Attorney General to Decide
on Date of the Hostili

ATLANTA IS VERY DRY;
IT MAY BE TWO WEEKS
BEFORE SALOONS OPEN
WILL MAKE FIGHT
FOR PROHIBITION
"A great mas* meeting of the cltlxens of Atlanta I* called for 10
o'clock tomorrow morning at the Wealoyan Memorial Tabernacle. Mat
ters of tha gravest Importance will be discussed at the meeting. Our
city's moral standard needs to he lifted higher.
"Let every loving, loyal, patriotic cltlsen be present at that meeting
tomorrow (Friday) morning at 10 o'clock. Place, Wesleyan Memorial
Tabernacle.”
The foregoing announcement la mad* by the officers of the Anti-
Saloon League of Georgia It Is the beginning of a new campaign
against saloons In Atlanta.
The Rev. J. C. Solomon, slate secretary of the League, In answer to a
question as tn whether a direct prohibition campaign would be Inaugurat
ed at the meeting, replied that It would not.
"A committee will be appointed, however," he said, "to go before
the mayor and council and ask that none of the saloon licenses repealed
Wednesday be reissued."
Council Revokes All municipal ownership
WJUllUi i\evtmcs nil INTEREST IS UNABATED
Licenses for Selling
Liquor.
Atlanta Is as dry aa the Sahara des
ert.
Not even an oasis In the way of same
kindly restaurant where, “after hours"
the parched throat waa wont to be wet
In the ahade of the sheltering palms,
may dlepense a spirituous beverage.
The only hope held out to the burning
eye of those accustomed to seek solace
In the cup la the mlrage-llke promise
of a renewal of licenses—and that Is
five days', travel.
At the adjournt d reeel on of the city
fathers Wednesday aftfrnoon every
liquor dealer'* license in the city waa
revoked by a unanimous vote. As ap
peered exclusively in the evenlrg edi
tion of The Georgian.
The vote on the report of the police
committee, which suggested that the
licenses be revoked, was taken after a
battle lasting two and a half hours.
Every seat In the council chamber
waa taken when the gavel rapped the
eeeslon to order and before the report
of the police committee came up not
even standing room wa* available.
Overflow Meeting.
An overflow meeting was hrld In the
office of the building Inspector adjoin
ing the council room, and there saloon
keepers and restaurant men awaited
with emllee and tears the decision of
the council. Smiles, first, because of
the strong speeches against the adop
tion of the report. Then tears as the
avalanche of public opinion swept the
city council and tii# report wa* carried
In a landslide manner.
What will be the outcome, I* a mat
ter of mere surmise. The enthusiastic
anti-saloon men declare that It Is the
first step toward again making Atlanta
a prohibition city. The saloon men are
confident of getting thelt licenses back
on October 2, when they will appenr at
an open meeting of the special Commit
tee appointed to linen to the argu
ments for and against the granting of
licenses.

Mr. Taft made the situation pretty

"The moderate* determined to force
American Intervention, leaving affaire
In our hands. President Palma chose
to regard our suggestions ae a demand
and he rejected them emphatically. To.
day we acquainted Alfredo Zayas, the
liberal,leader, with the situation and he
undertook to Induce his associates to
consent to the original proposition of
the moderates, namely, that the Insur
gents lay down their arms and submit
the entire controversy to the Ameri
can commission. But the rebel com
mander* and men In the field suspected
Insincerity upon the part of the gov
ernment and declined.
•The negro Insurgents especially In
sisted on retaining their arms until
peace was assured. Zayas' report Is
Indicative of future trouble with the
lawless element of the rebels. I feel
certain that a settlement of the trouble
Is possible only along the lines sug
gested by u»”

United States troops were landed It
would mean bualnees and no foolish
ness would be tolerated. Whatever the

"The situation," said Pino Guerra,
the rebel leader, "Is nearer to us than
hitherto, and my opinion Is that Cuba
will never have another revolution. The
ending of this one will prove to the
world that the Cubans can preserve
and defend the liberties guaranteed to
them by their constitution and the acts
of congress, and can preserve the peace
vouchsafed to them by the American
people. This revolution Is an evidence
of our sincerity with the Ameriacn
people, and the result should be con

opinion that the law will, work a hard
ship on the hotels where the European
plan Is In vogue,' whereas some of the
larger restaurants are backing the law.
