HE Did NOT LIKE
THE SPY SYSTEM
JUDGE CALHOUN WANTS TO GET
WlLLFUL LAW VIOLATORS, I,
NOT TECHNICAL ONES.

Atlanta, May 3.-The city police
department secured this morning its
first conviction in the crusade tlat
was announced some time ago the
city would make against the selling OF
cigarettes to minors
But it was secured in such an I'M
derhand manner that Judge Calhoun,
of the city court, in prcnouncing SEN
tence, made the fine a nominal one
and afterward scored the detectives
pretty severely.
The law in Atlanta, of course,
makes it misdemeanor to sell cigar
cites to anybody under II years Of
age. A few weeks ago the city police
board urged the detectives to begin
a more rigid enforcement of the law.
And this is the way they went
about it. They picked out a stool
pigeon or spy, choosing a young man
OF nineteen years, picking him out
because of the fact that he looked
older, looked in fact to be p or %,
and then promised him small sum
of money if he would go to a we'll
known tobacco store and purchase a
tox of cigarettes. He went up to the
counter and dropped a nickel and ask
ed for a box of cigarettes. The clerk,
of course, without even looking at the
big fellow, tossed the cigarettes on
the counter. Then the detectives
tried to make a case against the pro-
prietor of the store, and failing to do
that, arrested the clerk.
"If you can bring ME evidence show.
ing that any tobacco store is actually
selling cigarettes to small boys, it
will Re a different things" said Judge
Calhoun, "but I don't propose to lay
heavy fine on a man for a .trumped-
up charge like tt1is, even If he has
technically violated the law"
