ShreWd Means
Fol- Hiding His
MOonShine

ATLANTA, Ca, Feb. 24.-Moon-
sinners of the North Georgia noun
tains, said to be the cleverest in the
world, can take lesson from Marvin
MCGEE of Atlanta, who has been ar
rested by the federal authorities, fol-
lowing the discovery of hidden still
which they declare was the most in
telligently concealed they have ever
known.
McGee has home on the Adams
vile road, in thickly settled subur-
ban neighborhood, where he operated
the still unknown to his nearest neigh
bors and most intimate friends.
He had secret room Immediately
beneath the fireplace of the house, and
IL 1t the still was concealed 1t was
SO arranged that a flue connected it
with the fireplace and chimney above,
so that the heat and smoke passed out
OF the same chimney.
If MCGEE hadn't taken up beer as
side line he might never have been
caught, but he made the mistake of
storing fifteen barrels of beer in his
house, and this led to suspicious and
a thorough search.

LONDON, Feb. 24.-One of the most
severe storms of srecent years swept
over the British Isles last night and
is still raging early today. Scotland
is the worst sufferer, the damage there
exceeding that wrought in any other
Iortion of the United Kingdom.
Wires are down in all parts of the
kingdom and several ships have sent
up distress signals. The severity of
the storm, however, has prevented the
despatch of assistance, except that fur
uished by warships patrolling the
North Sea.
Reports from the continent says Sc
we're weather prevails generally over
Ill Europe and that the troops there
ire suffering incredible hardships.

COOK WRITES FOR
LAW NFORCEMEN7
OF AUTO TAG LAW

Secretary of State Philip Cook
has just written circular letter to
the sheriffs of the various counties
in Georgia relative to the enforce
ment of the automobile registration
law, in which he states that he is
much gratified over the rather gem
eral way in which this law is being
observed.
Under the terms of the law passed
last summer, the secretary of state is
required to write the sheriffs each
month and call their attention to the
provisions of the law. His February
letter follows:
Il have nothing specially to say
in this letter, except to express my
gratitude for the many prompt re-
plies to my last letter, in which re-
plies / have been promised the hear
ty cooperation of all the sheriffs,
with but three exceptions. Due to
this fact, and also because the pres
ent law meets with the approval of
owners of cars, feel as if we will
have little or no trouble in enforc-
ing this law, particularly in view
the fact that for the first six weeks
OF this year we have registered sew
eral thousand more cars than for the
same period in 1915, the total number
Of cars registered to date being one
half of the total number registered
during the whole of lats year.
I'm this connection, wish to state
that I have been informed that in
some sections of the state a report
is in circulation that my activity in
this matter comes from the fact
that / receive a commission or part
Of the proceeds of the automobile
fees. Please do me the kindness to
deny this. l receive no compensa-
tion in any manner, directly or indi-
rectly, for any service performed in
with this law, but am
trying to discharge, faithfully,
duty imposed upon my Office by law"

The legislative situation favored the

The senate is still on the legislative

situation prevails. Word was sent from

THIRTY SIX GERMAN.
and AUSTRIAN SHIPS
TAKEN BY PORTUGUESE
Report From London.

LONDON, Feb. 24.-The outstanding
feature of todays war news is the
great battle along the western front
where more than quarter of million
Germans continue attacking the
French positions along a twenty-five
mile front. One of the chief ambitions
credited to the German Crown Prince,
who commands the attacking army is
to take Verdon, which has resisted ef-
ofrts of the Teutons since the begin
ming of hostilities.
The scale of the present efforts in
dicates it is the most determined yet
inaugurated to get within striking dis
tance of the great fortress. The bat
tie in that section still RACES furious
ly, with conflicting reports making it
impossible to accurately recount the
~ 1ol OlduEALCL
is terrible on both sides. The Ger
mans have reached Haumont, Brahant
and SamogneauX, but the French claim
to have checked the Germans at Hau-
mont and in Caures Wood East of the
latter oint, the German advance con-
tinues.
An unexpected development in the
WAR situation is the Lisbon report that
Portuguese authorities have seized
number of Austrian and German ships.
Portugal, although not in a state of
war with the Central Powers, main
tains the closest of treaty relations
with Great Britain and the Portuguese
congress some time ago voted to CO.
operate with the Entente Allies when
ever such a step might be deemed nee
essary.

Most Anybody
Will Fall On
Some Things

ATLANTA, Ga, Feb. 24.-The old
saw about 'fooling some of the people
all the time is called to mind by the
Atlanta papers today which patiently
and complacently publish as news the
perenniel fake about Raoul L. Bonnano
eing an Italian duke.
One of the papers even publishes his
picture, and with it goes an interview
giving his views on the war.
Mr.. Boanno is we'll known in. Atlanta
ard throughout the South. He is a mo
tion picture singer and concert bari
tone, and is said to be a mighty nice
fellow outside of his fake claim to
dukedom.
1t was at least three years ago when
the Atlanta newspapers first fell for
him. He claimed to be the Duke of
Miselmeri. Unfortunately for him a
dukedom is "a mighty easy thing to
trace edown, as there are not many of
them in Italy Git isn't like being mere
ount and investigation developed that
there was no such thing as duke OF
Miselmeri.
But the long-suffering and patient
city editors fall for it all over again
from year to year.

Gore Would Warn Americans.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 24.-In
the senate this afternoon Senator Gore.
the blind statesman from Oklahoma,
attempted to introduce by unanimous
consent, a concurrent resolution, ex-
pressing as the sense of congress that
all Americans be asked to keep OF
armed belligerent merchant ships. SEN
ator Brandegee, republican, objected,
and the resolution failed.
Senator Gore also sought to intro
duce a bill prohibiting Americans
travelling on belligerent ships. Later
he issued statement declaring it
seemed to him that the "ship of state
is drifting or driving headlong onto
breakers" He does not believe Ger
many will consent to grant immunity
to armed vessels, or that American
public opinion is such as to justify
war with Germany on account of such
slips.
