Texas Is Dry Today,
Although Liquor Men
Plan Attack on Law

Austin, Texas. June 26.-Texas IS
dry today. At midnight last night
the newly enacted statewide prohibi-
tion law became effective.
Never before has so vast a territory
been won 10 prohibition by a single
act Texas has 265,O0O square miles
OF territory.
The fight on prohibition in Texas
was won after years OF struggle The
first foothold prohibition secured was
when local option was adopted In
those days the prohibiuOnists were
local optiOnists, They urged that
every county be permitted 10 say
whether or not liquor should be sold
in that particular county.
Under the local option laws the
state went more than two-thirds dry.
Then there was a shifting. Anti-pro-
hibiti0nisrs became strong advocates
Of local option, while the prohibition
lists urged statewide prohibition Sew
eral times the question Of statewide
prohibition was before the people and
the legislature. Last March the legis-
lature adopted a statewide prohibit
tion bill Governor Hobby signed the
measure March o. In signing the bill
the governor said
Il approve this act, believing 10 Is.

JUST HOW DRY
I5THE STATE?
Does the Prohibition Act
Supercede Ten Mile
Law, Is Asked.

Whether The statewide prohibition
law supercedes the zone law, or spe-
officially, whether or not the provision
Of the zone law against bringing IL
quor into the ten mile zones FOR per
sonaI use is superseded by the new
law. which makes no such provision.
[ IS a mooted question, and Wednesday
county attorney w II. Fryer sent a
telegram 20 the state attorney gen
eral for a ruling.
Mr. Flyers attention had been
called TO a telegram received from
Austin by The Herald 20 the effect
that the attorney general had ruled
that the zone law was superseded. The
county attorney had received no such
Information. and personally was OF
opinion that all provisions OF both
the zone and shipping laws were still
in force
The Point IN Question.
TT the attorney general holds that
the zole law is not superseded IL viii
mean that liquors may not be carried
into the zone for personal Consump-
ten IL the zone law is not in force,
liquors may be brought in
Irrespective Of whether or not the
zone law is held 20 have been implied
" repealed or superseded, IL was said
at Nr. Fryer's office that under no
circumstances may liquors be kept at
any public or quasi-public place. but
under all laws. liquors may be kept
at private residences for private con-
sumption.
The point I'm question IS II liquors
may be brought into the territory at
all
saloons are Closed.
Licensed saloons went out OF busi-
ness in the state at midnight Tues
day, and so far as FL Paso county
was concerned. the exit was quiet.
Inside FL Paso city, and at county

might become too hilarious the last
night, and need the guidance OF Of
fiCers, had five deputies. assisted by
four provost guards, assigned TO this
duty. but they were not called on to
make any arrests.
The feature Of the last night was
the enormous consumption Of beer. At
il o'clock every saloon but one was
completely sold out OF the malt drinks.
and the crowd gathered at the last
stand, where all that was cold was
soon exhausted, and the last sad rites
