“DRY” TOURISTS ARE DENIED LIQUOR. ____________ 6 El Paso, Texas, Dec. 25.—Hundreds of El Pasoans and tourists who planned to visit Juarez, Mexico, today, where liquors of all kinds can be bought, were turned back at the international bridge between the two cities. No temporary one day possports' were issued today and the only per- ] sons allowed to cross the Rio Grande , were those holding permanent pass-1 ports giving permission to enteri Mexico on Sundays and holidays. Whiskey could be obtained at ] prices varying from $5 to sls a quart here today |rom “bootleggers” if the seeker were known to be “all right.” Prices on the contraband liquor had risen sharply in price in the last few days because of four deaths due to shooting affrays connected with whiskey smuggling. Mexican fiscal guards late yesterday captured a quantity of liquor that was being started across the international boundary for Christmas sale.
