New York June 21-A canvass by
the Associated Press of legislative
activity this year in the state law
making bodies Of the country, most
of which have adjourned for the
summer, shows that among the sub
jects which received notable atten-
tion was that Of the prohibition or
the regulation of the liquor traffic.
The legislatures of two states en-
acted statutory prohibition to be-
come effective this year, and eight
voted to subject the question of
statewide prohibition to referen-
dunn Of the people. or the latter.
two established statutory prohibi-
tion to become effective in the mean
time. Four states where prohibition
is already effective passed additional
restrictive laws and two of the FIVE
states, where, under constitutional al
amendment. prohibition Is to go in
to effect next year. enacted neces-
sary statutes for its enforcement.
In six of the so-called "wet" states,
statewide proposals met defeat. In
others questions of local option,
transportation and licensing were
acted upon
The two states where direct prohi-
bition laws were passed are Florida
and Alabama. Those whose legisla-
lures voted to submit the question
to the people are Idaho, Iowa, Mon
tana, South Carolina, South Dakota,
Utah Vermont and the territory Of
Alaska. In Iowa the legislature reso-
luton, according to the state con-
stitution, must be passed by the next
succeeding legislature, before peo-
pie can vote on it. but the state re-
turned to. statutory prohibition
, meanwhile. through the repeal Of the
so-called mulct law. Idaho was al
so made "dry" meanwhile through
statutory enactment. In Utah the
bill was vetoed by the Governor
after the legislature adjourned. In
South Carolina, the vote will be
taken at the election this year, in
Montana, South Dakota, Vermont
and Alaska in 1916: Idaho In 1917.
II will be thus seen that a measure
of the progress of the cause Of pro-
hibition the fifteen states already in
the ranks have this year been en-
forced by four and the Legislative
way cleared for four others, includ-
ing Alaska, to join. In the latter
event nearly half the country will
have placed the ban on the liquor
traffic.

feet October l and prohibits the sal

IN PANAMA HEREAFTER
(By Associated Press.)

Panama, June 1.-The beef con-
sumed in the Panama Canal Zone is
to be from cattle slaughtered here.
instead of dressed beef from the
United States. It has been ascer-
tanned that a saving Of from 10 to
20 per cent can thus be made. The
canal supply department has already
begun killing local cattle, in order to
test the quality of meat obtainable,
and it has further arranged to pur-
chase cattle in other parts of Central
America, and even South America.
I'd bring them to the isthmus for
final fattening and slaughter.
A cattle buyer. assigned to visit
the neighboring countries. will have
his purchases brought to the canal
and inspected by a veterinary SUR
geon, to prevent the introduction OF
diseased cattle. The latter official is
already on his way to the isthmus.

on the premises where sold. This
applies to restaurants. hotels and
clubs as we'll as saloons,
The Alabama law was passed over
the veto OF Governor Henderson. 1t

tion, the legislature enacted an anti
shipping law. which forbids the ship
ping to an individual Of more than
one gallow of liquor or so bottles
of beer a month. It's vitality was TAX

There was also passed, over the gov
ernor's veto, an act forbidding the
publication of liquor advertisements
in newspapers and periodicals, on
bill boards or in saloons. This was
also taken to the courts.
In Iowa. the repeal Of the mulch
law, under which communities by a
majority petition were allowed to
have saloons operated under mulct
tax, had the effect Of returning the
state to the statutory prohibition
which prevailed prior to the laws
enacted twelve years ago. Content
neither with this or the passage OF
the resolution for constitutional
prohibition amendment, the legisla-
ture also enacted eleven prohibition
enforcement bills.
In adopting statutory prohibition.

ment vote, Idaho enacted provision

Extra editions of local newspapers
early in the day stated unofficially
that Franks sentence had been COM
muted and crowds began to gather
at downtown street corners. The ar
rest of a man who attempted to dis
mount a policeman by seizing his
horses reins stirred one crowd to
excitement. But there was no evil
dence of violence. The speaker who
attempted to address the people from
the city hall steps was stopped by the
police.
Governor Slaton was at his coun-
try home when he announced his de-
cision. He also made a public state
ment explaining why he commuted
the sentence. In 1t he called special
attention to the intense feeling that
prevailed at the time of the trial of
