LOCKER CLUBS
Over In Georgia viii Be Put Out
Of Business.
United States Judge Speer Rules that
Each Member of Them Must Pay
Twenty-Five Dollars License.

A dispatch from Savannah. Ca, to
the Augusta Chronicle says "trou.
BILE OF q deep nature is looming ahead
for the locker clubs OF Georgia
those oases In the desert into which
the prohibition have converted the
State. and unto which those who are
sore at thirst are wont to wend their
way.
This trouble is not that which is
lurking in the approaching session of
the legislature, but it awaits the
clubs In the term of the United
States court for the Southern district
Of Georgia, which is to convene in
Savannah on February 20 Judge
Emory Speer sounded the docket for
the term. He will return to hold
court beginning February 20.
ASKED about the status of the
locker clubs in Georgia, Judge Speer
caused surprise when he said that
he would charge the United States
grand jury that the clubs are con-
Quoted in opposition to the statute
requiring that each place where IL
quor is sold or dealt in In any way
shall pay a license of $25 to the fed
eral government. Each and every
member OF the clubs, said Judge
Speer Is, under the law, liable for
such a license. He is required to
take out such a license aud to post
In conspicuous place.
Thus far the members in no case
have complied with the law, and the
Judge says he will charge the jury to
investigate this omission. This, of
course. means the death of locker
clubs.
Judge Speer said the impression
prevails up the State that no Savan-
nah jury would take cognizance OF
failures to observe the prohibition
law. This, he is not inclined to be-
lieve. he said, for he had found Sa-
vannah citizens ever ready to do their
duty as jurors.
However. the judge naively con-
tinued, that II he found 1t necessary
he might call upon the sturdy yeo-
manry' of Bullock, Emanuel. Screw
en- and other neighboring counties to
come to his aid in enforcing the law.
1T was quite evident that Judge
Speer was fully informed OF the ra-
pid mushroom growth of locker
clubs In Savannah" (

A dispatch from Rio dc Ian.,ro

covered an anarchist plot having as
It's object the destruction of mart NJ
tne American fleet now lying In the
naroor. The conspiracy, while CEN
terlng In Rio de Janerio and petront-
u.s. mas ramifications in San Panic

although 1t is understood that for
elsn anarchists are deeply involved
IN th plot. Fedher has fed to
Sac Paulo. and the police who know
MIN nave been sent to that place for
tne purpose OF experimenting him.
one or the detectives, who was
well acquainted with Fedher, hav-
Ing served on the police force at Pc
tropols for some time, returned
from that place Sunday, after hay-
ing made Investigations there and
had long conference with the
chief of police at Rio de Janerio.
The latter let 1t be understood
later that the Sac Paulo police are
on the track OF the arch conspirator
and expected to arrest him soon. In
an oficial note which the chief OF
police sent to the correspondent of
the Associated Press he says:
Some time before the arrival of
the American fleet at Rio de Janerio
the Brazilian government received
from Washington and Paris advices
that anarchists of different nation
alities intended to damage one or
several of the ships of the American
ieet. The names and addresses OF
the conspiratorS were indicated by
information which the police had re-
ceived previously from France and
Germany. The police OF this district
are working with the police of Sac
Paulo and Minas Geraes and / am
sure every precaution will be exer-
cised and the most rigorous vigilance
observed both on land and at sea to
prevent any injury being done"
The chief OF police, after having
made this official statement said that
he did not feel he should go into any
further details with regard to the
conspiracy, but he authorized the
statement that the plot was organ
lied by Fedher and he added that
the people OF the United States could
rest easy. as all OF the conspirators
had taken refuge in the interior.
The people OF the interior are ig-
norant OF the details OF the plot to
do injury to the visiting vessels, al
though there has been some slight
inkling of the matter. The impress
sion which the exposure OF this plot
will make will be profound, because
1t is the first anarchist conspiracy
that has ever been known in Brazil.
The police OF Sac Paulo have sent
word that they are on the track OF
the malefactors. who, they declare,
will not be able to come to Rio de
Janerio.

BRUTALLY ASSAULTED.
Hit in the Head With a Brick on
the Street.

A Sumter dispatch says Mr.. Law
renee DuBose of the Mechanicsville
section was going down south Har-
vim street Tuesday night at O'Clock
he was assaulted by a negro and his
skull crushed by a brick. He was
taken to the Sumter hospital and is
in a very critical condition, his skull
being so crushed that 1t rests upon
the brain and a very delicate opera
ton had to be performed.
From all that can be learned OF
the affair Mr.. DuBose was in COM
pany with a Mr. Easterling and they
were going to the Coast Line Passen-
ger depot. 1t is said that the nergo
ran against Mr.. DuBose on the street
and then attacked Mr. DuBose. Mr..
Easterling went to the residence of
Alderman p. p. Finn, told him OF
the attack and asked that a physi-
clan be called, which was done i'm
mediately, DR.. Walter Cheyne re-
spending.
Easterling is said TO have mys-
teriously disappeared after the as
sault, and 1t is alleged he took the
train. He is supposed to be from
Dalzell section. 1t was learned later
by the officers that one Dan Robinson
colored man, who runs on the
North & Western train between Cam
den and Sumter, committed the as
sault He did not return on the train
as usual the next morning and the
Camden officers have been asked tC
capture him. He is said to have

RUDE WaddeU Yarns

Rube Waddell's desertiOn Of the
st. Louis Browns is but one of a
hundred Or more foolish and eccen-
trio things that the celebrated
southpaw pitcher has done since
he has been in the major league
spotlight
In all these years he has fooled
himself far more than he has fooled
his employers. for his salary has
always been small in comparison
with the amounts paid for less
capable pitchers of good habits.
Great twirler that he is. RUDE has
always been, first of all, a prize
donkey. Connie Mack says that had
the RUDE been faithful and true, he
might have had from $4,000 to $10,-
600 year. instead o. his compare
lively small salary of $4,000 or
$4,000.
One Of Comics "reminiscences is
of a game the RUDE played in VII
mington, Del, on one of his run
away days. He was assigned to
left field, in which was stationed a
DlS lawn TOlleT. huDe went over
and sat in the drivers seat, 20 feet
outside of the foul line. Whenever
ball was hit to left he would aban-
don his seat and catch it. And then
he won the gamem with three
base hit.
But Connie recalls no story about
the RUDE with as much enjoyment
as that incident about the loss of
his American league pennant charm
of 1895. The RUDE pawned the
golden gem for a pittance ami the
next day Connie missed it from his
watch chain.
Have you lost it?" asked Con-
ME.
Yes said the Rube
Then Wen offer $50 for its re-
turn said Connie. Its solid gold
and worth 800"
The $50 was offered and the bar
tender who bought the charm for
$40 brought it back Mack paid the
$50 and gave RUDE his charm.

WILL SETTLE
|DE PROBLEM

Councilman Baldwin smoothed
over a fight last night between Ide
av. property owners and railroad
interests represented by McCrea
& Merryweather and r. ]. Danson,
by suggesting that the bridge COM
mittee meet with the conflicting
parties and arrive at a settlement
agreeable to both.
Capt. Gray, of the street COM
mittee, who recommended the inn
provement. arranged a meeting for
tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock on
the north end of Monroe st. bridge,
from which the property owners
and railroad representatives will
proceed over the ground and dis
cuss a compromise.
The bone of contention is four
unimproved blocks that shut off d.
rect access from Ide av. to the city,
compelling residents Of that section
to cross the G. N. tracks in order
to get to town. The fact that the
$4,000 roadway on Summit was
also blocked by the lack of I'M
provement and the public incon-
venienced generally by the opposi-
ton of the railroad interests was
also brought out.
From Mr.. Danson's connection
with the case 1t is presumed that
the railroad interests involved is
the North Coast road. The prop
erty was bought by the road after
the Improvement was projected, but
1t has been held up for more than a
year past through the railroad deal.
Responsibility for this delay was
charged to the board of works. but
Commissioner ONO laid it onto the
city engineer.
MIR. Danson contended that in the
near future the road would utilize
the property it owned on both sides
of the street and that then the
improvement, which would cost in
the neighborhood OF $4,000. would
be useless. He argued that the
plans called for grading a mile in
order to secure the Improvement of
four blocks. and asked for delay
until an arrangement could be
made whereby the desired outlet

ed the compromise with a sugges-
ton that the interests of both
parties be fairly considered.
