old faces will be missing from the
personnel of the company but the COM

the funniest men in the city and the
gymnasts will be the best to be found
and the animals will be seen in the
side show and in the saw dust ring as

Another strong feature again TINS

talent. Not a feature in the entire
program will be imported from outside
of Augusta with the single exception
of L. J. Davis our handcuff king. who

OPERA HOUSE
Wednesday Evening Only, January "a,
Very Good Eddie"

Very Good Eddie" which is to be seen
at the Opera House for one performance,
On Wednesday evening, Jan 24th, is one
of those tantalzing riddles which set at
naught all the best laid plans of mice
and men and managerial geniuscs. For
how could ever such an astute pair of
theatrical wiseacres as Miss Elizabeth
Marbury and F. Ray Comstock possibly
prognosticate that this dainty little musi-
cal play would be the great success of
the past theatrical year in New York?
Not only did every Good Eddie" play
to capacity audiences at the Princess
Theatre for over a year but so greatly
did the demand for seats increase that
before the run was half over, the Mar
bury-Comstock Company was no longer
content with gauging the popularity OF
their production by the commonplace
method of counting up each night For
what sport is there, forsooth to be found
in reading q tally sheet which night after
night registered the identical same fig
ures, and at the end of the sheet reading

ing from the early sale of reserved

CARDS arrangement of the ring and
seats, placing of bleachers, location of
side shows and booths will be exactly
the same as was so successfully car
ried out last year. A change in the
selling of the tickets was planned by
the committee this year in order to do
away with the extra expense of opera
ton and thus there has been no selling
out through the city by the Junior
members of the "Y," but all tickets will
be handled at B. f. Bither's drug store,
$50 Water street, Augusta. There will
be no tickets at Hallowel1, Gardiner or
Winthrop as last year, but only at the
one place. thus making it easy for all
to locate the exact seats they wish to
occupy the nights of the shows.

SUPERIOR court

inson VS.. Jones

In imposing fine or sentence upon John
LaFlamme of this city, against whom Il
LIQUOR nuisance indictment had been
found by the grand jury, Judge Fred
Emery Beane at the Saturday afternoon
session of the superior court gave out
a statement to the effect that in liquor
cases against clubs charged with the vio-
lation of the prohibitory law the club
will be considered rather than the man,
and he warned LaFlamme that whenever
any steward, officer or other party con-
nected with the club comes up he will
be treated as if it were second Of
fence.
&. +. Maher appeared as attorney for
LaFlamnLe, thing a demurrer and urging
in behalf of his client that he was not
the regular steward of the Owl Club,
but had been serving as such while the
regular steward was absent caring for
his mother.
County Attorney W. II. Fisher moved
for sentence and Judge Beane imposed a
fine of 500 and costs of IS, or four
months in jail. Bail was furnished by
Mr.. LaFlamme in connection with the
prosecution of the demurrer before the

JAPAN DENIES
KNOWLEDGE OF
GERMAN PLOT
: PAGE FOURTEEN
(By Associated Press)

TOXIC, March 3.--The declaration
of the japanese government through
Foreign Minister viscount Motono,
that Japan has received no PROPOSE
ton from Mexico or Germany to Join
in possible war against the United
States was supplemented today in a
statement made to The Associted
Press on behalf of the government by
kijuro Shidehara, vice foreign min
lister:
I'VE we're greatly surprised to hear
of the German proposal" he said.
I'VE cannot imagine what Germany is
thinking about to conceive that she
could possibly involve US in war with
the United States merely by asking
Mexico. This is too ridiculous for
words. Needless to say. Japan re-
mains faithful to her allies"
In response to question regarding
Japan's attitude toward the anti-Jap-
anese measures which were brought
forward in Idaho and Oregon, M. Shide-
hara said he had especially requested
newspapers to refrain from inflamma-
tory comment. advising that the mat
ter be left for treatment through diplo-
matte channels.

Melpolder Refuses Boy New Shoes;
Benny Winslow Steals Old Junk

Little Benny Winslow stole some
junk from the old plant of the Reli.
ance foundry on North F street a week
ago last Friday.
He sold the junk and with the pro-
ceeds bought pair Of shoes for him
self.
He was arrested and yesterday in
police court was released on his prom
Use to behave in the future.
Benny's mother says his fleet were
on the ground" and that he was forced
to remain out Of school because of lack
of shoes.
Meipolder Refuses Boy Shoes.
John T. Melpolder refused to buy
shoes for the boy when he applied and
later turned a deaf ear on the boys
mothers plea. He already had sup
piled shoes to two smaller children.
This was the first appeal from that
family this winter, according to Mrs.
Winslow.
Mrs. Winslow says Melpolder's rea-
son for refusing was stated in this
wise: "The boys father is able-bodied.
Let him provide him with shoes"
She says the father went to work
a week ago last Monday for the first
time after two weeks illness and that
he had been idle short time before

because of the death of his brother.
She was sick in bed with the grip at
the time Of boys trouble, she says.
Thought Junk Abandoned.
Benny was with several other boys
of the neighborhood when he took the
junk, his mother says. She explains,
for the boys, that they did not know
the junk was valuable and they
thought it had been abandoned.
Benny is Is years old. He goes to
Garfield school. When Melpolder re-
fused to buy shoes for him he told the
lad to go see his teacher and get an
order. Last Friday Principal Heironi-
mus Of Garfield school sent note to
the Winslow home which said he
would provide the boy with shoes If
he came to him.
Benny lives with his parents at 1925
North G street. They are negroes.
