KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Feb II. :
Knoxville has been for three months
prohibition town. While this is too
early to judge of the ultimate effect
Of prohibition in the largest Tennes-
see city that has yet been engulfed
by the temperance wave, the trial here
has been sufficient to demonstrate
the automatic sociological truth that
prohibition does not prohibit.
There is no question that the law
is evaded and violated to degree that
makes It border on the farclcal. While
the reform city administration Is max
ing a conscientious effort to enforce
the law, the officials acknowledge that
the task of preventing an illegal traf-
ac in strong drink is entirely beyond
them.
Before prohibition there were over
100 open saloons that gave the city a
revenue of nearly 100000 a year;
there are now nearly thirty clubs and
so.called "soft" drink establishments
where liquor is sold to the members"
and to the initiated in violation of the
law, but without molestatlon from the
authorities. who ind 1t practically i'm
possible to get evidence against these
saloons.
Prohibition has not only decreased
the rental value of property that was
occupied by saloons, but has reduced
the income on other business property
The general business depression has.
Of course, had It's influence upon real
estate. but this adverse effect has be-
yond doubt been augmented by prohi-
btion. This temperance wave sudden
ly left Knoxville with 1ls vacant
stores in period of general CONNER
clal depression. Half of these stores
are still empty, while the owners Of
other stores have. to accept reduced
rents.

win Raise Taxes.


John d. Brownlow, son of the IA
NOUS Parson' Brownlow, and the larg-
est real estate dealer in the city, says
the income of landlords is going to
be SO largely reduced that their as.
sessments and taxes must be lowered,
so that besides the loss of the actual
revenue from the saloon licenses,
Knoxville will probably be compelled
to put an additional tax upon its citl-
zens to pay for the experiment of at.
tempting to correct the bibulous hab'
its.
Unquestionably hotel property has
been severely injured by prohibition,
as one of the most profitable adjuncts
OF the hotel is It's bar, Many travel.
ing statesmen who formerly came here
on Saturday night from the small
towns near by and spent money freely
now give Knoxville wide berth, I'm.
less actually compelled to spend Sun
day here, and the hotels suffer the
loss OF their patronage. ~
In this animadversiion on business
and prohibition 1t may not be amlss
to cite the fact that 81 900, 900 Cthis es.
innate was made to the writer by the
Rev. DR.. Perryman. one of the prohibl.
tlon leaders, was spent here for Il.
quor each year. However, reprehen.
sible such an expenditure might have
been there is no gainsaying the fact
that large part OF this money went
into circulation and contributed to The
clty's general business activity and
financial welfare. Now Knoxville Is
sending thousands Of dollars a month
elsewhere for the little jug and cases
that come in on every train.
The aug Train"
It was the jug train from Griffin, Ca,
that gave prohibition its death blow
in Atlanta in 1889. Knoxville also has
its Jug train. 1t comes in from Mid.
tllesboro. KY. every day with vary.
ing number of jugs; but enough to in.
dictate that the consumption of whis.
ky here is still enormous. Many be.
lieve that almost as much liquor is
drunk here as before prohibition went
into effect. In the social clubs, where
the locker" system prevails, there is
more drinking undoubtedly than when

Under the old order the club charg.
es its members Is cents a drink: un.
der the present system the cost Of
each drink to a club member Is not
more than Z cents, including the
charge for storing and serving. This
cheapening of whiskey is conducive
to freer indulgence, and the Owls
Club and the Eagles, which are not
exclusive organizations, have had
their mernberahip nearly double since

A HIGHLY
SATISFACTORY
PERFORMANCE
MAY BE LOOKED FOR To-MoR-
ROW NIGHT WHEN MISS
FLORENCE DAVIS is THE
ATTRACTION.

Local theater-goers have been treat
ed to two high class musical comedies
this week and tomorrow night will
have an opportunity to witness COM
edy drama which will be played by
Miss Florence Davis and Mr.. Elliott
Dexter supported by very strong
company. "A Question of Husbands"
the name of the play, is the same piece
in which Miss Grace George has made
such success under the title of "Di-
yorcons." Both Miss Davis and Mr..
Elliott will be remembered for their
excellent work IN 1.-THE Player Maid"
and as their present vehicle gives
them greater opportunity to display
their talents. a very pleasing perform
ance can be expected.
Miss Davis has many admirers here
who claim that she is the most clever
actress that has ever appeared on the
local stage. This is a strong asser-
ton. but it cannot be denied. as Miss
Davis is really most charming wo-
man, and does her work with zeal
and an intelligence that at once wins
her audiences.
Fairmont theater-goers have a rare
treat in store tomorrow night. and
no doubt a great many will take adj
vantage of it.
Yesterdays Uniontown Herald
speaks as follows of this attraction:
"Mlss Florence Davis was unques-
tionably the star in the performance
of "a Question of Husbands" which
was presented at the Grand Opera
House last night, and she filled her
part in an unquestionably artistic
manner taking advants
good opportunities In her lines. The
play was given by one OF the best
companies seen in Uniontown recent
Nv and It was well received.
'Mlss Davis played the part of Cyp-
rienne and was ably supported by Ell
lott Dexter as NJ. Des Prunelles. Wal
ter H. Cluxton was good as NJ. Adhe-
mar De Gatichan. The play is an
adaptation Of victorien sardou's cele-
brated play, "Divorcons," and is a
good vehicle for a capable company"

GREAT ACTIVITY SHOWN AMONG
THE RIVER COAL INTERESTS
DURING HIGH WATER.

WHEELING, Feb. 19.-There Is
great activity among the river coal In
terests at Plttsburg. and all pool boats
are being pressed into service to as
semble the coal for shipment as early
as possible. Nearly 100000 bushels
of coal left the Smoky City yesterday,
and it is stated that about 100000
more bushels will leave to-day.
The boats that will pass down with
coal to-day are:
Duquesne IS coal boats, barges Of

freight: Boaz. Is boats. 2 barges, 5

All those who had crafts in the river
yesterday we're busy sparring them
out when the water began to recede
rapidly during the afternoon. This Is
one of the worst features OF the flood
for the boatmen. as It gives them
much more trouble than when the wa
ter is rising. The mud in which they
are forced to work makes sparrlng out
the boats very difficult.
The mud, ice and slime on the wharf
to-day will make hauling freight to and
from the wharfboat difficult, The Gin
ders which were placed on the wharf
before the arrival Of this flood win
very likely all be washed away. SO
