CLUBS HAVE NOT AGREED ON LOCKERS "The Capltal^Olly C'iub will provide lockers after January 1, and will com ply with the; strict letter of the proht b'tlon law. Thera haa been no meeting of the representatives of the different clubs In the city such as has been re ported.” This Is the statement of Albert How ell, Jr., president of the Capital City Club, A representative of The Georgian was unable to verify the report that there had been such a meeting, and that the Elks, the Standard Club, the Transportation Club, the Turn-Yereln, the Capital City' Club, the Atlanta Athletic Club and the Piedmont Driv ing Club had all agreed to provide lockers, anti not to handle whisky In any way, or derive any profit there from. The fact that representatives of sev eral clubs would give out no statement relative to the proposed meeting would lead to the conclusion that there bad been one, but It Is extremely doubtful that all agreed on the same locker plan.
