LOCKER CLUB
ENDSEENBY
WRIGHT

Seaborn Wright, Of Rome, the IA
nous prohibitionist and father Of the
present dry" law in Georgia, argued
a case in the Supreme Court to-day.
which, II affirmed, will, he says, close
every locker club and near-beer sa-
loon in the State.
The case came up from the Superior
Court of Floyd as that Of Wilkerson
VS.. Martin and the Hill City Club.
Wilkerson is the president of the Law
Enforcement League in Rome and
Wright is the leagues attorney.
The club was proceeded against and
closed under that section of the code
permitting any citizen to enjoin' a
blind tiger" as a nuisance. This is
the same section of the code under
which three fourths of the saloons in
Macon already have been shut up.
The Rome club pleads. however
that it does not operate its lockers for
profit in any manner. 1t says that
each member is served from his lock-
er at the actual cost of the liquors
each order served a service fee of
. 1-2 cents, which fee goes to liqui-
date the running expense of the club.
Judge Moses Wright, in the Supe-
rior Court of Floyd, held that this fee
for service constitutes an element or
profit to the club on the dispensing Of
liquors, and. therefore is altogether
unlawful, and it is upon that point
that the club appealed.
Wright, for the Law Enforcement
League Of Rome. asks that the Rome
court ruling be affirmed. and that the
Supreme Court further state. If it

Chances of Loss Not
One Out of a Billion.

In answer to a question What
would happen If the man making the
note should become bankrupt" the
answer is that the man to whom
credit will be extended on a four
months note by solvent bank is
not apt to fail within four months.
The chances OF his failing must be
considered, however. 1t Is far less
than one in ten thousand. The mem
Der bank Of good standing under the
bank examiners report failing within
the fixed period of four months is
not one in hundred thousand
The measure of probability Of both
the maker Of the note and the bank
both failing within the fixed period
Of four months is one in ten thousand
times a hundred thousand. or one out
Of a billion. But in such a COntin-
genCy the Government has the safe
guard of the reserve of the member
bank on deposit: it has also the fur

Southern Pacifc's
Bonds Cheap at 81
Convertible 4s, Called Good Invest.
ment, Selling Under Price
of Month Ago.

Southern Pacific convertible 4 per
cent bonds are attractive for invest
ment around the present level of 81.
at which, maturing in 1929, they yield
$40 per cent income.
These bonds have made no response
to the S-point advance of Southern
Pacific stock. In fact, they are SELL
ing ? points under the price at which
they were traded in a month ago.
SO large a yield on a bond, so safe
as to interest and principal as the
Southern Pacific convertibles, is I'M
usual even in the present investment
market. Early in 1913 these bonds
sold at 80 "a, and a year ago they
ranged between "a and IS. The low
point reached during the current year
was S4.
The convertible feature of the
bonds is of no particular value at
present, The bonds are exchangeable
for stock on the basis of 1870 for the
shares at any time up to June l, 1919.
Whether Southern Pacific viii sell at
1870 before the conversion privilege
expires is, Of course, a purely specu-
lative question, and the stock would
have to sell above 1870 to make the
exchange profitable for the bond
holders.

No Gain for Either
In I, C,-S, P, Merger
Only Enmity of Other Powerful sys.
tens Could Result Says Illinois
Central Officer.

CHICAGO. Sept 2O.-"Nothfng
would he gained for either road in a
control of the Illinois Central by the
Southern Pacific" an executive officer
Of the Illinois Central said yesterday.
There IL nothing in the report, as
there have been no negotiations for
snch control And what would be
gained As a matter of fact, this is
the very move that railroads are now
trying to steer clear Of. As the situa-
ton stands the Southern Pacific de-
Hvers business to and receives pas
seugers and traffic from half a dozen
roads entering the New Orleans dis
trict from the North and East. If the
Southern Pacific were to tie up with
the Illinois Central or any one of its
connections it would turn all the other
lines against the combination and the
latter would be dependent solely upon
what it could originate itself.
1T was this control Of through
routes that caused the Chicago and
Northwestern to enter a deal with tho
Northern Pacific and that was the
prime reason for the Milwaukee and
St Paul extending to the coast.
The Great Northern by purchasing
the Burlington threw all their traffic
together. and the Milwaukee & St
dul, NoIlu"tSleTH ana OlueI TOduS
ending in the Twin Cities were forced
to get what they could from the
Northern Pacific. The old Wisconsin
Central was purchased by .h- 500,
and the st. Paul built to the coast
and the Northwestern hooked up with
the Northern Pacific, leaving the Chi
cdgo Great Western and Illinois Cen
trail in the lurCh. The Illinois Central
does a good local business and has 80
many other lines that the St. Paul
situation means little to il, but the
Great Western is starved for such
traffic.
The Union Pacific. while heavily
interested In Illinois Central, does not
discriminate In It's favor in Omaha,
preferring to be on terms for traffic
with all lines entering Omaha.
AS for q transcontinental passen-
ger train route, there is nothing to It.
People would not ride 5000 miles
across this continent without a change
of cars. II would require an average
of five days at fast time. The long
journeys on the trans Siberian Rail
road are said n cause insanity of
passengers"

American Cotton Oil
To Resume Dividends
Latest Estimates Show Earnings of
q to 5 Per Cent Applicable
to the Common.

NEW YORK. Sept. 20.-The under
standing that the management Of the
American Cotton OIL Company this
year is disposed to pay to the common
stockholders whatever dividend may
have been earned, and the fact that
the latest estimates showed earnings
applicable to the common Of between
4 and per cent, has caused cheerful
expectancy on the part of persons
with whom the stock was a favorite
previous TO the last two nom dividend
paying years.
The best information obtainable is
that the situation has not altered OF
late except that the high price Of corn,
operating toward higher costs ofilard,
works in favor of the cotton oil pro-
ducers. The new season has opened
favorablv as was the case last year,
but the early promise a year ago was
not sustained and competition for cot
ton seed forced the price to prohibi-
tive figures. This year, however, as in
other years. the important fact to be
determined is the price of cotton seed,
together with the output.
Action on this years dividend on
American Cotton Oil will not come up
until early in November
