KING BOOZE WENT
OUT WITH A JAZZ
NEW YEARS EVE
IN BIG CITIES. BARS WERE
ENLARGED FOR EVENT.

CHICAGO, Ill.-Old King Alcohol
staggered out of Chicago early Tues
day morning to the waning groan of
jazz bands, after the biggest carni-
val night in the city's history.
For days carpenters had been en-
gagged in enlarging arenas of drink
ing emporiums for the midsummer
New Years eve; liquor enough to
make all China giggle was on tap in
the loop, and everything else was in
readiness, even to the famous cafe
fountains, where bold women are
wont to go wading after the goldfish.
Popular hotels, cafes and wine
rooms were stormed by the drinking,
dancing public and, strangely enough,
every room was reserved for Tues
day morning at large Chicago
drink cure" hospital.
Then Comes Remorse.
"When alcohol stepped out re-
morse entered" said a representative
of one drink cure sanitarium. "Many
persons arranged for treatment be-
ginning July LIST, and we made our
plans for the overflow accordingly.
Most of these patients have delayed
treatment until after the first shock
of bone dry Chicago"
The problems of the liquor cure
institutions fade into the background
when compared with those of the big
cafe proprietor, who, after filling ev-
ery possible inch of space with tables,
was forced to turn away some of his
oldest patrons because of the flood of
earlier reservations that almost clogg-
ed the mails.
"But there will be liquor for all,
whether seated or standing" was the
composite edict of the hotel and cafe
men. Despite the 90,000,000 gallons
of whisky in bonded warehouses of
the country there was enough liquor
in decanters and on shelves of Chi
cago to supply all demands, 1T is de-
clared.
Retail Stocks Kept Down.
In most case, however, retail stocks
here were kept down with a view to
closing out with ali goods disposed
of. This plan worked successfully m
many cases.
While clinging to the hope that
the ban would be lifted at least for
few month after rehabilitation is
completed the big saloonists also
made special plans for the final cele-
bration. Some bars that had operat-
ed for score or more years served
free drinks to old patrons, and even
permitted some of them to make
speeches. "Also, every tenor found
his golden opportunity after years of
6isfavor.''
On Tuesday morning soda foun-
tains shot up like spring flowers, for
many of the bars had been convert
ed; in fact, supply houses found it
impossible to fill demands.
Bars Now Restaurants.
Nevertheless, many bars with ex-
travagant fixtures and valuable
paintings have become restaurants.
Even Righeimer's, with its costly ma
hogany, rare paintings and "thous-
and-dollar cuspidors," has been trans
formed into chop suey. The Marine
bar is now soft drink parlor, and
the manager announced he had sent
letters "to Billy Sunday and William
Jennings Bryan asking them to come
tend bar at $4,000 week"

WILSON NTERCEDES,
BUT NEGRO MUST HANG
ALABAMA SUPREME COURT AT
FIRMS DEATH SENTENCE OF
CONDUCTORS MURDERER.

MONTGOMERY.-Unless Cover
nor Kilby should decide to take Of
fetal action in behalf of Sergeant
Edgar C. Caldwell, an eventuality
which is considered extremely inn
probable, Caldwell will pay the ex-
treme penalty for the murder of Ce-
Gil Linton, an Admission street car
conductor, for which he was convict
ed. A jury found the accused guilty
of murder in the first degree and the
death penalty was imposed by the
presiding Judge. Caldwell appealed
to the supreme court of the state.
That tribunal announced Monday
that the judgement of the lower court
was affirmed and August 18th has
been fixed for Caldwell's execution.
Shot Two Men,
The murder of Conductor Linton,
which occurred in Admission Deem
Der, 1918, created a profound sensa-
ton throughout the state. 1t is al
legged that the negro sergeant, then
in the military service of the United
States, boarded an Admission street
car and became involved in an alter
cation with Conductor Linton. Linton,
after a few minutes had elapsed CALI
ed for the assistance of the motor
man, and together they forcibly
elected Caldwell from the platform
of the car. Immediately thereafter, it
is stated, Caldwell drew a pistol ard
fired twice at the two car men. On@
missile struck Conductor Linton IN
the head infiicting wound which re-
suited in death a short time later.
The second bullet lodged in the mo-
torman's neck, wounding him pain
fully. and it was at first believed
mortally. He later recovered, how
ever.
President INTERVIEWED.
Following the imposition of the
death sentence upon Caldwell by the
Calhoun county circuit court, Chica-
90 negroes appealed to President
Wilson and asked him to intercede
in behalf of the condemned man.
President Wilson wired Governor
Kilby Immediately, requesting that
the sentence of death be suspended
until the attorney general of the
United States could investigate the
case. In the meantime, however, Cald-
well took an appeal to supreme court
and the president was informed by
the governor that this action auto
matically held the sentence of death
in abeyance until decision was an
nounced by that body. This appeal
was denied in the opinion handed
down Monday.
Featured by Sensational Incidents.
Much satisfaction is being express
ed locally over the action OF the state
supreme court in sustaining the low
err court in the case of Caldwell.
The negro's case has been featured
with sensational incidents. Besides
President Wilson taking hand in 1T,
requesting Governor Kilby to have
sentence of the negro postponed UNI
til the attorney general could look up
the facts, black-hand letters threat
ening death if Caldwell is executed
have been received by Judge Hugh
D. Merrill, before whom the trial
was held, and scores Of letters have
been written to local officials, in
Guiding Mayor Wikle, in behalf OF the
negro.
