TWO LIQUOR BILLS
PASSED BY HOUSE
Present Law Relating to Sale
of Liquor in Dry Terri
tory Amended.
EXTEND JURISDICTION
New Measure Permits Justice
of Peace to Try and De-
ternine Cases.
EXTEND JURISDICTION

Two Of the series OF liquor bills pre-
sented in the house by Judd on behalf
of the Municipal League Of Utah were
passed by the house yesterday. OF
the two, house bill No. 55 is the more
important. 1t extends the present law
in regard to the prohibition of liquor
distribution In "dryn territory so as
to make an agent of the buyer or sell
or punishable if he be the medium by
which liquor Is distributed in prohibi-
tion territory. The new bill also speci'
fies q penalty, which was not provided
in the present law.
Inasmuch as a certified copy of
United States licenses cannot be OBJ
tanned owing TO regulation or the
treasury department to that effect, the
new bill makes certified copy OF the
record of the receipt issued at the
time the government license was pro
cured prima facie evidence that the
person to whom il was issued has the
intent of engaging in the liquor traf'
fie.
An important provision and one
which met with strongly expressed al
though not numerously supported op.
position at yesterdays session is that
which says that merely charging a
person with having liquor in his pos
session shall be deemed evidence that
he is guilty, and consequently the bur
den of proof rests with him, In other
words, according to the view expressed
by Page of Piute and others, the pro-
vision is In direct contravention of the
recognized principle that a man is
presumed to be innocent until he is
proved guilty. Under the new provis-
ION, a person charged with possessing
liquor, save in cases excepted by law,
must prove himself innocent or suf-
fer the penalty, A motion to strike
out this provision was made by Page,
II was lost

Cannot Be Given Away.

Another provision which Page sought
10 have stricken out was the one which
says, in connection with the distribu-
ton OF liquor in dry territory, that
motion to strike was lost.
Recently Judge F. C, Loofbourow
rendered decision in the district
court OF this county which nullified
u large number Of prosecutions under
The liquor act. The ground Of Judge
Loofbourow s ruling was that the law
specified that the action must be
brought IN the nature of an indict-
ment or information, That being So
Justice of the peace would not have
jurisdiction. AS a result Of that de-
tions may be instituted on affidavit or
complaint, which come within the prov
nee of the justice court.
Meant as means of further bringing
liquor cases within the jurisdiction OF
thc justices of the peace, is the reduc-
ZION Of the penalty provided in the
old law from maximum fine of $4,000
20 the penalty attached to mjsde-
mcanors, or a maximum of S299 The
minimum is made $50. The justices
therefore may handle liquor cases COM
ing under the new law.
\ provision in the bill makes 1t I'M
lawful for a manufacturer Or dealer
n "wet' territory to ship liquor into
dry territory with the intent OF
distribution. When the bill was first
introduced there was much opposition
on the ground that the passage OF such
an act would deprive Utah dealers of
financial gain which would go 10 deal
ers in other states, who Could send
liquor into Utah "dry'' territory with
lmpunity- The passage of the Webb
Kenyon bill in congress, however
makes it a violation Of the fedora
statutes for an Interstate commerce
carrier to transport liquor from 'fwet
territory in one state 10 "dry" terri
tory in another, and thus, according tC
the view taken in the house yesterda,
bv the advocates Of the bill, dry :
territory becomes doubly protected
once against shipments from Utal
wet territory and again from
wet territory in other states.

*Twopenny Detective

Detectives, lawyers clerks and 9TH
ers often experience great difficulty
in obtaining an undoubted specimen
of a certain persons signature. in
| one case recourse had to be had to
marriage register; in another the
only signature procurable was on the
fyleaf of a book which the suspect
had presented to a relative; and only
two or three years ago a testimonial
to a sea captain was brought into
court, because among the signatures
to it was one for which the police
had long hunted in vain.
One of the most common expedients
resorted to for overcoming this diff
ficulty is employing the "twopenny
detectiye"-thati is, sending a regis
tered letter to the person whose sig
niture is wanted. And this is fire.
