ROME ELKS' CASE
CAUSES CLUB BILL
Judge Fite Would Prohibit
Court Officers Belonging to
Locker Organizations.

more or less innocent bill. so far
as surface indications are concerned,
was introduced in the house today.
which has behind it an interesting
story.
The bill is one by Messrs Calhoun
and Johnson. of Barlow, and it pros
vides that it shall be unlawful for any
official whose duty it is to construe
or enforce the prohibition laws. or
cause the same to be done. to be a
member of any locker club or other
society or association that sells direct
ly or indirectly any intoxicating liquor
to any of its members or any other per-
sons. under penalty provided for mis-
demeanors.
This bill was introduced at the re-
quest of Judge A. w Fite. of the
Cherokee circuit, and bears directly on
falldown of court procedure in the
Rome circuit some five or six months
ago. in the court of Judge John w.
Maddox
The Law and Order league of Rome
at that time sought to enion the Elks
club of Rome from operating an alleged
unlawful locker club
The Injunction was presented to
Judge Maddox. who disqualified him
self upon the plea that his son was
member of the club
The solicitor general John w Bale
also disqualified himself on the ground
that he was member of the club.
The consequent collapse of the move
against the Elks locker club in Rome
through these circumstances, caused
nine-day sensation in the Hill city
The injunction proceeding never has
been renewed
This situation was referred to by
Representative Alexander in his speech
on the 'rippns bill last week. and the
bill introduced today by request of
Judge Fite is an outcome of that ad-
dress.
