BuRGLAR1zED STORE
Pierce's Confectionery Entered and
TIN Tapped.

AAhA ANRkfC~Ae
The cigar and confectionery store
of A. Pierce on Sherman street was
entered by burglars last night and
IS in money stolen.
The store stands on the lake shore
and is constructed ON piling. The
burglars had made their way from
the front. down under the founda-
ton OF the store. and then by means
OF a carpenters sawhorse had
climbed upon the rear porch. After
gaining the rear porch the burglars
by the use of a knife cut out q por-
ton OF the panel In the rear door Of
SUFFICIENT size to admit the entrance
OF the hand. and then unlocked the
door. which was secured by a night
lock from the inside.
The till was opened and the above
amount stolen. but nothing else in
the store was disturbed. The place
is so located that an ofIlcer would
not be able to see any persons about
the rear Of the building. as It Is EN-.
tirely screened from view by the
surrounding buildings on each side
After a person enters It Is also very
easy to shut himself out from view
through the front window by crouch
ing down behind the counters In th'
rear.
The officers have no clue as to the
identity Of the burglars.

PROHIBITIONS lawful RESULTS"
Ciosine Georsas Saloons Threatens

OF Chain-Gang LaborersCourt Business Langushes

ATLANTA, GA, January s.-(Special correspond
ence.) with just week of Prohibition the
awful results" of the policy are apparent to all
the people of Atlanta, and stand confronting this
great city with appalling force.
Alderman w. A. Hancock, the newly elected
chairman of the streets committee, announces
that, unless the Prohibition law is at once re-
pealed and the saloons restored, it will be impos-
sibe to carry on the street work of the citv. as
it has formerly been carried on
10 understand this announcement it must be
known that Atlanta has done its street improve
ment work by means of the prisoners in the
stockade' or city prison. The first week of
prohibition has so materially reduced the number
OF prisoners that the time is already at hand when
a new system of doing the work must be found
or the work must stop. Eight squads of prs-
oners in the past, in normal times have been kept
at work In comparatively few days it will be
impossible to turn out single squad if the
lawful results of Prohibition" go on as thev have
begun.

CHICAGO'S SUNDAY CLOSING
Present Status of the Whisky Rebellion in
Western Metropolis

The status of the Sunday closing movement in
Chicago may be briefly summed up as follows:
Up to date three. cases have been tried in the
municipal court, resulting the first, in disagree
nent of the jury; the second in acquittal and
the third, in disagreement of the jury. In each
of these cases it was admitted by the defense that
the saloon in question open on the Sunday
in question, and the defense depended entirely
upon its ability to persuade some or all of the
members of the jury to ignore the law, although
in each case the presiding judge instructed the
jury that the law of the state is in full force
and effect in the city of Chicago and is not in
any way modified by the ordinance which appears
i'll contradiction to it, or by the fact that it has
been ignored by the local officials for years past
1t is well-known fact that the lawyer who is
defending the saloon cases admitted, before the
first case went to trial, that he had no case in law
and that his whole dependence rested upon his
ability to "browbeat the judge and bambooze the
Jury"
The prosecution is to continue. Other cases
will be tried in the future and interesting
developments anticipated

a yeW "SO yeSEefddv the P0Hce OF Atlanta
arrested Se0enty-t7Vo people; yesterday thew ar
rested only tz0el0e. That total of twelve was
made up OF four white men and one white woman
fve negro men and two negro boys Among this
number was one arrested for drunkenness. two
for "idling and lettering" five were arrested for
disorderly conduct and three for failure to keep
to the right in driving across the viaduct, while
the remaining one had committed the offense of
allowing minors to enter bowling alley
Comparison between the first week in Janu
ary, 1907, and the corresponding week of the new
year under Prohibition shows wonderful de-
crease in the number of cases tried before Re
corder Broyles in the city police court
In the first week of last year total of 442
cases were disposed of, 81 of which were iu-
veniles.
During the first week of the year there has been
a total of 251-191 cases less than for the same
period of last year. Twenty-six juveniles were
tried this week and are included in the total
Even this is not full showing of the case, for
this week includes the arrests made on the last
night of the saloon regime and other hold-overs
from the "wet" days. A total of about 1875 cases
were tried the day after Prohibition went into
effect. Even with this big number of cases in
the list, the total shows remarkable slump
With this first day cut out of the figures the
decrease would be decidedly more marked
Manifestly the business of producing criminals
in Atlanta has received an awful setback

spondence)-Th lawful results" of Prohibition
keep piling themselves upon the people of Atlanta
During the past months while the saloon has been
in operation the number of prisoners brought to

two assistant station sergeants AS a result of
the decrease of business in the police department.
following the adoption of Prohibition, both of
these officers have lost these desirable jobs and
have been put back upon BEATS patrolling the
