the opinion of the authorities that
they have a stronger case against
Frazier than ever as large number
of witnesses We're present when the
seizure was made. Frazier is the most
fiagrant violator of the prohibition
law in this place, according to the
authorities. There are now five cases
docketed against him in the City
court, which were transferred from
the lower to the higher court by writ
of certiorari.
In speaking of the arrests made
Sunday, Chief of Police Barrow said
that it is believed that the police
have witnesses by which it can
be proved that whiskey was bought
either Saturday night or Sunday from
each of the places named as being
associated with the operations con-
Quoted by Frazier, Anglin and Hamp-
ton. Fraziers stand was under close
watch by the police force Saturday
night and Sunday, from which an eff

seizure was made. In the case of An
glin negro was arrested, who is all
legged to have bought whiskey Hamp-
ton, the negro under arrest and who
had bottle of whiskey in the bar

Iousht this whiskey from Anglin.
1t will be the purpose of Chief of
Police Barrow and the city authorities
to mike out the strongest case possi-
ola against Frazier and to do every
thing possible to secure his convict
ion The statement was made yes
terday by Chief Barrow that the po-
lice department is doing its best TO
abprehend violators sof the prohibi-
tiCn law and to secure evidence to
convict them. A revenue license from
the federal governemnt was found in
Fraz er's trunk This license was
dated from the middle of last year
to the middle of the present year, but
it was not issued in Fraziers name.
AS Georgia is by legal enactment a
prohibition state, the federal license
is not in force here.

AUTO TRUCK
HAS ARRIVED
FOR CITY
READY TO Be PUT IN Use
Manufacturers Representa-
tive viii Deliver 1t

Having arrived within practically
! the exact time as promised by the
manufacturers, the motor-driVen COM
bination hose truck and chemical en-
gine ordered by the city last fall ar
rived yesterday and is now ready O
be formally delivered to the city IS
soon as the representative whom the
manufacturers will send shall have
arrived to take charge of this final
part of the work.
Fire Chief Macarthur has been eX-
pecting the truck for some time, as
he received notification from the ma
ufacturers, the American LaFranc En-
gine Company, of New York, that the
apparatus had been shipped from the
factory on December 80. A telegram
was received yesterday from the man.
ufacturers that the representative
whom they had promised to send tt
Americus would reach the city In
few days, probably on Monday or to-
day Later and more definite infor-
nation was promised by the manufac-
turers as to when their representative
would arrive. So far, however, such
notification has not been received, so
it is not likely that the apparatus Will
be formally delivered before tomorrow
or the latter part of the week, as the
representative is not expected to ar
rive before midday or tonight.
The truck that has been purchas-
ed by the city is described by Chief
Macarthur as a miniature fire depart
ment in itself" 1t is a combination
hose truck and chemical engine, so
that it has with it apparatus to fight
fire beth by water and by chemical
agency. For this reason it is consid-
Grad an invaluable adjunct for any fire
department 1t is neat and compact,
also, its total length being only six
teen feet, so that it is, with all its
equipment not as cumbersome as the
present fire trucks, as there are no
horses to take up space. Chief Nc
Arthur believes that the new appara-
tus VIII prove of the greatest aid IN
handling fires quickly and effectively.
The manufacturers representative
will give demonstrations with the ap.
paratus in order to show that it is de-
livered to the city in first class con-
dition and in order to give the men,
bers of the local fire department les
sons in how to handle the machine.
AS the streets are now in very bad
condition on account of the rains, 1t
is fortunte that the apparatus is not
to 1e delivered at once. 1t is hoped
that the streets will be in good condi-
tiUn when the trial demonstrations are
given though they might otherwise
servo to show how the machine will
work under the most unfavOrable cir
cumstances.

Buy the Toll Bridges.

The movement upon the part Of the
Touring Club of America to induce the
Pennsylvania State Legislature to CO.
operate with New Jersey in the pur-
chase Of the toll bridges across the
Delaware river, is worthy Of support
by the people Of both States. The
project is in keeping with the modern
trend OF Roadway improvement,
Toll roads and toll bridges belong to a
past age, although they still linger in
this. While it is certain that the day
OF free bridges will come, the point is
to force the issue and institute the re-
form so that those advocating the
change, and the countless thousands
who wovld benefit by ii, may be sure
of enjoying the fruits of reform to
which they are entitled before old age
overtakes them.
New Jersey has set splendid exam
pie to PENNSYLVANIA, having appropriate
ed 100000 of its share in the pro-
posed purchase of these bridges. The
abolition of the toll bridge would help
promote the Delaware river boulevard
project, fact that gives additional
strength to the free bridge argument.
The scheme previously appealed to
New Jersey. The appropriation is proof
of its acquiescence and its hopes.
The Legislature OF Pennsylvania should
at least meet this action half way. -Tren-
