PRINCESS LOUISE’S WARDROBE
IS SOLD TO HIGHEST BIDDER
Vienna, Dec. 21.—A great crueh of
people attended the auction sale of the
wardrobe of Princess Louise of Bel
gium, which was brought about by a
broker to whom she had pawned a|l
her possessions. A fair sum was real
ised on the entire collection, but the
amount fell miserably short of the stfm
paid for It, which Is estimated at >100,-
000.
With the sale went all the posses
sions of the princess at the time she
was placed In a sanitarium nine years
ego by her husband after she had
eloped with Count Mattachlch. After
spending six years In captivity she
made her escape, aided by Count Mat
tachlch, and she afterwards proved her
sanity. ' ,
Prince Philip then banded her
the wardrobe she had abandoned and
the princess promptly pawned It for
>12.000. She could not pay the Interest,
which precipitated the auction sale. In
the collection were articles ranging
PRINCESS LOUISE.
from handkerchiefs worth >10 each to
sealskin Jackets worth over >1,000.

The main Improvement contemplated
In the police force during the noxt year

ly decreased by prohibition, still the
commissioners and Chief Jennings
deem an Increased police force neces
sary, owing to the rapidly growing pop
ulation of the city.
The commission asked for $275,000
for the department for the present year,
but the finance committee only appro
prlated $220,000.

A conscience fund has Just been

sists of 25 cents, the amount sent In by
the first conscience-stricken patron of
the road who has made himself known.
Now that the precedent has been es
tablished, It Is believed others wilt fol

President Arkwright Is Just In re
ceipt of a letter' from this potron in
closing a quarter and saying this rep
resents five fares which he owes the
company.
"J didn’t get on-the cars,” the letter
said, "with the Intention of beating the
company. The conductor missed me,
and I wasn’t strong enough to give the
money to him. It has worried me con
siderably, and as I am trying to get
right with God, I felt compelled to send
you this money."
President Arkwright had the money
deposited as the beginning of a con
science fund, and wrote the patron a
cordial letter of thanks and compli
mented him highly on his action.

A BIG PRIZE MAY DROP INTO YOUR HAND
Interest in The Georgian’s grand prize contest has been redoubled by the ad
ditional extra prizes of $75, $30 and $25 for work iiw to January 4.
These extra prizes have served to stimulate those in the race to renewed ac
tivity, and the wav the votes are rolling into the office is a revelation;
The fact that 600 extra votes arc allowed on each yearly paid in advance sub
scription and 300 for six months’ subscription has also aroused greater interest.
Great crowds collect around the window of Eugene Haynes’ jewelry store in
Whitehall street to gaze upon the great pile of shining $20 gold pieces, $1,000 in all.
This gold represents the grand prize in The Georgian’s contest.

SELLER f LIQUOR
Judge Russell Hands Down
Opinion of Impor
tance. «
■ Any Individual has the rlgt\t to ar
rest a person violating the prohibition
law, without the necessity of securing
a warrant.
This Is In substance tho opinion of
the court of appeals In a decision wrl
ten by Judge Russell In the case
Leon Smith vs. tho State. The
victlon of Smith In tho city court
Waycroi* for Illegally selling whisky
Is affirmed by tho higher court. ,
In view of the fact that prohibit!"
goes Into effect In le*s than two weeks.
Judge Russell's opinion Is of inneh
Importance Just now. He says:
Any One Can Arrest.
"If a private person seep a violation
of tho law agnlnst tho selling of Intoxi
cating liquors, he has the right to ar
rest the seller who committed the of
fense In Ids presence, and he has the
right to solzt* tho Intoxicants being sold
and produce them as evidence.
"Granting that tho sheriff haul seized
the whisky Illegally, Its pro tuctlon In
evidence would not bo compelling the
defendant to give evidence .tending to
Incriminate himself, even though the
seizure of the whisky might have been
Illegal. It Is only when by an unlaw
ful search and seizure under an Illegal
arrest nnd the person Is compelled to
furnish Incriminating evidence against
himself that such evidence Is not ad
missible. No decision of our court* i
prohibits the admission of evidence In
pursuance of a legal arrest."
