Indiana Goes
Bone Dry; $500
Saloons Closed

INDIANAPOLIS, April 2.-Indiana
became "dry" from border to Dor
der tonight at midnight. The state
wide prohibition law, so written that
Intoxicating liquor may not be manu-
featured. sold, given away or shipped
into the state except for medical and
sacramento purposes, took effect at
that hour.
Members of the Indi.na Anti-Saloon
League estimated that 3,400 saloons in
the state closed their doors. They cs-
timated that thirty brewcrics in the
twelve to fifteen distillcries. The
amount Of money, the league members
say, that has been spent annually for
Intoxicating liquor in the state is $25,-
600 600
The closing Of all places where lq-
uor might be purchased followed siren
uous efforts of the "wets' to have the
law declared unconstitutional. The
Indi-na Supreme Court heard oral ar
gumcnts in two cases involving the
law to-day, but no decision was rem
dered. In one case suit filed by
saloon men in Lake County. which re<
suited in the law being declared con-
stitutional by the county judge, the
oral arguments were heard before
briefs were filed. The court intmatcd
that an order Will be made giving
until Thursday of next week for the
written briefs to be placed on file.
The contention of the saloon men in
the Lake County case was that the
law gives q monopoly of the liquor
business to pharmacists and therefore
is unconstitutional.
The other case argued originated in
Evansville, resulting in the law being
declared unconstitutional. 1t was filed
by brewing company and presented
the attack on the law from the stand
point of the manufacturer
