lily in Response to Public Clam
or For Relief--Woman Attacked
in Her Kitchen.

Pittsburg, Pa with three MUIR
ders, six hold-ups and an attempt at
crucifxion marking the criminal rec
ord of twenty-four hours, and al
most 200 burglarles and hold-ups
listed on the police records within
two weeks. this city was In the throes
Of the biggest criminal wave in its
history. The residents are terror
stricken, and 100 additional police
men were put on duty and several
vigilance committees were organized.
The latest hold-up was committed
when Mrs. A. G. Boykin, wealthy
woman, Of No 27O9 Wylie avenue,
was assaulted and robbed by thugs
before large crowd of men and
women in the heart of the business
section Of the city and within a
stones throw from the Central Po-
lice Station as she stepped out of a
large department store.
Fully a hundred men and women
saw the robbery, yet not one Of them
interfered They stood in open
mouthed establishment at the temer-
the robbers to escape without maxi
ing the slightest move to stop them.
The crime, coming on top of the 9TH
ers. stirred the city to such an extent
that the Common Council at once
voted to put on the extra policemen.
The East Board of Trade appointed
vigilance committee that will pa
troll the East End, and instructions
have been given to the members of
the committee to shoot first and ask
questions afterward
So frightened are the inhabitants
here that few women were seen in
the streets. No woman dares walk
through a dark street unless she is
accompanied by two or three men,
and even in the daytime women fear
to go out alone.
The greatest anger was aroused by
the attempt to cruelty Mrs. Jean
Mitchell, nineteen years old, in her
home in Forbes street. She entered
the kitchen of her home and as she
did so she was struck on the head
with a Ratchet. Two men showed
her against the draining board of the
sink and nailed her hands to the
board. They were about to nail her
feet to the floor when noise in the
hallway frightened the men and they
escaped. Word was received that
the woman's husband was arrested In
Canton, Ohio, on a charge of know
ing something about the crime, but
he said he had been in that city for
a year and that he could prove an
alibi. He also said he was willing to
come to this city without requisition
papers.

an American President outside OF the

successfully ended when the battle-
ship Louisiana, having on board Pres

dropped anchor in the harbor of
Colon The Louisiana which arrived
ahead of schedule time, was conveyed
by the Tennessee and the Washing

about mile from the landing in a

welcome. He said he proposed to
look into the jamaican labor ques-

good many common sense sugges-
lions in it. One of the best concerns
the entree, about which the fashion
is changing Fresh mushrooms in
season are served as an entree, SO is
asparagus. SO is spinach, in a soufiie,
in timbales or moulded So is cauli-
flower, with good sauce, or mac
aroni or spaghetti, prepared in some
appetizing way Spaghetti au gratin,
with chutney, makes a delicious and
inexpensive entree. We are just be-
ginning to discern the possibilities
of the vegetable entree, so long
known by the French and the Ital-
ians. Such entrees are as a rule,
less expensive and less difficult than
the dishes of sweetbreads, game, and
poultry, that were once accepted as
almost the only possible entrees.

at Wednesdays session of the Macon
chamber of commerce will proceed at
once with plans for organizing a big
corporation for the purpose of putting
on three or four light boats for ser,
vice between Macon and Brunswick.
"It was deemed wise to discuss the
difference between rne Southern rail
way and the Mallory line of steamers
and proceed with the plans for an in
dependent line with docks at Bruins
wick which are to be bought outright
and used by the Macon line of boats
Then, too, it has been deemed neces-
sary to enlarge the carrying capacity

men here are elated over the PROPOSE
tion and will enter the movement with
great enterprise and determination.
"It was shown by reports of the

antee of per cent per annum proht

each steamer could show a net earning

was stated by Captain Ashmore. who
has been operating the Nan Elizabeth

yided night crews are used and that
the trip up stream can be made In
four and half days with the same
equipment, making seven days for ac-
tual running time in round trip. AL
lowing three days for loading and un-
loading would give a round trip for
each steamer every ten days"

%, will close in all of the counties

big rush to get qualified voters to

Here in Glynn there has been little
doing since the county primary, only
about 100 having registered Nearly
every voter eligible qualified in time
to vote In the county primary, and
therefore not very many were left
it not being necessary to again quail

However the friends of the different
gubernatorial candidates have been
busy for the past few weeks and A
few names have been added to the
list.
The books will close this afternoon

New Law toPrOhibit Feeble
Calling Up for Their
Booze
AN INTERESTING DECISION
Georgia Supreme Court Decided that
it is Not Unlawfu. to Solicit
Business in Dry Counties
Over the Phone.

Some interesting legal points have
been brought out by the state SUI
prcme court in the case of Moore yer,
sus the state, convicted in the Crisp
county superior court of soliciting pur-
chases of intoxicating liquors by tel.
.ephone and with selling whiskey with
out a license. In rendering n dccis,
ion the supreme court reverses the
decision of the lower court.
According to the decision the sale
of intoXi,ants is prohibited in Crisp
county tie same as Dooly county foi
the reason that Dooly county was
prohibition county when Crisp was
created. and the same laws apply to
the new county as well as the oil /
from which it was created; person
therefore cannot be convicted of sell.
ing whiskey without a license in the
County of Crisp for, the reason that
it is prohibition county and no H.
censes are granted; the taking of or.
ders by means of a telephone, an in
animate instumentality cannot be
considered a solicitation.
Moore was arraigned on two counts
The first charged that he was guilty
of soliciting orders from Cordele and
Coney, in Crisp county, by means OF
telephone line to his place of bus,
mess at DeSota Sumter county. The
second that he was guilty of selling
intoXicants in Crisp county withou7
a license
The decision, which was written by
Justice Evans calls attention to the
fact that more legislation is needed
to prohibit inanimate agencies of in
suumentalites from being allowed to
be exercised in instances where the
statute only makes penal the solcita-
ticn OF orders for liquors by any per-
son personally or by agent. Repre-
sentative j. +. Hill and James Tay-
lor represent, the plaintiff in error,
