SAYS 1T is iMPc sslsLE TO KEEP
LOCKER CLUBS FROM VIO-
LATiNG TIE LAW.
Judge Thinks Ycu Might as Well Try
to salit Stone Mountain With a
Toothrok as . Prevent Clubs Sale
of Liquor.

Atlanta. April 26--"You mieht as
well try to split Stone Mountain with
a wooden toothpick as to endeavor to
stop locker clubs in Georgia from
violating the present prohibition law
if they choose to do So" declared
Judge George L. Bell, of the Fulton
superior court, yesterday from the
bench, in the course of statement
in which he believed the prohibition
movement in Georgia had thus far
failed in its purpose.
When the legislature, after pass
ing a good prohibition law tackled on
the provision taxing near bear and
thus recognizing that imaginary CON
coction, and then provided for the
establishment of locker clubs, it is
my belief that it defeated, to all in
tents and purposes, the object of the
prohibition law.
Take the situation in Georgia to-
day. There isn't q single city, and
there are few towns, where every
known brand CT beer. including the
finest imported articles in some IN
stances, can not be purchased over
the public bar, in saloons which have
not changed one whit in appearance
or in the results they produce except
that whiskey can no longer he sold
over them. The same fights occur in
these bar rooms, the same drunken
ness can be traced to their door.
though in perhaps a slightly lesser
degree. Then take the whiskey ques-
ton. There is scarcely city without
its club, and scarcely club without
its bar or its equivalent tables where
you can get anything from Scotch
high balls and gin rickeys to cham
pagne.
so in a state where you can buy
beer publicly, and whiskey and mixed
drinks semi-puNlicly, where is the
victory for prohibition"
Judge Bell gave voice to these opin-
ions in connection with the fight be-
tween the city of Atlanta and the
Union and Mechanics club. The city
tried to close it the ground that
it was practically little better than a
blind tiger, deriving nearly all it's
revenues from the sale of whiskey,
and permitting young women, unchap-
I eroned to drink there, who were not
memNers of the club. Judge Bell has
| ruled that S1e city had right to
! license the club, to take away it's
license for cause and to close it if it
! chose. But meanwhile he has grant
! cd a supersedeas, and the club re-
mains temporarily open until the
I question of the city's authority is
passed on by the supreme court.
! With the present law, according to
Judge Bell, it is practically impossible
! to prevent locker clubs from violating
the law if they choose, for all safe
guards for secrecy are given, and no
opportunities left to the police for
real survillance

pist and benefactor of Hyde, was this
morning released from the county
Jail on L writ of hateas corpus grant

In the courts opinion, Hyde was
largely convicted on circumstantial
evidence, and there was reasonable
doubt of his guilt.
This brings to an end the most SEN
sational case of ti,e criminal history
OF Kansas. Hyde was accused of
poisoning Swope in order to get his
money, and his conviction resulted
from the fast that he had purchased
poison of the kind used in killing the
millionaire.

Hyde when he left the Jail and escort

which was born on the day he was

FREE LIST MEASURE
ALARMS MILL MEN

Cotton manufacturers in the south
aad cotton planters and others inter-
ested have become alarmed at a pro-
posed item in the new tariff schedule
known as the Farmers Free List
Bill" which includes burlap among
the articles admitted free of tariff. It
is probable that a combined effort
will lie made to have the objection
able item removed from the schedule
before the passage of the bill
In Schedule A is included the fol-
lowing section for free admission
from other countries: "Burlap and
bags or sacks composed wholly or in
part of jute or burlap or other materi-
al suitable for tagging or sacking
agricultural products"
1t must be understood that burlap
is different from cotton bagging. and
that its free admission to this coun-
try would cause it to take the place
of cotton bagging to a large extent.
1t is estimated by mill men that it
would reduce the demand for cotton
by 100000 bales, that amount being
used in the manufacture of cotton
bagging, which would be crowded out
by the free admission OF burlap,
which is not made in this country.
