Army to Have n Hearing.

Maj. Barter. Of Baltimore. divisional
superintendent Of the Southern district Of
the Salvation Army, arrived in Wash
ington last night to take charge OF the
matter.
Commissioner West. discussing the ques-
ton, said yesterday that the Commits
sioners would give the various gospel
bands a hearing before they are prose
cuted in the Police Court A dav will
be set some time within the next week or
ten days, and the cases will be gone over.
Rev. ID. Harding. rector Of St PauTs
Episcopal Church, and canon Of the Ca
thedral Foundation. said yesterday that
he was always sorry 20 see an agency for
good hindered from continuing its good
work. Referring TO the work Of the SAL
walton Army Canon Harding said:
L am not thoroughly familiar with thelI
work, but | believe they reach that class
OF poor and needy which no other church
reaches They do good. and l trust that
everything will right itself so they can
continue their work unmolested l see in
the papers that the American Salvation
Army was driven out of Pittsburg by the
police. Is there a branch Of the American
salvation Army I'm this city,"
DIR. Hannah Praises SaIvatiOnfsts.
Rev. Eugene A. Hannah. rector Of St.
Martins Church, North Capitol and T.
streets. Is outspoken in his praise Of the
good work accomplished by the Salvation
Army. He said.
They feed the poor and clothe the
naked and help those whom no other
church reaches. I myself am a regular
contributor TO their works Of charity in
a small way. I should be very sorry If
their work were to be interfered with in
any way. or II such small thing as the
beating OF a drum or the taking up OF
collection should be made an excuse TO
prevent them from going on with their
work.
Cardinal Manning was very much in
favor of the Salvation Army. and every
body knows that the Salvation Army has
been an agency for good wherever It has
settled down for business. II has my
sympathy and best wishes"
Other ministers OF the gospel of various
denominations expressed themselves in
similar terms of praise Of the work of the
Salvation Army, and hoped that there is
no danger Of any serious movement
against its continuing its mlnistrations.

We intend 10 continue our outdoor

music. and intend to accept voluntary
contributions. The drum in these many
years has had a most useful career. 1t
has called thousands and thousands Of
idlers and sinners TO the place OF wor-
ship and saved their souls. Many men
have been called from the ways Of vice
by the beating Of the drum. 10 listen to

This constitutes the opinion Of Mrs
Wiseman, adJutant Of the local branch
Of the Salvation Army, with headquarters
in Pennsylvania avenue between Ninth
and Tenth streets. with regard TO the
action Of the police on Monday night.
when they placed the Salvationists under
arrest.
Adjutant Wiseman said that the volun-

the local post and its officers. out of its
proceeds the officers receive their meagcr
salaries. the rent for the barracks. or meet

nearly always the case. some deserving

NEW YORK EEGISLATTRE.
Body Meets and Organizes-Gov.
Hughes Makes Important Recon-
r,endatiOns in Message.

Albany, New York, January -
The legislature of 1908 convened to-
day, completed the necessary organi-
ZatiOn, heard the second annual mes
sage of Governor Hughes and ad-
jOurned until next Monday, when the
real grind will begin.
Governor Hughes message contains
many important recommendations
chief among these, in the light of GER
tain conditions, disclosed by the re-
cent financial upheavel, is a recon-
mendation regarding the amendment
OF the law relating to banks and trust
companies. The governor urges the
legislators to adopt every practical
means to prevent repetition of rep
rehenslble practices and to assure
the proper management Of the inan-
cial institutions chart red and super
vised by the state, upon whose sta
bility and prosperity the interests of
our people in every walk of life so
largely depend.
Another important recommended
ton has as it's object the complete
suppression of race track gambling
throughout the state.
Direct nominations at primaries
and simplified form of ballot are
urged ana recommendations also are
made for better provision for the
care and protection of emigrants.
With reference to the banking laws
the message says.
Recent events have demonstrated
the necessity for providing effective
means for preventing the exploitation
of banks and trust companies and
the acquisition and use or control
of number of institutions to facili-
tate selfish schemes opposed to sound
banking. If suitable restrictions are
imposed in explicit form and with
appropriate penalties, ensuring ade-
quate knowledge and proper action
on the part of the board OF directors
with regard to loans and other trans
actions, the security of our financial
institutions and the confidence which
springs from just reliance upon their
proper management, will greatly be
strengthened.

PROHIBITION LAW IN EFFECT
Judge Refused to Grant Injunction.
Predictions OF Distur Dances not
Fulfilled.

Atlanta, Ga, January 1.-The most
notable feature OF the first day or pro-
hibition in Georgia was the refusal Of
Judge W. P. Newman, in the United
States circuit court, TO grant an in
function pending legislation which
would prevent the putting into effect
OF the prohibition law. Papers in the
case were filed late Tuesday night on
behalf of two breweries, one in Chatta-
nooga and other in Cincinnati. Judge
Newman simply filed a memorandum
reading as follows:
After careful consideration an iu-
junction pendente lite will not be
granted This being true it is nuuec-
essary to call on the defendants to
show cause"
The lawyers for the plaintiffs in the
case told the Associated Press tOnigH,
that the decision of Judge Newman
did not have the effect of throwing
the proceedings out of court, but that
the case would come up in the regular
order Of business, and it was expect 81
that it would be ready for trial in
C4DOuI I"D IliOIIIDS- III luG mSdIil litlc
prohibition is in effect in every dis
trict of Georgia.
Notwithstanding predictions that the
enforcement Of the law on the first day
Of the new year, which is a recognized
holiday in all parts of the state, would
bring about a disturbance there was
not the slightest disorder
The saloon men in Atlanta evidently
believe that the legal aspect of the sit
uation will not have the effect Of
putting them back into business, for
they were busy today ripping out fix
lures and carting their goods to store
houses or to railroads for shipment TO
states where liquor is allowed to be
sold.
Under the law the defendants in the
action against the prohibition bill will
have until March in which to demur
or file an answer. This leaves the
whole matter in abeyance until that
time.
