mysterious telephone call had the
police hard at work Thursday unrav-
cling an astonishing marital tangle in
which youthful and pretty Mrs. Cora
Barber, who first abandoned single
blessedness at the age Of IS. was the
principal figure.
The call came from the Pryor Ho-

A. Barber was beating his wife. Po-
licemen Hazlett and Bairf1eld arrest

evidence of DR. u. w. Smith, drug
gist at No. IL Carroll street, that
there were other features calling for
investigation.
Admits Three Marriages.
Smiths story showed that Mrs.
Barber had been three times a wife
and perhaps four. She admitted three

from whom she was divorced in 1908;
divorced 1912, and Barber, in Doug

The police. however, produced let

band figured Joseph B. Chance, who
was alleged to have claimed her as his
bride in Marietta in 1913. This let

GRAND JURY
To PROBE:
CLUBS

A Grand Jury probe of Atlanta
locker clubs was begun THURSDAY
when Deputy Sheriff Picnic Miner,
acting under directions from Solici-
tor General Dorsey, began serving
subpenas on officers of the organi-
cations and members of the Police
Commission to appear before the
Grand Jury Friday.
Indictments have been drawn by
Solicitor Dorsey, from the Capital
City Club on down, and the list OF
witnesses will include the many
prominent business and professional
men who are officers of the better
clubs
At the same time it was learned
that the officers of the social CLUBS
where liquor is served as an incident
would inform the Grand Jury that
they would make every effort to com
ply with the law.
Willing to Make Changes.
They will present the premise that
they always have lived within the
spirit of the law, anG will make
whatever technical changes are nee
essary.
The bills of indictment prepared BY
Solicitor Dorsey are against the cor
porations and not against the clur
officers or members. Some clubs II
was learned, already have provided
changes in their systems of keeping
drinks for their members.
Solicitor Dorsey's move was made
after members o. the Atlanta Law
Enforcement League, led by the Rev.
H NJ. DuBose, had conferred with
members of the Grand Jury and with
him
Pastor as Prosecutor.
He was supplied with considerable
evidence. Before the Grand Jury he
will stand in the role as prosecutor
in this as in all other cases.
City officials are very much Wor-
ried over the situation. A majority
declared for a liberal policy, ana all
but three of twenty applications Tor
licenses were granted despite reports
that several of the clubs are being
run for individual gain.
The Grand Jury will investigate
these reports.
Aside from the moral issue city
officials are troubled with another
phase of the case.
Near Beer Sale Attacked.
The Law Enforcement League has
attacked the system of the sale oil
NEAR beer" 1t has been announced
that after the status of locker clubs
has been settled, they intend to take
up the saloons.
Locker clubs net the city approx
mately $4,000 a year income anu
from the present number of saloons
about So, 600 is secured. This amount
has been included in the new budget,
and will still be included whether the
budget is passed as recommended by
the Finance Committee or AMENDED
in accordance with the demands OF
the Aldermanic Board.
Should these institutions be closed
the city would be out S60,OO0; ana
in its present strained financial con-
dition it would find itself in a hole.

Her husband having wrecked one
of the traditions of genius by dis
playing more interest in breakfast
than in high art, Mrs. Jan Kubelik,
wife of the famous violinist, proceed
ed to wreck another of the general
and accepted beliefs concerning the
life of the temperamental genius,
Usually, when famous flddlers,
warblars and such, travel, they are
trailed by a corps OF helpers and ad-
visers that would make the encourage
of king look like a parade of Dr..
Cooks disciples.
But not so Kubel;k.
He has no hired men to tuck him
IN mis- seat when he goes riding, to
hold his hat every time he takes ii
off, to turn up his coat collar and to
proffer advice and encouragement at
every step.
Wife His Adviser.
All of these important personages
is Mrs. Kubelik. She's everything
family to say nothing of confidential
adviser, weather prophet and general
manager of the affairs of the Kubenk
household.
She cares tor the great violinlst as
if he was a little child.
"Ah. he is so temperamental," she
sighed. IF | didn't watch him he
would do the funniest things | have
to see that he wears his overcoat, and
his hat, and l always have TO go to
the theater when he plays, because If
I'm not in the audience he won't play
at all"
And how can l play" interposed
Kubelik, when l have not the in
spiration :"
Asks About His Dinner.
Kubelk and his wife left Atlanta
with Madame Nellie Melba and her
party Thursday to continue their tour
of the United States. appearing in
concert in all of the larger cities
When they left the Georgian Terrace
Mrs. Kubelik tucked her husband in
the automobile pulled his overcoat up
over his ears, jammed his hat down
over what the overcoat didn't cover
saw to it that his feet were covered
with the robes, and then patted his
hand.
Now" she said, you won't catch
cold"
AS for Kubelik, he merely put his
head through the window and asked:

Cor. Sec'y. of the State Mission Board.
TO the Baptists of Laurens and vi
cinity:
Il am addressing you through your
community paper, as we'll as through
the Baptist Courier, appealing to you
to enable me-by personal gift from
each OF you-to pay an embarrassing
debt now resting on your State Mis-
sion Board.
Quite a number of people have sent
contributions, varying from twenty
five cents to ten dollars, but amount
received does not come near paying
the debt. BY just small sacrifice
and some self denial, hundreds Of our
people could send me at least one dol
lar on this debt. This, beg YOU to
do. Please do not imagine that your
ncighbors will send theirs and there
fore you need not bother to send
yours. This is probably just what
your neighbor is thinking about you.
If you send cash, you will receive
a receipt at once, but If you send a
check or post office order, you will
need no receipt. The name of each
given, and amount given, is put on
my book Of remembrance. Act at
once, so we can settle this early in
February.

blame for inaugurating the system of
legal blackmail," as the plan of col
lecting fines and allowing forfeiture Of
bond is called. This has been in
existence In Charleston for some time.
successive administrations having fol-
lowed it.
The report sums up the future OBJ
ject of the league thus:
What we have to propose may be
summed up In sentence: Strict and
impartial enforcement Of law the i'm
mediate method: better laws the ulti-
mate goal. This proposal of pro-
gramme involves certain definite, and
we think reasonable, demands upon
our entire community: ID 1t de-
mands Of the average citizen that he
shall have sufficient interest in the
general welfare of his city to suffer
whatever Inconvenience may be neces-
sary for him TO obey the law and dis
courage its violation by others. This
demand may involve in many cases
Inconvenience, but it is not an un-
reasonable demand, since laws would
not be possible if inconvenience
should constitute a sufficient cause for
their abrogatiOn. If we arc forced
to continue our lawlessness because
the average citizen IS not willing to
make the necessary sacrifice Of his
convenience IN order that the SOW
creignty Of law may be established in
his community, then have we proven,
not that the laws are bad but that
the community is bad; not that the
laws are unfit for the community, but
that the community Is unfit for self
government under any laws.
"t2) In the second place, it de-
mands that our officials shall enforce
the laws without fear or favor re-
gardful Of what the laws provide and
regardless OF what tho people may
want. We realize that this is not an
stances it may cost a man his position
and even his political life And yet
we submit that it is not an unrcason-
able demand, since ii only calls upon
each official to perform his official
oath. Every othc,r Of the law in our
city and county assumes his Office by
swearing allegiance to the constitu-
ton OF South Carolina and to all OF
the laws enacted in accordance there
with. If we can not find men in our
community willing at any risk to put
the obligation Of their oath above
political expcdicncy, we have Yut
proved that we arc not capable of
sclf-governmcnt
C3) In the third place, it demands
that those who are making o bust
ness Of breaking the law shall suffer;
that they shall be made to continue
to suffer until they change their bust
ness when the helping hand should
be extended to aid them to establish
themselves in legitimate pursuits
Probably no one will find this to be
an unreasonable demand, with the
possible exception Of those who are
in the business Of lawlessness.
"(D 1t demands, and if our pro-
is carried out, demands in
way which is Obliged to be urgent
and effective, that the best ability in
our city be commanded to seek out
those laws which will best suit our
peculiar situation, and then with the
tremendous argument which obe-
dicnce to law would put at their com
mand, call upon the law abiding peo-
pie OF the State at large to aid us in
securing such legislation as will be
suited to this THE State

flawless places. To mask their efforts
the league carried on campaign OF
publicity, thereby diverting attention
from the detectives work.
The Liquor Situation,
The report takes up the liquor sit
uatfon and handles it vigorously.
The situation as 1t is spelled out
by facts absolutely proven" 1t says,
means that we have in the liquor
trafiic as at present conducted in our
city and county vast school in law
lessness, an army whose business in
terests demand that they fight for
lawlessness, what amounts to an oath
bound organization, biased in judg-
ment and moral vision by the fact
that their daily employment makes
them enemies to the constitution of
South Carolina and the charter and
ordinances Of the city Of Charleston"
Specific mention Is made in this sec
tion Of the report of the "Sottile
brothers" who are said not only to
advertise how profitable lawlessness
is In Charleston" but also to con
stitute "a rebuff to the increase of
legitimate business and a standing in
vitation to crooks from the ends of
the EARTH"
Heading one section "a Business
~
figures on the freight and express re-
ceipts Of liquor that more than
$3,25O,OO0 are spent yearly for liquor
sold in violation Of the law.
This, the report says, is only a frac-
ton. and it goes on to ask: "Is it
difficult to find one very good reason
FOR the dullness Of many lines Of
Legitimate retail business?"
The report goes on to urge that
the clubs bring themselves strictly
within the law, that their members
may not furnish an argument for law
breaking by others.
The Social Evil,
On the social evil the report is less
detailed. 1t touches on some very
loathsomc spots in the life of even a
Scmi-grcat city The avowcd purpose
OF the league in dealing with this
phase of immortality is constant and
persistent repression Of the prost-
tuition the immediate mcthod; absolute
annihilation the ultimate ideal"
Other minor phases OF the question
arc discussed, many OF them in the
light OF the Illuminating report of the
Chicago vice commission. Gambling
in general, and the race track in par
ticular, take up some of the com
mittec's attention.
Our Investigations seem to justify
the statement that gambling is un-
restricted in Charleston the report
says. 1t further gives list Of places
where operatives claim to have seen
g1mbing.
The police administration is criti-
ciscd by implication, with the state
mcnt that practically the only police

Bad for Business.
Failure to enforce anti-gambling
laws, like the disregard for those re-
stricting the sale Of liquor, the re-
port blames for a tendency to shut
out legitimate business that the lille
gitimate may profit.
Alderman Vicent Chicco Is men
toned as one Of the conspicuous vio-
lators Of the law, and Is alleged to

The report intimates that this con-
dition OF affairs Is decidedly liable to
lead to corruption In the city govern
ment, as has been the case elsewhere.
