BILL REGULATING
LIQUOR SHIPPING
GOES FAR TOWARD
MAKING STATE DRY
Measure introduced In Senate
By Messrs. Mapp and
@ Buchanan Limits All Ship
ments to One Gallon.
When Shipment Is Made Con-
signee Must Sign Statement
Before Liquor is re ivered-
Heavy Penalties Provided
For Violations.


Should the bill which has been pre-
sehted IN the senate by Senators Mapp
and Buchanan become Law there Is
nothing to prevent the State from be-
coming dry enough within short time
to suit the view of the most ardent
dry man any State has ever boasted
The interesting feature in connec-
uon with the measure Is That II meets
the hearty endorsement OF some or the
wet members OF Inc geneFat assembly,
and II II is enacted 1t is believed that
II viii be made an emergency measure.
that is. that 1t shall become operative
at once. This would have the effect
Of putting practical prohibition into
effect at once, ard in every section
there would be a chance to see just
: what would be the effect of the enact
ment of prohibitory regulations re-
gardinE the sale or liquor.
The provisions of the bill have been
carefully considered by lawyers OF
ability. 1t has been carefully drawn
and there is no chance to escape pun
! ishment If the officers but attend 10
their duty, a thing which they will be
sworn to do.
