SALOON MIN
MUCH IN DOUBT
Judge Geiger's Decision
Still Fails to Open
the Way.
WAIT ON PEACE PACT


Kenosha saloon men were very much
in doubt today as to whether or not
the sale of 2hGo beer would be re-
sumed in Kenosha following the de-
cision of Judge Gefger in the federal
court. making it possible for breweries
IN Wisconsin to brew this sort of a
drink. Leaders in the business here
said that their decision to sell or not
to sell would be largely regulated by
the decision Of the Milwaukee leaders
in the business. "Billy" Austin, the
attorney for the brewers, has an
nounced that the brewers will not start
making 2h% beer until the United
States court has decided on the deci-
sion of Judge Geiger::

Won't Need New License.

Saloon men and officials are agreed
that the saloon men can not be forced
to take out any further license to deal
IN the % brew, if 1T is found legal
to sell this brew. The decision of the
court holds that It can be sold because
1t IS not an Intoxicating liquor. IF II
is not Intoxicating, the city will find
1t hard to get any further license
money out of the saloon men.
Some saloon men hold that the Null
berger law is not effective until war
time prohibition is called off. Thew
hold that wartime prohibition can not
be called off until the peace treaty is
ratified.

he felt in every pocket and found
not a single penny. He had given
up his apartment that morning.

what were upon him. had scend-
