Pr0hibit:Cn Law Must Go to the Su
prema Court

Tie act of Secretary of State Rama;.
IL refusing to refer the statewide pro-
hlDiti0n law passed by TIE last legisia-
lure to vote of the people of Colo
rado at the next general election, was
upheld by Judge Perry OF the District
court in Denver Wednesday morning
Judge Perry held that it was not with
in the province of court to go be-
hind law regularly passed b. the
legislature
John w Helbig. attorney for the
Home Rule" league which filed the
7pplicatiOn for the mandamus against
the secretary of state, gave notice that
he would take the case to the Supreme
court for review
He was given five days in which to
make the formal motion for new
trial. after which he said he would go
t" the Supreme court.
The point made and urged by Mr.
Helbig for the petitioners was that the
'atct. clause was improperly inserted
II tie bill. and that the whole bill was
tull and void on that account
Judge Perry held that the lcgis!a-
turc had the right to put in the safety
clause and also to provide that the law
should not go into effect for nearly a
year afterwards. He found nothing in
the passage Of the law that he though.
would Justify invalidating it.

that prohibits the sale Of Intoxicating
liuuors to a man who is already under
influence of intoxicants Had those in
authority or those in charge of the bar

vented Bulger from getting any more
