Opium Seizure and Legal Actions Across Texas
Detectives Harvey and Long raided a Durango street house Sunday night, seizing opium and a complete hop layout and arresting the owner, a negro woman, who was turned over to federal authorities Monday. This marks the third such seizure since the new federal opium law took effect January 14, with penalties including heavy fines and up to five years in prison. Gas franchise injunction case looms in Waco as Judge Munro reviews whether to block Mayor Mackey and city commissioners from rescinding a October franchise granting G. W. Stough rights to lay gas pipes. In Austin, the attorney general advises the prison department that funds taken from prisoners belong to the prison system and must be used for the prisoners, with misuse punishable by up to five years in prison. West Texas enjoyed excellent rains, aiding crops in the area around San Angelo.
