Chicago, Dec. 1.—Victory for the Sunday saloon s claimel by the in- terests opposing the crusade for the enforcement of the Sunday closing law. The claim is based on a ruling made by Judge Fake In the case of Tom Chamales, owner of the Savoy cafe and first saloonkeeper to be tried on the evidence obtained by the Chicago Law and Order league. Judge Fake admitted as evidence for the defense the city’s ordinance passed a number Of years ago permitting saloons to Temain open on the Sabbath, This ordinance has been revised several times, although in direct con- tradiction to the state law, which says that the saloons must be closed on Sunday and which provides for a maximum fine of $200 for its viola- tion. While it is admitted that a city ordinance cannot be in effect when it contradicts a state law the defense will seek to show the jury that for thirty-three years the state law has been inoperative in Chicago and for that reason it does not apply to the city. The fact that the ‘city authoritles have never caused the enforcoment of the state law and, in fact, caused an ordinance to be passed in an attempt to nullify that law is expected by the liquor interests to influence the jury to such an extent that they will re- been turn a verdict of “not gullty” in the Chamales case.
