Cases Against Crew

GREENVILLE, Ga, June T.
When the cases against Engineer
Frank Skinner and Conductor J.
e. Coleman, in charge Of the A. B..
G. A. train which killed Mr.. and
Mrs. Dan Martin and their baby,
near Manchester Sunday, was call
ed for preliminary hearing Wed,
nesday morning, announcement was
made that the prosecution was not
ready and the trial was postponed.
Both trainmen were released on
their own recogniZance and were
allowed to return to their duties.
A report was circulated that En-
gineer Skinner and Conductor Cole
man had left Manchester to avoid
being served with warrants for
their arrest. This report, however,
was proved entirely without foun-
dation. Railroad officials stated that
both men remained at Manchester
for two days awaiting orders for
appearance in court. This has been
confirmed by Sheriff O'Neal.
Late details of the accident show
that the train was backing from
Manchester to Warm Springs to
take on passengers for Atlanta.
When it was seen that the auto
mobile in which the Martin family
was riding would collide with the
train, Engineer Skinner says every
thing possible was done to stop the

day trip in south Georgia, expects
within the next few days to adjust
the amount Of attorneys fees to be
paid in connection with the $350,000
in oil inspection fees due the state
treasury as the result Of the recent
decision of the United States SUI
preme court, whiG upheld the consti-
tutionality of Georgia's Oil inspec-
ton act. About $35o,0O0 has been
held by P. H. Nell, custodian, since
the law was attacked more than a
year ago.
This fund will be turned into the
state treasury as soon as the legal
technicalities have been ironed out
All that is holding up the matter
now is the settlement of the attor'
neys'. fees. The firm Of Brewster,
Howell & Heyman was employed by
former Governor Hugh M. Dorsey to
assist former Attorney General Cliff
ford Walker in the case. The con
tract with the firm provides that @he
fee shall be fixed by the governor in
his discretion.
Governed Hardwick has asked At
torney General George M. Napier to
make a recommendation as to how
much should be allowed for the at

as this is received, the governor will
dispose of the matter.

The reason that Mr.. Brown will

Mrs. Brown is not because he bal

longs to a club, he reads trade
paper, he has a hobby, he gets
around with the fellows, yes he
even goes to conventions. He keeps
alive a separate life, be it ever so
humble, which tends to retard old
age and provides him with inter
ests beyond the monotony of his
job.

because she fails to see beyond her

GERMANY IS DENIED
LOAN BY BANKERS

PARIS, June Shy the Asso.
ciated Press.)-All idea of an inter,
national loan to Germany has been
given up by the committee of bank
ers and they are meeting today to
agree upon the form of their report
to this effect which will he submit
ted to the Preparations commission
The work of formulating the re-
port, it is stated, may take two or
three sittings.
The prevailing conviction among
the members of the bankers com
mittee is that two things are nee
essary to loan: F'irst-There must
be I'm; nimity among the lenders.
which were to include all the coun.
tries represented on the reparations
commission; secondhand the credit
basis of Germany must be outlined
Clearly.
The bankers look upon the repara-
ton commissions reply to their re,
cent note as an official declaration:
that unanilpity does not exist among
the prospective lenders, and there
fore feel that plans for loan can
not be advised.

1885 LIQUOR Stills
DESTROYED IN MAY

Declaring the public is begin.
ming to wake up to the fact that the
only way to control the liquor traf'
fic is by imposing fines and sen.
fences on convicted bootieggers that
will force them out of business"
Fred D. Dismuke, prohibition direc-
tor for Georgia, on Thursday made
public the report of his department
for the month of May, showing a
material increase in the amount of
property, liquor and stills destroyed
by prohibition agents in this state
over any month in the present year.
The report shows that 1876 stills
were DESTROYED, that $3.50 gallons
of whisky were confiscated, that six
automobiles alleged to have been
used for the transportation of liquor
were seized and that the department
prosecuted 1856 cases. The total
value of the property destroyed dur
ing May was estimated at $50,S72.35
These figures not only show q
marked increase over other months
this year, but also show trenlen-
dous gain over May of 1921, when
81 stills were destroyed, SIS gallons
of liquor poured out, eight automo-
biles confiscated and 135 prosecu-
lions handled. The total value OF
the property destroyed in May, 1921,
was only $14,192.50, less than one
third the amount destroyed in May,
1922, according to Mr.. Dismuke's
figures.
Commenting on the report Mr..
Dismuke stated that conditions have
improved very much in every Sec
ton of the state with respect to
prohibition enforcement. He stated
that whisky is much harder to buy
now than at any time since the ad-
vent of prohibition, and that the
bootleggers were more careful in
their dealings. He attributed this
state of affairs to the heavy fines
and Jail sentences that are being
imposed by judges.
He declared that prohibition agents
in Savannah have succeeded in ma
terially reducing the amount of
whisky brought in by boat and
carried out by rail, but stated that
more whisky is transported by rail
now than by any other method.
With respect to the recent speech
of Judge Arthur G. Powell, presi-
dent of the Georgia Bar association,
at Tybee, Ga, in which Judge Powell
strongly condemned the prohibition
law and the methods of enforcement,
Mr.. Dismuke said:
ST think Judge Powell's speech
has already been replied to in an
ample manner by various distin-
guished men. 1 will say however,
that the people generally, are sup
porting the prohibition law, that
they seem to believe it good thing,
and that if the time ever came to
vote again on the is-ae Fey would
keep, liquor out.
"With regard to our methods OF
enforcing the law I will say that the
seizure of automobiles in which
liquor is transported is strictly
within the law, and that the search
ing of private homes is done under
direct and implicit instructions from
the attorney general and federal
Judges in the state. No search is
ever made without search warrant
issued by the United States COM
missioner"

Gently under the direction Of Mrs.
