NEAR BEER DISPENSERS
GET ANOTHER REVERSE
Special to The Netcs.

Special to The Neps.
Jackson, Miss, June 22.-The rul
ings of the Supreme Court on the sug.
gestions of error in the Fuller cases
are complete knockout for near
beer dealers, and the vendors of all
beverages of that character are liable
to prosecution under the statutory pro-
hibition law if they continue the traf-
fic.
Summing up the legal situation
briefly, 1t seems that the near-beer
dealers took advantage of a technical
ity in the former ruling of the Su-
preme Court or misinterpreted its true
import, believing that it gave them
legal sanction to sell any sort of
beverage containing from one to three
per cent of alcohol
That the Supreme Court did not
mean ITO give that Interpretation of
the law was clearly indicated in the
decisions on the suggestions of error
filed by Assistant Attorney-Gen
Mcdowell and which were passed up
on by the court Monday.
The court affirms the position of the
Assistant Attorney-Genera that bev-
erage containing 212 per cent of al
cohol, which was proven in one of the
Fuller ceses, will, if drunk to excess,
produce intoxication. Supporting this
decision Chief Justice Mayes cited a
recent ruling by the Federal court
that malt beverage containing only
two per cent of alcohol will produce |
In the second Fuller case 1t was
shown that beverage called Brew
ette," contained only one-thirteenth of
one per cent of alcohol and, in the
former decisi0n by Justice Anderson
Il was hed that beverage of this
character could not produce intoxica-
ion.
However, in overruling the sugges-
Ion of error in which Assistant At
orney-General Mcdowell attacked the
'oundness of this decision, Chief JUS
Ice Mayes ruled that the evidence in
his branch of the Fuller litigation did
lot show that "Brewette" was a malt 6
leverage, and he intimated very plain c
y that if any evidence had been adj I
l

| duced showing "Brewette" to be
malt beverage, it's sale would be cor
strued as violative of the statutory
prohibition law.
Thus it is apparent that the Su
preme Court is gradually working it,
way back to the ruling made more
than a year ago in the celebrated
Edwards case, which was to the effect
that it was not necessary to prove
that any beverage, if drunk to excess
would produce intoxication; that il
was either alcoholic, malt. vinous
or spirituous liquor" and its sale
could be prohibited by law.
1.-The rulings of the court on yester-
day unquestionably mean that the
near-beer dealers must quit business,
and the sooner they do it the BETTER"
said Assistant Attorney General Nc
Dowell. ''In the future it will not
even be necessary to prove that a
brand of near-beer contains alcohol.
1t will only be necessary to show that
it contains malt, and when evidence is
presented showing that any drink is
malt beverage, am confident that
the Supreme Court will hold that it's
sale is violative of our prohibition
statutes"
Attorney-General Hudson agrees
with his assistant in This lnterpreta-
ton of the decision, and already many
Of the near-beer places in Jackson are
closing up show and shipping their
stocks back to, the brewerles.
Members of the Supreme Court de-
cline to comment on the rulings made
Monday, saying that the opinions
speak for themselves. immediately
after the decisions were handed down
several attorneys applied to the
Supreme Court clerk for COP
les, desiring to carefully analyze
the ruling before advising their clients
on the question of whether to remain |
in business.
By relieving the prosecuting officers
Of the duty of proving that a near
beer, or any beverage of that charac-
er, contains certain percentage of
ilcohol, and permitting conviction on
evidence showing only that it is a
malt beverage. the knockout for the
lealers is even more decisive than
he prohibitionists had hoped for, as
will render convictions very easy in
uture prosecutions.
