tan Copper Works last night, while at

as far back as 1895 he used devices
by means of which sugar was un-
derweighed. Originally, he swore
the checker used bags of lead to
keep the weight or sugar down.

fraud the government and sentenced
to two years In Atlanta prison, tes-
titled today against Charles r.
Heike, secretary of the trust, and
the former employees now on trial.
He related the story of the frauds

which sugar was underweighed.
Originally he swore checkers used
bags of lead to keep the weight of

bored holes in seventeen scales,

James O'TOOIe
Yesterday.
WILL REVOKE

The Board Of Excise Commissioners
began an investigation yesterday which
may ultimately result in the closing of
some of the many liquor vending places
In the city. Two members of the board
visited one place and looked into a
number of others. The evidence secur-
ed indicates that there will be one less
drinking place in the city after the next
meeting of the commissioners.
The place Of James O'Toole, at 415
Front street, was invaded by President
Henderson and Commissioner Cornell
son, of the Excise Board yesterday. At
ter making an examination they sum-
moned Patrolman Andrew Jensen to
further investigate. A number OF emp
ty beer bottles and glasses were found
and there was some evidence that
drinking had been going on in the
building.
O'Toole IS saloon license expired last
Monday and the place was supposed to
have remained closed all last week. At
the last meeting of the Excise Board,
he made application for a hotel license.
1t was refused. He has now applied
for saloon license which comes up

ness at his old stand without license.
The place was put under surveillance,
and Messrs. Henderson, Cornelison and
Patrolman Jensen visited it yesterday.

result of the investigation, but it is be-
lieved the city's saloons will number
less by at least one hereafter. The

of some material after it has ar
rived on the ground, has given the
work setback.

brace County Jail ms Well
Courthouse


Chattanooga, May To- Especial --Accord-
ing to the opinion of the Individual mem
bers of the Hamilton county court, a new
courthouse costing in the neighborhood
of $4,000 or s2oo,o0O will be erected here
to take the place of the old building which
was partially destroyed by fire late Satur-
day night.
Shortly before 10 o'clock the west side
of the courthouse was struck by ter
rife bolt of lightning, and in few Sec
onds the entire building was mass of
flames. The fire department answered
promptly, and in less than an hour had
the fire under control. but in the mean
time damage to the extent of $4,000 had
been done. The loss was practically COW
cred by insurance.
According to the members of the county
court the majority of them will favor
an entirely new courthouse instead of at
tempting TO rebuild the burned structure.
A movement was started here two years
ago to build a new courthouse, but met
with defeat by the votes of the country
district magistrates. 1t is thought that
under the present circumstances that a
new building, one of the finest county edi-
fees in the south, will be erected.
The old courthouse was erected in 1873
and has been rebuilt once.
If new courthouse was erected on the
plans now being discussed it is probable
that the county Jail will be erected in
the same building.
Preliminary plans will be discussed at
,toI
be held within a few days.
large part of the county records were
saved, and it is probable that the different
offices will seek temporary quarters in
some of the office buildings of the city.
