TEXAS BILL MAY
PRECLUDE ITS SALE

AUSTIN, Tex, April 6.-Should a
bill introduced by Representative Mason
and already reported on favorably by
the house committee on liquor traffic be
enacted into a law by the state assem-
bly,, what is captioned a bill to regulate
the sale of liquor would, because of its
drastic provisions, practically preclude
the sale of whisky or malt beverages.
According to the bill liquor shall not
be sold in quantities less than quart
and must not be consumed on the prem
ises at place of sale, dealers in malt
liquors must pay the same license as
dealers in whisky, and classes as felon-
les all violations of local option laws.
The report of the committee on liquor
traffic was unanimous and proponents OF
the measure declare they will have q
large following in both branches of the
legislature.

FIGHT is
EXPECTED IN FLORIDA

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, April 6-With a
possible prohibition battle in prospect
the Florida legislature convened here
this afternoon. Although the prohibition
forces have waged a vigorous campaign,
their opponents hope to block all dry
legislation from outset, and the organi-
cation of the two houses will furnish the
first clash between the liquor forces and
their opponents.
The vets are confident of controll-
ing the legislature, but the fact that
Floridas proximity to prohibition states
has caused large liquor trade to grow up
within the states makes the fight of the
prohibitionists of considerable moment.
Convict labor and the treatment of wo-
men prisoners will come before the pres
ent session. A movement has started to
abolish all unnecessary rigor in handling
women, especially reported cases of put
ting them in iron shackles.
