Rhode Islund No change made in state enforcement act passed two voars aco. A bill .to Hubmit tol the people the question of repeal oft the act passed the House this year but died later in committee- Pennsylvania A prohibition en forcement act, sponsored by Cover-1 nor Clifford; Pinchot, was enacted; by the Pennsylvania legislature. It repealed an enforcement law passed by tho 1U21 legislature, which provided a system of licenses for hotels, saloons and similar places, permitting them to sell beverages which came within the legal re quirement fixed by Congress. It also provided more stringent search and seizure and burden of proof sections than the old law. The 1923 legislature defeated ad ministration measures designed to license and regulate breweries and to control the manufacture ami sale of alcohol for commercial, scientific1 and medicinal purposes and refused, to grant $250,000 asked by the gov-1 ernor for "law enforcement" under' his personal direction. The $250, 000 was carried in the general np-j propriation bill, providing funds for' the ordinary ex-penses of the state: government, and was entirely inde- pendent of the prohibition enforce-; mcnt act itself. The manner in 1 which it was to be used, was not dis- i closed, other than that it was in tended for prohibition enforcement particularly. ANNUAL FISH FEED DATE IS NEXT r"-.L-v 2ml.

An effort towards ratification of the .Eighteenth Amendment was stopped by ruling that refusal to ratify bv a previous session ended the matter. The bills to repeal the liquor laws and to alter the alcoholic content in liquors were rejected on unfavorable committee reports with little con test. The proposed memorial to Con gress received much verbal atten tion, but few votes.
