ATLANTA DISGRACED
"Jim" Woodward, Democratic Nominee 70
Mayor, on Another Howling Drunk

slim" Woodward, Democratic Nominee for
Mayor, on Another Howling Drunk
ATLANTA, November 1O-(Special correspondy
ence)-A recent happening in this city throws
valuable sidelight upon the mpossibity of en-
joying the benefits of prohibitory law while an
ntiProhbition party is left in power to enforce,
or fail to enforce, the statute. For months past,
in spite of the protests of the moral people of
the city, the city government of Atlanta, under
the mayorship of the man who proclaimed the
failure of Prohibition at Omaha recently, has
been allowing vice preserve to flourish around
the Washington street viaduct in the midst of
the city Here shameful carousa1s have gone
and young men have been tempted to ruin
and shame On recent evening, this section
of the city had distinguished visitor in the per-
son of Ex-Mayor J. G. Woodward, who is at
the present moment the nominee of the Demo
cratic primaries for reelection to the office of
mayor.
Mr. Woodward, it will be remembered by
readers of The National Pyohibitiomist, has fire.
quently in the past disgraced Atlanta by drunk
enness. The first instance of his outbreaks that
attained wide notoriety was on the occasion of
President McKinley's visit here in the fall of
1899, when Mayor Woodward officially enter
tanned Mr.. Mckinley at banquet and, accord
ing to his own statement, yielded to the temp
tation of the Presidential example and drank
for the first time in many years, becoming shame
fully and shamelessly drunk. Later Mr. Wood
ward represented this city at gathering of mu-
nicipal officials in northern city and appeared
drunk upon the platform when he was to have
delivered an address,
In spite of all this the old party machine
backed Woodward at the recent primaries for re-
election as mayor. Last Thursday night he
again went upon drunk. In company of former
Police Commissioner William Oldknow, he
sought the vice preserve and in a notorious
house there created such disorder that the police
were called Finding the distinguished person
atty of the dsturber, the police made no arrests
and his "ex-honor" and prospective honor" was
allowed to have his fun out and go home when
he got ready:
Atlanta is very much stirred up over these
things and there is a good deal of talk about
defeating the drunkard at the polls, but the gen
eral impression is that the party machine will
carry out its intention and Prohibition Atlanta
will have disreputable drunlard for its MAYOR
In the meantime Woodward himself has run
over to Cuba to let the storm blow over.

CASE MUST BE
DECIDED BY SUPREME COURT;
GOVERNMENT WILL APPEAL

Washington, Nov 13.-Following
the recent action of the Circuit Court
of Appeals in Chicago in refusing the
United States Government a rehear-
ing of the Standard Oil case. made
famous by it's s29,OOO,OOO fine, the De-
partment of Justice officials have de-
cided to carry the case to the Supreme
Court of the United States.
The decision was reached last
night after an all-day conference be-
tween Attorney-General Bonaparte
and the Government attorneys who
have been engaged in the case. 1t was
found that a number of changes had
been made in the opinion of the Court
of Appeals originally rendered, and
that Judge Baker of that Court. had
filed a separate concurring opinion
which differed materially in its reas-
oning from that of Judge Grosscup.
Application will be made to the SUI
preme Court for a writ of certiorari
to bring up and review the action of
the Circuit Court of Appeals when
that tribunal reconvenes on Monday,
November 80.
The following statement was issued
late last night by the department i'm
mediately following the adjourning of
the final conference:

"A prolonged conference was held
today at the Department of Justice
with respect to the action of the Cir
cult Court of Appeals in Chicago in
refusing rehearing of the Standard
Oil case
AT different times during the day
Acknowledgement Bonaparte was in
consultation with Solicitor General
Hoyt, United States Attorney Sims, OF
Chicago, and his assistant, Mr.. J. H.
Wilkerson, and Mr. F. 3. Kellogg, spe-
cial counsel in the civil suits against
the Standard Oil Company. 1t was
found that considerable number of
changes had been made in the opinion
of the Court of Appeals originally rem
dered and that Judge Baker of that
Court. had filed a separate concurring
opinion, which differed materially in
its reasoning from that of Judge
Grosscup. After a careful cOnsidera-
ton of all phases of the situation, it
was determined that an application
should be made to the Supreme Court
of the United States, when it recon
venes on Monday, November 30, for a
writ of certiorari to bring up and view

peals. The necessary papers for this
purpose will be prepared without de-
