COad Closes Liquor
Case Against Eagles
Deputy County Attorney Dismisses
Aotion-Goods Taken in the
Raid Returned.

What is declared to be precedent In
the regulation of use OF liquor by social
organizations was established Saturday
when Deputy County Attorney Coad dis
missed the charge OF violations against
Jules Althaus custodian, of the Eagles
lodge rooms. Confronted by lengthy brief
presented by Attorneys Charles Britt and
A. 8. Richie. Attorney Coad decided that
the lodge by reason OF its nature could not
have violated the law.
Judge Crawford. before whom the case
was brought. had no part in the decision,
announcing that he would offer no opinion
when the deputy county attorney dismissed
the case The attorney justified his action
on the ground that social organization
having the distribution OF liquor only as
an Incidental function did not come under
the scope Of the liquor laws. II was pointed
out that Althaus had not been the dis
penser of the liquor. but that the lodge
only had dispensed IT. and as It's members
already owned the stock, therefore they
were not buying at retail what they OBJ
talned in the lodge rooms.
When .Althaus was discharged the guam
tity OF case beer and whisky which had
been connscated were returned by the
police.
