present stocks are exhausted.
In permitting saloons to remain open
for the sale of "a per cent bever-
ages, the department of justice is un-
derstood not to forego the privilege
of prosecution later, if its contention
that 3-4 per cent beer is Intoxicating
shall be upheld. In short, the ques-
ton merely is held in allegiance until
a final decision is reached in the test
cases. The supreme court cannot pass
on it before October Is.
Consideration of the enforcement and
definitive measures is not to begin
until after the Independence Day
