DRY LAW BARS LOCKER SYSTEM
Governor Carlson Puts That construc.

Governor Carlson Puts That Construc.
tion on Prohibition Measure.
Denver.-Governor Carlson believes
the dry law prohibits the mainten-
ance. of the locker system in social
clubs, by means of which each men,
ber could keep liquor. The executive
said clubs cannot be classed as
members homes" "a man cannot
have two homes his club and the
place where his family lives-any more
than he can have two wives" the
governor declared.
Leading clubs of Denver have an
nounced their intention to dispense en-
tirely with liquor after Jan. ! If the
Supreme Court upholds contentious of
state officials in two suits pending in
court
Within the next three weeks a meet
ing OF the District Attorneys Associa-
tion of the state will be held to dis
cuss prosecutions of violators of the
prohibition law.
A special call will be issued by Dis
trict Attorney Purcell of El Paso
county, president, according to Cover
nor Carlson.
The governor and the attorney gen.
eral vii! meet with the prosecutors.
A special fund OF $4,000 was
granted the governor by the General
Assembly to aid in the enforcement OF
the law, and it is probable the COVER
nor will appoint special officer to
aid in gathering evidence.
Bargain" sales of liquors in antici-
patton of the enforcement of the law
have already begun, and many citizens
are beginning to stock their cellars.
According to state officials the only
place an individual can keep liquor for
his own consumption, without liability
of seizure, will be his own home.
Estimates vary as to the amount OF
liquor now held by Colorado dealers
which they will have to sell or ship
away. Federal revenue officers think
the total value is at least $4,000, 600.
Adolph Seibold, president of the
Liquor Dealers Association, esti.
mates it at between s2,500,000 and
$4,000 900.

DRYS WIN
SUPREME COURT OF COLORADO
DECIDES DENVER is SUBJECT
TO PROHIBITION CLAUSE.
Special Election Nullified and "Wets"
Must Accept Decision Made by
Rest Of State, and Close
All Saloons Jan. I.

western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver, Dec. 7.-Denver must be-
come "dry" on Jan. 1, according to
the ruling of the Supreme Court in
it's decision in the home rule liquor
case rendered Monday morning.
The decision was rendered en- banc
by the court, the opinion having been
written by Chief Justice Gabbert
The court held that the Denver
charter, drawn under provisions Of the
twentieth, or home rule, amendment
to the state constitution. does not
serve to exempt this city from the
scope of the statewide prohibition
amendment adopted by vote of the
people Nov. 8, 1914, and the prohibi-
tion-enforcement statute passed by the
Legislature last winter IN conformity.
The case was taken to the Supreme
Court by agreement between the at
torney general and the city attorney
to determine the legality of the ac-
tion Of the Denver city council in
granting liquor licenses extending be-
yond Jan. 1, 1916, when the statewide
prohibition amendment becomes effec.
tive
The city council granted the IL
censes in accordance with the amend
ment to the city charter adopted al
the municipal election last spring.
known as the home-rule for liquor
amendment. Upon petition of the at.
torney general and city attorney the
Supreme Court in September agreed
to take original Jurisdiction in the
case on the ground that the issue IN
| and should be determined before the
first of the year.
A writ Of certiorari was issued by
the court directing the city to show
cause why It should not be ordered to
cancel the liquor licenses issued by it
and extending beyond that date.
The contention of the attorneys TO-
the city was that the home rule
amendment to the constitution gives
ganized exclusive right to regulate
their local and municipal affairs. This
right was not abridged or repealed
with regard to the regulation of the
liquor traffic by the prohibition amend
ment, 1t was contended.
The state took the position that the
regulation of the sale of liquor is a
police power and that the exercise of
police power is vested within the state
alone and cannot be delegated to any
unit of government within the state
Such right as that claimed by Den
YER, the states attorneys argued
would be recognizing the authority OF
state within the state, which is pro-
hibited by she federal constitution.
1t was also contended by the state
that the repeating clause of the pro-
hibition amendment repealed anything
in the twentieth, or home rule, amend.
ment which might be construed to
give this authority to Denver or other
home rule cities in Colorado.
In the decision all liquor licenses ex
tending into 1916 are determined a
nullity and it devolves upon the city
council to cancel those running after
Jan. 1.

tanned by the Colorado Women's
