Plan of PrOhibitiOnists

In a letter to The Age Herald, pub
Gshed Thursday, J. F. Thompson, a
we'll known lawyer and one of the
most prominent prohibitionists of the
state, divulges the plans his element
. proposes to carry out when they get
possession of Alabama's legislative
E>l administrative departments.
VI course, discussion of questions
Of his character is about like figur-
ing On what is going to happen "when
the sun grows. cold and the stars are
old But Mr.. Thompson says he is
one of the inner circle and is assist
ing in the preparation OF a proposed
law to make effective the Webb anti
shipping bill passed at the last ses-
sion of Congress, therefore his card
is entitled to be considered, despite
some of the wild notions it contains.
1.-THE proposed law" says Mr..
Thompson, "takes up individuals and
defines the amount of liquor that each
may buy, transport, or have trans
ported, and this amount is regulated
according to "information and belief, y
as to such individuals ability person
ally "to consume same"
For instance, Mr.. Thompson ex-
plains, one man may lawfully receive
only four quarts during the week pre-
ceding July A and December 25 of
each year, but another will be per-
mitted to receive four quarts in each
"a hours, and unless he transports or
has transported an amount in excess
of that, it will not be received as evil
dence in any court of law or equity in
the state.
This would necessitate a card index

TEARNEY RESISTS
A CLOSING ORDER
President of Three Eye League
Wants to Keep Chicago Cafe
Open Despite Suits.

Chicago, May 12.-Former Alder
man Al r. Tesrney, president of the
Three-Eye Baseball league, is trying
to keep the city from prosecuting him
for keeping his cafe at Thirty-ffth
street and Calumet avenue open after
l o'clock. In that cafe Tearney sold
liquor last winter and was found gull
ty by a jury in Judge Caverly's court
of violating the g. m closing ordi-
nance.
Captain Max Nootbaar Of the Thirty
fifth street station reported 130-odd
violations of the ordinance to the city
prosecutors Office in nearly as many
days. More violation on the last 10
days OF April and on May / and 2
were reported by Captain Nootbaar.
City Prosecutor McInerney has
started prosecution on those reports.
In his answer to the city's suit Tear
ney says he is being imposed on by
the city in an unjust manner when he
is prosecuted for keeping his cafe
open.
The former alderman even goes so
Tar as to say he legally is entitled

to keep open his cafe as long as he
wants to. He admits in his suit that
he closes the bar attached to the res
taurant at l o'clock.
Tearney also contends he is threat
ened with other prosecutions, if he
keeps his cafe open after l o'clock.
In the same bill he asks the court to
restrain Charles c. Kirk, who is an
attorney, according to the bill, from
prosecuting a suit against him for
eieeting Kirk from the cafe after 1
o'clock May 5.
Tearney alleges in his bill that in

THIRTY MACHINES
IN The FORD RUN
Day Is Spent in Pleasant Trip
to Sterling, Using Two
Routes.

About 80 Ford automobiles left the
Horst & Streiter garage on Second
avenue yesterday morning at $3.50, and
arrived at Sterling at 1870, having
gone over the Rock river valley route
through Moline, East Moline, Water
town, Hillsdale, Erie and Linden. They
were met by Is cars, headed by George
Ford of Rock Falls, who is the agent
for the Ford cars at that point. At
Sterling at noon so Ford owners sign
ed an agreement TO become members
of the proposed Ford Good Roads
club, which will be organi ed in Rock
Island in the near future.
II is the intention to organize a
good roads club, the membership of
which will be open to all owners Of
Ford cars in Rock Island and Scott
counties. The membership fee will
be 81 and the dues 81 per year.
The return trip was made by the
way of the Mississippi scenic highway,
leaving Sterling at 2:3O and coming
through Morrison, Garden Plain, Al
bany, Cordova, Port Byron, Rapids
City, Hampton, Watertown, East Mo-
line and Moline, arriving at Rock Is
land at $50.
A great deal of improvement has
been noted on both of these roads, and
according to the statements of num-
Der of parties who made the same
trip in the Overland run two Weeks
ago the road was so per cent better
on an average than it was at that
time.
Practically every foot of the road
has been dragged, but the greatest i'm
provement was noticeable on the road
between Hillsdale and Erie, between
Albany and Cordova, and between Hap
ids City and Watertown. There is no
doubt that these sociability runs to
Sterling and return will not only be-
come popular during the future, but
will prove a great benefit. to both of
those roads.

saloon in the district. / sent every
report of keeping open after l o'clock
to the city prosecutor. Tearney kept
open the latter part Of April and the
first of May.
ION the reports sent in from my
office persons were drinking liquor af-
ter 1 o'clock in what Tearney calls
his cafe. / am going to report the
place every time liquor is served in
the place after 1 O'Clock. My con-
tention is that IL liquor is sold In a
place before / o'clock under a saloon
license the same place can't be
changed to a restaurant after / o'clock.
l don't believe persons sit in cafe
from IL o'clock until 8 or 4 a. N. with
out getting liquor to drink"
Judge Caverly held that view, and
a jury found Tearney guilty of sell
ing liquor in that cafe after 1 o'clock,
although he contended at the time the
cafe was not a part Of the saloon.
IF the court should hold that the
cafe can be kept open after 1 O'Clock
with service bar in the rear, every
saloon in the city will have a cafe in
connection. 1t would be useless to
try to convict any saloonkeeper of
violating that ordinance"
Tearney recently paid more than
$500 in fines for violating the / a. m.
closing ordinance. In those cases a
jury found Tearney's saloon and cafe
were the same place and could not be
differentiated.
Tearney alleges In his petition for
the Injunction against the city in
the circuit court that be is losing
many dollars in profits" because he
must close at 1 o'clock or pay fines
Also he fears endless litigation" on
the part Of patrons il the city con,
tinues TO fine him so he must close
at the hour other saloons close.
