Iowa Near Beer Seizure Ruled Illegal.

Iowa Near Beer Seizure Ruled Illegal.
Des Moines-Efforts of John B.
Hammond, veteran dry crusader to
prohibit sale of near beer in Iowa re-
ceived a setback here. Municipal
Judge j. E. Mershon by sustaining a
motion of defense attorneys released
10 carloads of the beverage seized un-
der a search warrant sworn to by
Hammond and handed down an opin-
ion that near beer is legal drink for
1owans. He ruled the state had failed
to prove that near beer was an intoxi-
eating beverage and that it could not
be classed as such. He quashed the
writ under which the beer was seized.
