Ohio Judge Decided Prohibition Acts

(By Associated Fress.)

EAST LIVERPOOL. OHIO. Mar
GA decision was handed down in the
Columbiana county court by Judge w.
W. Holt today. ruling that liquor can
be sold on the Ohio river without VIC
lat:ng the law. This will greatly
handicap the work OF the. dry forces.
as nearly all the towns along the
Ohio river have voted to prohibit the
sale Of liquor.
The decision was made in the case
Of William Savers. who was charged
with selling liquor on a houseboat.
Savers was fined by Mayor Craw-
ford but appealed the case. the ruling
today being the result.
The Judge declared 1t was unfair
and wrong to sell liqnor under these
conditions. but maintained the law did
no; cover such contingency
The dry forces will probably carry
the case to a higher court.
