POLLARD CASE To
OPEN THINGS UP

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 2S.-They have
decided to "let down the bars" in the
trial of Pollard in the Superior court
for circulating inflammatory publica-
tons against the street car company,
and as a result the whole question of
the street car strike, the dynamiting Of
cars, and kindred affairs is to be en-
tered into, though, of course, only in
the relation these things bear to the
charge on which Pollard was indicted.
Judge Hill announced that the "bri-
ole will be taken off, and the widest
latitude allowed both sides in the con-
sideration of all questions affecting
the case. This means that it will prob
ably last all the week, and possibly
longer before going to the jury.
The state is endeavoring to show
that Pollard, who came here as strike
leader, is directly responsible, through
his publications and statements, for
the scenes of violence which have oc-
Cured in connection with the strike.
I'VE will show" says the state, that
his paper was an incendiary paper cal
culated to inf1ame the strikers, and
their sympathizers, and to do violence
to the men termed "scabs."

WANT To CHANGE
FEE LAW ON LIQUOR

ATLANTA, Ca, Nov. 2S.-An
amendment providing that percent
age of the 1O-cent fee required by the
state on all liquor shipments be ap-
Dropriated to employ staff of audi
tors to check up all liquor shipments is
proposed by Senator w. J. Eakes, of
the Twenty-seventh district. author of
the measure authorizing a division OF
the revenue among the express agents,
ordinaries and the state.
1T was clearly an oversight on my
rart that the salary limitation, botn
as to aggregate in the year and per-
centage (or salary and commissionl
was not put upon the express agents
in the various counties as applies to
ordinaries," said Senator Fakes, "and
l think the law should be amended at
the next session of the legislature 80
that when the agent or agents in
each county receive 5000 annually, in
dividually or collectively lin case
there is more than one agent in the
county, they should then go on the
percentage basis, the same as ordl,
naries."
The auditors Senator Fakes pro-
loses to employ not only would cheek
liquor shipments, but go into every
county of the state and investigate the
affairs of each department.
The reason provision was made for
compensating the agents, Senator
Eakes said, was they were made re-
sponsible for enforcing the shipping
laws without providing remuneration
for the work of keeping records and
making affidayits. Representatives of
the Southern Express Company con-
ferred with him, he said and agreed
that if the proposed bill would make
an exception of salaried agents of the
company, allowing fees in those cases
to so to the company, they would
make no fight on the bill.
There being only twenty-one salaried
express agents in the state out of a
total of S75, the ordinaries and agents
thought best to concede this proposi-
ton from the express company, Sena-

TWO ZEPPEL|N5'
LOST IN RAID On.
ENGLISH COAST.

LONDON, Nov. 2S.-Two Zeppelins
were destroyed during last nights raid
on the northeast coast of England, the
crews of both airships perish1ng.
The official statement announcing
destruction of the raiders, says the
German airships burst into flames on
being attacked by defending airplanes
and fell into the sea, while attempting
to escape. One of the Zeppelins de-
stroyed fell into the North Sea at a
distance of nine miles from shore,
and sank quickly.
The casualties sustained were small,
the war office asserts, while the prop
erty damage inflicted is insignificant.
Seven zeppelins have been destroyed
in England this year and six in other
fields, official reports said today. The
war office statement does not say how
many of the raiders crossed the coast
last night, but states points in York
shire, Durham and Midland counties
were bombarded

her from the flames.

slender waist, and then make sure

CITY COUNCIL To
MEET IN RE GULAR
SESS|ON7:30P.M.

The regular semi-monthly meeting
of the Mayor and City Council will
be held tonight at 1880 o'clock in the
ity hall. A session of much import
ance will be held, vitality affecting the
people of the city.
Among the most important questions
of business will likely be the fire de-
partment, with the strong prospect Of
adding an automobile fire pump to the
equipment which would displace the
old, almost discarded engine and hose
wagon. The death of one of the fire
horses two weeks ago brought the fire
department and its needs to the fore
front again. Along with this is ex-
pected to come the matter of fire in
surance rates. When the last meet
ing was held, it was generally agreed
that all members of the council would
endeayor to be present tonight, and
that a report from the Southeastern
Underwriters Association would be
ready. Their suggestions and state
ments as to the rates and classifca-
tions should certain additions be made
to the department is expected to have
great effect on what will be done.
The library matter will receive the
attention of the Mayor and City Coun-
Gil. The committee from the city Off
cials to make their report is Aldermen
Kalmon, Horton and Poole, and from
the Library association is Crawford
Wheatley, Captain John A. Cobb and
Prof. j. E. Mathis. The good name of
the city is at stake in the differences
which have arisen over the library
matter.
The matter of choosing a successor
to fill the unexpired term of the late
Clerk and Treasurer Harvey W. Wea-
yer may be taken up. 1t is probable
that City Engineer John Ansley will
be named to fill the remaining term
OF one month until Doc Eldridge takes
the oath of office on January 1st Mr..
Ansley is thoroughly familiar with the
affairs of the office, having had it vir-
tually in charge during the last sew
eral months of Mr. Weaver's illness.
Doc Eldridge may be chosen by the
city fathers for the unexpired term as
it would allow time to familiarize him
self with the affairs of the Office be-
fore beginning his regular term.

Lines Tighten About Bucharest.
(By Associated Press


A Teutonic semi-circle around Rw-
eharest and the Rumanian armies ia
Wallachia is gradually but steadily he
ing drawn bloser today. Berlin re-
ports substantial successes achieved
since Monday, including the capture OF
Giurgiu, thirty-seven miles from Bs-
charest, and Curtea de Argos, on the
Argeehu river, eighty miles north
west of King Ferdinand's capital. Ia
occupying the latter town, the Teutnns
apparently drove the Rumanians from
their Topolog line, and may even have
broken the Argechu line near its north
ern end. 1t was along this line that
the Rumanians were expected to make
4 decisive stand in the defense of Bu-
charest, and considerable interest al
tached, therefore, to the statement that
Teutonic forces there continue to make
progress.
Reports of artillery activity coming
from Ypres, Arras and the Armentlerex
district has attracted renewed attention
to the western front, where prevail
ing weather conditions had interferreG
with recent operations. British reports
say English guns bombarded German
positions over the Ypres district dur
Ing all of last night and today, white
Berlin reports recently declared indI-
cations were accommodating that the
Entente forces in the west planned to
launch heavy attacks against the Ten
ton positions at new points In Tzaae@
and Belgium.
Berlin dispatches say that Teutonic
forces repulsed Entente attacks in the
Monastir region today, and that heavy
losses were sustained by the attack
ers, while Paris reports the SerFfana
repulsed German counter attacks is
the Cerna river region.
