STATE WINS SUIT
AGAINST 4 CLUB"
DAVIS SERVICE" LAW is GIVEN
A TEST AND DECLARED VAL.
I'D IN JACKSONVILLE CASE.

The Jacksonville Tines Union of
recent date, contained the following:
The case of the State of Florida ex
rel, Thomas F. West, attorney gem
eral, VS.. St. Charles Social Club,
corporation, was yesterday decided
by a jury in favor of the state.
This case, which was tried in the
circuit court on Monday and Tuesday
of this week with Judge Daniel A.
Simmons presiding, was a prosecu-
tion for alleged violation and evasion
of the Davis package law and other
laws of Florida regulating the sale of
and furnishings of intoxicating
liquors. Since the Davis law was
passed a large number of social clubs
have been organized in number of
cities in Florida. There has been con-
siderable discussion as to the status
OF these clubs and quo warranto pro-
ceedings were instituted by the attor-
ney general to test the validity OF
the ST. Charles club. The information
set up specific instances Of violation
of criminal laws, also alleging non
compliance with the corporation char
ter. The verdict of the jury in this
case is Of interest in its bearing on
future prosecutions. This is the first
quo warrantc proceedings instituted
since the passage of the Davis law
although several clubs have been con-
victed in Tampa on the charge Of Law
violation. The effect of the verdict
in the st. Charles club case is tc
annul its charter and thereby termi.
nate its existence.
The state was represented in thi:
case by Frank Wideman, acting fol
the attorney general, and B. B. Mac
Donald, J. J. G. Cooper and A. c. Ar.
mold represented the defendant.
