Prohibition Rules Effective At Once In Indiana
Indianapolis Feb 9 It became known that the entire prohibition law except two sections will take effect as soon as the governor promulgates the acts, likely in May. Two sections set dates for when prohibition of sale and manufacture begins and prevent liquor shipments. Attorney R Carl Minton says most of the law becomes effective promptly, with druggists barred from handling intoxicants except pure grain alcohol under strict regulation. The law also gives the attorney general power to file enforcement actions in any county and provides for impeachment of failing officials. Debates over saloon license rebates continue.
