Recorder Pro Tem. Refuses
to Hold Negro Without
Some Evidence.
. r
The dull routine of police court Fri
day morning was enlivened by a little
*pat between Recorder Pro Tem Pres
ton and Policeman Swords.
The officer had arrested a negro.
Henry Dixon, with several pairs of
shoes in a tow sack and which he sup
posed had been stolen. When the ne
gro was arraigned the officer had no
wltnes.es nnd the judge Informed him
the negro could not be convicted with
out evidence.
"Well, your honor. In addition to the
•hoes, this man is a self-confessed va
grant," exclaimed the officer,
Dixon Insisted he had not stolen the
shoes, declared he Is a shoemaker and
that he was carrying the shoes to the
owners.
"This man dentes the charges, and,
even tho he Is a negro, we must give
Him a showing," commented Judge
Preston.
The officer .Insisted that the negro
as a self-confessed vagrant, but the
recorder pro tem. held that he would
not pass on the case without evidence.
He then continued the case until Sat
urday morning, and Informed Officer
Swords the negro would be turned
loose at this time unless some evidence
*as forthcoming.

fl THRILLING PICTURE
AT THE POSEY TODAY
"The Sealed Room,” One of the Most Dramatic Pro
ductions of the Year, Is Being
Shown.
Those vl.ltlnk the Posey today will
bkvo an opportunity of viewing one of
'be most thrilling and dramatic motion
Picture*- w . hlch has been seen In Atlanta
P ">"ny months. M Is ‘The Sealed
rr 0 '”.’’ a great bfograph production,
story goes that a king, learning
that his favorite loved a strolling musi
cian, contrived to lure them Into a se
cluded portion of the castle, and thera
walled them In alive. It Is a wonderful
picture superbly acted and well worth
seeing. This picture Is shown In addi
tion to the regular program of motion
pictures and songs.
Under Instructions from the prison
commission, the four Inspectors now-
employed as supervisors of the county
road system In the state are collecting
nnd collating Information on root:
building since April 1, when the new
law went Into effect.
These four men, assigned to definite
districts In the state, will secure data
as to' the number of miles 'of new road
built In each county, the kind and
character of pike, the kind of material
used, and, In fact, everything bearing
on the subject that will be of definite
value.
There are now 140 convict camps In
the statb In 107 counties. Thirty-nine
counties, and the majority of those In
the northern half of tit* state, are not
using convicts on the roads now, but
let their quotas go to other counties
for a rental sum. It is said several of
these counties, Inspired by the wide
spread good roads movement, will
shortly make application for their al
lotments.
This means that practically the entire
state will be at work building flrst-
class, durable roads. Such ‘ concerted
action Is certain to result In tremen
dous benefit to the state, It Is believed
by members of the prison commission
and by all others. Some of the coun
ties have four, some three and some
two convict camps, and these counties,
of course, are making very rapid
progress In road building.
After the Information upon which
the Inspectors are now at work Is In
the hands of the commission, It Is ex
pected that many valuable suggestions
can be secured, which will be of ma
terial benefit In the general work. It
Is the policy of the commission to al
low each county, as nearly as possible,
to work out Its own particular prob
lems as they arise. It Is recognized
that conditions of soil, configuration of
the country nnd road building material
vnrles very materially In different parts
of the state, and these things must be
taken Into consideration.
It is said that very little trouble
arises In the various convict camps
scattered over the state, and that the
general health of the men Is excellent.
The prison commission has prepared a
map which shows exactly where each
camp Is located, and this map hangs
on the wall of the audience chamber.
Station Agent Resigns.

Washington, Sept. 3.—Lieutenant

reached a high altitude over Washing
ton and was rapidly drifting northward.
He planned to descend lute this after
noon.

Following an enthusiastic meeting of
citizens at the home of Dr. W. H.

evening, a committee, headed by D. W.
Yarbrough, appeared before the sani
tary committee Friday morning to urge
that whatever Improvements are rnndo
In the Butler-st sewer be made with a
view to permanent rather than tem
porary relief.
Mr. Yarbrough told tlM commltteo
that the breaks 1 In the sewer at and
above tho Jnckson-st. bridge have been
repaired and that With proper flushing
It can be kept In condition until tho

The sanitary committee took tho

The same committee headed by Mr.
Yarbrough will appear before the board

Baltimore, Sept, 3,—Charged with

International courtesy that obliges a
ship saluting to remain In the vicinity
while the other craft le given an op
portunity to make the return salute.
•T am Indignant that .uch a matter
has been given publication, and I am
surprised ns well. Early Sunday morn
ing, thq first of the American ships
were sighted directly ahead and, with
out changing our course, we steamed
toward.the'nU'"■
"As we reached the first ehlp In the
line, we gave the customary salute, but
at the earns- time we did not know
whether the fleet was at practice. Later
when we found that they were It was
too late for ue to change our course.
and we kept on. passing ship after
ship. In tha meantime our salute had
not been answered, and we slowed
down, passing between the ships and
the targets for the simple reason that
It was too late to , swerve and go
around.
"Under reduced speed, 'we passed
ship after ship, but not a gun was
heard. When we found ourselves nit
the flagship of Admiral Schroeder, the
last ship of the line, we were placed
In the predicament of either running
away or waiting for the salute. Cour
tesy demands the latter courae, and
we hove to, waiting.
"After a time the salute was fired.
This was at once accepted, not only a
return of the courtesy, but all that was
expected or wanted, and we continued
on our way to the capes, giving the
matter no further thought. While we
Were' passing by the flsbi practically
every man of my vessel wee on deck,

spying upon them to ascertain any of
their secrets, why, that Is ridiculous.
