P|T|FU[ CASE IN
 ATLANTA COURT
Young Man Stole Purses to Buy Morphine = May
 Prosecute Druggists

Atlanta, December .-(Special)-As the result of a pitiful case in police court this week. it is very probable that the police will be called upon to pay special attention to the drug stores of the city and prosecute those that are found guilty Of selling morphine.
 The traffic in this drug was brought foreibly to light in the arrest of Hal Reid young man of g years old, who has been a victim of the habit for the past five wears.
 Reid was arrested as the result of the theft of two purses from prominent de- self out of money and with a craving Tor the dope, and having no place to secure the wherewithal, he entered the store. grabbed two purses from the coun- ter and rushed out, hoping to escape, pawn the purses and buy the morphine He was pursued. however, the purses taken away from him. and he was taken to the police station.
 During the trial in the police court his father made a touching statement to the court in which he told of his ef- lolIS to ufedk HIS DoA Dl tHe ndDlt.
 He@ declared that he had spent hun dreds of dollars on the boy in an effort to cure him, but that bad associations always brought him back to his old con dition.
 Where does he get the stuff from?" asked the recorder.
 Right here on Decatur street. de- clared the father. "It is sold right here in the center of Atlanta by drug stores and by street peddlers, under the very noses of the poice,. and it is a shame and an outrage. And it is my intention to get hold of some of the scoundres who have been selling the drug to my hoy and bring them to justice. Whats the use of having laws to prohibit the traffic if we don't enforce them?"
 Under the evidence the recorder could do nothing but bind the boy over for theft but he promised the father that the sale should be looked into.
 Chief Beavers, in talking of the mat ter, declared that there was no doubt but that some big dealer was behind the street peddlers. Many of the smaller fry have been caught within the last year or so, but the trade is a profitable one. to the class of people engaged in it, and as the majority of the buyers are negroes it isn't often that any great complaint is made, though the drug has caused many of the fights and much of the disturbances of all kinds in Atlanta among the blacks.

Ralph Frary is just finishing his sec
ond week as National league umpire
He was appointed month ago from the
Union league on the recommendation
of w. H. Lucas, president fthe Union
Baseball association. Frary was never
popular with the baseball fans as ar
umpire. His decisions were often ques.
toned by the spectators, but it was his
manner probably more than his judg'
ment to which objection was raised
He was yeritable czar of the diamond
The slightest question of a decision by
q player meant fine and possible sus
pension
Frary umpired three weeks in Sail
Lake, during the series with Helena
Boise and Great Falls. Neither side
was satisfied with his decisions. He
appeared to be better on bases than on
balls and strikes, In other cities Frary
was not more popular than in Sail
Lake, so that il comes as no surprise
to local fans. to learn of the strenuous
objections of the Brooklyn rooters.
For several years Frary was base
ball player In the northwest. HI
played second base and caught for var,
ious clubs in the old Pacific National
league and In the Northwest league
Then he became an umpire III the
Northwestern league where he was de.
nounced by many players and baseball
critics as too arbitrary in his rulings
When W. H. Lucas resigned as presil
dent of the Northwestern league I'd
become president of the Union asso
citation. Frary came with him as um.
pire. Soon afterwards he was appoints
ed by President Lynch as an umpire in
the National league TO succeed Umpire
Doyle. released for not knowing the
rules.
Frary undoubtedly is well posted on
the rules of baseball and is confident
in his ability to judge PLAYS correctly
Objections have been raised because ht
has failed to follow the plays more
closely and to run over to base ia
judge close decisions. Frsry has been
verse to the home club In order to in
dicate his indifference to the criticisms
