MONDAY IN POLICE COURT
SHOWS HOW PROHIBITION
CUTS DOWN LAWLESSNESS
The comparison between two Mon
day police courts, one with the saloons
open and the other under prohibition,
demonstrates what the closing of the
saloons means to Atlanta.
On the first Mondny In last year.
Recorder Broyles tried a total of 104
eaaes which, with the saloons open,
represented only a normal • Monday
court. One year later, after prohibi
tion has become effective, the Mon-
day court slumps to 18 cases, only two
of which are for drunkenness.
At the morning court, only twenty-
one cases were disposed of, two of
these being against Juveniles. This
enormous decreuse In the number of
cases brought on the remarkable spec
tacle of a Monday morning court being
adjourned at 9:35 o'clock. Instead of
11:30 and 12 o'clock.

Washington, Jan. (.—The Interstate
commerce commission's annual report
mqde public today, points out that the
Atlantic Coast Line Company of Con
necticut, a corporation with probably
less than $6,000,000 actually Invested,
absolutely controls miles of railroad,
capltallxsd at more than $600,000,000.
The company deniaa tha Jurisdiction of
Federal supervision of Its affairs, thua
practically attempting to nullify In Im
portant features tha railroad legislation
Of the country.
The Rock Island Company Is so or
ganised that less than $26,000,000 of
stock absolutely controls about 17,000
miles of railroad.
This corporation likewise denies
Federal Jurisdiction of Its affairs.
The commission wonts to know If
congress Intends to permit this sort of
thing and declares that tf permitted It
will break down the whole acheme of
Federal supervision and regulation.
The Atlantic Coast Line Company
has $10,500,000 nominal capital, but the
commission says probably not more
than $5,000,000 actual Investment. It
owns 68 per cent of (he stock of the
Atlantic Coast Line railroad. The At
lantic Coast Lino In tum owns 51 per
Cept of tha stock of tha Louisville and
Nashville- Tim Louisville and Nash-
rllle Jointly with the Southern Railway
owns 88 per cent of the stock of ths
Monon railroad (Chicago, Indianapolis
and Loulavllla), and leases. Jointly with
the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Com
pany, tha Georgia Railroad and Bank
ing Company.
The commission tells In similar detail
of the Rock Island system. The Rock
Island Company of New Jersey, formed
in 1802, has $48,000,000 preferred und
8Mt.fiu2.unii common stock and no dsbt.
This company owns every dollar of
the $145,000,000 stock of tha Rock Is
land Railroad Company of Iowa. Tha
Rock Island owns moat of the stock lot
the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific
Railway Company. The Rock Island
Railroad Company In turn owns (0 per
cent of the stock of the Frieco, and the
Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Rail
way Company owns 48 per cent of the
stock of the Alton. The Frisco owns
$2 1-2 per cent of the stock of the Chi
cago and Eastern Illinois; and this road
owns 80 per cent of the stock of the
Evansville and Terre Haute.
The Interstate commerce commission
wnnts congress to decide whether these
things are right. It la going to have a
legal test of the questions Involved;
but congress Is asked to legislate so as
tn assure that these holding, company
systems may make no claim to any
sort of Immunity from control by the
Federal power.
Following hts admission to member
ship Sunday morning In the First
Methodist church. Rev. Dr. J. W. Rob
erts. formerly president of Wesleyan
Female College, In Macon, and one of
the most prominent pastors In the
North Georgia conference, appeared
before the meeting Monday morning of
the Methodist pastors of tha city, and,
after a statement similar to the one
made publicly tn church Sunday morn
ing, waa welcomed with open arms.
Frank and full was Dr. Roberts'
statement He told of the doubts he
had formerly held, end which caused
him to withdraw from the. conference,
and tie told, too, how these doubts had
been dispelled In a most remarkable
manner on Sunday, December 21, after
four hours of prayer.
At the conclusion of hla statement,
numbers of the pastors present were
visibly affected, and. In returning to hts
seat Dr. Roberts waa compelled to paea
thru a crowd of ministers anxious to
tall him words of encouragement and
grasp hla hand In fellowship.
Dr. Roberta said he felt It hla duty
to again take up the cause of Christ,
and that ha would probably do the
work of a local preacher until God In
Hla wisdom directed him back Into
the conference. He said he waa willing
to begin hla work all over again In an
humble way. and show hla brethren he
could be believed In.
In making hla statement to the Melh.
od/st ministers, Dr. Roberts said,
among other things:
"'An Honest Doubt.”
‘‘My doubts began to take serious
shape when I was pastor of Trinity
church ten years ago, and then and for
years thereafter I prayed and wept
and struggled against them. And God
only knows how I suffered. As the
great English preacher, Frederick Rob
ertson said (and he himself suffered
from the same cause), ‘No one who
has not experienced It knows anything
of the wretchedness of an earnest, hon
est doubt* Religion to me was ev
erything, and when that was shaken
everything was shaken. My nervous
■ystem was shattered and years of In
somnia followed. Health was under
mined, reason was unhinged, hope waa
blasted and life waa wrecked.
And yet I never lost faith In God. 1
only lost faith In some dogmas that
seemed to me to reflect upon the divine
character, that In the last analysis,
seemed to represent God os an un
merciful, tyrant rather than as a lov
ing Heavenly Father. And I rams to
feel that I waa dishonoring Ood by be
lieving these dogmas. I found myself,
therefore, face to face with only two
alternatives: First, I could conceal my
doubts from men and continue to
preach, and thus live the life of a con
scious hypocrite In the sight of God;
or, second, 1 could retire from tbs min.,
REV. J. W. ROBERTS.
He was received Into the Metho
dist church again after leaving It
several years ago.
letry nnd wait for Ood to give me
light. I chose the latter course as the
more honorable; but I had hope that
some day. In some way that I knew
not of, God would let the light break
upon me again, for 1 knew He knew I
was honest and helpless In my doubts,
and thnt I waa ready at any moment
to die for His will If I could only know
His will.
Received the Light.
“After years of suffering and of wait
ing, God let the light Into my soul In
a most unexpected, most wonderful and
most blessed experience, which I had
on Sunday, December 22, 1907, while
alone with Him In my room. On that
day I struggled In prayer for four
hours of Intense mental suffering, aft
er which God gave me great peace,
while at the same time lie made my
present duty plain."
In welcoming Dr. Roberts. Presldlm
Elder J. T. Daves spoke feelingly o
Dr. Roberts' twenty years' service In
ie ministry and assured him tha
■eMiren welcomed him.
Other welcoming talks were made by
Rev. M. J. Oofer and Rev. H. C. Chris
tlan. Rev. R. L. Motley .waa present
to attend a meeting of the Evangelical
ministers, nnd he said that altho he
was a Baptist, he knew Dr. Roberts
nnd the fine work he had done, and
welcomed him with open arms.

Any club In the state of Georgia
which pays the "locker" tax of $300
and which allows no one but Its mem
bers to visit there Is not considered a
public place, and le protected from
prosecution for keeping Intoxicants nt
Its place of business under the prohi
bition law recently enacted by tho leg
islature.
This was the construction placed
upon the prohibition law by Judge Pen.
dletqn, of the superior court, in his
charge to the grand Jury for the Jan
uary term Monday morning.
Judge Pendleton further.charged the
jury that any club In the state, even
tho It paid the required tux, would be
considered a public place and would be
liable to prosecution under tho prohi
bition law If other parties than Its
members were allowed to visit It.
In giving the grand Jury his opinion
of how a club would be considered
public or private, Judgo Pendleton
drew a very fine distinction. He said:
"A club In a small town of 4oa or
608 people, with a membership of 25 or
10-people, would bo considered a pub
lic place, and It would be public for
a town •/ ffiat six*. In n city of
100,000 peuplo such a club would not
be considered public. But a club with
a membership of 1,000 or more. In a
large city, would be considered pub
lic."
In his charge Judge Pendleton said
In w»rt:
“The prohibition law recently enacted
by the legislature prohibits the sale or
manufacture for salo of any alcoholic,
spirituous or matt liquors, Intoxicating
bitters or other drinks which, If taken
tn excess, will produce Intoxication. It
also prohibits the giving away at any
place of business for the purpose of In
ducing trade or the keeping of such
liquors at a public place.
"The courts have held that barber
■hops, churches, schools and lawyer’s
offices are public places. The supreme
court haa held that where a person
Invited friends to an entertainment at
hla house, altho the guests were lim
ited to his friends, If many people as
sembled, It was a public place.
Another phase of the law Is that
clubs, corporations and associations of
persons keeping such liquors nt the
lace where Its membership Is ns«etil
led should pay a tax of ($00. I In
struct you, gentlemen, that such < lab.
corporation or association paying this
tax Is authorised to keep such liquors
irovlded such place la not frequented
iy other* than the members. Tho
state could not and would not bo pre
sumed to authorize the keeping of li
quors by clubs and then convict them
In the courts for violating tha law.
This license would protect tnssn, hsWi
went that the place
members only. So
that If a club that haa paid this li
cense should allow others than Its
members to frequent Its place, the
question would arise ha to whether or
not It la a public place.”
