THE ARID ERA NEAR
This is the start of the week of
weeks in the handling of liquors,
loth in thfi j.-.n<ang and in the
spring of r'.sm Vor future use.
The tele*.-iph alone can now stave
off the approaching July 1 brn.
Were it not for this invention nulli
fying space as an obstacle to quick
communication the clamping down of
the lid Tuesday of next week would
le a certainty. Congress has re
fused to aet'iii declaring demobiliza
tion complete, a measure necessary
to prevent eniorcerrti t of the "dry"
law. n^d it is t?u late no?/ or Pres
ident Wilson t^ uave time to reach
America ? before its coming, but the
cables may yet bring the needed
declaration from the President.
While the saloon is a thing of the
past, it may be truthfully said- that
that there has been no diminution
in the use 'of intoxicants in Alexan
dra since the Virginia law reguLi
ting the use of liquor went into ef
fect several years ago. Th? blot
ter of the Police Court shows there
have been more persons arrested for
drunkeness while the law has been
in effect than in past days when
liquor-selling was legal.
It is said that several hundred
{??bootleggei's," white and colored,
are operating in Alexandria, and
that while "the saloon no longer ex
j ists, intoxicants are disposed of as
:ever. Several persons 'will appear
before the grand jury of the Copora
tion Court next month to answeT
the charge of selling or transport
ing liquor.

Commits Suicide

Worrying over a warrant which

mechanic and employed in the ga
rage of his brother, H. H. Fronn.
