Held onInsanity Writ,
ManPleadS Own Case
And Obtains Release
Valdosta Lawyer Is Liberated
From Jail on Habeas Corpus
Petition He Prepared.

VALDOSTA. GA, Oct. 31.-Colonel
Charles S. Morgan. we'll known attor-
ney, who was taken into custody a
week ago and confined in Jail awaiting
hearing on a charge of lunacy, was
given his liberty on a writ of habeas
corpus before Judge ]. G. Crawford. of
attorney and prepared the writ which
was heard by the Judge
Colonel Morgan alleged numerous
reasons as to why he was illegally de-
tained. One of these was that three of
his relatives were not notified of the
action against him. as the law requires;
another that w. A. Rudd. who swore
out the warrant for his detention, is
comparatively stranger to him. and
had no opportunity to know whether
or not the defendant Is insane; that he
believes Rudd's action was based on
hearsay, and that he was inspired by
parties prejudiced against the defend
ant, and that the swearing out of the
warrant for his arrest was not volun-
tary on Rudd's part. He also claimed
that the action against him was taken
without his knowledge, and that he was
arrested on the streets while going
about his business in a peaceable way.
1t is understood that Colonel Nor
gan's release from custody on the ha-
beas corpus will not affect the hearing
in the ordinary's court as to his mental
condition, which is scheduled for next
Monday Ordinary Slmms is disquali-
fled in the case and it is probable that
Judge Crawford will hear it.

Postum Prizes
Ring Like Bride.

They say that a postage stamp sets
an example for success through tenac-
ity by sticking to one thing until il
gets there, but there's an opossum in
Marietta street which is equally per-
tinacious in achieving it's object. For
holding on, it has bulldog beaten to a.
FRAGILE
Mr.. Possum is one Of a half dozen
confined in a cage on the sidewalk in
front of place where things to eat are
dispensed for a price. Early today Mr..
Possum hung his long and glossy tail
out Of his cage. Some idlers in passing
hung a steel harness ring over the kink
in the end Of the tail and Mr. Postum
clamped onto it tightly.
Now the ring was larger than the
meshes in the wire cage, and when Mr.
Possum tried to draw In his tail and
its prize for closer examination he
found 1T couldn't be done. So he mere
ly held on.
He was holding on an hour later, two
hours later. three hours later-and the
chauffeurs and loafers In that block
began placing bets on whether or not
he would drop the ring and pull in his
tail. Up to the time Of going to press
Mr.. Possum still held the ring tightly
clamped in his prehensHe and useful
apDendaSe.

WRIGHT UPHOLDS
INSURANCE LAWS
Comptroller General Says Gov
ernor Will Have No Trouble
Enforcing Regulations.

Comptroller General William A.
corning the new insurance law in which
he seeks to set at rest whatever doubt
as to it's constitutionality may exist in
the public mind.
The comptroller holds that the law
is perfectly in accord with the consti-
tuition, and fits in exactly with the pol
icy of the state for the past 20 years.
He takes the view that the alleged con-
stitutional limit upon the expenses of
the insurance department does not con-
fiict with the law as it now stands-that
the comptroller's office Is entitled to so
many clerks, just as any other depart
ment may be given certain prescribed
help by legislative enactment.
Colonel Wright does not believe the
governor and the attorney general will
experience any difficulty in reconciling
the new law to the mandates of the
constitution. He says the insurance
law is working wonders for reform in
insurance methods in Georgia, and he
hopes It may be permitted to stand I'M
molested and undisturbed by legal at
taCks.
Governor Brown, in order to assure
himself of the constitutionality Of the
act, which had been questioned, re-
ferred the matter not long ago to the
attorney general, and that official has
not yet given the governor an opinion.

Up and Down
Peachtree
Restaurant Man
Likes Club Menu.

Members of the Atlanta Athletic club
have been observing for some time a
young man who appears regularly in
the dining room for luncheon and din
ner. He always occupies the same to-
BILE. and always orders literally. But a
number of the members who frequent
the cafe did not know him. They call
ed over the waiter last night to satisfy
their curiosity.
Gentleman you're waiting on is pref
ty regular isn't he?" they asked
"Yassir," said the waiter. He's here
every meal time sub, and he sho' likes
good eatin'."
"Who is he. Charley?" they asked.
What does he do?"
Il disremember his name, subj" said
Charley, but he's de proprietor Of one
of dem uptown restaurants"
And investigation proved that Char
ley was quite correct.

Surprising Skill Is Developed
by Physical Director ToepeI's
Fair Young Squads.

A few favored onlookers at the basket
ball practice games of the normal de-
partment of the Girls High school are
convinced today that man is soon going
to lose his crown in another of his
realms.
Some really surprising skill in game
framed more for youths rough and dar-
ing than maids gentle and fair is being
displayed by the young women under
the tutelage of DR.. Theodore Toepel
physical director of schools. And the
skill is well mixed with genuine pluck.
The first team is going to be chosen
soon from among the boys" and girls
who are competing strenuously for the
coveted honors.
If the enthusiastic favor which basket
ball has met with shows anything, it
surely indicates that the clinging vine
type of girl is about completely out of
fashion at the Girls High.

BEAVERS PAT IN
FIGHT FOR CLUBS
Chief Stands by Former Re-
port-No GIaring Evils Are
Found on Inspection.

A strong fight to save every locker
club from the ban of council will be
begun at the meeting of the police COM
mittee this afternoon. Chairman w. G.
Humphrey and Chief of Police Beavers
will first make a report on their inspec-
ton of all the locker clubs in the city
yesterday.
This fight is being led by Councilmen
Claude c. Mason, Aldine Chambers, AL
derman John E. McCleHand and others.
They are directing their attack on
Chairman Humphrey, of the police
committee. for It is said, 1t was prin-
cipally through his influence that the
four clubs were recently banned by
council
Stands BY Report.
Declaring frankly that he had found
no evil conditions on his tour of every
club In the city yesterday. Chief of Po-
lice Beavers said today that he still
stands by his report against four of the
organizations The ban on these four
was affirmed by the police committee
Of city council.
Chief Beavers said that while he had
81,
drunkenness or the selling OF liquor to
women, on his tour, he would say moth
ing as to the legal status of several OF
tho clubs. He said he had reported
against the clubs in the first instance
because they had defied the city and
that condition still existed.
CLUBS Essential"
Following his investigation yeS4er-
day, Chairman Humphrey said that the
real social locker clubs were essential
to the city's growth. He said he meant
all clubs run for mutual benefit and not
for individual profit, and that he, too,
thought the majority of clubs in At
lanta we're that sort
But Chairman Humphrey has de-
clared all along that he would never
consent to license any clubs that are
run Illegally. and that he was con-
WINGED several in Atlanta were run that
way.
Chief Beavers and Recorder BrovIes
Joined with Chairman Humphrey In de-
claring that locker clubs were essential
to Atlanta's life.
The members of the cornnot+tee real
lie that their report must show that the
clubs are obeying the law in order to
get the approval of Acting Mayor Can
dler. That means that no more SUNDAY
drinks will be sold in Atlanta as long
as Alderman Gambler remains the citv's
chief executive.
Those who are lighting Chairman
Humphreys attitude on the locker
clubs declare that he has no right to
consider the clubs in executive sessions
OF the police committee, barring even
members of council. They point out
that the law provides that the general
council shall be put in possession of all
evidence concerning locker clubs.
The chief added that he had not been
asked to appear before the council
manic investigators, but would gladly
do so II called. He said he made the
tour at Councilman Humphreys re-
quest, and was a silent inspector unless
a request for his advice was made.

DESIRE TO FIGHT
SAVES GREEK TERM
ON CITY CHANGING

Mike Tillis, Greek, is much more
anxious to fight the Turks than he is to
fight rocks with a pick as a city convict,
and that saved him from a chain gang
sentence today.
With ticket in his pocket and head
ed for his old home in Greece to fight
for his country" Mike celebrated last
night, and was taken into custody by
the police shortly before he was to
board a train. He explained that he
was merely celebrating his departure
for the scene of war.
Judge Broyes, please let me go this
time. l want to get home and fight the
Turks. My country needs me and l

Judge Broyles wished the Greeks and

Theatrical audiences like T.elodrama. They have become educated beyond the old fashioned type of the have the papers play. but they they a stil ii iias K e is presented by the Poli Players this week, is frankly naelodra1nattc. There is such sharp line drawn between the hero and the villain that you can see 'em in the dark and you frequent ly do
 Conan Doyle's detective stories cre- out the world that William Gillette de- termined to arrange them in play form He played the Star part of Sherlock Holmes and made one of the greatest successes of his career.
 There is a. thrill every few minutes in the play. The clash between crin- inals and their P1Tsuers Is aaways tiys+ion in, he has chosen the Larabee case as material from which to weave the plot. A girl has certain letters which who Is about to be married: and nat urally does not want to have any scandal. Sherlock Holmes and Prof. Moriarity. the king of the criminals, Then ensues a battle of wits that Is intensely interesting.
 One of the most exciting scenes is the first part of the second act where Prof. Moriarity's underground offioe is shown. There is air of mystery and suspense about this scene: The announcing arrivals and the greenish glare which is thrown over the profes- sor,s face, all combine to make an ef- fective piece of stage craft.
 The scene in Holmes quarters in Baker street was also good The great detective is depicted in the scenes with his friend, pr. Watson, which have become famous through the pop ularity of Conan Doyle's books.
 A. H. Van Buren, the popular lead ing man, was fine in the part of Sher- lock Holmes. Faultftnders might say who was generally supposed to be gatlnt of build and thin in the face. But you can't make 8 robust man thin in one week Anyway. Mir. Van Buren brought out everything there was in the part.

every part being assigned to the one most fitted for it's interpretation, with the result that a drama of impe4tng attraction has resulted which charms from beginning to end. The setting and scenery is particularly effective, and the action is well sustained throughout, especially in the second and third acts which in plot. concep- tton and execution is ideal and mar velous1y real.
 The: drama, to which a slight tinge of comedy has been added, that en- hances it's beauty, is laid in a Ne vada mining camp of the present time, where Glenn, Sonnie and Rhy MacChes- ney have been orphaned by sthe death Of their father, a prOSpector, whose legacy included but a home, the inter est on a small invested sum of money and an apparently worthless mining claim in the hills.

 AS RFy MacChesney, Miss Cleveland was again given an opportunity to display her exceptional powers of dis stimulation, girlish ingenousness, and intense dramatic expression, and in the third and fourth acts she rose to the occasion with undeniab1e beauty and talent
 As Louis Beresford, John Carroll was a revelation of his audience who were treated last night to a display of his powers hitherto withheld. Ills inter pretation of the part in scope, degree and manner of exemplifcation was ideal and it is hoped that his art may be given similar opportunities.
 As Stephen Towniey. Harry Ingram was again seen in the principal part and of his powers of portrayal noth- ing new may be said.
 Allen Dewitt as Glenn, and Margaret Lewis as Maggie, introduced the com edy and were well cast, although the former was prone to slight exaggera- ton of the part during the first act.
 Bertha Krieghoff, Mrs. Blk, and John Byrnes, as her husband an Eng lish settler, were heartily appreciated, as the parts were unusually adapted to each. Bernard Craney and Alfred Smith in minor parts with Master Paul Kelley as a juvenile, added ma terialy to the enjoyment of the even Tn
