WET RHODE ISLAND GOES
ON LAST WEEKEND SPREE

PROVIDENCE. r. l., May L.
Rhode Island, the only wet State in
the Unioh-where there is no Vol
stead law-was recovering today
from one wild, wet night Saturday
night, expected to be the last wet
Saturday night before prohibition
goes into effect in this State.
Governor San Souci was the most
popular man in the State, because IL
was through him that the State had
n wet Saturday night. The governor
failed to sign the prohibition enfOI ce-
ment bill on Saturday, thus postpon'
ing for three days at least the time
when certain portions of Rhode
Island must go dry.
Local police OF Rhode Island can
DO nothing to enforce the Federal
prohibition law, because there Is no
State enforcement law. and tho tive
Federal dry officers cannot cover
every part of the State.
