A.ONDAY NIGHT
Last Enactments of Special
Session of Legislature in
Force at Midnight.
9:30 CLOSING AND BLUE
SKY LAW IN FULL FORCE
Saloon Xeepen May Not Sell Liquor
Except at Own Bit No Ship-
ment! Permitted in Dry Territory
and Drag-gilts Art Restricted.
(Aliccialli Prist Rtpori )
AUSTIN. Txaa. November II Slx-
Iwn enactment of th special session of
th Thirty-third Legislature will b en-
tered on tht (tatut book on Monday
at midnight when as many new law
affecting vitally practically every Impor-
tant question in th State either directly
or Indirectly become effective.
Foremost among thoH lawa recently
enacted thai stood th teat of the vote
of both houee and then pawed through
th hands of th Governor to b filed ay
th Secretary of State and will become
possible of enforcement on Tuesday 1
th nw I 30 closing law. Under this
act. and th stringent Interpretations
placed threipon by th. Attorney (Jen-
eral's Department not only must tha
saloon or premise whereon tha Intox-
icating liquor are Mid b closed to th
public at it but th premise must b
absolutely closed and th bartender and
all help muat leave at that tlma. In hand-
ing down an opinion on this queitlon th
8tat Attorney General's Department doe
Bot pas upon th question but cites
numerous holdings of Supreme Courts of
other States that It Is the Intent of tha
law that no on b allowed on premises
closed by statute at a specified time.
ntlra Preml Must B Closed.
Th Attorney General has also construed
the law to mean thai bar having restau-
rant shoe shining parlor newspaper
stands ate. In connection at- copaaaWJ
Ing therewith In urh a manner that they
might be used for tha convenience of
those patronizing th bar. all must alao
be closed at the time specified. It la
not closing within the contemplation of
the law for curtain to be wrapped around
the bar. even though they are aecurely
fastened and no Ingres or egress per-
mitted. Th saloon proper must have a
substantial closing a permanent cloaing
tnd such aa would prevent Ingres and
egress to sal from the honse In which
the bar Is situated.
Saloon kesgiera may not make sale and
deliver the name for It 1 the holding
of the conrtM that the sale take place
where delivetv I made and saloon keep-
er ran make pales on their own premise
only.
Neither can saloon keepers make aalea
and dl!ver after hours although pur-
chases mode were made during logallied
hours
Liquor Shipment Regulations.
Thee are but a few of the salient fea-
tures of the 9:10 closing law. which aro
of no greater Importance than many of
the sections of the Allison liquor bill
which also passed the gauntlet of the last
Legislature and become effective on
Tuesday.
This latter law prohibiting both Inter
and Intrastate shipment Into local option
territory was a re-enactment of a former
law with many changes. The more ub-
itantlal changea were thoae prohibiting
the soliciting of orders by letter circu-
lar or In any other manner In dry ter-
ritory and making the penalty for such
offenses a felony. Stringent means for
the obtaining of alcohol by drug stores
and eleemosynary and educational Insti-
tution were set down with the proviso
that all order muat ba accompanied by
an affidavit showing the person Is enti-
tled to receive such shipment and that
the alcohol will not be used for the manu-
facture of Intoxicating liquors. These af-
fidavit must be filed with the District
Clerk together with a duplicate cony of
the order for tha alcohol.
Drug Stores May Secur Alcohol.
Th Allison bill does allow shipment of
intoxicating liquor to licensed drug store
In dry territory and allow person hav-
ing vineyards or manufacturing grape
juice to ahlp aame In wet territory' there-
by placing grape Juice in competition with
Intoxicating liquors. It further enact tha
Webb interstate shipment bill and pro-
vide fof the conviction for any violation
f any aectlon of the law upon the un-
upported evidence of an accomplice.
Aside from the criminal feature of the
law a penalty In th nature of a fine of
1500 to corporation for each offense la
also let down.
Together with these two bill affecting
n directly th prohibition and anti-pro
hlbltlon Interests of th. State two lawa
that com directly Under the Jurisdiction
of th. Department of Insurance and
Banking and th Secretary of State are
involved. These are th "blue ky law"
and the "building and loan bill."
No Appropriation for Extra Work.
It Is a noteworthy feature of both these
bills which created such debate In tha
respective housea of th. Legislature and
ultimately became lawa that neither car-
ries any appropriation and although tha
work on the department directly affect-
ad 1 doubled or ven tripled there I no
compensation allowed for the carrying out
af the Intention of the act.
Th building and loan law and Its poa-
aihle effect la entirely problematical.
There ta 0 record at ttila tfme of th
S umber of building and loan aaeociatlona
oing bualneaa aa corporations in this
State although the Secretary of State's
Department la compiling a list Tula law
provide for an annual Inspection of th
building and loan association by tha
State Department of Insurance and
Banking and a report to be mad an-
nually to the aame department. Thla
expense must be borne by tha companlea.

Tha work of the official was of a detail

THINK HUERTA
' MUST YIELD
Administration Has Adopted
Attitude of Waiting.
The Success Betels Financial
Straights and Lack of Support
Strengthens Confidence That
He Must Finally Yield.
Aitorittti Prtu Rtfrl.)
WASHINGTON November IS. Becre-
ary Bryan conferred at the White Houee
tonight with President Wilson on the
latest developments In th Mexican sit-
uation. They talked over menage re-
ceived from Charg O'Bhaughneaay and
dispatched some cablegrams to him after
the conference.
"We are not prepared to make any an-
nouncement" aald Mr. Bryan after-
ward. The official messages confirmed press
reports of ths forced resignation of Min-
ister Manuel Garxa Aldape who was en-
deavoring to persuade General Huerta to
resign. To official Washington this em-
phasised the difficulty of thoae who were
seeking to counsel Huerta to avert com-
plications with the United State. How.
ever. Jh confidence that Huerta will
have to yield la unshaken.
rVeparlng te Buy Arms.
The prospect that the embargo on arms
may be lifted during the coming week
Constltutionallet representatives here aay
has brightened conalderably and they are
eagerly preparing to buy large quantifies
of arms for quick ahlpment to the bor-
der. President Wilson and Secretary Bryan
still hope though that Huerta win eome
to terras without the necessity of such
measures ss lifting th embargo and It Is
likely that the American Government will
wait a few day for th effect of foreign
pressure before making any decisive
move forward In Ita policy.
The warning which haa been given te
British subjects to move out of Inaccessi-
ble towns was regarded by many sen-
vers ant with tha situation as likely to Im-
press Huerta that a drastlo policy against
him might be in prospect.
The continued success of the Consti-
tutionalists in th field the plan for
financial starvation are the factora which
the Washington Government believe In-
evitably will force Huerta out of power.
The attitude of the administration ap-
peared to be one of patient waiting for
thl result.
Th Mexican aenate'e Attitude.
Strongly reinforcing the pressure which
ha been brought to bear en Huerta from
the European Government tha latest
evidence of which was the effort of the
British Minister. Sir Lionel Carden. la
the unexpectedly Independent -attitude ot
the Mexican Senate. which h tem-
porarily at least defeated the purpose ef
General Huerta to convene the Mexican
Congress. The failure to aecure a. Quo-
rum m that .body la attributed to tbe
absence ot Cathollo Senators and there
la much curiosity to learn whether their
action In preventing a quorum resulted
from opposition to Huerta or was In
pursuance to that official' plana to post-
