[ QUOR LAW IS HELD VALID
ILLINOIS STATUTE UPHELD BY
THE SUPREME COURT.
Local Option Measure Passed by the
Legislature Last Year 10 De-
clared ConstltutlonaL.

Springfield. H., Apr. 24.-The SD.
prone court Thursday handed down
an opinion In the John Mcbride appeal
case, holding that the local option law
which was passed by the legislature
last year is constitutional In every re-
spect. The court is unanimous in It's
decision. Every point on which the
law was attacked is gone into by the
court, and no section Of II but what
is pronounced valid by the supreme
court. The supreme court holds that
the title h not defective; that the law
does not interfere with interstate com

property, because the saloon keeper
invests in furniture and fungs
knowing that he Is liable to have his
license revoked at any time under the
old law, even, and that the new law
does not create any new offenses.
The higher court also holds that the
United States stamp is prima facic
evidence that the man is engaged In
the sale of liquor; that In case of elec.
tions without notice, for which IL pro
vides, such elections, II held, would be
invalid, but that this does not invali.

Of liquor. The salo Of liquor for
