GEORGIA STILL WET Prohibition Does Not Prohibit in the South, Say the
 Brewers. JURIES FAIL TO CONVICT And the Brewers Charge That Soft Drinks Arc Dopcd-Floods of
 "Near-Beer."

Milwaukee, Wis, May S1.-That tho south. particularly Georgia, is not dry, despite the prohibition laws, the na- tional convention of the United States Brewers association, to be held here June s, will seek to show, and the op- eratlon of the prohibitory laws in the south will be one of the chief topics at the convention. Although the licens- ed saloon has passed away in the south the convention will be shown that IT, quor by the carload is being distribut- ed In the various states. The Georgian situation will be discussed In the most detail, but other states show much the same conditions.
 ness In Georgia, though the brand of beer which is placed on sale Is no longer called beer, and has only about half the amount of alcohol contaIned In the old beverage. The articles now manufactured by the brewers to con- form to the state law of Georgia are called malt ale" bud" hone brew" and near beer" and contains from one and one-half 10 two per cent. of alco- hol, where beer contains three and one- half 10 four per cent. outside of these drinks. however. there are hundreds of other connections being sold in the grocery stores, drug stores and dispen- saries Although the state court of ap- peals has decided that the law falls to stipulate as to the amount of alcohol in the prohibited liquors. the brewers to be on the safe side have cut down the percentage to at the most two per cent. and say they are producing q beer which is not intoxicating. though 1t Is called beer It Is said that the t.a 4.ts ta, ,tzr t tlrA k1A and Georgia is consequently as wet as 1t ever was, while the state has lost the revenue it formerly obtained from the saloons The tremendous demand for bottled goods has caused an in- crease In that output also. Some of the brewers say that even if the law is re- pealed. they will continue to put out their low alcohol percentage beer
 The great trouble in Georgia, accorl- ing 10 the reports which will be pro sented to the convention. ia that there is 90 much whlskey being sold that some ministers, among whom Is Dr. w. N Ainsworth of Savannah. are com plaining that 1t Is difficult to convict violntors of the prohibitory law be- cause of the acquittal of prisoners by jurors who are not in sympathy with the law
 Another phase of the operation of the law Is the boom of the soft drink bus hess. One brand containing cafeinc is so powerful that two glasses after supper are effective in preventing q nights sleep The habit formed by this beverage gives the victim a craving for it before breakfast, and at intervals during the day with the alternative of headache or drink. Nervousness making the heads of the victims shake ! like those of palsed person is an other concomitant of this drink. The | oh nat n n r, ufacturing this drink gave s50,000 to the prohibition cause recently and is profting greatly by the prohobitior wave.

N. II. II. S. WINS.
shuts Out Springfield H. S. Saturday
 Playing Gilltedge Baseball.

The New Haven high school nine has regained its previous winning streak, after losing three successive games, by beating the Springfield high at Training field, Saturday, by the score of to 0. The New Ha- ven players changed their mode of attack, getting right after their cp- ponents in the first part of the game, Instead of waiting for the final inning The whole team played well, handling the moist ball in fine style, despite the fact that the Springfield players refused to allow Ilollacher, the local high pitcher, the usage of some of their powder.
 As usual Captain Blakeslee, the man behind the willows, and Falsey, short stop of the local high, performed their neat play with great success, nabbing all winners from first trying to steal second Messinger, right fielder, did some tall sprinting in that locality, getting three difficult flies and putting the damper on the spirits of the Springfield rooters He secured a hit as did Flanagan, the first sacker The latter played an excellent game, stop ping some of the very poor throws. Faysnano, who played second. failed to secure a good hold on the "soggy'' sphere while Grodske played an unus- ual brilliant game at third.
 The Springfield crowd tried their best to nettle him, but to no avail, for Grodske worked hard to get ev- crything about him. Burns, left field CT kept Springfield from scoring by robing their first batter of a pretty smasher. Starkweather did well at center while Dunn played left for the
 last inning. "Midae' Hollacher kept his opponents guessing and received fine support throughout.
