When the whisky is brought to
Macon it probably will be stored
in local warehouse, pending dis
position OF proceedings to deter
mine the governments right of
seizure under the section referred
to. In the event it is found that
the seizure is legal, the whisky
will be conhscated and sold; in
case it is found to be not legal, it
will be turned over to the sheriff
OF Coffee county, for destruction,
if the state courts warrant such
action.
The decision of the United
States judges delivered yesterday
morning into court by Judge
Speer, upholds the state prohibi-
ton law. Its only effect, besides
this, is to give the whisky back to
the state officers in the event the
government seizure is found to
be illegal. Either way it is taken,
George Davis and Wiley Will
liams, owners of the liquor, are
losers, as the government wins on
one side and the state on the 9th

WET WALKOVER WEDNES-
NESDAY

Wednesday the Fitzgerald
peerless aggregation of FASTENERS
walked right over the strong
Dawson team to six inning vic
tory, 4 to 3. The home team gar
nered more hits than did the visi-
tors but the Colonists played
tighter ball and made their hits
when hits were necessary. The
feature of the game was-a pref
ty double play, Barber to Milf
gan, Barber snatching one out of
the atmosphere and pegging a
man at second; the hitting of l.
Thrasher, George Norris and
Hank Hates was worthy of men
ton also.

GOVERNMENT SEIzEs
CONTRABAND WHISKY
DEPUTIES WILL BRING 2
CARLOADS TO MACON.
JUDGE SPEER ISSUES OR
DER.

Macon, Ga, June 15-The $751;
900 worth of liquor seized in Cot
fee county, which has occupied
the attention of the state and
United States courts for several
weeks, will be brought to Macon
as soon as possible by Deputy
United States Marshals Frank
Riley and Cooper, who now have
the whisky, under an order of
seizure made yesterday by Judge
Emory Speer. The federal courts
decision upholds the Georgia pro-
hibition law.
The liquor will be brought to
Macon by freight as soon as it
can be removed from the sidtrack
of the DELLA, Pinebloom & Val
dosta railroad at Mobley's siding,
in Irwin county, where it was TAX
en- to remove it from the jurisdic-
ton of Sheriff David Ricketson,
of Coffee county. The whisky is
in $50 packages, loaded in two
freight cars designated as "Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Texas, No. $50
TO-" and Louisville and Nashville
No. 92923."
Deputies Act Hastily
Upon the petition of Assistant
District Attorney Wallace Miller,
Judge Speer issued the order on
Tuesday afternoon and Deputy
Marshal Cooper left Macon i'm
mediately for Fitzgerald, where
he was joined by Deputy Marshal
Riley, who was attending a ses-
sion of federal court at Valdosta.
The two went to Mobley's siding
and took possession of the whisky
from watchmen employed by
Deputy Riley and Cook Clayton,
clerk of the United States court,
who were appointed custodians of
the liquor pending the disposition
of the petition for injunction filed
by Wiley Williams and George
Davis.
The seizure was made quietly,
even before the decision of Judge
Pardee, Newman and Speer, over
ruling the petition for injunction,
was delivered. This was done, it
was said, to prevent an attempt to
remove the whisky. Rumors were
aAoat Tuesday night that the
whisky was to be seized by the
government, but Mr.. Miller and
the deputy marshals refused to
talk, as did Judge Speer, who stat
ed that the matter was in the
Blossoms of the chancellors."
Based on Criminal Code.
The whisky was seized by gov
eminent officials under the au-
thority of section 240, of the Grim
inal code, requiring all liquor for
interstate shipments to be mark
ed SO that the name of the con-
signee, the quantity of the goods
and the contents of the package
can be plainly shown. In this
case, the shipment was not prop
erly marked, Mr.. Miller contends,
the name of the consignee failing
to appear; another defect is Il

Managing a baseball club and
a sporting section are similar in
several respects. Run the club or

displease the others, run it to suit
