Tennessee Prohibition Act Takes Effect Next Week
Nashville February 22 Special The nuisance act enforcing statewide prohibition goes into effect March 1, closing open saloons across Tennessee for the first time in state history. The measure, part of the Hooper force bills, backed by Governor Hooper, faced fierce scenes at the capitol with gunmen and riotous opposition, but passed in the second extraordinary session. The act empowers seizure of saloon property via court action, with bond requirements when ten citizens sue, signaling Memphis as the last holdout where bootleggers may operate under the new regime.
