RAID DISTILLERY
NEAR CITY LINE
A raid on a licensed distillery Just
outside the city limits of Atlanta and
an arrest which the revenue officials
believe wilt lead to further arrests,
waa mado Friday, and now John
Younts la out on a 3B00 bond, awaiting
the action of the Federal grand Jury.
The raid was made by Inspector
Surber’s force on the dlatttlery of J. B.
Hurst, on Beecher street, West End,
several nights ago, and resulted In
warrants being sworn out for Younts
and Andrew Rogers, employees of the
place. At the time of the raid Rogers
escaped through a window and was not
caught.
It waa charged by the revenue olfi-
cera that whisky waa removed and
concealed on which no tax waa paid,
and now they are at work to find out
whom this whisky was sold. It Is
as much of & crime to buy whisky of
this sort as It Is to make It, and that
What the officers now want to know.
Younts waa arraigned before Com-
mlealoner Colquitt Carter Friday after
noon, and, after waiving preliminary
examination, was held under 3300 bond,

Tho striking telegraph operator* were
greatly perturbed Saturday morning by
a rumor which they say Is untrue and
which they charge was started by the
Southern Railway at the Instigation of
the Western Union to the effect that all
telegraph operators would be ordered
back to work at B o’clock Saturday aft
ernoon by President Small.
•’It is without any kind of founda
tion." said Mrs. E. It. Smith, in a state
ment on behalf of the local union. "The
Western Union had the Southern Hall
way send out the rumor over Its wires,
reaunuthly from Washington, although
believe It originated in the Atluntu
office. The statement that the men
were to go bark to work at 3 o’clock
thla afternoon was sent over tho entire
South. It was merely an effort to stam
pede the men back to their keys.
"There are only two ways that such
an order could be received from Presi
dent Small. It would either be a mes
sage to President Bishop, of the local
union, which he nlone could read, or a
letter to the union bearing President
Small’s signature and the seal of the
union.
"The rumor spread rapidly over At
lanta. Many people not acquainted
with the situation believed It. We wish
to denounce It bitterly."
The strikers will hold a big meet
ing at their hall Saturday night, when
speeches will be made by Jerome Jones
and other labor lenders.
President Small was reached by wire
at Washington and while he declined to
give out a statement for publication, lo.
cal operators state that he denied em
phatically that any order had been Is
sued for the men to return to work.

BUCKET SHOP LAW
TO BE TESTED BY
BROKERAGE FIRM
Special to The Georgian.
Chattanooga. Tenn„ Oct. 6,—Much
surprise was expressed by nearly all
Interested In the case when attorneys
for Ed Turner, the man charged with
killing his wife on Lookout Mountain
laat April, the day after the couple
came here from Atlanta, announced
that they would claim hereditary In
sanity for their client. Up to the time
the case was called In criminal court
Turner had Insisted that he knew noth
ing about the killing of his wife, and It
was supposed that hl8 defense would
be a complete denial of the deed. Al
though they have not so far so an
nounced, It Is now presumed that Che
lawyers will practically admit that Tur
ner killed his wife, and will try to show
he was not responsible for that or any
thing he did. They claim they can
prove his mother was a person of weak
mind and that his grandmother died In
an Insane asylum.
The aged mother of the murdered
girl Jias come alt the way from Breath
itt county, Kentucky, to attend the
trial. She makes an Interesting figure
In the court room as she sits listening
Intently to the proceedings.
The murder was one of the most
brutal ever committed about Chatta-
nooga. The court room la filled at
every session.

ly attacked with a hemorrhage of the
lungs and came near bleeding to death
before assistance could be rendered
him.
Blood gushed from Daniel’s mouth In
great quantities, and within a few mo
ments he sank Into unconsciousness.
As quickly aa possible the Grady Hos
pital waa notified and the apparently
dying man hurried there in an ambu
lance.
After the physicians had worked
with him for some time, the flow of
blood was stopped and he was revived.
He was later declared out of danger.
