LIQUOR FORGE MAKE NEW MOVE ID TEST
 PROHIBITION LAW
ATTORNEY IVES BRINGS MAN DAMus PROCEEDINGS IN EFF. FORT TO SHOW DEALERS HOW THEY STAND IN THE LAW

"Attorney-General Jones has brok- on his word" said Eugene s. Ives, Thursday morning, at the courthouse shortly before filing an application for writ of mandamus to compel J. E. Woods, city license and tax collector, to issue liquor license to Charles J. Cunningham Mir Ives has taken this method of forcing speedy test on the prohibition law.
 The refusal of the attorney-gener- al, as stated in a telegram to Mir Ives received late Wednesday. to have the Gherna test case advanced on the docket, forced the attorneys for the liquor men to find some oth- CT way to get a speedy decision. Since the Gherna case is not to be advanced on the calendar of the su- preme court to which an appeal has been taken it cannot be reached in- side of sixty days.
 There are those who profess to see a political move in the attorney generals change of mind, in that he wants to avoid responsibility. which might jeopardize the affections of one class of voters or another.
 "I was going to advise my clients. the liquor dealers, to open up again, said Mir Ives, but the difficulty is that while they have county and gov ernment licenses they have no city licenses, hence the present proceed ings. am also thinking of having a dealer outside the city limits keep Pastime Park
 It happens that Loebs holds a com mission as a deputy sherih and in- quiries of Sheriff Forbes by MT. Ives ellcited the information that Forbes would certainly revoke Loebs com mission if he violated the law, even to make a test case Loebs is un- willing to lose his commission.
 There are three other licensed li- quor dealers in the county. Otto Schley at Vail and two at Arivaca. Speedy Hearing.
 It has been tentatively agreed that 1 Judge Cooper will issue an order i'm mediately and that the writ for ! Woods to show cause why he should not issue the license be made return able on Saturday
 Cunningham conducts the Cabinet saloon at Congress and Church Sts. The application for the writ sets forth that it has been the custom of the city to allow a liquor dealer to keep open twenty days after the expiration of his quarterly license, and that if within the next twenty days he pays for the next quarter. Woods was rendered S2OO on We'd nesday for a quarterly license ac- cordng to the application and re- fused it on the ground that the pro- hibition amendment is now in effect. The plaintiff alleges that the amend ment is unconstitutional and void and that moreover it is not self-en- acting.
 Should the plaintin secure a city license, MT. Ives will advise him to keep open and disregard the amend. ment After he has been repeatedly . arrested, an injunction against the sheriff will be asked and this, doubt less, will quickly be carried to the supreme court.
 Cause of Interest
 That the desire of the liquor men for a speedy test is more than to sat isfy their curiosity. is shown by part of the application which states that pressure is being brought to bear up on the plaintiff for the settlement of business obligations.
