CENI<S LIQUOR, BEER SALES PROMISE COURT BTL Defendants in No Man's Land Raid Cases Get Continuance at Initial Hearing Acting on orders of Lieut. James Meyering, county police Tuesdayý of last week:arrested four operators of barbecue stands and one 'operator of a liquor store in No Man's Land. The raid was a result of complaints miade officially by the Village boards of Winnetka, Kenilworth and Wil- mette to President Emmett Whealan of the Board of County commission- ers. Evidence of violations of the state liquor law had previously been secuned. Those taken into custody are:- Wil- j iam J. Murphy, 1420 Sheridan road; Villiam De Metre, Tenth street and' heridan' road; Frank Lulias, 1426 Sheridan road; Tom Anton, 1440 Sheridan road, and Hanry Pinocci, 936 Spanish court. Pinocci is the alieged operator of a liquor store. Continued to Augusi 13 The cases came up for preliminary hearing in the court of Justice A. L. Sengstock at Morton Grove on Mon- day. Pinocci sought and secured a sepanate trial, but action of the other four are joined. When the cases were caiied attorneys for the four barbecue stand operators asked and received a continuance, and the trial date was set for August 13. A ver- dict in the Pinocci case wiil be rein- dered Monday, August 6, pnovided tisnot dismnissed upon substantia- lion of the defendant's assertion that lie had ceased to seil liquor .ini his store when it became certain that the county comnîissioners would flot issue any license for such sales in New Trier township. Expect Court Battie As fan as the strategy of the de- fense bas been.revealed at th.is time, the indications point to a stiff court battie, ini which the iglit of the State of Illinois to enact a law .prohibiting the sale of 3.2 beer will be chalienged, and the status of those areas of New Trien township iying outside of any incorporated, village will be forced to a djudication., Lawyers .have been divided on the question of 32 beer. Whiie t he eighteenth amendment and the Volstead act were iaw, the congress iegalized 3.2 beer and de- clared ita non-intoxicating buverage. The Illinois state law defines ail malt bevena ges as intoxicating, and upon the. court decision covering -this knotty probiem will no doubt hinge the outcome of the cases. As for the overWhelming majonity pof New Trier township citizenry, their desires, made known in the ref- erendum elections of last spring, have not changed. Voting to prohibit the sale of both liquor and been, in, the incorporated villages as well as out- side of them, sayi their accredited spokesmen, they meant just that, and are flot minded to yield to the forces which would override them without a. fight to. the bitter end. And that is probabiy wbat is in the, offing. ICAMP SPEAKER .Tite Rev. J. H.
