PASSED AWAY SUNDAY
Chicago, Jan. 2.—The evidence
collected. by detectives of the
Chicago Law and Order League
against women card clubs will be
presented to Chief Shippy by Ar
thur B. Farwcll. The head of the
reform organisation spent yester
day afternoon carefully editing
and compiling the reports of hia
men. He stated that he would
give copies of the reports to both
Chief Shippy and Assistant Chief
Sehuettler.
"That these women were
gambling is apparent,’’ he said.
"They presumed that they were
within the letter of- tlie law and
were safe.
"Gambling is gambling, wheth
er men do it or women do it, and
I can do no more than give my
evidence to the chief of police.”
There were no raids yesterday.
Shrieveport, La., Jim. 2.—For
the first time since long before
Shreveport was recognized as a
city, there is not a licensed saloon
in shreveport, for as the clock
struck midnight Thursday night,
noting the change from the old to
the new year, prohibition became
effective here.
Because of the prohibition law
the city has lost in the neighbor
hood of $130,000 in revenue from
saloon licenses, each saloon hav
ing been charged $2,500, and the
present city council, the majori
ty being antis, have cut appro
priations in every department,
slashed salaries of city officials
and cut off one third of the po
lice force.
Norfolk, Va„ Jan, 2.—A volca
no at sea and a field of boiling
water off the coast of Georgia are
among the phenomena which the
officers of British ships have re
ported to the hydrographic office
here. While the steamer Baltic
was headed toward this
the first officer reported an erup
tion apparently 20 miles distant
to the westward resembling vol
canic action. The British Sctani-
sliip Lord Duffcrfn, Dee. 18, pass
ed an area of boiling water off
the Southern coast, acording to
the captaoin’a report.
Montgomery, Ala., Jan. 2.—
The ringing of bells, screaming
of whistles, bursting of firecrack
ers and shooting skyrockets
which in Alabama announced
that a new year was born, also
■narked the advent of state-wide
prohibition. With the passing of
the old year went the saloons in
the state where it bad not been
coast votci * out fa y l° ca * option.
As far as known the saloons
throughout the state closed their
doors at midnight Thursday, and
the new law will be strictly en
forced.
For the past few days the li
quor trade has been heavy at all
the open saloons, and most of the
dealers sold out their stocks.

Albany, Ga., Jan. 2.—Was the
horrible fate which overtook
Elizabeth Tarver, the nine-year-
old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W.
S. Tarver, who was fatally burn
ed Tuesday morning, revealed in
a dream to Miss Hattie Warren,
of Atlanta, ten days agof is n
question which is agitating the
minds of all who are familiar
with the facta in a startling coin
cidence in connection with this
child's tragic death.
About ten days ago Miss Hat-
tic Wnrren, who was visiting
Mrs. J. D. Weston, tn aunt of
the unfortunate little girl, an
nounced at the breakfast table
that she had had a horrible
dream about little Elisabeth Tar
ver. “Rut I nme not going to
tell it before breakfast because it
might come true.” After break
fast was over, however, she told
the members of the family that
she had dreamed most vividly
that Elizabeth Tarver was on fire
and had burned to death. So dis
tinctly were the details of this
unpleasant dream impreated up
on her memory that she shudder
ed with horror as she recited it to
the little girl’e relatives.
Nothing was thought of the
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 5.—A policy
of general advancement is the
key note of the inaugural mes
sage of Mayor Robert F. Maddox
sent to the new general council
Monday night. A realization on
the part of Atlantans of the city’s
high destiny is its expressed
hope.
That Atlanta’s chief need is
improvement in the sanitary de
pnrtmcnt is strongly brought out
by the new mayor, who urges
that instead of $500,000, $1,000,
000 of bonds be issued for tile
construction of sewers.
A broad and far seeing policy
of providing for the future of the
city is urged throughout the pa
per, recommendations being
mado for increased appropria
tions for tho police and fire de
partments moro money for the
school system, and a general de
velopment of the parks of the
city,involving extensive improve
ment of the parks now owned
and the purchase of land for the
establishment of new parks.
In regard to the prohibition
law Mayor Maddox says:
“It is gratifying to learn from
report of tho chief of police
that drunkeness and disorder
have so largely decreased in ohr
city during the year just ended,
and it is impossible to disconnect
this fact from the operation of
the state prohibition lav: which
went into effect twelve month:
ago. It is not my purpose to dis
cus the lnw, but I do believe
the enforcement of all laws. The
unpunished violation of any law
encourages renewed violation,
not only of the law broken, but
of nil law. As mayor of this city
f shall use the influence nnd pow
er of my office over on the side
of law ngninst lawlessness and in
favor of order, against disorder.
