WILL KEEP RECORD
OF CRIMINALS
TRIED IN. CHATHAM COUNTY.
CHIEF DEPUTY SHERIFF SWEENY
TO START A CRIMINAL RECORD
BOOK.

Full Description of Every Criminal
Convicted VIII BE Recorded, To-
gether With Data About Crime,
TrinI and Sentence-PIan First
Thought of Because Judge Cam
Almost Invariably Wants to Know
IL q Defendant Has Ever Been
Previously Convicted.
Chief Deputy Sheriff Sweeny will
begin keeping a complete record of ev-
cry criminal case tried in either the
Superior or the City Court. Heretofore
a partial record has been kept, but
hereafter no case will be omitted. Spe-
cial books for keeping the records in
will be ordered.
Every person convicted of a crime in
either court will have his name record
ed in the book, together with a descrip-
ton of the person, the crime for which
posed. The book will be properly in
dexed not only by the correct names
of the criminals, but also by whatever
aliases they have used in the past.
Many of the offenders who appear be-
fore courts have been tried before,
though the officials now sometimes
have difficulty in establishing their
criminal record. 1t is to obviate this
that the criminal record book will be
started.
The records in the book will I'M
doubtedly effect the sentences that are
to be imposed in case the criminals
are again tried in this county. Judge
Cam almost invariably asks for the
record of a prisoner and his sentences
are usually light or heavy in proper
ton to the number of times the de-
PENDANT has before been convicted.
With a first offender he is almost in
Variably lenient.
1t was because Judge Cam almost
always called for the record of a pris-
oner that Chief Deputy Sheriff Sweeny
decided to start this book. 1t will be
of great assistance, however to the
deputy sheriffs in their work. When
ever they get a prisoner they will be
able to find out at once just what kind
he is. When a man escapes or is want
ed elsewhere, the information will also
be recorded. 1t is Mr.. Sewenys in
tention to make the record as complete
as possible. In some instances photos of
the criminals will be obtained.

SHOW AT CASINO
GOOD BUT SHORT.

management Announced That Long
err Bill Would Be on for Rest OF
Week.
The Stronghold Vaudeville Company
gave it's first show at the Casino last
night. before a fair audience. Rob-
erts, Hayes and Roberts In the first
number on the programme, were very
good. Roberts and his wife, did some
very clever dancing, the clog dancing
of the former being especially good
Hayes, a big six-footer who was made
up as a baby, made decided hit.
Boyce and Beeson, the black face
comedians, presented some good
songs, dances and jokes. Lionel
Stronghold, the headliner of the aggre-
cation, gave exhibitions of marvellous
strength.
The only criticism to be made of
the show is that it was too short.
This will be remedied tonight, the
management announced, by the addi-
tion of several acts by Stronghold
The company did not arrive in time
to arrange for these last night.

Mr.. A NJ. McPhail. trapsporta ton
agent of the Forepaugh & Sells Bros
show, is in the city for the purpose of
arranging with the railroads to handle
the show to and from Savannah.
Sometime during the latter part of DC
tober the show will be in Savannah.
1t will come here from Augusta over
the Central of Georgia and will leave
over the Coast Line for Charleston.
There will be two performances, aft
ernoon and night. In addition to the
attractions last year, the show has
added some which the management be-
lieve will be appreciated.
Our great feature this year is
'Prodigious Porthos,' +" said Mr.. Nc
Phail yesterday.
This feature consists of a ride down
an incline on a bicycle by Prodigious,
and leap through space over the
backs of ten elephants. Landing easily
on the opposite platform, the rider
skins along gracefully as far as the
momentum of the wheel carries him.
THE bicycle weighs ninety pounds
and is built solid. The rider comes
down an incline of about As degrees
for a distance of about 100 feet. Just
before the end of the ride is reached
the track curves upward.
When the rider leaves the track he
scars in a curve through space and
lands on platform the same hight
across the elephants. He calls the act
looping the gap.
There is also the loop the loop act,
the Hungarian acrobats, the Eddy fam
lily and other attractions too numerous
to mention. We have four more cars of
stuff than last year, largely animals.
L expect to return in a week or two
and the date for the show will be def
nitely announced"

DRAMATIC NOTES.

Frederic Belasco, now in New York.
has secured for Florence Roberts use
next season, a very startling dramatic
novelty that will reveal an entirely new
phase of her art. Great secrecy is be-
ing observed for time to prevent the
possibility of piratical infringement.
White Whittlesey makes his New
York debut in The Pit" on Feb. 10.
and will continue in the dramatzatiOn
of Frank Norris epic of the wheat pit
until he comes to California next sum-
mer to begin his long starring tour,

Soldiers of Fortune" in which Rob-
vt Edeson starred last season, has
been secured for the Pacific coast by
Eelasco and Mayer, and will be done at
the Alcazar, San Francisco during the
summer.
The wheel of the public thea trical
fancy revolves rapidly, and the old
est spokes are bound to come upper
most in the regular rotation. Just now
the popularity of the stock company is
receiving great impetus. New York.
as well as other cities, are growing
weary of show girls and spectacular
musical comedies. The more solid and
diversified entertainment of the stock
company is finding favor. San Fran
cisco is particularly loyal to the stock,
and the AlcaZar's season is nearing the
four hundredth consecutive week.
something unparalleled in the history
of American theatricals.
Belasco, Mayer and Price intend to
surround White Whittlesey with a fine
company, when they launch him as a
romantic star, and to give him q pow

his popularity was laid when he ac-
