TRAIN CREW BLAMED
FOR LOSS OF LIFE
Soo Road Censured
For Hiring Inex
perienced Men.
Bnderlin, N. D., Dec. 25.—Blame for
the Soo wreck of Sunday, In which
11 persons were killed and 40 Injured,
was placed on the crew of the freight
train with which the passenger col
lided, by the coroner’s Jury yesterday.
This verdict was returned after
James Walsh, a flagman, had sworn
that he had gone half a mile ahead of
hi*, train, hail placed two torpedoes on
thi* track and had signalled with his
lantern. He declared no attention was
paid to him.
The jury severely censured the Soo
road for Its “negligence In placing in-
. vporlenced * men In positions wher*»
their failure to perform their work
properly had resulted In large loss of
life.”

SHERIFF AND OTHERS
ARE TO BE TRIED
“1
Washington, Dec. 25.—Sheriff Shlpi
and 20 other persons of Chattanooga,
Tenn.. charged with contempt of the
supreme court as a result of the lynch
ing of a negro named Johnson after the
. .nu t had taken cognisance of the case,
are to be tfled before tbe highest tribu
nal in the land.
The opinion In the case was handed
down by Juitlce Holmes.
“Court Had Jurisdiction.”
On the question of Jurisdiction, the
justice says:
“Even If the court had no reason to
entertain Johnson’s appeal, this court,
and this court alone, could decide that
such was the law. Until Judgment de
clining jurisdiction should be nnnounc-
cl, it had authority from the necessity
. f the case to take orders to preserve
the existing conditions and the sub-
ifc*. of the petition, Just as the said
. ourt van bound to refrain from fur
ther proceeding until the same time.”
As to the contention that the defend
ants had purged themselves of con
tempt by their sworn statement that
they had not been participants In the
lynching, the court says:
Hadn’t Purged Themselves.
“In this case It Is the question of
the presence and overt acts. If the
presence and the act should be proved
there would be Ifttle room for a disa
vowal of intent. And when the act al
leged consists In taking part In mur
der. It cannot be admitted that a gen
eral denial and aflidavit should dispose
of the case. The outward facts are
matters known to many and they will
be ascertained by testimony In the
usual way.”
Justice Holmes announced that the
lynching constitutes a contempt. No
announcement was made as to how
further proceedings of the court will be
conducted, but it Is probable a com
missioner will be appointed to take
testimony.
DOES PROHIBITION PROHIBIT?
SOME FIGURES BY WORKER FOR
MOVEMENT IN STATE OF GEORGIA
Ah to the status of the liquor ques
lion in Maine I got this from an address
delivered by Hon. Clinton X. Howard.
<>f Rochester, N. Y„ who has made some
investigations:
"For every joint under prohibition In
.Maine the re are 16 under license regime
in New York, and for every tax receipt
joint in Maine there are twenty under
license In Ohio. Not only are there
fewer Joints under prohibition, but they
are harder to find.
“Portland Is a city of 60,000 souls,
and you can walk the entire length of
its main street for two and onc-half
miles, down one side and up the other,
;-nd you will not see the sign of a sn-
1 ’on or anything that stands for the
.-alo< n over any door, nor the smell of
the rotten odor that comes from the
•low of perdition to decay the character
*»f Its patrons, and that shortest of all
Mutes for our American girls from
• aith to the pit beneath It that Is ad-
\ortisecl as the ‘ladies’ entrance* Is
conspicuously absent.
So it Is all along. You will oh- j
m rve the absence of poverty which Is
>« * n on the streets of all license cities."
Mr. Howard soys: “During the day I
" U over the cities where 1 lecture at
night, and nowhere In the country are
the people better housed than they are
in Maine, and In no other state do you

In California.
Long Beach. Cal., was a saloon town
a few years ago. All the saloon men
hnd their sympathizers suld It will kill
the town to close up the saloons. Hince
the saloons were voted out the city has
spent $36,000 for sidewalks and as
much more In extending its sewer sys
tem. put up 029 new buildings, spent
$106,000 In new school houses, built a
new double deck pier at a cost of
9100,000. The Pacific Electric Railway
Company has spent In new* lines and
buildings within the city limits I7B0,-
000. Pretty good for a city that a few
years ago was going to die without sa
loons.
Pasadena, another dry and dead city,
has spent during the past year or two
$1,000,000 In new Improvements.
Ocean Park has added 2,000 to its
population In two years, and Whittier
has added 1,000 to Its population and
spent for new buildings during the part
year $200,000. Monrovia, Hollywood.

3,325, savings deposits $3,667,545.
In Tennessee.
Jelllro, Tenn., banished her saloons
In 1003. When the saloons went out
the (population was 1,200. Now. after
two nin) one-half years of prohibition
the population is 3,000.

<1 30 per cent. Maine Is the only} t p e town was about $400,000. The vol-
In Hu* Union with more savings , m ,e of business for 1905 wns |i,.V)o,OOft.
When the snloon/f went out there were
la stores, now there are 42.
Then, there were 4 public school
teachers, 200 pupils; now there are 8
teachers and 605 pupils.
When the saloons existed the as
sessed valuation of property was $180,-
000; now, without saloons. It Is $550,000.
With saloons, taxes were $2.25 on the
$100: without the saloons, with twice
the teachers and three times the pupils,
the taxes $1.25 on the $100.
Then, there was $100,000 in banks,
now $300,000.

The Princeton Glee Club, that famous musical organization of Princeton University, will arrive in Atlanta Wednesday night. This appearance of the glee club in the 8outh is the first

cluded. The club will arive Wednesday afternoon and stop at tha Aragon. In tha evening they will banquet at tha hotel and special arrangements have been made by the management for the

sustnlninf?. We have done all this with
lower tax rate than a great many
saloon cltlex have done.”
Sixty-five out of seventy-five coun
ties In Mississippi have gone dry. As
result of prohibition In that state,
the assessed valuation of property has
Increased $33,000,000 in the Inst three
years. During this period banks have
increased from 92 to 131. and the sur
plus has more than quadrupled.
In Vermont.
Vermont testifies that high license
Is harder to maiutaln and enforce than
prohibition, and every way more costly.
Town after town which had given the
saloon a year's fair trial went back
with a rush to prohibition at first op
portunity. The people of Vermont say
license Is a conspicuous failure as a
temperance measure, and of the 246
cities in the state only 37 remain wet.
Latest returns from Kansas show that
prohibition Is far from being a failure
In that state.
The Kansas Issue says:
"Kansas city has recently closed all
the saloons In that place, and the re
port Is, from bankers, merchants and
real estate men, that business Is much
improved, and the testimony of the
wives and the mothers In the packing
house districts give a most nopeful
view of prohibition In that city. And
with regard to the prosperity of the
state under prohibition, there Is no
state, save possibly Texas and Okla
homa, which are both new, that has
and developed equal to
prospered
Kansas."
Liquor dealers of all classes use ev
ery means within their reach to violate
law In Kansas, and then try to fool
the outside world Into believing that
prohibition Is a failure, and that more
whisky Is sold and consumed In dry
places than wet ones.
Time ar.d space forbid extending
similar statements About the success of
prohibition measures. We can give
them to you all day If you want to lis
ten to them. It seems tb me that
practical business men of this enlight
ened age would not want to stop to
consider a moment touching which side
of this question to vote on. The
scheme of Hainan men and their sym
pathlzers to make the masses believe
that prohibition Is a failure, that more
liquor Is sold and consumed in dry ter
ritory than In wet, and that the coun
try cannot get along without the reve
nue, Is an Intrigue of the devil pure and
simple.
1 think next time I will give some
statements nbout the fullacy of the pre
vailing sentiment as to I’ncle Sant
Issuing licenses to sell whisky. Oh,
that the great masses of the people
would rend temperance literature, and
the Journals that are published by the
liquor associations themselves—how

differently they would vote on this
question.
If tve could get the leading papers of
Georgia to give us one page of their
valuable epnee for three succeeding
weeks, ho we could give the people a
clear conception of this liquor buslne.««,
mid u peep into the work and scheme*
planned at the great gatherings of the
State Liquor League., how they plan
to deliberately entrap and debauch our
hoys and Irg I, nalehtsndrdzetaoln
hoys and girl., and their damnable
schemes to control the conduct of Ieg-
iHlatorn, I believe It would open up the
heart, and consciences of our voting
population, so as to see their own atti
tude to thl. great question, and then,
the liquor gang would receive their
death blow In Georgia. Our Georgia
citizenship In the main Is honest and
true, but, oh, how much they need to
know the true status of this whole
situation;
If the Anil-Saloon League, with it*

question, could but reach sit the ptoplr
