WILL TRAINS BE KEPT DRY?

Railroads Anxious About Effects of Local Option Laws. Indianapolis, May 14. Railroad companies are concerned as to the effect on their dining car service of the victories of the drys in county option elections in Indiana. Attorney General Bingham has received a letter from attorneys of Chicago, representing several railroads, asking if the state can issue a license for the sale of liquor on trains passing through dry counties. Last year nine companies took out the 11.000 license required by the state. This year so far only four have applied.
