DOES WEBB LAW
APPLY INAHE STATE
MOOTED QUESTION
RAISED BY ACTION OF EXPRESS
COMPANIES IN ACCEPTING
SHIPMENTS.
STATUTE DIFFERENT FORM OTHER
Tennessee the Only Dry State in the
Union Having Four Mile Law and
This Law Fixes the Legal Status
Of Al, Sales.

l NASHVILLE, March 10.Does tn
webb law, prohibiting the shipmen
of liquor into dry territory for ur
lawful purposes, apply to Tennessee
This question has been raised by tn
action of express companies In re
ceiving liquor shipments to Tennes
see, while declining to receive sucf
shipments into other states.
According to prominent ofiicia
of the Southern Express Company
the company which he represents has
decided that the Webb bill is not ap
lplicable to Tennessee, and for this
reason liquor shipments are still be
ing received and delivered to con
signees.
1t is probable that test case to
determine the extent Of the Webb act
as it effects Tennessee, will be insti-
tuted at an early date, and it is fur
Their probable that supplementary
legislation restricting the sale of liq-
uor in the state will be introduced in
the present general assembly.
Gen. Jeff McCarn, one of the lead
ers of the prohibition movement, and
considered an authority on laws af-
fecting the liquor traffic, in discuss
ing the Webb bill Sunday night said:
The question raised by the action
of the express companies is an inter-
esting one. While | have not looked
into the Webb bill closely as it con-
Germs Tennessee, ! am of the opinion
that the action of the express compa-
MES is based on the fact that the pro-
hibition law in Tennessee is unique,
in that it merely forbids the sale of
liquor within four miles Of school
hous or church So far as l am in
formed the prohibition laws of Ala
bama, Kansas, Mississippi, Oklahoma
Maine and other dry states prevent
the sale of liquor at any place within
the state, and for this reason the
Webb law is already in effect there
without a question, where it is shown
that the shipment is made for unlaw
full purposes, and is not for individu-
al consumption.
ut is possible that the liquor deal
srs receiving consignments of liquor
from without the state will hold that
the location of the consignee must be
shown before the shipment can be
held to be in violation of the Webb
aw. In other words it may be nee
essary to show that the liquor is in
ended for sale within four miles of
/ schoolhouse, and until this fact is
established in every individual in
stance the express companies might |
De forced to accept shipments where |
he location Of the consignee was in
loubt. However. the purpose of the
shipment would be so notorious and |
obvious, that I do not believe that |
his contention will be upheld by the
courts
1.-The enactment Of search and
seizure Iawwould probably make the
of the Webb bill less
difficult" continued Gen. McCarn, |
but do not believe that such law
S absolutely imperative in order to
prevent the shipment of liquor into
his state"

Is spent in furious wind that seems
to blow almost straight ahead, while

Nevada is the best State

started on an era of prosperity and
development that a political revolu-
tion, an earthquake, and a dozen
cyclones could neither diminish
nor stop-There is an abundance
Of feed for cattle, horses and sheep
all over the State-The wool clip
is good and fair prices are offered
The mining situation was never
better-An unusual amount of
intelligent development work, is
being done, wild c4tting is almost
a thing of the past. and mining in
Nevada has been reduced to a
science; beneficial results are bound
to follow-The people are generally
happy prosperous and contented.
The Southern Pacific is a public
benefactor and the people ali over
the state are gradually taking our
side of the argument"
