GEORGIA "DRYs" CELEBRATE

ATLANTA, July 30-The first ami
versary of the passage Of the prohibi-
tion law by Georgia legislature was
celebrated today by the w. C. T. u and
other temperance and prohibition or
ganizations throughout the state. The
law has been in operation seven months
but public opinion is still at variance
as to its results on the moral and bu-
siness interests of the state.
The prohibition forces declare that
the effect of the law has been of a
most beneficial character, notwithstand.
ing the fact that it has been found i'm
possible so far to enforce it to the let
ter. The anti-prohibitionists, on the
other hand, assert that prohibition has
seriously injured the business interests
of the state without giving any ma
terial benefits in return. They declare
that the measure has resulted in in
creased corruption among public offici-
ais and that there is as much liquor
consumed in Georgia now as ever there
was under the old order of things.
The only point which it seems cannot
be disputed successfully is that the
amount of crime, particularly in the
larger cities, has been considerably
lessened since the prohibition law went
into operation last January. This ar
gument in behalf of the law is sup
ported by the police and court records
of Atlanta and other cities.

A Jewish Saloon Keeper of
Denver Found Dead in
His Own Home
wife WAS IN GLENWO0D

DENVER, July 3O-A saloonkeeper
named Lipschitz was found dead this
morning at his residence, 1888 Boule-
ward +, under conditions which have
mystifed the police although they feel
satisfied that the man met with foul
play.
Lipschitz was out last night visiting
friend and came home soon after
clock and went at once to his room,
his daughter and a boarder, the only
other occupants of the house having
retired.
This morning his little daughter. May
awoke early and discovered that her
father was dead She rushed to the
telephone and shouted to central "My
papa is dead. - Somebody has murder
ed my papa The alarm was at once
given to police headquarters and
hasty investigation was made which
soon convinced the officers that the man
had been murdered.
There is no evidence of n scuffle in
the house but the man is so badly
bruised as to indicate quite struggle.
There is dark blue bruise above
:he right eye and two gashes beneath
the chin besides other bruises about tho
head, and the police have theory that
the man was slugged and robbed near
his home and then either led to- his
home by his assailant or that after
the assault he was able to make his
way home unaided.
At the time her husband was pass
ing away Mrs. Lipschitz was in Glen
wood Springs enjoving herself nj visit
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. NJ.
Schwartzman. She was accompanied
by her youngest girl and had sent her
two boys for visit with their grand
mother, leaving her little daughter May
at home to take care of the house.
Mrs. Lipschit2 received telephone
message this morning from a friend in
| Denver saying that she should come
at once as Mr.. Lipschitz was very ill.
She left on the late Midland No. 4,
absolutely ignorant of her husband .

Preliminary Before Justice Aedden This
Morning. Many Witnesses Tes-
tify Against Prisoner
Rozzl IS VERY MUCH DISTURBED

could not understand all that was said
nor identify the speakers, they both
heard loud and excited talking, threats
and bad language.
Tom Rich, brother of the deceased
woman. told of Rozzi s threats on the
fatal night and also as to the prisoner IS
constant i'll treatment of his wife, Tom
Ross gave evidence very similar to that
of Rich.
John Rennix, of Newcastle testified
tos the general condition of the bod Y
and the loss of several teeth from the
lower jaw.
James Duce, who was deputized by
Coroner Clark to hold an inquest, gave
testimony as to the general character of
the evidence at that time.
Frank Warner, as counsel for the
prisoner, then made n motion for the
discharge of his client, claiming that
whXe.it might be contended that Rozzi
was very bad man and said that
while the testimony just given might
even prove the fact it was not suffi-
cient evidence as to raise the presump-
ton that the prisoner was guilty of the
crime of murder as he was charged.
Judge Hedden, however, considered
the presumption OIL guilt quite suffi'
eient and held the prisoner to the dis.
trict court without bail.

COMMISSION TO INVESTIGATE
RATES.

The statement from the interstate
commerce commission that it will take
up the matter of railway rates and
notices of increases is considered of
wide Importance by railroad men.
Following direct action of different
shippers in protesting to the president
against the rate it is believed that
the suggestion for the statement came
from the White house. 1t was an
nounced by Chairman Knapp that moth
ing will be done in the matter until
the rate becomes effective. 1t is now
thought that as soon as the rate is
announced by the roads before it goes
into effect, the commission will decide
to act.
Judge Speer of Georgia has caused
great deal of comment by granting
preliminary injunction against sew
eral railroads in that state, preventing
them from putting into effect the ad
vance in rates advertised for August l..
Judge Speer became widely known five
years ago by his action in refusing to
allow the Southern railway and south
eastern carriers to increase the rate on
pine lumber. The roads posted a bond
to return the amount of the overcharge
should the commission decide against
them and when the case after consider
alton by the commission, was decided
for the shippers they refused to COM
ply with the orders of the court until
Judge Speer sustained the order of the
court, and compelled the roads to fol
low out the law as laid down by the
commission.

as though the First National banl
