Time Beer. | TEST CASE TO BE BROUGHT TOMORROW The Retail Liquor Dealers’ associa- tion met this afternoon in Commercial ! hall to take some definite action on { Whether or nat they are to open the places of business for the sale of Bl : per cent. bee A number of the members are d to be in favor of selling 2.75 beer pending the outcome of the test cases, while others favor living up to the letter of the law and selling nothing with an alcoholic con- tent of more than one half of one per cent. All of the dealers are agreed, however, that they will not sell any li- duors or even light wines. H At press time the meeting of the liquor dealers was still in session. Elm City Saloons Open. New Haven, July 7.—Two out" of every three saloons appeared to be open here today for the sale of 5 per cent. beer, following suggestions made at. yesterday's meeting of the executive committee of the Connecti- cut Retail Liquor Dealers’ association. Among the saloons open was that of T. F. Fitzsimmons, secretar of the association, who heretofore kept his place closed. It is understood that no attempt to sell wines will be Iicense holders who rewaain closed are said to do so in order to be cer- tain that they will not be prosecuted. A liquor dealer arrested upon a federal warrant was held in $2,000 bonds for a hearing before Commis- sioner Lynch later in the day, whea five other dealers will be presented before the commissioner, although it may happen that all cases will be con- tinued. Another dealer whose saloon s raided by city police yesterday was held also by the commissioner for hearing, while in the city court hi for alleged violation of excise was continued until the 10th. Test Case Tomorrow. Hartford, July 7.—A case will brought before Judge Chatfield in the United States district court in New Haven Tuesday to determine the legal status of -liquor dealers who are seli- ing beer of alcoholic content of one- half of 1 per cent or greater, accord- ing to the announcement of United States District Attorney John F. Cros- by today. Mr. Crosby stated that if a demurrer was filed by the liquor in- terests, which seemed probable, the test in this case would be whether the sale of ‘“beer” (meaning the beverage over one-half of 1 per cent.) whether intoxicating or not, constituted a vio- lation of the war-time prohibition measure. The arrest on which the case will be based has not been made yert, made. - a case laws be but Mr. Crosby said it would take place this afternoon. “Will it be in New Haven?” he was asked. “That seems the likely place, as T | shall go to New Haven this after- noon,” was the reply. Whiskey Sellers Arrested. In addition to this new phase of the situation, Mr. Crosby will also in the same court prosecute those dealers in and around New Haven who have been arrested for selling whiskey. He will also handle the case which aims to test the constitutionality of the ! whole war-time measure if the attor- neys for the liquor interests lay their inormation before him beore the court | sits. Thus when Judge Chatfield holds | court in New Haven Tuesday he will | probably have before him a case test- | ing the status of ‘“beer” under the war measure, a case testing the con- stitutionality of the whole war prohi- bition, and seven or more of | violation of the liquor law by the sell- | ing of whiskey or other kinds of hard liquor. cases OUT AGAIN, THE Alleged Labor Agitator Released But Is Rearrested I'or Government.
