SPRINGFIELD, Ill, January 5.-The
tussle between State and city officials
on the question of how to manage
John Barleycorn in Chicago has re-
suited in a compromise in the form OF
an agreement for the creation of a
special commission to hear license ap-
peals from Chicago.
Breaking a long deadlock between
Mayor Edward ]. Kelly and Gov. Henry
Horner over the question of liquor con-
troll in Chicago, the two officials agreed
last night upon the special commits
sion, which is to have complete author
ity to pass on appeals which grow out
of the issuance, the revocation and re-
fusalS to issue licenses in Chicago.
On all other matters, however, such
as the collection of revenue, the fixing
of standards, a State commission is to
have jurisdiction. 1t also will pass on
licensing appeals that come from out
side of Chicago.
bone of contention between the Gov
ernor and the mayor. After the agree
ment was reached Mayor Kelly said
sit will give US home rule for three
years, anyhow" His statement was
based on the fact that Chicago will
have majority control of the special
commission. Under the plan, which is
to be submitted to the State Legisla-
ture. Secretary of State Edward j.
Hughes Of Chicago will be a member.
An amendment to the States pro-
posed liquor control law was adopted
by the Senate of the Legislature last
night permitting service bars only in
drinking places and requiring that the
actual drinking be done at tables, ex-
cept in restaurants. where liquor could
be drunk at regular lunch counters.
The House had not yet acted on this
proposal.
