With certain of the director* and ofll
ca!- of the Citizens Bank and Trust
Company, were busy throughout the
t/erninjr making a thorough inspec
tion of the books of the bank and in
vestigating the cause of the big

has been ascertained. There were no
n, w developments of any kind.
Exactly how long the investigation
will continue is not known. The mat
ter is being pushed as rapidly as is
consistent with accuracy and the di
rectors are hoping that a definite an
nouncement can be made in the next
few days.
The movement for the reorganiza

wi'h general approval throughout the
city. Certain of the directors and big
stockholders are heartily in favor of
the idea and it is understood will push
finish. Any further
natter to
developments will be eagerly awaited.

The case of Screw Brown and Grant
Johnson charged with kqeeping liquor
on hand for saie, came to trial again
this (horning. The evidence brought
out yesterday was again gone over,
and much additional testimony was
brought to light. Marvin Landrum,
white witness was this morning
called to the stand.
Th ecvidencc as brought out was
very conflicting, but all witnesses
agreed in a few salient points, mainly
that Screw Brown was at the home
of Mark Guilliam and Mamie Shaw on
the night of Monday, 27th, and that he
sold at that time some whiskey to
Marvin Landrum. They further agre^ti
that Grant Johnson did not sell any
liquor. However, as to the amount of
whiskey ,thc price paid, the time that
it was sold, and i nmany other minor
facts, no two witnesses agreed.
Fsom facts made prominent by the
efforts of the various witnesses to
conceal them, it was seen that the
house is truly one of the worst in the
city. It is located in Red Aliev ,the
police being attracted there by the
noise of the place. Many empty whis
key bottles were found laying around,
and about a dozen empty cocaine bot
tles were found. The use of tiiis drug
was also allotted to Brown.
The witnesses all seemed to be pre
judiced against Brown. He appeared
to be th«seppe Tjoitt, Johnson being
a member of the family. No witness
attempted to account for the presence
of the white man and some of the wo
men in the house.
Brown testified that he was the
agent of Johnson, and that he received
nothing for the transaction. When ar
rested he had not left the Gilliam
house, but had only twenty cents on
hiq person. He also informed the ar
resting officer that he bought the
whiskey of Julitisuii, am! toi whim that
there was a quantity of whiskey at the
home of Johnson’s father. Tho whis
key was found at the place indicated.
Old man Johnson told the court that
he had sold no whiskey to either of the
defendants, and that no one knew
where his whiskey was kept.
Grant Johnson in answer to the ac
cusation made by Brown stated that
he left the Gilliam house about 8
o’clock and then went home and went
to bed, and did not sell him any whis
key.
The evidence seemed to point to the
guilt of Brown, even though the de
fending lawyer tried to impeach much
of the evidence brought out by the
city. He was found guilty by Judge
Price anad fined $100 or three months
in the stockade. The defending attor
ney made an appeal from the decis
ion.
The court alsoN**lieved Johnson to
be guilty, but the evidence did not per
mit such a verdict, and the case was
dismissed.
The witnesses in the case were
warned against giving any more dis
turbance in that neighborhood, and
the police were ordered to arrest any
of tne witnesses in the present case
not living in the house, if they were
seen back there again.

RAILROAD ENTITLED
TO FAIR TREATMENT
BY POSTAL DEPARTMENT
(Special to The Herald.)
Atlanta, Ga., April 29.—The rapid
growth of the parcel's post business
has provided the railroads another
cause for compliant against the postal
department, according to leading traf
fic officials in thlp territory. '
Already weighted down with inade
quate rates received from the govern
ment for carrying the mails, and losing
money, they declary, on every mail car
they carry, the roads now are groan
ing under the additional burden of an
increase in the weight of parcel post
packages from 11 to 50 pounds,
night. A downpour of ram stopped while payments for carrying this
an attack of miners upon the Walscn weight have not been increased at all.
The railroads, like any other corpo
rations, cannot .spend more than they
earn, and realizing that their income
and outgo are getting dangerously
near, business management requires
that they hew close to the line. An
other appear is being made at this
time to the government, for a read
justment of the postal rates, so that
the companies will not bo required to
transport mails at an actual loss.
Officials in Atlanta say that it is ab
solutely essential to get some relief
from a situation which is steadily
growing worse.

The first manifestations on tho part
of the city government to enforce t.he
new law prohibiting minors from the
pool rooms of the city were made this
morning when an officer was placed
at each hall to see that only those of
age entered. The law was passed the
latter part, of March, hut this is the
first time that it has been enforced.
The state law allowa minors to
shoot pool with their guardians* per
mission. However, the city ordinance
stated that no minor whatever may
enter the pool rooms.
HUERTA AGREES TO ALLOW
ALL REFUGEES TO LEAVE
Vera Cruz, April 29.—Anxiety here as to friends and relatives
in the interior of Mexico has been greatly relieved in the last few
hours. Reports from Mexico City indicate that all Americana who
desire to leave may do so. Three refugee trains from there are un
derstood to be on the way to Puerto, Mexico. Read Admiral -Bad
ger will have a ship there to meet them.
Spanish business men, much pleased at the careful treatment
of natives by the American forces, have started an effort to induce
President Huerta lo make known in the capital the real conditions
here. Stories of dittrages against Mexicans, published in the capi
tal, have enraged the Spanish colony. Another false report pub
lished in Mexico City was that a Spanish cruiser here had been
sunk by American ships.
Commander Tweedie, of the British cruiser Essex, returned
last night from Mexico City, where he went to convince Huerta
to allow all Americans to leave. He said he pursuaded the dictator
to do this, but no guards will be provided for the refugee trains.

this morning on their first hike, but
instead of going to Whitehall, as
originally planned they marched out
to Mitchell’s bridge. The morning
was spent in doing field maneuvers,
and a sham battle was also played.

the river and will return to Athens
some time during the afternoon.
A rear and advance guard was
kept throughout the morning and
much actual field experience was ob
tained. The hike is a new plan at the
university and takes the plaqe of the
old annual encampment.

At both afternoon and evening ses-
ehm the Harmony Concert company
rendered a splendiij musical program.
The company consists of three gentle
men, one lady and a little girl four
and a half years of age. The mem
bers of the company played upon va
rious musical instruments with neat
skill and their work was enthusiasti
cally received.
“That Printer of Udell’*,” a mono
logue from the delightful story of
that name, was splendidly given *y
Mr. Everett Kemp. To say that his
haarers were charmed is expressing it
milydly.
Dr. Edward Amherst Ott, field edi
tor of The American City Magazine,
delivered one of the finest and moat
helpful lectures ever heard in Athena.
His subject waa “Sour Grapes," and
had mostly to do with the question of
heredity. The speaker told of the Im
portance of being well born, how good
blood makes for the best character;
and also handled the question of eu-
genica, divorce and suffragt. The lo
cal suffragists should feel very grate
ful to Dr. Ott for the fine endorgs-
menl he gave to the movement His
lecture waa listened te with rapt at
tention and he wma enthusiastically
applauded.
Rev. George R. Wallace, the mom.
ing hour,lecturer, today gave a moat
instructive and entertaining lectura
on "Literature.” Dr. Wallace ia of
Scotch-Iriah descent and received a*
an enviable inheritance the character
istic! of both races; from the first
marked intellectual power and from
the second the eloquence, brilliant
repartee and sparkling with inherent
in sons ef the Emeral Isle. He waa
ordaiaed a Congregational minister
and waa soon called to Chicago to b*
associate paster with the noted pulpit
orator, Dr. Frank W. Gunsaulus. Dur
ing hia residence in America Dr. Wal
lace has had charge of three of the
largest Congregational churches in
the United States.
Dr. Wallace spoke of literature as
"tha University of Literature,” with
four departmants. Facts, Life, History
and Arts. Dr. Wallace quoted Mat
thew Arnold’s definition of literature
and spoke of Arnold's life and char
acter. He spoke of incident in the
life of Socrates, of Calvin, of La tha r,
and of many other great historical
characters. «
Matthew Arnold’s definition of lit
erature ia as follows:
‘Literature ia the best that haa ever
been said or thought in the history of
tho worM.”
Dr. Wallace spoke in a forcefbt
and eloquent manner en this gnat
subject and will always be pleasantly
remembered in Athena.
