Discussing the new prohibition law Of
Kansas. Charles 5. Painter. OF Kansas
City. who IS at the National. said that IN
connection with the new law, Attorney
General Jackson has started q crusade
on the social clubs Of the State.

drink his owE Iiquor in q club house"
continued Mr.. Painter. Nest OF the
clubs, EIks, Eagles. and the Ike, maintain
locker systems. but these are put under
the ban BY the attorney general All OF
them have taken them out. and cut out
all liquor. The Topeka Club. the swell
club Of the State. which entertains all the
noted men Of the country who happen 10
drift into Topeka, is resisting the new
ruling. Its members claim they have a
right 20 drink their ewn liquor, II kept
Ia lockers. 4 test case viii sooa be made.
Tire position the States attorney takes
is that club house is a place where peo-
pie colsresate to drink, which IS against
the law.

er. following the advice OF the attorney
general. are even limiting the amount
OF beer that man can have shipped into
his home from an outside State wichita
