WOULD TAKE LIQUOR
 LICENSE FROM NEGROES

Emanuel Shine, the negro who paid inc city s2s for selling beer Sunday believes liquor licenses should not be sold to negroes. Shine Is a typical great big. black. sleek negro, possess ing the characteristic hearty laugh anu the dialect that attracts the attention of the whites long enough to listen to him.
 He called at the probate office yes- terday and, among other things, told Bernard Gaston that triggers" shouldn't be granted whiskey licenses. He keeps a store on Day street
 The police discovered that beer had been sold from the negro's place sun day. He was arrested and taken to the police station in the patrol wagon. When he reached police barracks what was his pleasant surprise to find that Nathan J. Greil had already made his bond.
 Manuel how did you like that ride in the Lucile7' interrupted Mir. Cas- ton while shine was trying to ex- plain.
 Tt was nice an cool; I 'njoyed it,F chuckied the happy store-keeper
 You know dem police wasn't ve'y genus" he continued, "an' I jest tell yer what 'joyed most It was when I got ter de police headquarters and dere wuz me bond already fixed up by Mir. Na'han Greil. Mir. Greil has sho made CT name wid me"
 'sBut, Manuel, about your selling beer?" asked Mn Gaston.
 "Tll tell yer how it wuz. De police, yer know. got CT spotter, reckon it's what yer call 'em. An de spotter dey give him CT marked dollar an he give it ter another nigger who comes and got de beer from me son.

 Well, suppose you might say 1t dat way. But I jes tell yer. ef had been white, I never would have give up twenty eight dollars, cause dey never could haze proved where I got dat dollar spoke .shimmering Shine.
 'Mr Gaston, I want ter tell yer. you white folks oughn't to sell niggers whiskey licenses" Shine continued. "Er nigger Is wuss off sellin' liquor. He's out uv a whole lot of money an he ain't made nuthin'. Here I am, has beer on my place an drinks 1t fer water. Elf I didn't have der beer I'd take the water. Oats de way it goes. J e&IN RMEfM |

No Free Transportation After September 8.
ACT UNDER AETLPAss LAW
Recognition That Street Cars Are
 Common Carriers.
Law h Question Was Passed by LesIs- iafure at Winter Session But Be- ing Penal is Not Yet
 Effective.

Acting upon the. general anti-pass law enacted by the Legislature at it's winter session. the Montgomery Trac- ton Company will. on September 8, ac- cording to announcement made yester- day decline to issue any more passes over its lines. or to recognize those passes which are now out.
 The antf-pass law, which 1t had been supposed applied only to railroad lines, prohibits by it's terms any common carrier, whether a corporation, associa- ton. partnership or person engaged in the business of a common carrier of passengers in this State" from giving or in any manner procuring free passes, tickets or free transportation of eny snsrs sind, aa TOT @ any person other than of- empted classes, largely consisting of those engaged in eleemosynary work.
 The Traction Company is common carrier said Attorney Rushton of the. Company yesterday, in discussing the announcement made by the Company,
 and l cannot see how we can avoid acting Tn sccofdance with the general
 The statute in question was enacted by the Legislature at It's winter ses- Siony and was approved by Governor Conner February l4. It provides severe penalties for any violations of the pro- visions of the act, ranging from a fine of $100 to $2,0o0, or Imprisonment for not to exceed six months, or both, at the discretion of the jury. The penalty is imposing alike npon any person is- suing or using free transportation.
 Being Q criminal statute, and con- tainIng no specific provision as to when it shall become effective, the act Is held. under the general constitutional provisions, to go Into effect thirty days after the final adjournment of the Leg islature. which will be September 8.
 The action of the Traction Company In announcing that it will abide by this enactment raises an interesting point About l. year ago, the Birmingham Street Railway Company insistently de- nied that tt was 8 common carrier, and therefore urged that 1t was not subject to the regulation of the State Railroad Commission.
 That Company has taken the same position with regard to free passes that hGs been taken by the Montgomery Traction Company, and the point ;5 made that if they recognize that they are common carriers, it will place them both under the regulation of the Rail- road Commission.
 It is recalled that at the summer ses- sion of the Legislature an anti-pass bill applicable only to the street car lines of the State was introduced in the House by Representative J. Lee Long, despite the passage at the win ter session of the general anti-pass law, applying to all common carriers"
 This measure was insistently urged, there being several lobbyists working for it. and 1t passed by the House. In the rush of the closing hours, however, the Senate did not act upon it.

he telegraphed to the latter's brother

protestations to the effect that he was
perfectly sane and knew what he was
about. Prior to being taken to the
sanitarium Mr.. Flath says he was con-
fined for nine days in the Guelph city
Jail without hearing, or a chance to
see anybody. During the time of his
incarceration in the sanitarium he
repeatedly sent for the American con-

him during his previous visit. 1t was
only with much difficulty and after all

he was at length able to possess him
self of copies of afidavits and other
papers having bearing upon his

order to get him out of the way made
an effort to have Mr.. Flath deported

this city less than two weeks since
