways Is proving
quite unsatisfactory. as merchants In
the morning find an array of empty
liquor bottles in their doorways or
stairways.
1t is possible that amendments will
be made to the ordinance so to regulate
further the sale of liquor. The pres
ent plan is practically a wide open
proposition, there being few restric-
tions on the business during week
days.

"Another Southern Outrage"
Another complication is added
to the local option question in this
county. 1t will be remembered
that the st. Louis Court of APP
peals, by its opinion in the Rotor
naz case, decided that the local
option election, held on March 7th
last, was void as to the city of
Pennington, for the reason that the
census of Pennington was taken
in time for the county court to
have taken judicial notice that the
city had over $500 inhabitants.
When the Court of Appeals man.
date (opinion) arrived, the attor-
neys for John Wilson, who had
been indicted on information of
the Prosecuting Attorney for vio-
lating the local option law outside
of Pennington, filed a motion to
quash the information for the rea-
son that the local option election
was void and of no effect. Judge
Killian heard the evidence in this
motion on last Saturday, which
consisted of all the records of the
county court and the city ofFarm-
ington that had any reference to
the local option election, and the
census of Pennington, and, after
the arguments, sustained the mo-
tion and quashed the information,
thereby multiplying the election
outside of Farmingtsn; but, in
passing upon it, stated, "this does
not necessarily authorize the coun-
ty court in granting dramshop Ii
cense any one" This, in effect,
makes the county "wet" in the
circuit court, but "dry" in the
county court. 1t prevents any one
from being successfully %prosecut-
ed in the circuit court for an al
legged violation of the local option
law, and at the same time prevents
the granting of dramshop license,
or, in other words, "breeds blind
tigers" and then insures to the
"tiger' a legal Immunity bath"
1t would have been much better
had the question been finally and
unquestionably decided one way
or the other,-Farmington Times.
