Anna Hasnack and the man known as

Instead. her body was found today be-

The unusual situation results from the
break that occurred at the Minneapolis
meeting in September.

MACON COUNCIL WILL
RAISE BEER. LICENSE

MACON, Ga, Dec. 5.-The city council
of Macon will most, likely raise the near
beer saloon licenses at its meeting Tues
day night. The present tax Is $500. The
license and tax committee is contem-
plating increasing the tax to at least
$3.50. There are now considerable more
saloons in Macon than there were before
prohibition went into effect, and judg-
ing from the number of cases tried In
the recorders court, the large majority
of them are selling whisky as we'll as

The license and tax committee hopes
to eliminate many of the saloons by In

LAMAR LIKELY CHOICE
FOR ONE OF TWO COURTS
Augustan Probable for Su-
preme or Commerce Court.
Bacon Urges. Former
BY RALPH SMITH.


WASHINGTON, Dec. lit is believed
here that Judge Joseph r. Lamar. of
Augusta, will land a Judgeship on either
the supreme court or the court of COM
merce. Senator Bacon is pressing him
for the former and is content to accept
nothing less.
He has not encouraged the talk of
Judge Lamar for the court of commerce.
However. II appears that the president
has about decided to recognize Judge
Lamar and the rumor is that he has
him slated for this court. Senator Ba-
con spent an hour at the White House
yesterday afternoon In conference with
President Taft concerning his court ap-
pointments.
The president did not commit himself,
but the senator's long experience in pub
dc life makes him sanguine over the re-
suit OF his interview. He expects to
talk the matter over with the presi-
dent again before the appointments are
made and will continue to press Judge
Lamar for the supreme court, rather
than the court of commerce.
Senator Bacon is the ranking Democrat
on the judiciary committee which will
have the last word in the matter of the
confirmation OF all the judgeship ap-
pointmt nts, and on this account, and
because OF his recognized standing as
lawyer, the senior senator wields strong
influence with, the president in these
matters

WILL BUY CAPITAL .........
. WITH WATERWORKS FUND

MACON, Ga, Dec. 5.-That the move
ment to bring the capital to Macon will
defeat the proposition of the city own
ing its own waterworks, is now con-
coded. In the event that there appears
a chance for Macon to wrest the capital
from Atlanta, it will be- necessary for
the city to vote a bond issue Of s25o,00O,
and this could not be done should a pre-
vious bond issue be decided upon for
the purchase of the water plant for
$6ss.O0O, the price just fixed by the boar'i
of arbitrators.
The city will hold a special election
early in February. when the waterworks
question will be decided. 1t is now felt
certain that the citizens will vote
against the proposition to purchase the
plant. because Of their enthusiasm and
belief in the capital-moving project.
