16-YEAR REC N OF PROHIBITION ALMOST EXPIRES
Dimond Prohibition Repeal Becomes Law - Board
 Ready to Issue Rules
SALE WILL BE LEGAL
 IN ABOUT TEN DAYS
No Regulations Yet An nounced, but Most of
 Program Is Arranged

President Roosevelt, short ly after his return to his desk today, affixed his signature to the D m on d Prohibition Repeal bill, thus sounding the death knell to the farciciaI dry regime that was born here on January 1, 1918. The final end of Prohibition, how ever, awaits the issuance of regulations by the Territorial Board of Liquor Control to legalize the manufacture, bar ter, sale and possession of alcoholic beverages.
 While no official announce ment was forthcoming on that subject, it was said un- officially that within ten days legal traffic in liquor would be resumed. The regulations of the Board are expected to be announced within a day or so.
 Meeting This Afternoon
 The members of the Board, which did not legally come into existence until the Presi- dent signed the bill, have been meeting daily since early this week. It went into ses- sion at 2 pm. today in what is it's first official session. All members-Gov. John w. Troy, Chairman, w. G. Smith, Frank A. Boyle, James s. Truitt and William A. Hesse were present. It was believ- ed it would be able to com plete it's regulations before adjournment this afternoon and have them ready for an- nouncement tomorrow.
 Members at previous sessions had discussed at some length the mat ter of fixing definite date for making the regulations effective. Since no alcoholic beverages can be sold legally until they are in effect, Prohibition will not pass from the scene until then. The sentiment seemed to be that sales

NEW YORK, April 13.-Re- ports from every part of the country this week brought uni form proofs of a further and definite upswing in business and industry, said the Dun- Bradstreet, Inc, weekly review issued today.
