A PENALTY

MAKING Of BEER

Douglas, Ariz.,i Aug. 16.-Though
death has been the penalty pronounce
ed by General p. Elais Gales, COVER
nor Of Sonora, Mexico, for the making
or selling Of liquors in that state, pub
lie sentiment was 50 strongly against
the decree that, while arrests were be-
ing made in other. parts of the state,
in the capital, Hermosillo, recently
liquor never was more plentiful nor
cheaper since prohibition first went
into effect in 1915.
Americana reaching here recently
from Hermosillo said beer was being
sold at SIS gold q case Of so pints and
tequila was selling at IS a quart.
Not long ago, SO cases or 500 bot
ties Of teQuila, seized in all parts Of
Sonora, were publicly destroyed. The
liquor was poured into the gutter in
front Of the governors palace. Ameri-
cans who witnessed the destruction
said that-a number Of poems were on
hand with cups and when tho liquor
up enough to get riotously drunk.
During the period when the death
penalty was in force until it was re-
pealed early in July, not a single exe-
cution had taken place.
Adolfo de la Huerta, the governor
elect. and the state congress are re-
ported to be prepared early in Septem-
Der. when they take office, to put In
effect a law r%eopening saloons in So
nora for the sale of light wines and
beer. At present there are a number
Of buildings in Aqua Prieta, Naco and
Nogales, Sonora, being remodeled for
saloon purposes.
Mr.. de la Huerta is said to have
been approached recently by repre-
sentatives Of the people Of the Alamos
and Sahuaripa districts or counties,
with the petition that the manufacture
and sale Of mescal. distilled from the
Maguay, a species Of cactus, be per-
mitted.
