COMMITTEE IS TO
DECIDE QUESTION
TOMORROW
CONSIDERABLE INTEREST MANI
FEsTEo IN MEETING OF CITY
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE TO
FIX DATE or PRIMARY.

The announcement in The News
yesterday morning relative to the
meeting of the city executive COM
mittee tomorrow, and stating that the
committee would take up the matter
of deciding just who should vote for
alderman from the various wards was
considerably discussed yesterday by
those who are interested, and the mat
ter will be thrashed out for final set
tlement at the meeting to which the
voters generally are invited to be
present
1t had been generally understood
that a decision had been arrived at
already and that only the voters in
the various wards would be entitled
to vote, but il develops that this mat
ter is left entirely with the executive
committee, that body having the right
to fix the rules for the primary
There are many voters in the city
who seem to be of the opinion that
everybody should be allowed to vote
fer the various ward candida or
rather one from each of the four
wards, but the majority, it appears,
favor the plan as at first outlined,
viz: that each ward select its own
candidate for alderman and that the
nomination be ratified at the general
election by all of the voters This
gives each Of the wards the privilege
Of saying just who they desire to
represent them in council.
At any rate the voters are divided
on the question, and it is known that
some of the members of the executive
committee favor both of the plans,
therefore the final decision of the
meeting tclnorow will be awaited with
considerable interest by the various
candidates and the voters of the city
generally.

Near Beer Dealers
Are Still Undecided

ATLANTA, Oct 14-About the most
precarious and doubtful business in
Georgia just now is that of dealing
in near beer. Neither the near beer
dealers nor the consumers have any
definite idea as to where they stand.
That is one reason, it is thought
why the dealers are not coming for
ward promptly with the 5000 tax
which the extra session of the legis-
lature tried to impose upon them.
Enthusiastic adherents of this tax
predicted that it would bring the
state nearly $250,0O0 with which to
pay the expenses of taking care OF
the convicts. Up to date it has
scarcely brought in $4,000. There
are plenty of dealers, but the vast
majority of them are waiting to see
what the courts are going to do
about the alleged unconstitutionality
of the law
While they are in no hurry to pay
a tax about which there is any doubt,
there is little question that the ma
jority of the near beer men would
welcome a reasonable tax by the
state because it would give their
business standing which they can
not otherwise acquire,
Another thing that is worrying
the near beer dealers is just where
to draw the line on the amount of
alcohol in their wares to escape pun
ishment for violation of the prohibi-
tion law. The legislature refused to
fix a maximum, and the law has,
therefore, been left in rather a con-
fused state for the Interpretation of
the courts.
The consumer is demanding all
the time more and more alcohol in his
drink, and the dealer who is supply
ing it is getting the patronage. One
Atlanta dealer is reported to have
offered a 500 reward for any bottle
of near beer found in his place; he
openly claimed it all to be the real
stuff. The result has been the more
or less open sale of real be r in most
of these resorts.
The court of appeals has lust de-
cided that it is violation of the pro-
nibition law to sell lager beer: it is
intoxicating, says the court. But in
the light Of its former decision that
ability to intoXicate if drunk to excess
must be proven in each case, it will
appear still to be a difficult matter to
secure convictions except upon act
ual evidence of intoxication by the
beverage brought into question
There are several cases of viola
tion of the prohibition law now be-
fore the Atlanta courts as the re-
suit OF trade in near beer, but in
not cne of them has a conviction
been secured. 1t is a slow process.
Confronted by this state of affairs
and with the prohibition demanding
an amendment to the law limiting the,
amount of alcohol in beverages which
may be legally sold to one half of one
per cent, it is no wonder the dealers
hesitate about paying the tax. Should
such law be enacted, or should any
considerable number of convictions he
secured in cases where the amount Of
alcohol runs higher it would sion the,
sale OF the beers for which there Is
the greatest demand and put perhaps
more than half of the dealers ont of
business for lack of custom.

QUIET AND A MOVEMENT Is ON
FOOT NOW TO REIMeURE
TURKEY.

LONDON, Oct. 14.-A special to The
Times from st. Petersburg says that
the Russian government has sent a
note to Servia and Montenegro prom
ising TO safeguard their interests at
the forthcoming conference and ex-
pressing the hope that this promise
will induce them to avoid a rash pol
icy
There was no conference today be-
tween Sir Edward Grey and NJ. Iswol-
sky on the Balkan situation. conse-
quently no progress was made beyond
collecting the views of the other chan
cellors of Europe regarding the scope
of the conference.
The British cabinet is to meet to-
morrow to discuss the entire subject
after which it is expected decisive
steps will be taken.
Pecuniary assistance is the princi-
pal method proposed for compensating
Turkey, and it is not impossible that
the subjects of the sultan will be
quieted by means of a guaranteed
Turkish loan which would set the new
regime firmly in the saddle. Sir Ed
ward recognizes also the moderation
Of Greece after their proclamation of
union and he believes that the ap-
parently successful efforts of the Ser
Wan government to fight against the
radical elements Of the country enti-
ties it to consideration. Consequent
" these will be among the questions
to be considered at the coming con-
ference.
