CAN'T OPEN SALOONS
Two Injunctions Issued Friday In Texas Restraining Persons From
 Opening Saloons.

Austin, Texas, Oct. 25.-Granting by the district court here of two tenn porary injunctions restraining former Texas saloon men from selling intoxi- eating liquors were the only develop ments today in the statewide prohibi- tion situation ?
 Today's injunctions follow similar action in district court yesterday when four former, saloonists were perpetually enjoined from selling iq- uors, notwithstanding that the court of Criminal Appeals on Wednesday declared the statewide prohibition act unconstitutional.
 Attorney General B. F. Looney has not yet filed motion for rehearing on the opinion, declaring the state wide law unconstitutional, altho he has announced such a motion would be filed.
 The temporary injunctions issuer by District Court today restrain B. M Goodman of Bartlett and John Ford of Vinton, Ell Paso county, from selling intoxicants.
 Neither man had redeemed the un- used portion of their licenses issued before the statewide act became eff fective and Ford is reported to have reopened his saloon in Fl Paso coun. ty.
