EARLY TEXAS VOTE
FAv0RS PROHIBITION

DALLAS. Texas. May 26.-Com-
plete returns from more than one
half Of the state today showed that
the voters OF Texas in the election
Saturday probably had adopted
amendments to the state constitution
to provide prohibition OF the liquor
traffic and TO extend suffrage to
women. The vote was; For prohibition
S,695; against prohibition E.l42. For
suffrage: ss,ls3; against suffrage
sl,838. A proposition TO increase the
salary of the governor from $4,000 to
$4,000 a year was defeated. An
amendment to permit the state to ex-
tend its credit to aid in home build
ing appeared to have carried.

CODE
u IS SUGGESTED
Retailers Would Establish
Nv, Safety Zones Here,

Establishment OF safety 1ones and
limitations Of parking periods are
principal suggestions in . tentative
traffic ordinance presented TO the city
commissioners by a committee from
the Retail Merchants association
The committee suggests that safety
zones be created on Broadway. be
tween Grand avenue and Tenth street,
and on Main street and Grand ave-
nue., from Broadway TO Hudson. The
establishment Of the rones will per-
NIT automobiles to pass stationary
street cars.
The committee suggests that on
Grand avenue and Main, First, Sec.
ond and Third streets. automobiles be
parked diagonally. Parallel parking
Is suggested on north and south
streets. between Grand and Fourth
streets. Parking signs for guidance
OF motorists are requested.
The ordinance suggests a maxi
mum parking period OF two hours or
Main street, between Santa Fe and
Hudson avenue, and also on Harvey
Robinson and Broadway, between
Grand avenue and the Rock Island
tracks. A traffic man, empowered TO
check parking periods, is asked. The
city commissioners have not acted on
the suggestions, but will probably
adopt them with little revision.
