BONE-DRY LAW BFXAVr EF-
FECTIVE AT MIDNIGHT
LAST NIGHT
(By Associated Press.)
Austin, Texas, June 2f>.—T ev ^ he
came officially " dry" todry when a
Kill enacted bv a special session of the
legislature which prohibit?7 the man- j
ufacture or sale of intoxicants within
the state became a law. The remain-
ing saloons —numbering between 300
and 400. according to records in the
comptroller'* office wh'ch were outbid p
the limits prescribed by the 10-mile
zone around camnr of military in-
struction,1 are thus banished.
Notg.sa'oon. brewery or d'stillery
remains lawfully in operation in the
state.
Both interstate and intrastate ship-
ments of liquor are prohibited by an-
other law enacted by the legislature.
The only way any Texan can get liquor
without vio'ating the law is to go
ouf of the state, purchase it and bring
:t back himself for his personal use.
It is expected that constitutionality
of the law will be tested. But since
tFe higher courts of the state recess
for their summer vacation the last
of the present month, and do not con-
gene again until October, court action
designed to interrupt enforcement of
the law may not be taken for several
months.
i The chief contention against the
11 iw'g constitutionality is that it vio-
lates that provision which accords lo-
' eel option to counties.
The lav/ permits the use of alco-
holic stimulant* as medicines "in case
j of ec'tual sickness" if purchased on
| written prcscr ptior of a physician.
I lTso cf alcohrl also is peim'tted for
j sacramental, scientific or mechanical
purposes*.
Violat on of anv provision of the
1 ret constitutes a fe!ony r nd involves
a penitentiary :cnt nce of one to five
year3.
