Asheville, n. c., Dec. 21.-The in
vestigation by the county commission
ers OF alleged violations Of the liquor
laws was continued throughout the
day and some evidence of very dam
aging character to some of the prin-
cipai saloonists of the city was adj
duced. The applications of Pat Nc
Intyre. proprietor of a South Main
street saloon, and Frank Loughran
proprietor of the Swannanoa Bar. and
the Berkley Wine Room. were consid-
cred. and many witnesses were intro
duced to show that beer or liquor had
been sold from these establishments to
women of the town.
The star witness in the proceedings
against Mcintyre was Wiley +. Black,
proprietor of the Laurel Valley Saloon,
whose application for license was re-
fused because of these Irregularities.
Mr.. Black at first refused to testify
on the ground that he might incrim-
mate himself. but after he had beer
involved beyond repair " o;ner wit
nesses he went on the stand and told
the whole story.
1t seemed that orders for beer were
phoned to Blacks saloon and that he
in turn ordered the beer from Nc
thereupon sent the beer to the Laurel
Valley, whence it was conveyed to the
bawdy housekeepers. The witness
said that it was agreed to work up
trade i'm the bawdy house section and
that the witness received 81 commits
sion of every barrel of beer sold which
was purchased from Mr.. Mcintyre S
place. He said that Mr.. Mcintyre
knew where the beer was going, that
he had asked witness to help get the
trade away from John Lange. another
saloonist. Women also testified that
they had been allowed to purchase
liquor at the Swannanoa Bar and the
Berkeley Bar The opinion has been
expressed that if the commissioners
adhere to their determination of with
holding license from the establish
ments guilty of this practice there
will be not more than three saloons
left in Asheville.
1t was stated today on authority
that the Southern Railway will con-
struct a road from the terminal of the
Pennsylvania road at Toxaway to SEN
eca, S. c.. thus shortening the distance
from Asheville to Atlanta by about so
miles. 1t is believed that work on the
proposed road from Rossman to Sen
cca, a distance of about 40 miles, will
be begun at once. When the road is
completed through trains will be run
that way from Asheville to Atlanta
and it is stated that the road by Sa-
luda Mountain and Spartanburg will
be discarded.
Traffic over the road between Ashe-
vile and MOrristown has been delayed
by freight wreck near Marshall this
afternoon. Four cars were derailed
from some unknown cause. One man
was injured. but not seriously.

A STRONG PERFORMANCE.
Suzanne Santje And Able Support in
Sowing the Wind Won the
Audience.

Suzanne Santje is an actress that
Raleigh wants to remember it she
comes this way again, for seldom has
a, more capable young woman been
seen on the stage here. At the Acad-
envy of Music last night as Rosa
mond' in Sowing the Wind" she won
round after round of merited applause
by her exquisite portrayal of the char
acter she assumed, the gradationS from
scene to scene being excellent, and
reaching a dramatic climax of strong
tragic power at the close of the third
act in the passage between herself
and Mr.. Edward II. Mawson. who APP
peared as Mr.. Brabazon.
Miss Santje was splendid in her
work, as was Mr.. MaWson, whose abil-
ity makes much for the success of
Sowing the Wind" which is a play
that is burning in it's intensity and
which, though it tells of dead ashes of
the past. yet ends with the flavor of
better days to come. The entire COM
pany is a worthy one, and the cast is
most appropriately made. The cos
tuning of a by-gOne age is attractive,
and the whole play is one that holds
an audience from curtain to curtain,
while Miss Santje attracts both by her
beauty and ability as an emotional
actress.
The company had the misfortune to
reach here on the delayed Southern
train from Greensboro, which did not
arrive till eight o'clock. four hours
late, and hence had the handicap of
a late start. with no rest after a tedi-
Gus trip. Yet with this there was no
jar in the performance which was
smooth and artistic throughout, SO ex-
cellent that it is to be ranked as
among the best performances seen
here, worthy of the best patronage and
houses to the capacity limit.
