RAISES PRICE OF
SUNDAY DRUNK
JUDGE BAKER NOW ACCEPTS
$500 FROM THOSE WHO GET
JAGGED"

NASHVILLE, Tenn, July 20.-"Af-
ter this a Sunday drunk draws a S25
fine" said Judge Baker, following
Mondays session of the City Court.
This announcement was brought out
following the arraignment of Joe
Crocker and c. f.. Watson. who were
arrested Sunday by Patrolman Hunt
on Sixteenth avenue at 4 o'clock in
the morning, charged with being
drunk. Both defendants pleaded not
guilty. but after Judge Baker had
heard statement of the case from
Patrolman Hunt he assessed a fine of
$25 in each case.
If man accumulates o package
on Saturday night, but fails to turn
his steps homeward until after the
midnight hour has struck, thereby
falling into the arms of the law on
the SABBATH day, it is his misfortune,
for 1t will hereafter cost him more
than twice as much as If he had been
nabbed a little earlier. Judge Baker
believes that Sunday drunkenness is
worse than drunkenness on any other
day in the week.
There will be seven other cases of
alleged drunkenness before Judge Ba-
ker this afternoon. This increase in
the fine for Sunday DRINKS will mean
that more Offenders will spend the
night in Jail, instead of being let out
on a cash bond Of IS or $40, as has
been the custom in the past. That is
the bond will be $25 cash to cover the
amount of the fine.

WEST CRIES ALOUD FOR FIFTY
THOUSAND WILLING LA
BORERS.

WASHINGTON, July 21.-A cry for
help to harvest the seasons bounte'
GUS crops comes from the west to Of
ficials of the Department of Commerce
and Labor, whose functions, in part,
are to find employment wherever pos
sble for the throngs of aliens who
come into this country.
Fifty thousand able bodied men are
wanted-and badly, toby the farm
ers of the West, according to Repre-
sentative Stevens, of Minnesota, who
has been in conference with Assistant
Secretary McHarg and other officials
of the Department of Commerce and
Labor. Mr.. STEVENS says the West is
literally begging for help to gather
the big wheat crops. He declares
that the crop situation all throughout
the West is splendid.
While the officials here are more
than willing to assist, they are power
less TO do very much because of the
almost penniless condition of the
many thousands of aliens who annual
" reach American shores. Mr. Nc
Harg is heartily in favor of the time
ly suggestion of Commissioner Will
liams. at the Ellis Island immigration
station tibet aliens should at least
possess $25 upon landing to prevent
their becoming public charges,
He believes that the problem of re-
lieving the congestd centers of their
alien population could be solved by
the railroads of the country offering
to transport at actual cost to those
sections where profitable employment
could be had The railroads would
in the end, he declares, profit by so
doing. because they would carry back
the product of the aliens labor.
