LARGEST DRY CITY
Cleveland Will Have That
Honor After Midnight.
Ohio Is on Threshold of "LOng
DrOuth" Today.

Cleveland. o., May 26.-After mid
night Cleveland will be the largest
dry" city in the country. While
Saturday night marked the closing of
nearly twelve hundred Cleveland sa-
looms under the state law. there were
still fifty-eight saloons open for the
sale of liquor here today. Proprietors
of these had paid a fee of 1905 for the
privilege of remaining open one day,
the yearly license period having ended
last Saturday.

Columbus, o., May 26-Ohio today
was on the very threshold of the long
dry period.
Except for 163 saloons planted
about the state, Ohio had already en-
tered the long drouth, altho legally
prohibition isn't effective until mid
night.
Liquor buyers of the eleventh hour
variety were patronizing the 1913 deal
ers who had paid 1906 to remain
open on this final day of grace
Dry forces were concentrating to-
day at the reconvening of the legis-
lature. They will seek to get the as
sembly to pass an emergency act,
without which they insist it is impos-
sible to prosecute bootleggers.
The people voted the state dry. An
enforcement bill has passed both
houses and has been signed by the
governor. The emergency clause was
defeated. Therefore, it does not be-
come effective for ninety days
The state liquor licenses board has
sent inspectors to the large cities to
prevent opening of saloons tomorrow.
1t is believed the inspectors will prose-

the sale of liquor without licenses
