BONE DRY NOW IN
EFFECT IN STATE

WASHINGTON, March 3.-President
Wilson today signed the postal bill
with the bone dry" provision.
The bone dry provision became
effective when when President Wilson
signed the post-oflce bill. In six
states. Virginia, North and South
Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mis-
sissippi hereafter it will be unlawful
to import liquors. Arkansas and
Tennessee are already bone dry, while
Louisiana, Florida and Texas are un-
unaffected.
The effect of these measures will be
to prohibit the future sale of intoxi-
cants in the District of Columbia, as
well as the shipment of liquors into
the district. The Reed bone dry
amendment prohibits the shipment OF
liquor into dry territory anywhere n
the United States. as we'll as the dis
tribution by mail Of literature adver-
tising such liquors for sale. There
is difference of opinion as to when
the provisions of the amendment be-
come effective.
The Reed amendment, now a law,
says:
Whoever shall order, purchase or
cause intoxicating liquors to be trans
ported in interstate commerce, except
for scientific, sacremental medicinal
or mechanical purposes into any state
or territory, the laws of which state
OF territory prohibit the manufacture
or sale therein of intoxicating liquors
for beverage purposes, shall be pun
ished by fine of not more than ST.
600 or Imprisonment not more than
six months, or both, and for any sub
sequent offense shall be imprisoned .
