POLICE WERE KEPT BUSY


lanta, Ga. and some of them took
chances on being able TO evade arrest.
AS a consequence nine offenders We're
gathered in. Notwithstanding the police
precautions Inspector Lange is authori-
ty for the statement that there We're
more drunken men on the street yester-
day than there have been in some time.
He accounts for it by the fact that people
generally laid in a supply on Saturday
sufficient to keep them from being thirsty
until today. 1t is said that the beer
bottlers were kept busy on Saturday and
before night had sold all the stock they
had
People will have beer remarked the
Inspector this morning, IF they can't
get it on Sunday in saloons on draught,
they will buy it and have it sent home"
The continued enforcement of the Sun
day law is big boom for beer lbottlers,
and it will doubtless follow that many
men will invest money in the beer bottle
ing enterprise.
ITS an i'll wind etc., significantly re-
marked a bother this morning. In taking
in offenders yesterday the police and de-
tectives had unusual experiences. For
instance while John Allen of No. 123
Brunswick street was being removed to
the Gregory street station he claims that
a thief entered his saloon and emptied
the cash drawer which contained in the
ne;ghborhood of s15 Allen was taken
away before being allowed to secure his
place.
Shortly after midnight on Saturday
Sergeant John Cannon of the Seventh
street station in passing Thomas Muir
tlas saloon in Eleventh street, heard
the elinlzing of glasses inside The saloon
was closed and the shades tightly drawn,
but the proprietor had forgotten to close
the transom.
Cannon waited on the sidewalk about
five minutes and hearing the rattle of
cash and loud talking demanded admis-
sion- He raped on the door and in an
instant out went the lights. The talk
ing ceased. Cannon stood near the door
and heard the proprietor say
ITS a policeman. boys. and if you
viii keep quiet I will let you out when
he goes away"
Cannon, however, was in no hurry. He
again raped for admission and threat
ened to burst the door in.
Don't be alarmed, boys" he said en-
couraging.y ''he will go away soon.''
From that time until eight O'Clock in
