 Little Rock-All of Arkansas be came dry as the year 1913 passed into history and during the first days Of l9li all the saloons in the state were closed for the first time on record. The closing of the saloons was due to the operation of the Going act which became effective January l and which provides that licenses to sell liquor shall be granted only after pc titions signed by a majority of the white adult residents of the city where the license is desired. have been pre- scented to the county judge.
 During the time required 10 publish these petitions and secure action upon them by the county judges the saloons were closed in Little Rock Argenta, Fort smith, Hope. Hot Springs, Pine Bluff and other cities where they have been liceased.
 Prohibition forces opposed the granting of licenses in all cities where petitions were filed and court pro ceedings were expected to result, whatever the decisions rendered by the various county judges. County Judge Asher of Pulaski county, pass ing upon petitions filed by Argenta liquor men, ruled that petitions must be published twice and that ten days must then elapse before they can be acted upon by him. This means that saloons will be closed in Little Rock and Argenta for two weeks at least dependent upon the position taken by the various county judges.
