JUDGE BELDEN IS SUSTAINED
Court Holds That Brewers May Make
Lease Which Demands Use of One
Certain Kind Of Beer and Selling
Other Beer Violates the Contract.

The supreme court of Wisconsin
forged the letters about the retail sa-
loonkeeper on Tuesday and brought
great joy to the ranks of the brewers
when the court handed down decision
in the suit brought by James w. Rose
against Robert Gordon in the court
Of Kenosha county, in which the deci-
sion of Judge Belden was affirmed.
The decision practically assures the
validity of what is known as the "beer
clause" in leases and it is hailed as
one of the most notable victories that
the brewers of the state and surround
ing states have won in years.
The case had been one Of the most
carefully defended ever laid before the
supreme court of the state. 1t was
originality tried in the circuit court of
this county and after Judge Belden
had decided that the lease was valid
an appeal was taken by Gordon to the
supreme court. The case was argued
for the plaintiff by Attorney A. L.
Drury and Attorney Calvin Stewart
appeared for the defendant. After the
arguments had been submitted to the
court the brewing companies, recogniz-
ing the Importance of the case, en-
ployed one of the most noted attorneys
in Milwaukee to file special brief
with the court under the privilege
friend Of the court. !" The decision
Il the first decision Of the kind to be
handed down by any of the higher
courts in this section of the country.
The case originated out of the refus-
ell of Gordon, who was tenant Of
the Schoenhofen Brewing Company, tc
abide by clause in the lease which
provided that he should sell nothing
but the beer furnished to him by the
Chicago Brewery. Gordon bought the
building but the courts held that it was
bought subject to the lease and James
w, Rose, the agent for the Chicago
brewery, secured an order forcing Cor
don to vaeate the building or live W
TO the provisions of the lease and sell
only the beer furnished by Rose. Cor
don appealed from the decision Of
Judge Randall in the municipal court
and the case went to the circuit cour-
whore the holdings Of Judge Randall
were promptly affirmed by Judge
Belden and then the case went to the
supreme court of the state.
The decision of the court will be fal
reaching in its effects as it viii affec

ings owned by brewing companies ant

panies to insist on the sale of certain
brands of beer and only these brands
