IS
AGAIN IN TOLLS;
FINED BY COURT

Charles Underwood, who has fguI-
ed in police and other courts more
or less regularly since the enactment
of Georgia's bone-dry prohibition
law, was again before Recorder Fort
yesterday. The charge again I'm
derwood on this occasion was one
of doing business without license.
and after a hearing Recorder Fort
imposed a fine of $50 or three
months Imprisonment. The decision
was appealed by E. A. Nisbet who
appeared as attorney for Under
wood. W, 7. Lane represented the
city in the trial of the case.
The facts as brought out in the
case, according to Attorney Lane,
showed Underwood was engaged in
the sale of a concoction probably
made of grape juice, sugar and water.
and the contention of the city was
that Underwood had no license to
sell such drink, inasmuch as the city
license ordinance provides for spe-
cial license fee on the sale of cider.
Underwood has paid a license to
dispense soft drinks in bottles, and
this fact, Attorney Nesbit represent
ed to the court, entitled him to sell
the drink in question. There was no
contention on the part of the prose
cution that the drink was intoxicat-
mo b1t il was set I'm that the drink
sold by Underwood was "cider," in
view in which Recorder Fort agreed
and the fine above stated was ac-
cordingly assessed.

First Result of Wilson 8
H. c. l.. Investi-
cations

WASHINGTON, August by
Associated Press.) The govern
ment's new antitrust suits against
FIVE great meat packing concerns is
being brought by direction of Pres
ident Wilson as one of the first re-
suits of his study of the cost of
living problems.
1t became known today that the
president came to his decision after
a careful study of the investigations
of the federal trade commission and
the hearings before congressional
committees considering bills to con-
troll the packing industry. Confer
ences with members of the federal
commission and Attorney General
Palmer followed. The announce
ment by the attorney general that
the suits would be brought was the
immediate result.
No final decision has been reached
as to whether the suits will be
brought in the civil or criminal
courts or in both.
One feature of the governments
line of action has been indicated as
certain. 1t seems assured the gov
eminent will charge the packers with,
being an illegal trust on the ground
that they control the buying of cat
tie and selling of finished meat
products has not been so clearly de-
fined, but the government has evil
dence in hand which the department
of justice contends will prove that
the packers control the prices paid
to producers.

Central Trains Moving as
Usual Anderson
Announces
PLENTY OF FOOD
NOW IN AMERICUS
Only Human Food to Be
Handled on Seaboard
Air Line

Early this morning H. M. Sellers,
Americas agent of the Seaboard Air
Line, notified shippers an embargo
had been placed by his company on
shipments of all commodities, except
chose intended for human consump-
"tiOn. Hay, grain and similar ship
ments are barred under the terms of
the embargo.
George Anderson, agent of the
Central railroad here, said this af-
ternoon, IN answer to a question as
to whether or not the Central was
refusing shipments, stated trains on
the line between Montgomery and
Macon and Albany were moving on
time and that shipments were being
received as usual.
Announcement of the embargo
created some uneasiness among hest
dents here, but The Times-Recorder,
after an investigation is of the opin-
Ion that no reason alarm exists.
Plenty of Food in Americas
There is plenty of food in Amer
leus, said Frank Lanier, president
OF the Americas Grocery Company
when asked concerning the likelihood
OF householders being inconvenien-
sea by embargo this morning. "There
Is absolutely no reason on earth for
people to become agitated over the
SiEuatlon," he added, and it is my adj
vice TO consumers to continue buy
Ing IN regular quantities, and dismiss
any fears they may entertain as to
scarcity of foodstuffs here result
ing IN anyone going hungry. In the
nrst place the embargo on freight
sums does not affect the movement

consumption, and with the large
stocks already here these can be east
" replenished.

INF Lanier said, "and with proper

supplies. We have plenty of lard

should be conservative in their buy
ing, and should lay in no more than
they need, both for patriotic and &C.
onomic reasons. 70 lay IN larger
supplies than are needed may result
in inconvenience 30 the community,
but it will also almost certainly re-
suit in loss to the individuals who do
it. Prices now arc very hign--al-
most as high as they can possibly go,
and the man who lays il a big sup
ply of foodstuffs nay soon find that
he has bought at the peak of the mar
ket, with prices receding rapidly and
his loss correspondingly large. My
advice to the public is to buy what
ever they need, but avoid the Stock
ing-up' habit, and my prediction is
that the embargo will be raised long
before its effect will be felt here.
