Alcohol Cases 24 54 Argued In Court
Salem Oregon March 25 Arguments were heard in mandamus proceedings brought by Wadhams & Co to force San Francisco & Pacific Steamship Co to deliver two barrels of ethyl alcohol for manufacturing extracts. Attorney General Brown said a ruling in favor would ease bootlegging. The shipper argued prohibition laws require alcohol for manufacturing to come from druggists and cited interstate commerce concerns. Brown noted druggists are easier to monitor than common carriers and warned a ruling could aid bootleggers.
