GOVERNMENT OPENb FIGHT AGAINST 2.75 Boston Cafe Man Arraigned Today on Charge of Selling Beer in Violation of Pro- hibition Edict. The New necticut Retail Britain branch of the Con- Liquor Dealers’ asso- ciation will have a hand in the test case now in the courts testing the validity of the entire war time prohi- bition law, including not only beer and ale but also light wines and other drinks handed across the bars, as a re- sult of the convention held in New Haven vesterday attended by A. E. Monsees, president of the local branch and representative from this city to the executive session. To Fight to the End. Mr. Monsees stated on his return that the case would have the support of the local dealers to the end. The executive committee held a special meeting yesterday afternoon in New Haven and as'a result of this meeting, which was representative of the liguor interests throughout the state, having had a representative from each city and town, it was decided to test every clause of the law. Police on the Alert. Nearly all the saloons of the city are open today and 2.75 and near beer is still on sale. The police made tours of inspection last night in all the cafes not visited the preceding night, but no instanees of sale of drinks oth-y er than near beer have been reported. Supply Is Running Low. That the saloons will close for of drinkables to dispense within a few days was hinted this morning by one of the local saloon men who stated that stocks of near beer vunnnw"‘ low in all cafes and breweries are un- dealers with orders for time to come. No Jump In Price. Although prices for beer have gone up in Hartford, New Haven, and prac- every other city in the state, the local dealers with few exceptions | will continue to sell at prices the same as those before July 1. In the other cities beer is selling at 10 cents per glass, while the price here is still fu' cents. Special brands of near beer is being sold at higher rates but the us- ual line purchased before closing will be sold at old prices for the present at least. . President A. . Monsees said today that in the event of 2 beer being adjudged all right for le and m!_x(\r drinks excluded from sale the price will of necessity go up to 10 cents. It would be impossible, he said,. for sa- loonkeepers to conduct their places of business on the revenue received from beer at its present selling price . Fight on in Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh, July 9.—The govern- ment’'s drive against the sale of beer containing 2 3-4 per cent. alcohol was launched here today when U. St Attorney R. I. Crawford filed a suit against the Pittsburgh Brewing Co., one of the city’s largest breweries in the U. 8. district court this mnoon, charging violation of the war-time prohibition law. Rleven officials of the company were named in the in- formation. Immediately following filing of suit, U. S. Judge W. H. Thompson, pleas of the federal attorney issued a writ upon the company to appear in court. At the same time he issued bench warrants for the arrest of the 11 officers of the company named in the suit. The warrants were placed | in the hands of U. S. Marshal Short | who immediately started out to round the officials up. Boston Test ((Iw' On. Boston, July 9.—I.eopold H. Vogel, member of a of saloonkeepers today pleaded not guilty in the federal | court to a charge of selling in violation of the war-time prohibition act, in what is regarded. as the test case in the issue in this state. His partner, Sanford F. Petts, who is under similar charges brought by the U. S. Attorney, was out of the state and could not appear. Vogel was allowed week to | change his plea or to file a demurrer It was said the latter probably would | be the course pursued, counsel setting up the claim that as the charge did not lack are some the on firm beer a | tion | the | ing | rec | where a | claimed.
