DRY LAW HELD ID BE CONSTITUTIONAL
 DESPITE DECISION Texas Attorney General Wires Railroads of State That IniunctiOns Are
 Still in Force

Austin, Tex, October 24-Warning to railroads that they cannot transport and deliver intoxicating liquors in Texas, and the holding of the Texas statewide pro- hibition law constitutional today by Judge George Calhoun in the Fifty-third district court, in spite of the decision yesterday by the court of criminal ap- peals that the law is unconstitutional, were developments today involved in the Texas prohibition situation
 Gov. W. P. Hobby, in 8 statement, said the wisdom of the 10-mile zone law was never more manifest than now" This zone law, which has been declared constitutional. prohibits sale or giving away of intoxicants within 10 miles of military or shipbuilding es- tabiishment and makes the larger cities of Texas "bone dry.''
 RAILROADS WARNED
 Tn a telegram to virtually every rail- road in Texas, Attorney General B. F. Loony today pointed out that the opinion of the court of criminal appeals, de- claring the statewide law unconstftu- tional Is applicable only in so far as the law prohibited the sale of liquor, and that no other feature of the law was affected by that decision. He warned tuo TdilrOauS LnaL lHJuIlCIlOLS lSSucu SSN- eral months ago in Travis county pro hibiting delivery and transportation of liquors still are in force.
 MT. Loony announced yesterday he would file a motion for rehearing of the court of criminal appeals decision.
 HOLDS LAW VALID
 Judge Calhoun, in the Fifty-third dis trict court here, declared the statewide law constitutional. This holding was in two cases each from Bexar and Travis counties, in which temporary injunc- tions had been issued prohibiting the sale of liquors within 10 miles of a military camp in violation of the zone law. When the statewide prohibition bill became effective the state amended its petition to bring the case under that law. Judge Calhoun today perpetuated the injunctions.
 No announcements were made as to whether these cases would be appealed.
 Should appeals be filed the court of civil appeals and the supreme court of Texas would be given opportunity to pass on the constitutionalty of the state wide act.

Washington, October 24.-(Special)
 Instead of one doubtful district in
 Alabama, there are now two, accord-
 ing to sentiment prevailing in Ala
 bama circles in Washington today.
 Representative Burnett has always
 had trouble, and in the present cam
 paign he is opposed by o. D. Street,
 admittedly an able man. Representa-
 tive Huddleston, in the normally dem
 ocratic district of Jefferson county,
 has his hands full, it is reported here,
 on account of the fact that while he,
 himself, is not regarded by President
 Wilson as his friend and supporter in
 the time of war. his opponent, J. Q.
 Thompson is admittedly a true and real American.
 During the recess on which the
 House has now entered, these two Ala
 bamians may be counted upon to be- stir themselves in their own behalf The defection of many democrats from
 Huddleston to Thompson, caused by the allegation of the President that the fromer opposed in all ways the a6- ministration since the beginning of the war. has caused the Birmingham dis trict to be regarded nationally in a new light. This is accentuated in the fact that MT. Thompson has declared his purpose to refrain from any par tisan act or vote as long as the war continues, a declaration which is taken to mean that he will stand by the Pres- ident in the organization of the next House.
 Other Alabamians will spend the va cation in various ways. Senator Bank head will remain in Washington In charge of the Senate during the ab- sence of President Pro Tenn Walsh, who has campaign. Senator Under wood contemplates a visit to Birming- ham. In Alabama at present are Rep resentatives Blackmon, Almon and Steagall. Representative Oliver has
 been unable to leave on account of ill., ness of his clerks. Representative Dent intends reaching Montgomery be- fore November 1.
 Representative Heflin will deliver democratic campaign speeches in North Carolina. Kentucky and Missouri. HOME-COMERS DO NOT CHEER Washington, October 24.-(Special.J J Home coming troops do not cheer the stalue or the Goddess Of Liberty. On sight of land the heroes do not give vent to enthusiasm or joy. They remain silent.
 | According to Maj John A. Fillmore of
 Montgomery, who along with 50 other
 American officers recently returned from I lover there," a good reason exists for the silence of the soldiers. They are ltoo happy for cheers-or for words. They l feel more inclined to emulate the ex- ample of the sailors under Columbus. who after their perilous voyage, fell on their knees and kissed the earth. "As we came within sight of the mon-

Music Thrives
In Brooklyn
By Robert w. Connor, Director Brook
lyn Academy of Musical Art

The Borough of Brooklyn is pre-
eninently the nucleus of musical ac-
tivities for the worlds metropolis.
" Nhile each local center is musically,
perhaps. as diverse as those in sep
arate cities, yet the Institute of Arts
and Sciences, through its Department
OF Music, amalgamates the music
levers into q fine, representative body.
It's influence is felt in every COM
munity, for music is the universal
language regardless of racial tongue.
The concerts given have served two
purposes in music, the presentation
of the best compositions and instruc-
tion concerning the aims for which
different classes of music have been
composed and the means by which the
composer has reached his results.
The medium employed, orchestral,
choral and chamber music concerts,
together with organ, piano, violin and
rGGitals, have broadly educated Brook
lynites in musical feeling and appre-
citation. The borough can also boast
of several composers Of no mean
merit, their range of composition in
Guiding both church and secular music.
The revival of community singing
has brought about a deeper appre-
citation of vocal music. No race wars
can exist where a cosmopolitan people
sing together.
Brooklyn is we'll supplied with
schools of music and conservatories
offering efficient corps of teachers in
all branches of the art; outside Of
these are found private instructors,
many of exceptional ability. Concerts
and recitals given from time to time
encourage a competition on the part

they will welcome the day when they

pleasure and privilege to accept an

teacher to be eliminated; that there

results may be expected.

The United States is doing so many
things regarding government control
that l hope the day is not far distant
when the teaching of music will bear
the label "Undcr government control"
That such an undertaking at this war
time is impossible no one appreciates
moro than do I, but when the great re-
construction comes hope and pray
that rusic from the educational stand
point, and for the protection of the
music student. will receive its just con-
sideration. Doctors, lawyers or dentists
cannot practise their profession in any
state Of the Union until they have
der to secure this license they must
pass rigid examination as to their
ability and education. Not so with the
music teacher; and when say music

particularly to voice teachers, as my
experience in the music world has
brought me in closer touch with them
than with any other line Of the teach
ing profession. In my thirty-five years
Of operate endeavors l have come in

teachers who should have been shot at
sun rise or confined in the peniten-
tiary for life for the crimes they have
committed. 1 say crimes, and mean it
literally, for where is there a greater
crime than to ruin voice, O gift which
