JUDGE DECLARES
SOFT DRINK BARS
NEED CLEAN UP
Issues Warning Against the
Frequenting of Blind
Tigers in the City.

Declaring that such places as the
one conducted by Clarence Elliott
on Polk ST. should be Cleaned up"
by the police, and attributfng much
OF the city court litigation 10 the
existence OF places like the Elliott
soft drink emporium" Judge Gil
mer, IN dispOsing or the cases of
three young men Tuesday afternoon
charged with assault and battery
and highway robbery. issued a
warning against the frequenting OF
blind tigers in South Bend.
Judge Gilmer's warming came dur
ing his review of the evidence in the
cases OF Fred Iavalle. Charles Eel
dan and Richard Harris. charged
with robbing William Ripple, of Cas-
sopolis. Mich. OF $50 after they were
alleged TO have assaulted him.
Lavelle and Feldan were found I'm
the Elliott place about midnight on
Jan. Il, the night that the alleged
robbery took place. and they admit
ted that they bought whisky there.
The judge dismissed the charges
of assault and battery and highway
robbery against Harris, there being
insufficient evidence 10 connect him
with either charge. The charge of
highway robbery was also dismissed
against Lavelle and Feldan. The
after was fined 500 and costs and
sentenced TO 80 days in Jail. the fine
and sentence being suspended and
Feldan placed on probation for six
months. Iavalle was fined 500 ana
costs and sentenced TO 20 DAYS i'm
Jail. The fine was suspended. but
he will have TO serve the 20 days
In the county jail.
The judge evidently believed the
story of Ripple that he and three
men had driven in a taxicab west
on Washington av. on the night the
alleged robbery took place. and that
Ripple had been attacked by the
three men. There was nothing to
connect Harris as being one Of the
trio. so the charges against him were
dismissed.
Ruple's reputation, according tc
the judge, was not of the best, and
the court doubted the complaining
/ witnesses testimony that he had re
NAMED in Elliott's place from
o'clock in the afternoon until mid
night without buying anything bu
soft drinks, especially when the ties
timony of the police was that he wa
intoxicated that night.
Both Feldan and Lavelle toll,
Judge Gilmer that they had pur
chased liquor at Elliott's place oil
the night Of Jan. II. and that the.
both were under the influence o
whisky
Deputy Pros. George a. School
agreed 10 the dismissal of tn
charges of highway robbery agains
the defendants, he and the court ar
guing that justice would be bes
conserved in doing this.
Judge Gilmer also warned Rupl
TO stay away from South Bend un
less he could keep sober. He scored
him for visiting the Elliott place
and declared that if he is eve
brought into the South Bend cit!
court on a charge of intoXication i
vill go hard with him.

OPELIKA

Opelika, September 2.-(SpeciaL) labor
Day here was not celebrated in any
special way. The day was observed by
the mail carriers and the postoffice Of
fcials, but all other business was car
ried on in the usual routine. The only
feature of any interest was the arrival
here about noon of 10 of the motorcyclists
entering the reliability race put on by
Montgomery newspaper via Union
Springs, Tuskegee, Opelika, Tallassee
and Gilmore back to Montgomery, dis
lance of 1872 miles. Twenty-three men
entered the race, it is said, but only 10
reached this city. Muddy roads encoun-
tered between Union Springs and Tuske-
gee is probably the cause of the other
entrants not completing the trip.
The Opelika Sewer company has noti-
fed its patrons that sewerage rates will
be increased so per cent, beginning Oc-

advances in labor and materials. and

on account of the failure of large num-
Der of property owners to connect with
the sewerage system. The sewer COM
pany states that it has endeavored by
all proper means to induce property own
ers to connect with the sewerage sys-
tenn with the result that only about one
half of the properties have been con-
nected.
The property owners, it is understood,
will refuse to comply with the demand
of tie sewer company on the grounds
that the contention of the company Is
| untrue. 1t is claimed that the cost of the
upkeep of the system is practically the
same as heretofore. Mayor Cliff states
that there is only about 10 per cent or
the properties unconnected. and that the
city is under no obligation to force prop
erty owners TO connect with the system.
The sewer company has a franchise
for 80 years, 20 years of which have ex-
pired, and it is stipulated in the char
ter, and so entered in the city code, that
the sewer companys contract calls for
a certain rate with no provisions for an
increase in rates, and the city will likely
fight the advance in rates.

crew of workmen arc installing
cables throughout the residential sections
of Greenville, and this with other inn
provements will make the system equal in
efficiency to any of those in the large
cities.
The Rev. Mr.. Pittman of Birmingham
opened a series of meetings here Sunday
night at the First Christian church. The
first service was union one, several
of the other churches calling in their
regular Sunday evening service. The
meeting opened with interest and it is
believed that great good will be accom-
plished through the meetings, which VIII
continue for 10 days.
Today is moving day in Greenville,
and according to transfer operators the
moving is unusually heavy this year. Ow-
ing to the scarcity of dwellings there is
great demand for new buildings in Green
vile.
