CLUB APPEALS To
j. 8. IN LOCKER
FIGHT
Mystic Ark Knights Garry Bat
lie Against Atlanta to the
Federal Court.

For the first time since the general
prohibition law was attacked, shortly
after il went into effect on January /,
1908. the Atlanta liquor ordinances
were brought before Judge w T. New
man. of the United States court, this
morning. when the knights Of the Mys-
tic Ark. a so-caDed locker club, asked
for an injunction restraining the city
government from interfering with it in
any way.
Two days ago Judge j. n. Pendlcton,
Of the Fulton superior court turned
down its plea for an injunction. and as
City Attorney James l. Mayson would
NOT agree TO wait beyond IL O'Clock to-
day, its officers went to the United
states court for fl restraining order.
The question will bee settled this
afternoon.
Claim Act Is Illegal.
The club claims that the ordinances
of Atlanta pertaining To locker clubs
are violations of the constitution of the
United States. Gober d Jackson az
toIncys for the club claim that the city
council of Atlanta has practiced DIS
elimination thereby violating the con-
stitution and that they have sought TO
legislate organizations out Of existence
by imposing ana cNorbitant license lee
for a locker feature
Further allegations are that the or
diuances are void because OF TINS ulS-
elimination and that i'm calling upon
the officers of the club to make certain
statements concerning the membership
amount of liquor supplies consumed
and like things. the city is making an
effort to compel the club officers to give
evidence tending to incriminale them
selves; that it abridges the privileges
and immunites of citizens and TENDS
TO destroy all rights of citizens,
Others May Follow SUIT.

Of every mistake the republicans make
at their convention, either in the Sc
lection of q candidate or otherwise"
Coming on the heels Of Col. Roose-
velt's announcement that he will ac-
cept the nomination should It be Of
fered him, Senator Bacon's statement
created sensation In republican as
we'll as democratic circles.
'Mr. Bacon says he has conferred
with other democratic senators and
they are in hearty accord with his
views.
The announcement =. ex-President
Roosevelt for the repua .ican nomina-
tion." he declares, makes it Of great
Importance that the democratic nation
al convention should be postponed for
three weeks or month"
The republican national convention
will meet on June 1s. and the demo-
cratic national convention under the
decision Of the democratic national
committee. will convene on June rs.
1t was the view of the democrats that
conditions thruout the country did not
require any time for deliberation either
with respect to candidate or platform.
They had expected Mr.. Taft would
gain the nomination over Senator La
Toilette Or Senator Cummins, and they
felt they would be able to forecast in
advance the kind Of platform upon
which he would run for election.

The matter OF stopping all supplies
Is regarded by the state department as
a delicate one because OF the lack OF

supplies and the cutting off of exports

Charges Made at Lcrimer Hearing.
Chicago, Feb. 2s.-1mmediately after
the Lorimer committee of the United
States senate has reported to the full
body the federal grand Jury in Chicago
will resume its interrupted investiga-
ton into charges that perjury was
committed during the hearings in Chi
cago last autumn.
The grand jury in session in Novem-
ber started the inquiry OF it's own
initiative, and summoned Attorneys
Healy and Marble of the senatorial
committee to assist in the presentation
Of evidence. The lawyers conferred
with the committee and asked to be re-
lieved Of either testifying or assisting
in other ways until the close Of the
committees work. and the grand jury
decided to abandon the matter for sew
eral months
Since that time the transcript Of the
testimony given before the committee
has been filed with the department
Of Justice. however, and the perjury
case has been developed by one of the
government attorneys. He is believed
to be Albert G. Welch, assistant under
District Attorney Wilkerson.
When the examination Is taken up a
month hence it is understood the grand
jury will first consider the case Of John
Broderick. the west side saloonkeeper.

Of comment by the senators themselves.
Another whose testimony will be ex-
amined is Representative W. o. Blair

ago. but has been held over for emerg-
ency 1t is expected to meet again to-
day and ask either for adjournment un-
til the Lorimer committee finishes its
deliberations and reports to the senate,
or for discharge by the court.
In the latter event 1t is likely the
special grand jury called to consider
among other things. charges OF perjury
in the trial Of the packers. also will
take up the charges OF perjury before
the senatorial committee.
The only reason for the four months
delay in the work OF investigating the
Broderick- Blair testimony was the de-
sire Of the senate committee to have
the assistance Of Attorneys Healy and
Marble. It Is understood the commit
tee itself persuaded the grand Jury TO
delay action.
Attorney Healy declined last evening
to comment on the situation further
than to say he did not expect to be in
charge Of the grand Jury investigation.
He will remain ae counsel for the sena-
torial committee. until its final report
to the senate.

over 80 per cent of republicans in

holders, and they are not sincere Ex-
pect that every delegate from Texas

II was pointed out by the Roosevelt
managers that Mr.. Wight and Colonel
Lyon are considered in the light Of po-
litical weather vanes in the south, and
that their action in supporting Colonel
Roosevelt is indicative of the action of
the entire south.
These messages smash the so-called
solid SOUTH said Edwin w. Sims,
secretary Of the Roosevelt committee.
With Louisiana for Roosevelt the
south Is broken. The influence Of Texas
will crumble the Taft organization in
the west, and the success OF Oscar B.
Hundley. of Alabama, in obtaining for
the people there an expression OF their
sentiment by the election Of delegates,

to Mr.. Sims yesterday:
The public land states west Of the
Mississippi river are at standstill,"
declared Governor Carey. "They are
largely dependent upon the Washington
a administration. The west needs Roose-

better than any other man. The voters
other than those controlled by a ma
chine will heartily approve his sug
