All locker clubs in the city will un-
dergo a rigid investigation by the po-
lice department prior to the granting
Of city licenses in October, with view
to wedding out the .undesirabes" It
Is generally understood several of the
clubs will be forced to close through
the refusal of the police committee of
council to give them d 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 It will be
within the power of the committee to
refuse a license to any club not wanted.
Several of the clubs. it will be remem-
bered have openly defied the city by
operating without permit from the
city council and enjoining the city in
the courts from interfering with them,
and these clubs. it is gently limited, will
have "a hard row to hoe"/in obtaining
a license.

the authorities express it.

said they also met men on the stairs

In the other case Detectives Shaw
and Nickery 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-

case, and bound Sappington over in the
other case on the charge of running

MILEAGE HEARING
Commission Makes Extensive
Plans for Final investigation
of DrummerS' Claims.

The Georgia railroad commission is
preparing to enter exhaustively 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
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.; ]. N. Moses. Rich

r. L. Fields, Bremen, and T. L. Roches-
ter Norcross, Southern, and E. M.
Switzerland and W. II 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-
gia 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 pun
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
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 first-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
first-h 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
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
