Nashville, Sept, 20 Without alter
ing the law enforcement policy which
he recently inaueurated Judge A. B.
Neil Of the criminal court on Friday
morning modified his ultimatum to The
forty defendants under suspended sen
tences by extending the time allowed
them for the surrender Of their liquor
licenses and the disposition Of their
stocks Of goods until October / The
original order Of the court in the cases
provided that the wOrkhouse sentences
Of ninety days imposed on the defend.
ants and suspended, should. become
effective in the event they had not sur.
rendered their licenses by Friday morn
ing, In allowing the defendants ad-
ditiOnal time in which to comply with
his order, Judge Neil said:
The defendants who pleaded guilty
last Monday have asked The court TO
indulge them until October 1 SO they
can dispose Of their property. This
seems to be fair aud reasonable re.
quest, and as all of them have sienilied
their intention or abiding the judgment
Of the court, the court grants the re.
quest. In doing so however, the court
is moved by the reasOnableness and
business Of the request, and this order
must not be construed to indicate that
the policy Of the court will be changed
in the slightest degree,
In addition to this declaration from
the bench, Judge Neil would not make
any statement for publication. definite
ly indicating what his course in the
cases Of the 300 other saloonists and
slot machine operators, which are sci
for trial on September 29, Whether Il
was his desire that his action on yester.
day in the cases in which penalties
have been imposed and workhouse
sentences suspended should be con.
strued as a warning TO others TO make
arrangements to quit business on Octo-
Der /, he did not expressly indicate.
But ii was clearly implied by the judge
that his action in the other cases would
be in line with his action in those in
which penalties have already been i'm.
posed but what time will be allowed
the defendants in the other cases is a
matter Of speculation.
Said Judge Neil: Il have TO pass
upon cases as they are presented TO me-
that is when defendants plead to in
dlctments. All those persons who
pleaded guilty on last Monday stand
ready TO abide the judgment Of the
court They only ask this additional
indulgence that they may be allowed

TO dispose of their property.

The dinner, by the bye, is prepared

Big Caravans.
Often during the long hours Of the

caravan. Surrounded by huge bales
of cotton, cases Of opium and bundles
OF carpets come troop Of Persians
on pilgrimage to Mecca or Kubella.
who for safety's sake generally travel
with large, well-guarded caravan.
Their well-flled saddle-bags contain
everything necessary for their six to
eight-months journey. So accustomed
do the Persians become to the pace
of their mules, they can doze comfort
ably on their backs through the hot
hours Of the afternoon without run
ming the slightest risk Of misadventure,

The most useful vehicles for long
journeys in Persia are the palakis and
kajavahs, the quaintest contrivances
for travel to be seen anywhere. These
Persian cabs" are fixed upon mules.
Some skill, too, is required in load
ing up the mule with its human
freight, care being taken that the two
people who travel side by side are
about the same weight. If a tiny hus-
band and a fat wife have 20 SO toGeth.

last so as to equalize the weight.
Similar care has TO be exercised in
dismounting, for If one passenger
jumps out without giving warning OF
his intention. his neighbor is shot to
the ground with unseemly haste. The
only difference between the kajavah
and the palaki is that the latter is
open, while the former is covered with
a light waterproof roof and is cur
tanned against bad weather.
The most comfortable means OF
travel, sacred to the use of the
weaILhiest class. is the takhtiravan.

box about seven feet long and five
