Ho Is due In Sac ramento, where he will stop ten minutes, at 4:35 and Bhould reach San Francisco about 8 p. m. Holding that there la no law In this state which prohibits tho transporta tion of tplrltuous liquors from one part of the state to anothor, regard less of whether the territory Is "wet" or ."dry," Attorney-General Crawford yesterday furnished an opinion In re sponse to the request of the State Railroad Commission for logal Infor mation. The opinion came as a result of the governor urging the Railroad Commission to take up the question of shipment of liquor from wet to dry territory. Not only does the attorney-general hold that there Is no law prohibiting such shipments,, but he further holds that the uarrlers, under existing laws, are compelled to accept and make such shipments. However, he holds that If the ship ment Is made C. O. D. from wet to dry territory the sale Is not completed un til the carrier delivers the pnekage to the consignee and collects tho pur chase prlco. If that Is done thon tho carrlor and Its agent become guilty of a violation of the local option lnw through the sale of liquor In dry ter ritory. He states that It Is not strictly the duty of the Railroad Commission un der tho act creating that body to de termine and prosecute violations of the local option laws, but he stales that If the commission is requested by the executive, or othor officials, to In vestigate such ' violations It Is their duty to use their best efforts to ascer tain If the liquor laws have been vio lated.
