WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-Pioneer
action in anticipating the possible
return Of beer and other alcoholic
beverages is beginning to be taken
by several states.
Legislatures meeting next month
will in many cases consider reg
ulatory measures to replace state
enforcement codes.
California already has prepared
definitely for the return Of in
%toxicating beverages, by prescribing
a method of sale in event of re-
peal. This was done at the recent
election, when the state enforce
ment act was repealed and pro-
visions for sale of intoxicants under
certain conditions substituted.
Some fifteen states have wiped
out state enforcement acts or are
in process Of doing so.
Applies Only to Intoxicants
In event of simple modification
of the Volstead act, restoring beer
and possibly wine, the California
control act would not apply, ac-
cording to the view reported to the
United States bureau in Sacra-
mento. 1t would apply only to in
%toXicants.
Whatever congress declared to be
mountaineering would be free of
regulation so tar as the new state
control act vas concerned. Some
counties and cities in California
still have regulations held over from
pre-prohibition days which could
be invoked.
q The California liquor control act
would prohibit saloons and public
bars, but would permit sale of
liquor in original packages when not
consumed on the premises. 1t also
provides that in hotels, boarding
houses, and restaurants, wine may

furnished in good faith.
Arizona's repeal of state enforce
ment in the last election would per-
init the sale of beer Immediately if
congress should legalize it.
Colorado Repeats Law
Colorado has repealed its state
prohibition laws, effective July l.
1888. Meantime, the legislature,
which meets in January, is expected
to adopt a new code to apply in the
event of modification or repeal.
Louisiana repealed it's state pro-
hibition laws in the recent election.
Immediately, Superintendent OF
Police George Reyer, New Orleans,
issued orders that there be no more

featuring liquor.

That IF" is mighty big
problem for Garibaldi, as Dusek
wants to put the Italian ION the
spot since losing that question
able decision to Garibadh sew
eral weeks back.
The first Garibaldi-Dusek meet
ing was one Of the widest ever
witnessed in a local wrestling
arena and fans are counting
upon a similar affair tonight.
Dusek was roughly handled by
Garibaldi and the Nebraskan
mailman plans to make amends
with his conqueror.
Garibaldi stands on the thresh-
old of local popularity. He first
spilled Dusek and then followed
up this conquest by pinning Fred
Grobmier's shoulders to the can
vas. Now he has another oppor'
tunity of adding to his reputa-
ton, but perhaps Dusek may
jolt the Italians ambitions.
Local fans know that Carl
baldi can stand the "gaff." He
proved this beyond a shadow Of
doubt in his first match with
Dusek. He was the least ex-
hausted of the pair at the finish
and seemed to have strength left
to take another rugged opponent
