CITY IN POSITION
To HIT DEFIANT
SOCIAL CLUBS
All Locker Organizations Seek
ing License To Be Probed by
Police Authorities.

All locker clubs in the city will I'M
dergo a rigid investigation by the po-
lice department prior to the granting
of city licenses in October, with a view
to wedding out the "undesirables" 1t
Is generally understood several of the
clubs will be forced to close through
the refusal of the police committee of
council to give them a license.
The new city law providing a license
of $500 per year for locker clubs, goes
into effect at that time, and the various
clubs will have to pass in review" be-
fore the police committee. 1t will be
within the power of the committee to
refuse license to any club not wanted.
Several of the clubs, it will be remem-
bered. have openly defied the city by
operating without a permit from the
city council and enjoining the city in
the courts from interfering with them,
have "a hard row to hoe" in obtaining
license.
It's the city's move now" is the way
the authorities express it.
To Act on Probers' Advces,
Clubs with a police court record also
will probably find rough travelling be-
fore the committee.
The committee, it is understood. will
act mainly on the result of the official
investigation, as reported to it by the
police department.
Police and detectives are keeping an
eagle eye on all of the clubs, and say
they must "toe the mark"
Police Chief Beavers says he has
heard considerable complaint of late
concerning the operations of certain OF
the clubs, and declares that all viola
| tions of law will be vigorously prose-
cuted.
That the authorities have the clubs
under close surveillance was demon
strated yesterday afternoon when F. o.
Sappington, manager of the Moose club.
was hailed to police court to answer to
two charges-selling liquor to persons
not members of the club, and keeping
the club open on Sunday.
Moose Pays $500 Fine.
Detectives Cowan, Ozburn, Cocker
and Handy invaded the Moose club
last Sunday a week ago and told the
court they found it open, in full swing,
and doing land office" business Fully
100 persons were there, the officers said,
and several bartenders, attired in the
characteristic white aprons and Jackets,
as we'll as several walters. were kept
busy supplying thirst slayers" They
said they also met men on the stairs
going out with liquor in their pockets.
In the other case Detectives Shaw
and Vickery presented w. B. Crisp and
Ben Peyton, young men, both of whom
testified that they bought liquor in the
club. Both denied they are members
of the club, but said they entered the
place with a member.
| Councilman c. H. Smith, acting re-
corder imposed fine of $5O075 in this
case, and bound Sappington over in the
other case on the charge of running a
tipping house on Sunday. Sappington
however, later agreed to pay the $500
fine and not appeal the case on condi-
ton the Sunday case was dismissed.
This was done.
Sappington then walked down to the
station sergeant's office and signed a
check for $500.75.

ACENTSCALLED IN
MILEAGE HEARING
Commission Makes Extensive
Plans for Final Investigation
of DrummerS' Claims.

The Georgia railroad commission is
preparing to enter extensively into
the mileage pulling" question. set for
final hearing on October 10.
Both the railroads and the travelling
men realize that the commission is de-
termined to get right down to brass
tacks in this hearing, and they, as we'll
as the commission, are preparing them
selves accordingly.
The commission has summoned nu-
merous witnesses already, and today
subpenas for the following station
agents were sent out: F. H. Barker
A. B. and A. agent at Talbotton; j. NJ
Wooten, Unadilla, G. S. and F.; E. L.
Porter, Blackshear, and E. L. House
Sylvester, A. c. L.; j. n. Moses, Rich
land, and c. H. Barnes, Conner, S. A. l.;
R. L. Fields, Bremen, and T. L. Roches-
ter, Norcross, Southern, and E. M
Switzerland and w. H. Colgate, Ten
mile. c. of Ga.
Concerning the witnesses summoned
today and previously, the commission
gave out a statement this afternoon. as
follows:
Conductors To Be Quizzed.
The commission selected names
of conductors of the highest profess
sional and personal character, with
experience, and running on day To-
cal trains, on five prominent Geor-
g1a systems. Information as to the
standing and character of these
men was obtained from outside per-
sonal sources and not from any
railroad officials, not one having
been consulted, nor knew the COM
mission intended to subpoena con-
ductors at ALL
1t has been contended that con-
ductors do not have time to pull
mileage; that it would interfere
with their train duties and cause
delayed schedules, etc; that many
passengers would try to work short
mileage on them; would check bag
a. gage one route and travel another.
or a man holding mileage and no
baggage would check excess bag
gage for others, etc. The commits
sion wants flrst-hand knowledge
from these men, and straight infor-
nation as to abuses practiced or at
tempted to be practiced on them.
The commission has selected on
each of the larger systems in the
state, without outside suggestion or
assistance, two stations-one strict
ly local and the other at a june
ton point-and subpenaed agents
at these points. The station points
selected are typical of the fair
sized average Georgia town worked
by drummers.
All State Witnesses.
1t has been contended that sta
ton agents have too many duties
and too little help, and between
selling tickets, handling baggage,
express and freight, railroad and
commercial kilograms, etc, have not
time to exchange mileage promptly,
thus delaying passengers.
The commission wishes to get
f1rst-hand knowledge from these
agents. as to their duties, how long
it takes them to write out and is
sue mileage exchange tickets; how
long before train time the average
passenger calls for a ticket and to
have his baggage checked, etc;
what time they have to exchange e.
mileage, etc.
These conductors and agents are
all state witnesses, and will first
be examined by the commission.
and then turned over for cross ex-
animation to the Travellers Protec-
tive association and the railroad

Those women Of the smart set who
find that a winter i'm the country has
charms not 10 be offset even by the season
IN town have hit upon a novel scheme 10
work out their social salvation and do away
with any possibility of being forgotten by
their friends in town. These "out-of-town-
ers" have inaugurated receptions In the
more old-fashioned hotels. preferably those
Of Fifth avenue. Thus they do up their
obligations and keep themselves In line
with their friends. 1t is certainly far less
trouble than il would be TO have these
functions in their own homes. They use
their own silver for the tea table, and there
their responsibility ends. After ordering
such refreshments as they wish served the
hostesses have nothing TO do but arrive
sufficiently early TO see that all is well,
that the florist has put the plants In proper
places. and-to pay the bills!
A large tea given i'm town will be far
more successful than one in the country.
Even ones nearest neighbors think nothing
OF the trip to town for this reception,
though the town friends would probably
not have gone TO the country for a mere
tea Even wet weather will be powerless TO
dampen the enthusiasm of the guests for
this new kind of reception.
training school for wives is said TO be
the great need of society to-day. Sundry
young men who married in haste and arc
already feeling the chill of disillusion creep
over their marital felicity are thinking to
ward off the evil day by educating their
wives. The trouble is that each impress
s!onable youth was so enamoured Of the
eyelashes and the rosebud cheeks of his
fair one that he paid no attention TO her
mental or spiritual qualifications. Now he
finds at this late day that Marie, poor dear,
never went to school much because the
books hurt her eyes, and she wouldn't have
a governess because the old thing was so
