story has reached this country OF
hat which spoiled an afternoon per-
formance at small French play
house. 1t appears that in the absence
of an orchestra lady presided over
the piano. She was neither young.
pretty nor talented, and not wishing
to pass unnoticed conceived the idea
of wearing hat that would attract
tile attention of the audience.
In this she was successful. The hat
looked like goodtsized umbrella COW

AS the lady took her seat the surprise
1t caused hushed the audience into
silence; when. however, the pianist
struck the first notes and the flowers,
ribbons and birds began a mad dance.

at last grew SO terrific that the curtain
was lowered to give the spectators an

Giles approached and spoke to her,

ILLEGAL FOR SOCIAL CLUBS TO
DISPENSE LIQUOR IN DRY
TOWNS.
SAYS SUPREME COURT
DECISION OF FREMONT COUNTY
COURT SUSTAINED BY HIGH
EST TRIBUNAL.

Denver.-Temperanc advocates will
find great aid in their fights for the
white flag in a decision rendered by
Chief Justice Steele of the Supreme
Court Monday Cthe court sitting en-
banc) that clubs or social organiza-
tions which dispense liquor in fact
sell liquor. the decision being in the
case of Frank Manning ct al, plain
tiffs in error, versus the City of Canon
defendant in error. The plaintiffs in
error constitute the trustees of the
Elks' club of Canon City. The judg
ment of the County Court of Fremont
county was affirmed
Application may be made, however,
of the decision, SO that some OF the
large social clubs of Denver. Pueblo
and other cities, while not having to
close their bars, may be classed as IL
Quor selling places and have to take
out regular saloon licenses. But in
dry towns it will mean that all So
cial clubs will have to close their
doors or quit providing for their men,
bers the perquisites that lend the CLAM
our of romance to club life.
Just how. far reaching the decision
is may not be determined until some
effort is made to force the big social
organizations of this and other cities
to pay licenses.
The Canon City case was brought
because the Elks' club furnished liquor
to the members upon request, although
a city ordinance provides that no in
toxicating liquor may be sold or given
away within the limits of the town.
The Elks club was Incorporated be-
cause the members wished to avoid
the ordinance in every way possible.
The trustees claim that the liquor
was not sold and the dispensing of it
to members of an incorporated club
was but "the equitable distribution of
liquors among the common owners
All the members furnished the funds
with which to buy the liquor in eQuita-
BILE amounts But Justice Steele re-
piled to this argument as follows:
Many of the men do not drink and
certainly there is no equitable dis
tribution of the liquor itself where a
part drink. not only their own share.
but the shares of the others who do
not but it is said that by paying for
what he drinks the drinking members
puts back into the common treasury
the cost of his own indulgence, and
that although by consumption the d.
vision is not equitable, yet it is made
so by contribution to the treasury,
which has neither lost nor gained;
consequently the distribution is held
to be equal The member who drinks
gets his own share and also that of the
man who does not"
1t was claimed that the entire prop
erty of the club remained intact TO
joint use, occupancy and enjoyment of
all the members. Put the court held
that the board of trustees in holding
authority to dispose of the liquor be-
longing 10 the club in fact took away
this common ownership and sold the
liquor The court held that the trans
ferring of absolute property from
holder to consumer constituted sale.
especially as the members contributed
the money to buy the liquor and con-
tinued to pay any shortage that might
occur in keeping up the supply.
