 Law Hard to Enforce.
 Of the general prohibition law Mayor ". M. Teague of Montgomery says: 'aThe law seems to be weak in that it does not clearly define the right to raid place where liquor is known to be kept and sold. That the protection thrown around a man in his residence as his castle, I am satisfied cannot be invoked by one in the business of dispensing more or less suspicious drinks"
 A great trouble, the mayor finds, is the lack of public sentiment behind the act to enforce it. However, he has determined to do everything possible to have the acts kept and to close up the places in the city where drinks are sold. He had passed through the police commission a resolution to this effect and Chief Taylor has sent out the word to the men that they must see to 1t that the law is not violated.
