TESTING NEW LiQUOR LAW
ALBANY CASK CAKRIKD TO SU-PliEMK'tOlUT.
Validity of Ordinance Miiklns Con

Raids to Bo Tc.-ted.
ALBANY. Or.. Dec. 19. (Special.)
Albany's city ordinnnce which env
bodies the provisions of the state local
option llijuor law. and affords easier
methods of securing convictions for
violations than the state law, ia to be
tested in the State Circuit Court. At
torneys for Albert Peacock, who was
arrested and fined undfr the provisions
J of the ordinance, have given notice of
appeal from tho City Recorder's Court
to the State Circuit Court for Linn
Otinty. It is said tho legality of the
ordinance will be attacked in the
higher court.
1'nder the state law evidence of the
sales of liquor must be secured to in
sure convictions and prosecuting; of
ficers have encountered difficulty In
securing; verdicts of guilty before
Juries. Tho city ordinance provides
for the confiscation of liquor and makes
it evidence, so that when a big quan
tity of liquor is captured in the pos
session of an individual It Is very
strong circumstantial evidence that a
"blind pig" Is in operation. Since this
ordinance went Into effect local of
ficers have made three raids and have
secured the conviction of all of the
five men arrested in the raids.
Accordingly, if this city 'ordinance s
upheld In the courts It will afford of
ficers an opportunity to keep a close
watch on liquor vendors, and if it is
declared unconstitutional officers will
bo forced to secure specific evidence ot
sales to get coji viccions.
The Albany ordinance is very similar
to the "nuisance ordinance" In force in
Eucrene, and hence Is virtually on trial
in the courts now for the Eugene or
dinance was attacked and the matter
is now before the Supreme Court of
the state for docislon.
