The prison commission never has del

come to accept their recommendations
practically without question. When ii
became apparent however, that this

LIBERTY OFFERED
SMALL GRAF TIERS

NEW YORK, Dec. ga chance for
immunity was today granted policemen
and civilians who acted as collectors
for the graft under the police system"
from the $4,000 women Of the under
world, upon the condition that they
would confess and implicate the men
higher up in the police department.
District Attorney Whitpan, who has
made this offer of freedom to the
small fry grafters, feels that they
were merely tools for the captains. in
spectors, and acted under their orders.
and Whitman wants to secure the infor-
nation against the men who have been
the brains of the grafters in taking
money from keepers of disorderly re-
sorts.
This action on the part of the dis
trict attorney created a panic among
the higher officers of the police depart
ment, and there were wild rumors that
some of the guilty officials, rather than
face the court, would flee from the city
and become fugitives.
Added cause for alarm came today
when it was learned that Charles De-
vauiere and David Maier, held for the
grand jury on the charge of attempting
to bride a janitor not to testify in sup
Goode, would most likely accept the
offer of immunity by testifying as to
their knowledge of the system"

SIDELIGHTS
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
BY JAMES B. NEVIN.

fication is urged to have passed, and.
therefore, the Georgia newspapers
particularly of the rural persuasion
believe that the financial situation
would be greatly and sensibly relieved
if national banks might make loans on
real estate as security.
Anyway, Senator Smiths bill is be-
ing applauded from one end of the state
to the other as a mighty desirable
thing
The suggestion of The Darien Ga
zette that all county officers in Georgia
be elected for four years instead of
two, as is now the custom, has met
with considerable approval throughout
the state.
If it carried with it the further sug-
gestion of no prescriptive title to a sec
ond term, it likely would be generally
approved.
1t is customary in Georgia nowadays
to elect officers and then TO re-elect
them, regardless. to a second term.
! ears ago the politicians began to set
up claim to a second term as an
Endorsement" and the off1ceholder who
failed to get it has looked upon the
failure as sort of reputation pc
culiarly obnoxious.
This idea had more to do than any
thing else, perhaps, with bringing about
the constitutional inhibition against a
third consecutive term in the governor
ship. Governors have come to be ac-
corded second term, almost without
question; and pretty much the same
rule applies iii all other offices-as it
does, indeed, so far as Georgia is con-
cerned, to national representatives and
senator's.
While, however, The Darien Gazette's
suggestion is interesting and in many
instances approved, it is not at all like
ly that change in the present law will
be enacted by the incoming Legislature
Jesse G. Perry, the governors private
secretary, left Saturday night to spend
his Christmas holiday with the folks
back home, in Mitchell county.
Colonel Perry is an ardent sportsman
and crack shot. He will not miss a
days hunting while he is away, but has
promised the governor faithfully to
stick within the limit Of % birds day,
and not bring down censure upon the
administration by shooting up Mitchell
county's quail crop indiscriminately.
He will return to Atlanta and his Of

MET INSTANT DEATH
Frank Gates of Bristol is
Killed in Gravel Pit at
Russell on Monday.
SKULL CRUSHED BY WAGON

Frank Gates, q years of age and a
son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Gates of the
town Of Bristol, met instant death on
Monday at gravel pit on the De-
Forest farm in Lake county, just over
the state line. Young Gates was run
over by heavily loaded wagon and
his skull crushed. On account of the
prominence of the Gates family in
Bristol the killing &c the young man
has caused profound sensation
among the people of that town.
Gates lives with his father on the
old homestead in Bristol and since the
close Of the working season on the
farm he had been employed by Will
liam Wescott of Russell, who has a
contract for graveling roads in and
about the village. Monday Gates had
gone to the gravel pit and had loaded
his wagon and started to pull out of
the pit. A half dozen other men were
working in the pit at the time, but
none of them were able to say just
how Gates met his death. AS the team
started to pull the wagon out of the
pit Gates fell from the wagon and
went directly under the wheels. The
team went to the top OF the grade
and stopped and the other men rush
ed to pick up Gates. He was dead
when his fellow workmen reached
him. Physicians were called from
Russell to make an examination and
they found that his skull had been
fractured by one of the wheels OF the
wagon passing over mis- head. The re-
mains were taken to Russell and later
removed to the Gates home in the
town of Bristol. The inquest was held
on Monday evening and from the evil
dence brought out it is thought that
young Gates tainted and fell off the
wagon. Men at the pit declared that
it was just possible that the young
man had caught his foot in the lines
and that the starting Of the horses
had tripped him and caused him to
fall under the wagon.
The funeral services will be held
from the family residence in Bristol
at ten CLOCK Thursday morning and
interment will be at the family plot
in the Bristol cemetery. Gates had
been born and raised in the town of
Bristol and had spent nearly his en-
tire life at the old Gates homestead

SHOWING VAGARlEs OF FAME
How Ruhinstein, at the Height of
Eminence, Refused Offer That
Meant Great Distinction,

Teresa Carreno, the eminent wom-
an pianist, indulging in "reminiscences
of her career of fifty years before the
public, tells a story of Tschaikowski
and Rubinstein, which, in one respect,
is illuminating.
Rubinstein, the great Russian mas
ter, composer and performer of his
time, is seated in his study when
Tschaikowski arrives and humbly
asks permission to dedicate to the
great man concerto for piano and or
chestra. Rubinstein examines the
composition hastily; flies into a ter
rible rage; shakes his leonine head
and asks the affrighted Tschaikowski
how he dares to offer to dedicate this
trash" to man of such eminence
Thereupon, Tschaikowski leaves the
house, and by chance, meeting the
conductor Won Bulow, offers him the
dedication, which is accepted.
Observe the mutations OF time!
Rubinstein was great musician, re-
markable performer, but not a COM
poser Of the first rank by any means.

FOR CHRISTMAS JOY
Organizations in City Co
operating in Order to
Care for the Poor.
PLAN MANY XMAS BASKETS

1t is just twenty days to Christmas
and it is certain that the Christmas
spirit will be more in evidence in Keno
sha than ever in the history of the city.
Already the organizations in the city
which minister to the unfortunate and
the needy are busy getting funds for
the Christmas distribution. The Saliva
ton Army has placed it's boxes all
over the city and into these boxes is
pouring big fund which will be used
to provide Christmas dinners for the
poor people of the city who are under
the care of the army. The Associated
Charities is looking up scores of fami-
lies in the city who are in need Of help
and the FeCharities' will cooperate
with the organizations in seeing that
the people are fed on Christmas day.
The Elks will have their usual COM
mittee on this work this year and from
thirty to forty families will receive
Christmas cheer from the Elks. Santa
Claus letters will not go unanswered in
Kenosha as the postmaster will again
have the right to turn these letters over
to the various charitable organizations
as in other years; it is certain that
they will be taken care Of Generous
gifts have been promised to all of these
organizations to aid the annual Christ
mas distributions. One of the features
in the City for the Christmas season will
be the sale of the Red Cross seals. The
committee has now been thoroughly or
ganized under the lead of the Associat-
ed Charities and committees have been
named to have charge of the sales, in
the factories, in the schools and to fra
ternaI organizations. The Kenosha COM
mittee is out after the capital prize
again this year and if this is to be Sc
cured at least $4,000 worth of these
seals must be disposed of in Kenosha.
The seals are being sold in many of the
stores of the city and the crusade is to
be more organized one than ever be-
fore. Efforts are being made to secure
cooperation in making up Christmas
lists this year with a view of making
it impossible for any family to fail to
have JOY on Christmas day. Hundreds
of toys, and great baskets of warm clo-
thing are being contributed to the or
CARNATIONS to make the Christmas dis
tribution of greatest value to the poor
of the city. Churches of the city have
already begun to arrange for the vari-
Gus celebrations of the day.
