So far no legal steps have been ta ken by the brewery Interests of Geor gia to hold up the operation of the prohibition law by the Injunction pro cess, but considerable Interest la being centered In the headquarters of the United States court In the Federal building. Judge Don A. Pardee, before whom auch proceedings In the Federal court would probably be brought. Is still In the city, but ns yet he has not been called upon to consider the case. But one more day Is left In which action In the matter might be taken, for after Tuesday liquor will be out lawed In Georgia. In this connection it is Interesting to note what Governor Hoke Smith hus to say on file question. That Governor Smith believes the law beyond attack In the courts Is shown by the following statement given out by him Saturday night: "There Is nothing in the effort to at tack the prohibition law on account of the provision of the constitution ap propriating special liquor taxes to school purposes. The constitution ‘au thorizes,’ but docs not require a special liquor tax. "The properties which quit the liquor business are not lost. The breweries are prepared to manufacture Ice and soft drinks. With these they can pay a fair profit on their Investments. "There ts plenty of work In Georgia for those who go out of the liquor busi ness, and plenty of work for all of the time of those who have wasted half their time thru the use of liquor. "If a club Is held by the courts to be a public place, the club locker Is Illegal and wtlj be stopped. "The constitution of the state limits the tax'rate to 5 mills. The state school fund.waa increased,2250,(190.£qr next year, and there Is nd trouble about the revenue of the state being ample without the liquor tax to meet all ap propriations. "Over one hundred counties In the state have had prohibition for years. They have outgrown counties situated similarly which permitted the sale. There Is no doubt that prohibition Is wise from an economic standpoint. The overwhelming sentiment of the white people of Georgia ts for prohibition and the law will be enforced.. "1 do not expect the temperance movement to produce, as a rule, laws ■o stringent as the Georgia laws, but I do hope to see the American standing bar prohibited nearly every where. The are of whisky and similar drinks might then be confined to medicinal purposes, and the light drinks, such as wines and beer, be used only at the table as food.” O000000OO0COO 50000000QOOOQ o a a CHILD WIFE KILLS O HEB8ELF IN LONELY HOME.

Whether or not the allegations are made thnt State Warden Jake C. Moore received compensation from lessees for special services Is not known by the commission, nor did any member know aught of the statement that charges had been filed with the legislative In vestigating committee. Warden Moore could not be seen. His connection with the department ends officially Wcdnes. day. It Is said that Warden Moore has saved the state thousands of dollars by.securing the consolidation of small camps with large ones. . Some years ago there were many small camps of twenty-five or more convicts, where a warden and physician had to be main- talned. By opening negotiations. Warden Moore would secure consolidations with other camps, thus reducing the state's expenses. If ho received compensation from any one for tills service the fact Is not known to the commission. It Is said that competent camp war dens are very difficult to secure, owing to the small salaries paid, Most of them receive $50 per month, and one or ‘ i-o as much as 2100. From some quarter It Is understood that these wardens receive extra pay from the lessees, but tho practice, If true. Is against the regulations of the commission. A!any of these wardens are trained In some line of work—milling, turpentine, brick-making, etc. They render valuable service to the lessees In getting the best results. As stuted, these wardens may be paid extra compensation by the lessees. The commission Is Investigating this question now with a view of present ing It to the legislature next summer.

CHAMBER’S ANNUAL MEETING TUESDAY and tunny friedfk wUI itnemb ■ New York, Dec. 30.—The caee of tho defense' of Harry Kendall Thaw, which will be presented to the Jury at his sec. ond trial for the murder of Stanford White next Monday, was completed to day by his chief counsel, Martin W. Littleton, and the latter's associates. The defense at the second trial will be radically different from that of the first trial. In thnt It will wholly bar nny reference whatever to the unwritten law. The defense will make Its appeal to the Jury altogether on the allegation that Harry Thnw was Insane when he shot and killed Stanford White. A new witness, vital to the case for Insanity, has been found by the law yers for the defense, Rnd his testimony will be one of the strongest points In the cumulative evidence ' tending to show that Thaw was out of hts mind on the night of the tragedy. This witness Is John J. Donnelly, of Wllkesbnrre, Pa.. Investigation showed that ho had a closer observation of Thaw Just before the shooting than any one else on the roof of tho theater. For the first time It will be disclosed by this witness exactly what was Thaw's facial expression, whot his ac tions at- he strode onward to send White to his death.

VIGOROUS REPLY TO HOSPITAL REPORT Dr. L. G.

According to the books of the secre tary they show that during 1907 the Tabernacle Infirmary had nn overage of thirty patients per day during th* year, besides district work where pa tients are treated at their homes. A large percentage of the cases are pure- ly charitable. The expenses for the year were $21,- 656.79, and received -froth patients’ and nurses' fees $15,992.46, leaving a bal ance of 25,659.33 to be provided for. In salaries for officers, nurses, servant* and laundresses the Institution paid last year 35,269.59. Dr. Broughton says further that the committee made absolutely no Investi gation of the books or affairs of the Infirmary, and that tt has done a great wrong to u worthy Institution. A. F.
