BENCHES IN PARKS
WERE TAKEN AWAY
AND NOW THE NUR8ES WITH
CHILDREN HAVE NO PLACE
TO 8IT IN THE PARKS.
Loud cotnplulnt I* made over the Ab
sence of benches In the various street
parks. It was first thought that thoy
were removed by the city force, but
this turns out to be wrong, ttupt. Cal
laway saying yesterday that they had
not been removed by him.
It Is possible that some of the boys
who have been making raids on the
back premises of the stores aad any
other placa they And a box for material
for their bonfires, have spirited tho
benches away.
These benches have been used for
tho most part by nurses with small
children whose parents want them to
enjoy the outdoor air and the sunshine
as much us possible. In all cities where
there are street parks the? children arc
given full perm'sslon. when In charge
of nurses, to use them dolly. They
do not hurt the grass, only tho constant
walking In one direct line making tho
paths.
Tattnall Hquaro -Is not Inviting In Its
present shape and condition, Centro!
City Park Is too far away for these
children, and they have only the little
perks throughout the city, and they
are now up In arms against the remov
al of the benches. If the boys have
taken them away, they should bo made
to return them, Is whnt tho parents
of the children say, and they say U out
loud.

record of success which Justifies perfect
confidence In the advance representation
that It Is an entertainment of the high

the climax of tho third act; the title role
Is that of tho “seventh daughter of the

VETERANS MUST MAKE
THEIR APPLICATIONS
IF THEY WANT TO SELL NEAR-
BEER, JUST AS ALL OTHER
PERSONS MUST DO.
The decision of the recorder was
handed down yesterday In the case of
L. F. Cranford, a veteran, charged
with violating the license ordinance by
not taking out a license as a dealer
in near-beer, and also for falling to
make out an application to run the
same a« required.
Mr. Cranford, being a veteran, and
holding a licence- from the ordinary,
and acting upon the decision of the
court of appeal* la the cage taken up
from Ocilla, which was In effect that
municipalities could not requite voter,
a ns to pay such license, opened up a
near-beer place on the corner of Mul
berry and Sixth streets. He was found
engaged in this business by L'censc
Inspector Herrington, and summoned
before the recorder. Through his at
torney, Mr. Jesse Harris, he claimed
this exemption. The city attorney, Mr,
Charles H. Hall, contended that he
violated that portion of the ordinance
requiring application to be.made be
fore opening up such a place., atul this
was a police regulation and applied to
veterans as well as to other people
engaging In the near-beer business.
The recorder reserved his decision un
til yesterday morning.
The recorder holds that Mr. Cran.-
ford or any other veteran, must apply
to tho mayor and council for a license
the same as others, and under the cir
cumstances of this particular case he
would dismiss It on the application be
ing made. The recorder evidently
agrees with the court of appeals as to
tho exemption from municipal license.

SARDINE SHORTAGE
IN TKE NEAR FUTURE
MAKE-BELIEVE AMERICAN DAIN
TY DEVELOPS SHORT CROP ON
THE MAINE COAST.
PORTLAND. Me.. Dec. 21.—That
delectable dainty the American sar
dine, which Isn't really a sardine at
all may become decidedly scarce In
the near future, owing to the short
age of the crop along the Maine coast
where nearly all the domestic sar
dines are packed. The “combine"
which Is alleged to be in practical con
trol of the business, and which was
recently the subject of nn official In
vestigation because of alleged trust-
like proclivities, produced this season
22 per cent less than was anticipated,
and the Independent packers also re
port a shortage.
This was said to bo due to differ
ences with the fishermen during the
early part of the season.
As a result of the fAlnng off in
prices offered by the trade, the pack
ers he"* been storing heavily and
every available storehouse was filled,
but even at that there probably will
be no more goods than the trade will
demand this winter und next spring
ns the mid-season buying was light
because of the general condition of
trade.
The Maine Mercantile Company ex
pected to pack 1,800,050 cases, but
Instead produced 1.404.000 cases. Tho
Independent factories packed 90,000
cases. There are 300,000 cases in
storage.
