ments to the jury and the county at

eREwERIEs HIT HARD.
Chicago Judge Says It Is Unlawful for
Them to Hold Licenses.

Them to Hold Licenses,
A decision expected to have a far
reaching effect was handed down by
Judge Windes In the Chicago circuit
court late Saturday, when he declared
that the practice by breweries of hold
ing large numbers of saloon licenses
was unlawful.
The decision was given in the case
Of Henry Bucholz a saloonkeeper, who
filed a petition for mandamus against
Mayor Busse and Collector Magerstadt
to force the city to issue license to
him.
Over 1000 licenses, in which over
O,000,0 0o is said to be invested by
breweries in Chicago, will be affected
by the decision, according to Assistant
Corporation Counsel Beilman, who rep
resented the city in the suit
Recently Bucholz filed suit In the
circuit court against the city officials
to force them to issue a license to him.
The city through the corporation
counsel offlcials, filed an answer alleg-
ing that Bucholz had assigned his IL
cense to K. Evans. manager and agent
for the Conrad Seipp Brewing Co., and
therefore the right of renewal or re-
issuance OF the license was vested in
Evans.
Bucholz assigned the license as Sc
curing for debt to the brewery, was
alleged by the city, but this was de.
MED.
Attorney O'Donnell filed replica
ton to the answer of the city In which
he stated that Evans. as the agent of
a corporation, could not lawfully hold
a saloon license.
The court ordered that the city issue
a license to Bucholz and stated at the
same time that the practice of brewer
les in holding licenses in the name OF
the corporation or by any of its agents
was unlawful
