DEFENDANT HITS pismtik 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. MACON OPENS NEW Y. M, C. A.
