THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. IATURDAY, DECEMBER 2L 5 PRINCESS LOUISE’S WARDROBE IS SOLD TO HIGHEST BIDDER Vienna. Dec. 21.—A great crush of people attended the auction sale of the wardrobe of Princess Louise of Bel- glum, which was brought about by a broker to whom she had pawned all ber possessions. A fair sum 'was real- Uei] on the entire collection, but the amount fell miserably short of the sum paid for it, which Is estimated at 1100,. 300. With the sale went all the posses. t i >ns of the princess at the time she was placed In a sanitarium nine years ag.i by her husband after she had doped With Count Mattaohlch. After spending si* years In captivity she made her escape, aided by Count Mat- laehlch, and she afterwards proved her eanity. Prince Philip then handed her the wardrobe she had abandoned and the princess promptly pawned It for 1)3.000. She could not pay the Interest, which precipitated the auction sale. In the collection were articles ranging PRINCESS LOUISE. from handkerchiefs worth 110 each to sealskin jackets worth over 11,000, CHRISTMAS PROGRAMS IN CHURCHES OF CITY TRINITY METHODIST CHURCH.

A BIG PRIZE MAY DROP INTO YOUR HAND The.police department will ask the finance committee, of the city council for $246,000. with which to conduct the department during the year 1908. This was decided on at the special meeting of the police commission Fri day afternoon, at which time the finances of the department for the next year were under discussion.

The main Improvement contemplated in the police force during the next year is the addition of* 32 new policemen.

SELLEHJF LIQUOR Judge Russell Hands Down Opinion of Impor- tance. ^ Interest in The Georgian’s grand prize contest has been redoubled by the ad ditional extra prizes of $75, $50 and $25 for work up to .January 4. These extra prizes have served to stimulate those in the race to renewed ac tivity, and the way the votes are rolling into the office is a revelation. The fact that 600 extra votes are allowed on each yearly paid in advance sub scription and 300 for six months’ subscription lias also aroused greater interest. Great crowds collect around the window of Eugene Haynes’jewelry store in Whitehall street to gaze upon the great pile <Tf shining $20 gold pieces, $1,000 in all. This gold represents the grand prize in The Georgian’s contest. HEALEY RENTS OLD B. & B.

Any Individual haa tlje rifirht to ar rest a person violating tho prohibition law, without the necessity of securing a warrant. This Is In substance the opinion of the court of appeals In a decision writ ten by Judge Russell in tho case, of Leon Smith vs. the State. The con viction of Smith In the city court of Waycross for Illegally selling whisky la affirmed by the higher court. In view of the fact that prohibition goes into effect In less than two week*. Judge Russell’s opinion Is of much Importance Just now*. He says: Any One Can -Arrest. "If a private person secs a. violation of the law against tho selling of Intoxi cating liquor*, he has the right to ar rest the Heller who committed tho of- Guihc In his presence, and he has the right to seize tho Intoxicants being sold and produce them as evidence. "Granting that the sheriff had seized the whisky Illegally, Its production In evidence would not be compelling the defendant to give evidence tending to Incriminate himself, even though tbe seizure of the whisky might have been Illegal. It Is only when by an unlaw ful search and seizure under an illegal arrest and tho person 1s compelled to furnish Incriminating evidence ugainst himself that such evidence Is not ad- inlHsIble. No decision of our courts i prohibits tho admission of evidence In ' pursuance of a legal arrest." $70,000 Fire in Jacksonville.
