ATLANTA IS A DESERT

Lime Kiln.
PROHIBITION AT MIDNIGHT

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ATLANTA. Ga, January ATLANTA is
as dry today as a powder horn The
change was made smoothly and without
difficulty. The new law, covering the
entire state, was effective at midnight.
Today there are nearly 300 stores closed
in this city where liquors were sold
yesterday. Men are at work tearing down
the fixtures and moving out.
The scenes of last evening were most
unusual. Thousands of persons thronged
the streets with nearly every conceivable
variety of vessels which would hold
liquor. Along the principal streets where
the saloons have thrived for years the
the crowds. But there was little disorder
and few arrests.
One arrest which caused. considerable
comment was of a policeman in uni
form, who with two quarts of liduor in
his arms and an equal amount in his sys-
tenn, visited the establishment of a negro
undertaken and fired his revolver five
times. Another man, well-dressed
stranger, wearing diamonds. was arrested
for drunkenness and taken to patrol
box. He resisted when the officers at
was clubbed into insensibility.
Liquor in a Church.
One wholesale house is said to have
sold $4,000 worth of liquor in fifteen
hours yesterday. Toward the latter part
of the evening everything was free. One
saloon keeper gave away thousands of
dollars worth of cut glass decanters,
drinking glasses and statuary.
Rev Len G. Broughton, who had de-
cared he would break bottle of liquor
in the center aisle of his church, the, Bap-
tist Tabernacle, as whisky went out and
prohibition came in. was prevented by
state law that has long been In. effect
which makes it a crime to carry intoXi-
cants of any kind into a house of wor-
ship. The minister therefore merely
broke an empty bottle, which apparently
served the purpose as well.
1t is believed that the prohibition law
will not be put into effect in a number
of the larger cities of the state, for some
system of fines will be imposed upon the
dealers. In Atlanta, however, the law
will be rigidly enforced, it is declared.
Enjoin the Law.
A forlorn hope for the dealers was
sprung at about 6 o'clock last evening,
when application was filed for an injunc-
ton restraining the enforcement of the
law. The application was filed by coun-
sci for brewers outside of the state. The
application claimed that the law contra
diets another state law, which provides
that money received from the sale of
liquor shall go TO the public school fund
It contended that this requires the sale
of liquor.
The petition was presented to United
States Judge w. 7. Newman of the cir
cult court He read the papers, and after
an informal discussion with the attorneys
said he would announce his decision to-
day. 1t is thought the local liquor deal
ers are back of the movement, but it was
necessary to get interests outside of the
