Vendors of 2.75 Per Cent. Beer Arc
RUNNING Risks.


Burlington, July ST shall rigid
ly and impartially enforce the prohi-
bition law in this State" declared
United States District Attorney Yer
non A. Billiard to a Free Press rep
resentative yesterday afternoon, and
shall take immediate steps to insti-
tute suits against all bar-keepers who
persist in selling the 2.75 per cent.
beer, in order TO have the question of
whether such percentage of beer is
intoxicating decided by the court in
Vermont.
II shall not prosecute persons sell
ing beer until the United States SUI
preme Court gives decision" con-
tnued Attorney Billiard, "but after
that decision is made, if the court
rules that the 2.75 per cent. beer is
intoxicating, | shall Immediately pre-
fer charges against such persons as
violators of the prohibition law. The
prosecutions will be impartial and all
violators, whether selling now or hav-
ing sold since June 30, will be tried
under the prohibition act"
Information taken from notice
sent to Attorney Billiard by A. Nit
chell Palmer. encouragement of the
United States, reads as follows: THE
prohibition law has been held to be
constitutional and valid by the Unit
ed States Circuit Court of Appeals of
New York It plainly makes unlaw-
full the sale of whiskey, brandy and
other distilled spirits and wine. The
governments contention has been
that the prohibition act prohibits the
manufacture and sale of beer contain
ing as much as one-half of one per
cent. alcohol, but the Interpretation
of the act is not free from difficulty
The course of action will depend upon
the rulings made by the court. There
will be no amnesty granted to any
one who may see fit to manufacture
or to sell beer pending an authori-
tative judicial construction of the law
and the brewers and dealers SHOULD
understand that the tendency of liti-
CATION will be no protection against
prosecution for offenses under the
law.
with respect to whiskey, brandy
and other distilled spirits, wine and
beer containing more than two and
three-quarters per cent alcohol and
other intoxicating malt or vinous
liquors the prohibition is beyond con
troversy, and but one course is open
to the department of Justice. All per-
sons found selling liquors must be ar
rested and prosecuted. The district
attorney will cause warrants to be
