Win Sessions for 1916.

Secretary Fred Houser, of the At
ANITA Convention Bureau, has been
sIthorized by the executive commit
ice Of the organization to begin ar
r.rgements for the establishment of a
4 inch office of the bureau, with a
,..q.,,cnt man in charge, in San
Francisco during the Panama Canal
r-.uosition. The object is to obtain
The 1916 sessions of as many as pos
s.bl- oi the hundreds of national con-
,.rrions that will meet in the coast
metropolis during the fair.
san Francisco already has won 204
,aIioral conventions" said Mr.. Hou-
ssr Wednesday morning, besides
several hundred smaller gatherings,
for 1915. In 1915 all of these con-
ysations will be held in Eastern or
Southern cities, and the city that is
frst on the ground and makes the
biggest bid for them will get them.
THE establishment of branch Of
fee of the Convention Bureau In San
Francisco during the fair should re-
sult in Atlanta obtaining possibly a
bundled b igconventions for 1916"
The plans for the branch office
have not been worked out. 1t is pro-
posed. however. TO HoOo Sdn FTdn-
cisco with literature and statistics
showing the advantages of Atlanta
as convention city, and the repre-
sentative of the city who is sta
Toned there will proffer personal
invitation to every convention desired
for Atlanta.
The executive committee of the bu-
reau decided the branch office ques-
tior AT a meeting Tuesday afternoon.
Al the same time WILDER l.. Moore

convinced that the powerful prohi-
bition organization that recently has
been cemented together was deter
mined to close every locker club and
saloon In the city, and in spirit
of awe they are watching for the
court action which the prohibition
leaders declare will win them success.
Their appeal rejected by the City
Council, the militant prohibitionists.
MARSHALL: by the Rev. H. NJ. DuBose,
of Atlanta, and Seaborr Wright, the
famous prohibition fighter of Rome,
Ca, have turned to Solicitor Hugh
Dorsey and the Grand Jury. If the
desired action is not secured there
appeals will be made to a Superior
Court Judge for injunctions.
One Victory Key to All.
Indications are that the advice of
Attorney Wright that the most prom
inent clubs be the center of attack
will be taken. If they win their fight
against one prominent club the pro-
hibitionists feel that none of the
others will hold out.
Participants in this struggle are re-
luctant to speak of the details of
their moves, ether than to say that
they will run the whole gamut of
political and legal means of stopping
what they consider violations of the
law.
Members of Council declared Wed
nesday that they considered the whole
matter out of their hands for the
present. They admit they have been
liberal in granting locker club Ii
censes, one new club license having
club having had it's license renewed
Alderman Albert Thomson expressed
the views of the members who SYM
pathizs with the law enforcement
propaganda.
Council Passes Responsibility.
Council has licensed clubs to run
only as legal clubs" he said. IF
they are violating the law it is the
duty of other officials to stop them"
Council will not consider any in
reference with the sale of near"
beer until the time for renewal of
licenses comes up in July. In the
face of all of the attacks a large
majority of the members do not hes
itate to say they are satisfied with
the general conduct of saloons.
The move for court action threat
ems an upheaval of the whole pro-
hibition status and should it prove
successful, the duty of readjustment
would fall upon Council.
