Austin. Tex. Oct. 24.-The Texas
statewide prohibition law was ycster-
day declared unconstitutional in ma
jority opinion 10y the court Of criminal
appeals. One Judge dissented. The at
torney general stated that n motion Tor
rehearing would be filed. Controller
II. p. Terrell also stated that he Will
issue no permits to sell Intoxicating
liquors until the motion for rehearing
is disposed Of by the court Of crfmi-
nal appeals.
Ten days arc allowed for the fi1ine
Of the motion and technically the state
remains dry until then. However. II
is understood that some who have not
redeemed their licenses will open sa-
looms Immediately and take chances OF
being prosecuted.
None OF the larger cities Of Texas
will be affected by the decision. as the
ten mile zone law prevents the opening
of saloons in them. This law becomes
effective Immediately.
A law which went into effect at the
same time as did the statewide law
prevents the issuing Of licenses to sa-
looms outside OF Incorporated cities and
towns for retailing liquor. However,
whole sale houses, selling not less than
a gallon. may open in any wet terri
tory.
