MUCH interest IN
LIQUOR DECISION
Effort May be Made at Next
Legislature to Eliminate
Discrimination
SOME TALK OF
AMENDING LAW

Great interest is being taken In the
decision Of the Supreme Court at Do
yer yesterday as to the application Of
the Webb-Kenyon law and the Hazel
law designed to prohibit the shipment
Of liquor into dry territory like
Kent and Sussex counties. The court
decided that the Webb Kenyon law in
conjunction with the Hazel law did
not prohibit the shipment OF llauor
Tor lawful purposes from other States
into Kent and Sussex counties, and
that liquor could be shipped from
other States to persons IN the lower
counties for their personal use.
Az the same time the court decided
that the Hazel law prohibited ship
ments from New Castle county into
Kent or Sussex counties, there be-
ing no question Of interstate COM
merce involved IN such shipments.
The effect OF the Supreme Courts
ruling, made in the appeal of Robert
Van Wrinkle, Adams express agent at
Smyrna, from conviction Ia the Court
of General Sessions for delivering
Smyrna, is to bar liquor dealers in
New Castle county from shipping their
products into Kent and Sussex. while
at the same time Il viii permit deal
ers In Philadelphia, Baltiomre and
other cities to ship beer and whIskey
to persons In Kent and Sussex for
"lawful purposes" While anybody,
il is contended, may order liquor
shipped for lawful purposes" Il will
be mighty difficult to keep trace of Il
after II is received in the lower coun-
ties.
As an upshot Of the discrimination
against New Castle county liquor deal
ers in favor Of dealers in other states
that exists, following the decision OF the
Supreme Court yesterday, it Is alto
gether likely that some action win be
taken by the new Legislature in the
matter. inasmuch as it is serious
legal question as TO how liquor shipped
from other States for "lawfu purposes,
can be excluded from Delaware. il is
contended that discrimination against
New Castle county dealers should be
lifted by the Legislature By amending
the present Hazel law. Whether this
will be done remains to be seen. Some
Of the temperance advocates in fighting
for passage Of the Hazel law, admitted
that they did not want 10 discriminate
against Delaware dealers in favor OF
dealers in other States, which some OF
the liquor dealers who addressed the
House contended would be the effect OF
the Hazel bill and the webb-Kenyon
law.
Attorney General Wolcott has not de.
termined on any appeal TO the United
States Supreme Court and the case will
most likely rest whore il is.

LIQUOR Goes TO
lower counties
Shipments Resumed Follow
ing Supreme Courts Deci-
sion at Dover
LOCAL DEALERS MAY
USE OUTSIDE STATION

Following the lifting of the ban upon
shipments Of liquor from points outside
OF Delaware into Kent and Sussex
counties, many big parcels Of wet
gonds' were sent down the Delaware
Railroad this morning from Philadel-
phia, and it is expected that flood OF
packages and demijohns Of liquor will
follow as soon as the fun meaning OF
the Supreme Courts ruling is realized
by those who desire "booze,. and by
the liquor dealers in Pennsylvania and
Maryland. The Supreme Court ruling
left it clear for the Adams Express
Company to carry and deliver liquor
into Kent and Sussex counties when
shipped for lawful purposes" The re-
ceiving of liquor for personal use was
deemed TO be o lawful purpose.
Wilmington dealers cannot ship liquor
from this city direct into Kent or Sussex
counties under the courts Interpretation
Of the Hazel law. It was said today
that the Wilmington dealers may get
shipments into the lower counties by
sending them to distributing station
ia Pennsylvania or Maryland, and hav-
ing the shipments reconsigned from
that station TO Kent or Sussex uoun-
ties. That would make such shipments
the subject of interstate commerce it
Is claimed and they could go from out
side Of Delaware into the lower eoun-
ties. So far as could be learned to-
day, none of the local liquor dealers had
decided to establish such distributing
depots or branches in other states.
