Death WATCHES
IN THE SALOONS
FOR OLD YEAR

Atlanta, Ga. Jan. with death
watches held in the saloons and praise

prohibition became effective. thus full
filling the desire OF the founders of the
colony who. in establishing II. declared
that rum and slavery should forever be
put outside Its borders, but who soon
found themselves unable to enforce either
provision.
The scenes I'm the saloons as tho hour
for closing drew near were interesting.
Long before the midnight hour men
bought drinks aud stepped back from
the bar holding them In their hands
waiting for the sound OF the clock. which
should announce that no more liquor
could be bought.
As tho hands OF watches and clocks
drew toward the hoN OF IL everybody
listened for the sound of the city clock.
AS the first stroke rang out there vas
many a jest and shout Of good cheer.
while glasses We're lifted and careful
count kept of the voice ot the clock.
and as the last stroke sounded glasses
Were emptied.
The crowds filed silently into the
streets. Soon the lights were out and sa-
looms passed into history.
There were vastly different scenes in
the churches, where hundreds OF those
who had worked for the cause OF prohibi-
ton gathered TO honor the New Years
advent The principal services were held
at the Baptist Tabernacle and the Wesley
Memorial Tabernacle. Camp meeting
hymns. halleluiahs and stirring addresses
filled the earlier hours, but there was the
greatest manifestation at the final hour
and when the new year came there was
a glad shout of victory at the Baptist
Tabernacle. where 5000 persons had gath

Similar scenes were enacted In other
churches throughout Georgia. AS the
final hour of 1907 in this city struck

for all the whistles to sound and the
bells to clang requiem to the liquor
regime.
Just at o'clock last night the Christ

BALTIC POOL
FIGHT BEING
PUSHED HARD

Washington, Jan. 1.-The Cosmopolitan
Shipping company. through its general
agents. Peter Wright & Sons, OF Philadel-
phia. yesterday filed with the interstate
commerce commission its brief OF argu-
ment to dismiss the demurred In the
conn plant against tho steamship lines
comprising the Baltic pool.
The defendant steamship lines include
the Hamburg American Packet company.
North German Lloyd. Scandinavian
American line and the Wilson (HulD line.
These companies are among tho largest
i'm the world. and such important ques-
tious are raised In this proceeding as
whether ocean carriers, acting In con-
junction with inland carriers through the
joint issue of through bills OF lading az
through rates from interior points In the
United States 10 points In Europe, are
subject to the provisions of the act to
regulate commerce and the jurisdiction OF
the Interstate commerce commission.
The lines are chaged with maintaining
a monopoly In restraint OF trade. pooling.
discriminating between shippers and local
tiles and giving rebates. The German
government Is said to be watching with
jealous interest the outcome OF the mat
ter as the German lines are said to en-
joy most intimate relations with Ber-
Inns imperial court circles
1t was alleged by the Cosmopolitan line
that these defendant companies foreign
I'm control. dictate the rate, the line, the
manner. the method and every other con-
dition OF trade ana traffic TO which the
United States producer, manufacturer or
shipper must submit in order to intro
duce his goods TO the three most impor-
tant northern continental ports of Eu-
rope"
The demurrer Of the defendant steam
ship companies denies that the interstate
commerce commission has any control
whatever over transportation from any
place In the United states 10 a foreign
country. or over property shipped from
foreign country 20 any place in the United
States"
The German government has been pay
ing tho Hamburg and North German
Lloyd lines subsidies for years. The lat
ter company has been receiving S,o0o,0o0
per annum since 1855. and tho former a
smaller sum. under contracts that will
live until 1915 by which time these two
companies will have received an aggre-
gate of s35 10000. The coco miles OF state
railroads owned by Germany are actively
associated withfthese companies and ac-
cord them preferential rates for the pro-
motion OF export and import traffic. In
this way the two companies practically
dominate tho ports Of Hamburg and Bre-
men, so far IA American merchandise is
concerned.
In the light OF these facts, the Co.'S
mopolitan company maintains that the
freedom OF the sea, for which the de-
dendants contend, is monopolized by COM
binations. threats, intimidation and pool
ing.

EIGHT PERISH
IN A MINE At
CAR | HAGE, MN.

FL Paso, Tex, Jan. Light men were
killed outright fivo seriously injured ana
seven are yet TO be heard from, as re-
suit of coal dust explosion caused by
wind shot In the Bernel mine OF the Car
thage Fuel company, Carthage, y, NJ
yesterday.
The fact that greater fatalities did not
occur IL traceable To the circumstances
surrounding the catastrophe. The acci-
dent happened at the noon hour, when
practically the entire force was out OF
the mine. over so men are regularly en-
ployed I'm this shaft.
OF the eight dead. only three have been
identified. so badly are the dead bodies
mutilated. Tho three identified dead men
are c. l.. Wilcox, Angelo Logorno and G.
IT. Nasterson The other five are horribly
mutilated and burned. and II Is irnpossi-
bic to tell who they were.
The force OF the explosion was SO great
that two bodies were blown several hum
dred Yards.
The town is wild with excitement.
Carthage is located nine miles from San
Antonio. a station on the Santa Fe, be-
tween albuquerque and FL Paso. The
town Is l6S miles from FL Paso.
The Carthage mines employ altogether
between 200 and 400 men. and this is the
first serious accident in their history. al
though they have been worked for a num-
ber Of years. In fact. only three men
had ever been killed I'm the mine pre-
Nious TO this time.

Gates the present limit, while joint
amendment would give 10 the mayor pow :

being on the property OF the city rather
than on the taxable property OF the citi-
zens.

CRISIS COMES
TO-DAY IN NEW
YORK RENT WAR

New York. Jan. Lines are closely
the crisis in the struggle between the
landlords and the tenants OF the great
east side
Although some of the owners and the
lessces have made reductions the major
ity OF them are disposed TO fight back,
and yesterday there was lively broad
side of dispossess notices. Nineteen re-
turnable on Jan. were filed at once in
the Fifth district municipal court and
there are Is more with the same tribunal
which cite the tenants to appear and
show cause why they should not be eject
ed More notices undoubtedly will be
served with the New Year and there are
evictions on the books which Will now take
place as the holiday season is passing.
Socialist lawyers are being detailed to
look after the tenants who have been
summoned. but owing to the lack OF or
ganization advisers and clients often fall
TO meet. The number of houses organ
lied Is constantly increasing and re-
ports from the Bronx and also from Lit
tie Italy. at East 10th street, show that
discomfort is spreading rapidly among
tenants in all quarters OF the city.
Landlords who looked at first upon the
rent strike as not likely TO assume for
midable proportions are now becoming
deeply concerned as the time approaches
when they must take action. Thousands
OF tenants Ii they keep their promise to
the committee OF ten, will offer the re-
ducd rent today, and IL it is refused pre-
pare to abide the consequences. II they
do not weaken the pavements will be
piled high with household goods and hun
dreds OF families will be temporarily
homeless.
Landlords and lessees yesterday min
gled with the throng at the Socialist
headquarters. at No. 3l3 Grand street. and
tried TO learn the temper OF the strikers.
Appearances are deceptive on the East
side as far as relative wealth is concerned
and landlord and tenant dress much
alike The landlords when seen after they
had left headquarters declared they were
not averse to discussing matters with
their tenants, but they objected TO being
''bulldozed" by the socialists. Several
cases were reported at headquarters
where the organization committees were
driven away by janitors and guards when
they attempted to induce tenants to FORM
an association.
Oratory also was one OF the divertise-
ments OF the afternoon, for an eight-year-
old prodigy. Joseph Rosenhack, stood on
a table among the admring SOCIALISTS
where for half an hour he denounced the
landlords and told how the poor laborins
man was suffering under their rule Wheh
he finished his admirers brought MN
chocolate drops and told him he was
pr,n.!slng Socialist and would some day
be the president.

SAYS L|lLEY

waterbury, Conn, Jan. l.-Congress-
man Lilley, who is a member OF the COM
mittee on naval affairs. was asked last
night for his opinion OF the statement in
a recent magazine story that the ships OF
the American navy carry their principal
armor under water. He said:
What the writer says is true, beyond
a doubt why, we have not a ship in our
navy that is not obsolete. Even the Ver-
mont Is an obsolete ship. The writer OF
that article is right: the only thing Is
that he did not go far enough"

troversy. he said:
"Dr. Rixey says n doctor ought to com

q sailor ought 20; It does not need much
