New Phase of Nicholson Law Unfolds in Saloon Case
Indianapolis August 8 The liquor license inspector for the school board argues Judge Collins cannot revoke the state license of a saloon keeper while the police court asserts authority under the Nicholson law to revoke all licenses after two violations.

Belzer says only the city license was touched. Stenfel’s license expires August 21. a reversal by the criminal court could save it, otherwise the license will be dead.
