ROFKE PLEADS GUILTY
OF BIG EMBEZZLEMENT
He Slipped $1,150,000 From
Fidelity Trust Company,- of
Louisville, Ky.
Louisville, Ky., Nov. 29.—August
Ropke, who embezzled 11,150,000 from
the Fidelity Trust Company, withdrew
of Atlanta's blind tiger operators would j his plea of not guilty and pleaded
keep at the business. They would risk guH‘y when his case came up In the
their lives to sell liquor. The Atlanta; criminal court today. Tho common-
blind tiger Is certainly a brazen and 1 wealth s attorney^recommended^a^sen-
darlng animal."
This statement was made Tuesday
morning by Police Chief Henry Jen
nlngs in discussing the record-break
ing collection of blind tiger cases on
Tuesday's police docket—a total of
twenty. This number smashes Into
smithereens all previous blind tiger
records, being the greatest number
scheduled for trial In police court on
any one day since the prohibition law
went Into effect, January 1, 1908.
Recorder Broyles will subject these
blind animals to legal surgery at the
afternoon session of court, and. Judging
by the characteristic success of his
irevlous operations, there Is no doubt
_iut that ho will open their eyes. The
regular crop of drunks, disorderlies and
other minor offenders Is on the wait
ing list for treatment at the same time
and the present Indications are that the
session will continue far Into the night
Recorder Pro Tem Preston had his
hands full Tuesday morning listing the
K tlents and getting them ready for
ctor Broyles In the afternoon.
Getting Worse Now.
The blind tiger, diagnosed by the po.
lice as an animal that flourishes more
generously In cold weather and partic
ularly In the vicinity of Christmas
times, is now rampant In Atlanta and
the police are compelled to work their
special tiger dragnet overtime. Large
numbers of these beasts have been
bagger during the past few weeks, but
never In the history of the blind tiger
has such a number been corralled foi
one seance as that scheduled for Tues
day afternoon.
“Blind tigers are flourishing In At
lanta now like unto the proverbial
green bay tree,” said Chief Jennings,
"which Is demonstrated by the ex
traordinarily large number that has
been caught In the net by the police.
And It Is this activity on the part of
the police that causes Atlanta's blind
tiger record to show up so strong In
comparison with other cities. The law
Is being enforced In Atlanta, while in
other cities violations of the liquor law
are being winked at. If the police and
the courts were not enforcing the law
here, the situation, on Its face and to
outsiders, would Indicate that there
were few blind tigers In operation. And
then, I might add In the same breath,
that the situation here would be the
same as In other cities—liquor would
be sold openly In saloons and In the
streets—If the law was not being en-.
forced.
"The police and the courts are mak
ing It hot for blind tigers, but Just at
soon as one bites the dust It either
revives and comes back as strong as
ever or a bunch of new ones spring
up like a mushroom In the night to
take Its place."

Tells Officials Who Disburse
Millions To Cut Down
and Economize.
Washington, Nov. 29.—President Taft
wielded the big stick and pruning
knife today. He established a prece
dent by summoning to the white house
more than 100 ofllclals who disburse
millions of dollars annually for the gov.
emment and told them that they must
reduce their estimates for the coming

had already been reduced over 140,-
000.000, but that did not satisfy the pres
ident.
"Oo back and cut off some more,” was

after the best of business methods must
