Vote to Protest Against
the State
Bill.
CITY’S REVENUES
WOULD BE CUT
Discussion Follows
man Beutell’s Resolu
tions in Council.
By a vote of 13 to 6. council Monday
afternoon adopted resolutions by Al
dermen Beutell proteatlng against the
passage of a state prohibition bill and
memorallslng the general assembly to
vote against the measure.
The resolutions were as follows
"Whereas, There Is pending In the
general aasembly of Georgia a proposl
tlon to place this state under a'law
prohlbltlng the sale and manufacture of
liquors, beer and other Intoxicating
drinks, and,
"Whereas, Such a law would Injurs
this city very much nnd tend to' de
press Its growth and prevent the de
sired expansion In population, and,
"Whereas, Tho taxes from such sale
and manufacture are very large and are
necessary to meet the Increasing ex
penses and demands of our city, and
the loss of such revenue would serious
ly cripple the departments, In every re
spect, and demoralise the financial ap
portlonments,
"Therefore, be It resolved, by the
mayor and general council, That the
senator from this district, and the
representatives from this county are
Dt-I-v r,.,|m'Slcil to vote ngnlnst "old
legislation, nnd use their Influence to
defeat same.
"Be It further resolved. Thnt the clerk
of councll'fonvard a copy of these reso
lutions to said senator and representa-
tlves.
"6e It further resolved, Thst the gen
eral assembly be memorallxed to vote
against said legislation on ths further
ground that the preaent law, by which
tho sale of whlaky la regulated by local
option, la acceptable to the people of
the state, and haa been In force for
many years, giving general satisfaction
end meeting all the demands of the
temperance counties, and Is democratic
In that It gives the different counties
the privilege of local solf-government.'
How They Voted.
Those voting for the resolution were:
Alderman Holland, Hlrsch, Peters, Key,
Curtis and Beutell and Councilman
Huddleston, Pomeroy, Pearce, Styron,
Grant, Hancock and Roberta—It.
Against resolutions: Councilman Ter.
rell, Baskin, Martin, Mangum, Longlno
and Harman.
A caloric dlacusston was precipitated
when the resolutions were Introduced,
the merits and demerits of prohibition
being hurled back and forth.
A motion to -table was lost, as was
»l»o a motion to refer to a committee.
< ouncllman Martin thought It was a
matter for the legislature, and council
•hould not Inject Its views there. Coun
cilman Terrell said .prohibition would
make the city flourish as never before;
that the people would have more
money, and also the city; that the po
lice force could be cut down. He cited
*«"•»» as an example of how well pro.
hlbltlon worked In a material way.
Mr. Bautall’a Views.
Alderman Beutell spoke In defense of
hie resolution. He said he had no de-
e re to bring on a prohibition discus-
eion.
.'View this matter from a practical
standpoint," said the alderman, "and I
no reason why the expression of
this council on the Question should not
go to the legislature. It Is recognised
as a legal traffic, and why can wo not
i- .. 11 t° be sold here Instead of hav-
ing It shipped from outside states?"
.„_ ou ._ nc lman Longlno made a strong
speech, In which he declared prohlbl-
,. 2? ,. w *f * ur ® to come, and that ths
whisky dealers might as well pack their
ii- .?'!!*! and K*t ready to vacate.
He cited Charlotte, a city of 40,000 pop-
« an example of how well a
prohibition city thrived.
'ouncllman Martin said the sentl-

How can a man lose his false teeth
and then not miss 'em for two days?
That Is a question tho-clerks of .the
Piedmont are pondering over, nnd so
for they have not found a solution to
ths puizle.
All sorts of things and valuables have
been left In rooms at the Piedmont by
forgetful guests. Almost dally guests
report at the office that they left so-
and-so In their rooms and "please get
It.” But Monday the limit In the lost
line was reached.
A well dressed elderly man asked If
set of false teeth had been found In
nny of the rooms. ■ None of the clerks
thought nny phony Ivories had been
piped. The elderly man wasn't quite
sure about losing his chewing appara
tus In the Piedmont, but he knew he
had loat his teeth. He said he had
either left them In the Piedmont or In
Birmingham hotel.
'•When were you In Birmingham?^
asked a clerk. „ j ..
"Two days ago,” quietly replied the
elderly man as he fished about In his
pockets for the missing teeth.
But he didn’t remember If he had
used them since he left Birmingham.
A general alarm was sent out. among
the hotel employees for the missing
teeth, but up to a late hour they had
not been located. In the meantime an
urgent wire was sent to Birmingham
for the hotel folks there to get on the
trail of the Ivories.

in my magazine."
Were you ever a passenger on a trol
ley car that started one way and ar
rived somewhere else, and that In the
middle of the night?
That doesn't happen often, but It did
happen a night or two ago, and It alt
came about through a green motorman,
a new conductor and a street car that
didn’t know Its own route.
Car No. umpsteen started out Peach
tree Just before midnight. The motor-
man had Just been transferred from the
Copenhtll accommodation and the con
ductor was a recruit from ths Luckte
street Jerkwater. Neither knew the
north side beyond the Piedmont. And
the oar was bound to Ponce DeLeon.
Huddenly the motorman awung to his
brake, stopped ths car and looked
around him.
Gee! where am I at?" he Inquired of
the darkness. But tt)e darkness an
swered not.
"Say, ain't we passed that road where
e turn out?" the motorman asked the
conductor.
"You can search me." said ths man
behind the punch. "I ain't no street di
rectory."
"Let’s ask the passenger," was the
unanimous vote. The lone passenger
seemed surprised.
“I'm a stranger In town," he said,
and all I know Is that I want to get to
Ponce and the Boulevard, and do It
quick. I didn't think I had to play
guide for a personally conducted trolley
party."
About that time an Incoming car
passed on the other track and was
lulled.
•Turn your trolley and back up about
a couple of blocks," said the motorman.
"Turn to your right, stop when you get
to the end of the track. And your way
home and get a transfer back to Copen-
hill.' Clang! Clangl

Found—A Seat
He Didn't Keep
A new member of the supreme court
bench came pretty near being self-ln
ducted to" a seat on that high tribunal
one day recently;
The court was In session. A few In
tereated attorneys sat In the appointed
place. Reporter Stevens u
mersed In his work. Sheriff Vaughan
guarded the dignity of the court from
his place directly in front of the Jus
tices.
Justice Beck had slipped from his
seat on the extreme left for a few min
utea. An attorney was delivering
plea In most emphatic and declama
tory style. It was the usual quiet and
serene proceedings of the highest
tribunal In the state when dry civil
matters were being argued.
Then something happened.
A dapper, well-dressed, clean-cut
young fellow pushed through the
swinging door, and stood for a moment
looking about. Evidently It was some
thing new to him. His glance turned
toward the declaiming attorney, whose
back was to the visitor.
For a moment or so he stood quietly,
and then stalked toward the left end of
the bench, where he law Justice Beck's
comfortable rocker vacated. The Jus
tice turned Interested eyes on the vis
itor; Reporter Stevens watched him
with horror-etruck gaze.
But Sheriff Vanghan did not lose his
presence of mind. Just as the visitor
swung around to take Justice Beck's
seat, the sheriff seised him by the arm,
and escorted the dazed young man to
the door.
"Why, what'a tho matter?" he gasp
ed, as the swinging door shut behind
them.
"Young man, that Is the supreme
court of Georgia, and you were about
to violate all precedent by taking the
seat of a Justice, while the court was
In session." replied Sheriff Vaughan
sternly.
"Goodness!" said the young fellow,
his face chalky with fear, "I didn't
know. I heard that fellow making a
speech, and thought I'd go round In
front where I could hear him better."
And the court moved on In Its se
rene and dignified way.

Boise, Idaho, July 2.—The amazing
conspiracy of Pinkertons working for
ths mine owners to disrupt and destroy
the Western Federation of Miners was
exposed today, when the defense In the
Haywood trial resumed Its startling
series of disclosures.
Pinkerton operatives secured admis
sion to the local unions as members by
falsehood, bribery or any means within
their power, and then acted as spies,
reporting the secrets of the union to
Superintendent McPsrtland In the Den
ver office.
This conspiracy proved a boomerang,
however, when Clarence Dorrow offered
the Identical reports sent by these men
as evidence and had them Identified un
der oath by Morris Friedman, former
aecretary to McPartlond.
. Some of the Pinkerton operatives
who could not manage to get Into the
unions were mndo deputy sheriffs. One
of these wus J. N. Londoner, now as
sistant auperlntendent In the Denver
office. In his report ho wrote;
"I was made n deputy ns soon as 1
showed my face and was told to kill
any union man or" sympathizer who
spoke to me. There Is strong talk now
of taking tho union leaders out of the
bull pen mid hanging them.”
This was at Victor, Colo., nnd was
datod June S, 1904.
One of the most Interesting docu
ments read by Dafrow was an original
letter by McPartland to General Man
ager Banks, of the New York agency
of the Pinkertons. In this letter Mo-
Portland declared that Peabody hod
acted to please tho mine owners and
ths Citizens' Alliance, and that he wns
friendly with them and the militia, but
no one would venture to say that ho
had obeyed ths constitution. Ho said
Peabody and Governor Adams were
good friends of ths Pinkertons and the
mins owners.
At 9:30 o'clock Max Mallch, of Den
ver, accused by Orohard of proposing
to dynamite a "scab" boarding house
at Globevllle, Colo., was called to the
witness stand by Attorney Richardson,
In defense.
Mallch said hs was Introduced to Or
chard by A. W. Gratios, a Pinkerton
agent. Orchard spent much of his time
In Mallch's saloon.
One evening Orchard called him out
of doors and proposed that they blow
the Olobe Hotel off the earth and get
rid of the scSbi. Mallch says he told
Orchard hs would not stand for any
thing of that sort, and Orchard said he
was Joshing. Mallch denied any knowl
edge of Orchard'* allegation that they
stole giant powder from tbs Union Pa
tio powder house.
Mallch related that Orchard came to
him and offered to blow up the com
pany (tore, which was Mallch's princi
pal competitor. He also swore that Or.
chard and Adame, who lived near him,
were poverty-stricken at the time Or
chard claims he was able to get all
the money he wanted from Haywood.
Mallch told that Orchard threatened to
kill Steunenberg.
