BOTHERED ABOUT BUILDING LEASE
Saloon Men in Macon Greatly Dis
turbed.

MACON, GA, July 18.-Many saloon
keepers of Macon are wondering if
they will be shown any leni9ncy by
real estate dealers and property ow-
ners if the prohibition bill goes
through in the house of representa-
tives. In many cases the liquor men
held five and ten-year leases upon the
buildings they now occupy and if they
are forced to close up shop they will
want to go to other states. With a
long lease hanging over their heads
they will first be compelled to talk
business, with the owners.

WILL TACKLE THE SOFT DRINKS
Even Fountains May Fall Before
Prohibition.

Apropos of prohibition, word comes
from Washington that the Internal
Revenue Bureau has discovered that in
many of the so-called soft drinks dis
pensed from soda fountains there is
present alcohol in larger per cent. than
in the same sized drink of beer,
If the man with the soft thirst could
taken deep draught from the onyx
covered receptacles in which certain
extracts and essences are conceded in
soda fountains, he would consume q
drink probably from 40 to go per cent.
/ alcohol.
With the addition of fzz and the
other things that are artfully welded to
make soft drink the percentage is cut
down considerably.
Local druggists, it is said, may ex-
lpect to hear that the internal revenue
officers have determined that mixer:
of these extracts and essences with car
donated water shall pay taxes for tht

Now the soda water man takes es
fsences, extracts and syrups containing
alcohol, and adds water to taste to pro
duce beverage.
! Now It is said that the internal reve
,nue commissioners will be instructed
to issue rules so worded as to compe
druggists who desire to use the alcoho
essences to become rectifiers and ais,
retail dealers in spirits.

TO TALK 1T
ALL OVER AGAIN
Hartman Case Puzzles
Teddy And Advisers
SUIT WOULD BE VERY DOUBTFUL
Division of Opinion As to Whether
The Agreement Between Union
Pacific and Southern Pacific
Can Be Dissolved.
SUIT WOULD BE VERY DOUBTFUL

! Washington, d. c., July l8.-There
is a strong probability that a con-
| fereuce will beIheld by administration
officials in the near future to decide
whether civil action shall be brought
in the Federal courts to dissolve the
alledged illegal merger of railroad
property cited in the report of the Inter
state Commerce Commission on the
| Hartman case.
All evidence collected by the Inter
state Commerce Commission during its
inquiry into the conduct and manage
ment of the railroads that comprise the
Hartman consolidation has been sub
mitted to the Attorney General. The
Hartman case, therefore, is still on the
governments hands.
In the opinion of many officials, the
government would not win in a pro-
ceeding having for its purpose the dis
solution of the agreement by which the
Union Pacific and the Southern Pacific
roads are operated under common
management.
Agreements Not in Restraint.
Some officials in Washineton-and
among them members of the Interstate
Commerce Commission-are of the
opinion that the contract or agreement
under which the Union Pacific and the
Southern Pacific are operated could
not be shown to be unreasonable re-
straint of interstate trade, The same
thing is probably true, they say, IF
other mergers engineered by Hartman.
They regard the case against Mr..
Hartman as weak in many important
particulars, and argue that it would be
risky proposition to take it into the
courts.
on the other hand, there are those in
authority who believe that Mr.. Harri-
mans management of his railroad prop
critics has been baneful in its effect
upon interstate trade, has eliminated
competition, and unreasonably affected
trade, and that it is the duty of the
government to institute proceedings to
break up the series of combinations
that Hartman has effected.
When Attorney General Bonaparte
comes to take up the matter with a
view to action he will be furnished
ith two conflicting opinions, and he
will find them in the Interstate Com
merce Commission, if he goes to that
body for advice. The commission ex-
perienced great difficulty in preparing |
the report which was given to the
public yesterday. The temperate tone
that lpervades the report does not re-
fleet in the slightest some of the state
ments that were made during the com
missions deliberations over this inn
pOrtant matter.

LET WE'LL TNouGH ALONE.

There i q disposition on the part Of
some people to stir up the Read case.
which ended Ia Chittenden county court
recently in the aequittal OF the respon-
dent OF the charge of cruelty 10 his
horse. The case takes on more impor-
lance because the respondent Is the hus-
band Of President Ida Read Of the State
"a. c. I. o.; and the charge Is still
made BY friends Of the latter that the
allegation Of cruelty was brought A.
mere persecution Of good woman and
her cause, in the hope OF entangling Mrs.
Read in n0isome case. Here, for in
stance, Is one statements IL seems a
shame that that poor old respectable
couple. Mr. and Mrs. Read, should be
bounded 10 distraction in their declining
years. lust because they drove a horse
with a caulked ankle once too often.
That gives expression 10 quite a bit Of
public opinion in some parts OF the
state. IL does seem shame that either
Mr.. or Mrs. Read should have been drag
aed into a case of this sort; but, ON the
other hand, II seems that there really
was no other way for the prosecuting
attorney than to try the case, on the
concentrations, which appeared to be
made in good faith. That thcre was
bounding on the part Of any witnesses
for the prosecution does not follow, al
though the prominence OF the people
might give color to such a belief. How
ever, The Times does not consider that
the prosecution was brought in that
spirit; and 1t furthermore believes that
since the court has acquitted the re-
spondent, the better way would be to
drop the discussion.
