Rev. G. N. Buford Nearly
Knocked Down by Ruff at
. Recorder’s Court Session.
Jil Wev. G. N. Buford, one of the as-
■ jsistant pastors of the Central Presby-
IfSterian church, was struck in the breast
jlf and almost knocked from the witness
« platform in police court today by B. M.
■I Ruff, a hotel proprietor, just after the
IB minister had testified against Ruff.
■ K Recorder Broyles fined Ruff $10.75
'■.for contempt of court, and increased
Jr this to $25.75 when Ruff, as he start
y ed to .leave the stand, remarked:
F "I’ll knock his d—n brains out.”
The recorder had just decided that
Ruff’s boarding house, the Cadillac, at
85 East Hunter street, is a disorderly
house, and had bound over Ruff, his
wife and Mrs. H. E. Porter, fixing their
bond at SSOO each. Mr. Buford, with
other witnesses, had given evidence as
to the character of the place. The
Cadillac is just around the corner of
Washington street from the Central
Presbyterian church, and the minister
felt an especial interest in the case.
Only one blow was struck, by Ruff,
officers interfering before he could
j make a further atatck on the minister.
COUNCIL TACKLES
MAIL PROBLEM IN
NAMES OF STREETS
Duplication of names and numbers of
Atlanta streets and the conditions of
k, the sidewalks will be taken up this aft
| ernoon by .the streets committee of
■ council, of which Harvey Hatcher is
BRhalrman On invitation from the
L ommlttee. D. C. Cole, assistant post-
■ H'naster; W. W. Strong, superintendent
■ Ebf carriers, and I. G. Hart, superin
■ftendent of mails, will appear before the
■(committee and specify the streets in
■which Improvements are asked.
H The fact that in many instances there
V are two streets with the same name
* make it hard for mail clerks to avoid
delays and confusion in handling the
mail and often cause letters to be a
*&y late in being delivered. Many va
ritions of the popular word 'Peach
r«se” also add to the confusion. Ac
ceding to one mail clerk, there are
a jout seventeen “Peachtrees” in At
laita. Peachtree street, place, terrace,
ypw. avenue, court, heights, and then
ne irly as many variations of West
Peachtree make the handling of letters
extremely difficult, especially when the
at ],lress is carelessly written.
iflo BEER DEALERS
FACE INDICTMENT:
HAVEN'T PAID TAX
The Fulton .county grand jury today
took up about 100 presentments against
100 near-beer dealers who had failed to
pay their license fees, but adjourned
before reaching a decision. It is ex
pected that indictments will be re
turned in every instance. The indict
ments are for a misdemeanor.
Fulton county dealers are the only
ones in the state that have failed to
pay the licerise taxes, and the cases
against them were made only after
Governor Bfotvn had insisted that Ful
ton county authorities act.
Near-beer license taxes in Fulton
COuntv aggregate $75,000 and were due
on January 1. Only $9,300 has been
paid to Ordinary Wilkinson and sent to
the state treasurer.

arms.

give. The proceeds go to the support
of the Sheltering Arms It is the one
day in the year that this home asks
public aid.
A warning has been sent out by the
taggers. It tells every male person in
the city that he might as well dutifully
prepare himself for the tagging opera
tion. for it’s coming to him sure.
As a matter of fact, there will be a
young army waiting on the corners for
the express purpose of being tagged.
If, in some manner, the young women
with the tags should happen to over
look them, they would immediatelj- be
come pursuers themselves.
The plan of battle has been drawn.

several commanding officers. Each dis-

trlct will be in the hands of a field
marshal and several assistants. Every
prominent corner will be patrolled;
every public building will yield itself
to the invader.
They will be everywhere at once, and
should any one hope to escape without
purchasing at least one of the tags, he
will have to hunt a storm cellar some
where.
In addition to the young women, who
will be stationed in prominent places,
there will be another group which will
take in the city with an automobile.
Out into the highways and byways they
will go. He who travels by foot or by
horse will be stopped gently and given
the “come across" sign.
The young women will begin tagging
about 8:30 o'clock.
