Suffer Sell Liquor After Enjoined Until a Petition of General Consent Was Secured The case of the State of Iowa VS "Sappy" Rink in which the defendant was held guilty of contempt of court for selling liquor after he had been enjoined but not until he had followed his injunction up by securing a new consent of the property owners and in fact complying with all the require ments of the mulct law except to se cure a new petition of general con sent, which he could not do. The decision affects twenty-one otlv crser saloon keepers in Davenport and is one of the most far reaching de cisions that has ever been handed down by the supreme court on the liquor laws. The decision is the biggest victory the saloon men have won in Iowa since the recent agitation of law enforcement began and It affects hundreds of saloons in the state. The decision of the court means that a saloon keeper if once enjoined can put up the necessary bond, secure the consent of the property owners, comply with the requirements of the. mulct law and can open up his saloon for business again, even though' be be operating under the same general petition of consent for the community that he was, enjoined under.

The message from Des Moines was a brief one, stating' simply that the case hart heen reversed, me court, holding Rink was entitled to operate a saloon without getting a new general petition of consent, and that he could therefore not be barred from conducting a saloon. It 1b believed that the supreme court has held that the general petition of consent is not a permit to the individual in any sense, but an expression of the will of the community that anyone, who complies with the laws otherwise, may conduct a saloon. This being the case then all that. one. who loses his rights to sell liquor need do, assuming a valid petition of general consent is effective, is to comply wnn the law's provisions so far as they affect him personally.

The attorneys interested in the case expect to secure a copy of the opinion in a couple of days, and more about the details will be learned at that time. Decision Affects 21 Cases The contempt cases resulted when twenty-two saloons resumed business after the keeper had been enjoined and the building closed by the court. The decision affects 21 cases in addition to Rink, five of which were against the Hawkeye Realty and four against the Independent Real Estate Co. The rest were against individuals. In the cases brought against the real estate firms, the charge was that; they had leased to other parties after the building had been closed.

The two firms were made a party to the injunction suits brought against the saloon keepers to whom they had leased SEE OUR WINDOW DISPLAY If you arc interested in our distribution of FREE Groceries And vco take this occasion to thank our friends who called on us in such large numbers last even ing.

care Times. I Home on East Fourteenth Street A rioneer of the City Mrs Cordelia Donaldson, will com plete her I'fith year tomorrow, and will pass the day quietly at her home at 1023 East Fourteenth street. Cordelia Borthwick was born Nov. 2n, 1819, in Albany county, N. on the farm of her grandfather, James Borthwick, who came from Dumfries, Scotland, in 1773.

The family later moved to within two miles of Albany, where she lived and was married to Gerrit Donaldson. In the early '40's the couple decided to come to Iowa and for many years their home was on a farm in Pleasant Valley, this county. In 1S8j they removed to Davenport. Mrs Donaldson retains all her faculties and recalls many incidents of pioneer days. She remembers when all of Davenport's business houses were on Front street, and but few residences as far out as Sixth street.

the buildings. After the enjoining or der it was alleged that the property was leased to other parties for the purpose of conducting a saloon. By doing this, it was set forth that they disregarded the court's order and were therefore in contempt. Besides the two cases against Rink here were cases against Jacob Eck- hardt, J. II.

Soil. John Gerken, Amelia Schernan, Adam Reiter, John Conklin, August Zoller, Moetzel Mutteran, Peter Bwichmann, John P. Mass, J. T. Eckmann and Leo Von Ilein.

Suits Brought hy Betty All of the suits were brought by H. B. Betty as attorney for the Civic Federation. The two original suits against Rink were based on charges that he sold liquor December 25, 1908, Christmas day. It was also alleged that he sold liquor through a back door and maintained a back room, all of which the Civic Federation set forth were in violation of the mulct law.

The restraining order was issued last January. Rink afterward secured a permit from the city council, posted bond for $3,000, secured a statement of consent from the property holders adjacent to his saloon at Fourth and LeClalre, and complied with all the other provisions of the mulct law with the exception of a new general statement of consent from a majority of legal voters as shown by the poll list of the last preceding election. Failing to meet this requirement it was set forth he had not replaced the authority which the enjoining order removed and was In contempt. Position of Federation The Civic Federation In the contempt case took the position that, ac cording to the Iowa prohibition law passed by the Twenty-first legislature the sale of liquor anywhere In Iowa is unlawful, but that, according to the Mulct law passed by the Twenty-fifth general assembly, persons may conduct saloons in cities under certain conditions, which the code specifies. It.

was contended that the provisions of the Mulct law served as bars to prosecution under the prohibition law; that so long as the saloon keeper complied with the Mulct law he could not be prosecuted under the prohibition law. The general statement of consent, according to the federation, was one of the bars that protects the saloon keeper and when this liar is removed the saloon keeper can not resume business because he has destroyed the privilege granted by the Mulct law. ReH'mcrer Sustains Betty Louis Block who was attorney for Rink, raised the point that the genera! statement of consent Is not necessary when a. permit is secured from the city council, because the statement of consent is only precedent to the permit, simply requesting the council to trant the permit and not in Itself granting the permit or authorizing the saloon. The council by granting the permit, the defense held, fulfilled the requirement of the law and legalized Rink's saloon.

The enjoining order, according to the defense, did not effect the renewal of the business, and Rink therefore could not be held in co! tempt. Judge Bollinger in his derision found fur the Civic Federation and upon agreement the fine was fixed at $-00 and costs, the minimum penalty. The case was taken on an appeal to the state supreme court jnd in iiii.nf the other cases it was agreed thnf the defendants would abide by the decision of the higher court and if Judge Bollinger was not reversed, the fine of $2U0 and costs would be paid.

BRYAN OUT FOR LOCAL OPTION Indications Are That He Will Oppose Saloon Keepers in the Future LINCOLN, Nov. 19. In an article which will appear In today's Com-incnfcr W. J.

Bryan takes a strong in opposition to the saloon and the liquor dealer and declares the term "personal liberty" to be a misnomer. The article is taken to forecast Mr Bryan's coming declaration for county option. The article says: "The liquor dealers, recognizing that their very obvious pecuniary interest would lessen the weight of any argument which they might publicly i advance, are making their fight, under cover of organizations purporting to represent those who use liquor. Many well-meaning men have been misled into believing that every attempt to lessen the evils of intemperance is a 'financial attack' on 'personal 'It is time the phase 'personal lib erty' were defined. What is meant by 'personal "Does it mean that a person has a right to drink in any quantity, any time and any place, no matter what injury he may inflict upon others? If not, with whom rests the right to fix limitations? "A drunken man Is a menace to the lives and property of those about him; have his neighbors no right to protect themselves? "A drunkard robs his wife and children, and he may finally make his family and himself a charge upon society.

Has society no right to protect Itself? "The saloon Is next of kin to the brothel and the gambling hall; It is a rendezvous for the criminal element and willing tool of corrupt politicians, lias not the body politic a right to protect itself from the demoralization which the saloon works? "The right to drink does not necessarily include the right to demand the establishment of a saloon. The right to drink is sutficiently protected by any arrangement that permits the reasonable use of liquor under reasonable conditions; and it must be remembered that the right to drink like any other right, can be forfeited."
