2 WRIGHT HUE JOEBROWNFDR LIQUOR HOUSES Famous Prohibition Leader Says Governor Is Responsible For Violations in Savannah. ROME GA. Nov. 28 Aiousi-il by the publication of shameless violations of the state prohibition laws in Georgia, a- set forth in 'file Atlanta Georgian of Monday last, Seaborn Wright, the great ’’dry” leach r of Floyd county. th* man who put the slate-wide law on the stat ute books, expressed himself vigorously today as to the cause of the Savannah situation, and outlining at least one method of procedure whereby it may be abated. Mr. Wright says that the John Sulli van. Jr., Company, of Savannah, which concern has been circularizing Georgia, through the United States mail, solic iting mail orders for whisky to b* ship ped out of Savannah broadcast thiough out the state, is but doing th* am* illegal tiling that houses in Augusta and other cities are doing, all in fla grant and unpardonable violation ot the law of the state. Tlie Floyd county prohibition leader severely scores Governor Hi own for his passive attitude in the mattei of law enforcement, so fur as prohibition law is concerned, and contrasts it with his activity in < nforcing it against railroad strikers and negro criminals. Solicitors Have Weapon. All'. Wright says tiie solicitors and judges have a weapon witli which they may reach the evil sought to In- *Ol - reeled, and that without waiting f.. ■ a jury' verdict, too often not coming; and lie cites bis own city of Rome as an example of how the law ur* iy may be enforced again -t. violators. Mr. Wright said: “The 'mail order' houses of Satan nah arc but another forward step by the whisky trust and brewery combine in the open, shameless nullification of th*' law of a sovereign state. “The cause of this forward step by the whisky and beer interests lies in the fact that the people have * leeu-d a governor who says lie can not enforce law in Georgia ; have elected judges and solicitor generals who will not enforce law against an arrogant, brutal power in our cities, because their fear of los ing office is stronger than the sanctity of the oath they have taken to uphold tile laws of their state. "Jt Is folly to mince words, to ileal in mild language. Tile governor. the judges and solicitors general of our large cities are responsible for the out rageous nullification of a great law they have sworn to enforce. Cites Woodrow Wilson. "Some months ago the present gov ernor of New Jersey, a man by the name of Wilson, was notitieil by tiie good people of certain cities in his state tliut tiie ei(y officials anil local state officers would not enforce the law; against the powerful whisky and beer interests of these cities. This govern or <Jid not hesitate or quibble; he noti fied these offi* ials if the state law was not enforced lie would see to it that it was enforced. This simple announce ment was enough. Nullification of law in New Jersey stopped. “A few weeks ago the present gov ernor of Indiana, a man by the name of Marshall, not a whit bigger physically than Georgia's governor, was notified that the laws of Indiana against race track gambling were not enforced. Also this governor did not hesitate or quib ble. He notified the officials of the county in which this open nullification of law was going on that if it was not stopped he would take a hand. It was not stopped, and he RID take a hand— slid the army of the stqte, of which lie was commander, went and stopped it. Brown Has Army. Now, Georgia's governor, who. of course, can use the army of the stat* to protect railroad property from strik ing workmen or a negro brute from the angei of an outraged people, can not touch th*' Savannah 'mail order houses.' though tiie cursed stuff they force upon the unhappy country people of Georgia jeopardizes th*' safety and honor ot thousands of white women in Georgia. “Now a word as to the judges and solicitors general of our lug cities. They know the law is being violated, openly trampled on and despised by the liquor interests. Are they helpless to enforce 1t ? Have they no power to enforce law "They tell us tiie juries will not eun \ ict for a violation of this law Then why d<> tiny pot exercise the power di rectly vested in them by the law they are sworn to enfoi*■**'.' "It is made the duly of the solii itofs general to proceed by injunction against every place w her* liquor is ill* gaily made or sold. It is tic plain DUTY ot the judge to abate such places as a nuisance The jury only remotely has to do with such eases. "Wily do they not perform this oath • bound duty'.'

Bower was remanded until Saturday to await tiie outcome of the wound. The police have learned that Bower applied for a taxicab license a month ago, but that it was refused by the po lice.

Savage's pro duction of Hupert Hughes' *'.ilsodical farce, which will be at the Atlanta be ginning today, possesses novelty that alone is sufficient to earn for the pltty unusual interest. Its clean humor, the mu th provocative nature of its clever sit uations and entanglements, and its pre sentation by a east that is individually ami collectively brilliant, make a total that is irresistible. AU of the action of the farce takes place aboard an overland limited train. The story is the experience of a number of widely contrasting types who make up Hie passenger list, a great many of these experiences being origi nated or accentuated by tiie conduct ot a fat. black, good-natured an*l character istically witty Pullman porter. A hold up * f the train is present*.l with a careful attention to truthful detail that provides a real thrill in its illustlon of actuality ami offers tiie means for Hie various members of th*' train party, who have managed to get mixed en route, to straighten themselves out.

The snow paclted tight and. hard against the signs front and bad; of every street ear and it was ipi possible to tell their destinations. Con duetoi's on back and motormen on front ! were forced to tell thousands of inquir ■ ers that theirs tyas not the car wanted and much delay*, resulted. Women stood despairingly on the corners, yvaiting sometimes more than half an hour for some car which they recognized to bear them homeward. Cais on Peachtree from Auburn ave nue toward the viaduct were lined up for more than two blocks because of an accident due to the snow which oc curred at 6. A big Peachtree car went off tiie track at Auburn avenue and for 45 minutes traffic was blocked while street ear employees pushed and shoved the leviathan on the opposite t ack. Automobile drivers were umrble to see where to drive because of the snow packed tightly against their wind shields and a number of collisions took place. The motormen were handicapped in the same manner. Street car 339, going to Piedmont park on Peachtree, was stopped at the Georgian Terrace by an automobile whose engine had gone "dead” from the cold. The chauffeur had to push the ear off the track. On this same car two women with babies in their arms were riding who had been caught in a department store by the storm. They had bought blankets to keep the little ones from freezing. A farmer passen ger who had a quart bottle of whisky under his coat pulled the bottle at tire coiner of Twelfth and Peachtree and look a long drink. He said he felt like he would be able to make it to Rock Springs. The street clock on Peachtree, just north of Auburn avenue, froze and stopped at 10:55 p. m., but the clock op posite the Fourth National bank build, ing was still doihg business this morn ing, although its north face was cov ered with snow, ATLANTA TWENTIETH CITY IN COUNTRY IN BUILDING OPERATIONS R. M. Walker, president of the At lanta Builders exchange, has been com piling figures on the growth of Atlanta and is authority for the statement that the city ranks twentieth in building operations among the cities of the United States, although it ranks thirty first in population. Mr. Walker made this assertion last night at Durand's case at the monthly dinner of the At lanta exchange. Mr. Walker also declared that the application for a permit for the con struction of the Winecoff hotel, which will cost $300,000, indicates that the year's building aggregate will exceed $10,000,000, against $6,215,900 in 1911, a gain of 50 per cent. DOCTORS ARE GROWING A NEW NOSE ON GIRL FORT WAYNE. IND.. Nov. 28.-Ka.th ei inc Godfrey, 3 years old, is growing a new nose and the materials are the left floating rib from her body and flesh taken from the right forearm. A year ago the child lost her nose through an accident. Three weeks ago physicians decided upon a novel operation. The floating rib was removed from the chest and buried in the forearm, where it was allowed to remain until flesh grew about it. The forearm was then band aged tightly to the child’s face, where it will remain until the flesh and bone unite with the forehead. “BREAD LINE’’IS OPENED TO AID UNFORTUNATES NEW YORK, Nov. 2s.—A week's cele bration of the 33 years, in helping "down and outers" to the up-and-in-ranks, was begun by the Bowery mission at its 11*- tle brick chapel with song, prayer, an niversary sermon. reminiscences and much feasting. The latter, in which hundreds shared, was at the expense of “Mother" Sarah Bird and Frederick Tow'nsepd Martin, and it marks the reopening this week of the wimer bread line, at which a thousand cold and empty are warmed and filled ev ery midnight with hot coffee and rolls.

The suit case flew open and twelve quarts of liquor dropped out, several breaking fill the paving. He and his doubly heavy load were sent to the police barracks for investigation by the recorder. FITZGERALD FAIR CLOSES. FITZGERALD, GA.. Nov. 28.—Tile Tri-County fair, which has been in progress during the past eight days, closed yesterday with "Negro day" ex ercises.

SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS ON GEORGIA POLITICS By JAMES B. NEVIN. Just because one old man walked *0 miles to get a pardon for a wayward son, in order that the son might "take Thanksgiving din- - JAMM E* LNrvIW ner with the old folks," and just because a four teen-year-old girl petitioned the governor to take her brother out of the chaingang and put him in the state reformatory, and just because both pleas were' successful. Gov ernor Joseph M. Brown does not wish tiie impres sion to become deep-seated in the public mind that every old man who walks 70 miles and every foitrteen year-old girl who calls at the executive offices can put over stunts of similar persuasion. The governor has much of the milk of human kindness in his make-up. and he believes in extending executive clemency wherever it is indicated, but a merely sympathetic plea, a “sob” Story with nothing substantial behind it, does not get anywhere particularly in the Brown philosophy. The governor lets it be understood, gentlj- but firmly, that executive clem ency in his office arises out of merito rious eases only, and parties encour aged by late events need not waste either their time or the governor's with pleas for commutation of sentence, un less there is something very substan tial in tiie cases besides the sympathet ic end of it. And there were entirely sufficient reasons for clemency in the cases of the old man and the young girl, re cently successfully argued before the governor. Referring to a statement made by the executive department of the state of Georgia to the executive department of the state of Oklahoma, to the effect that the governor of Georgia is power less to remove or in any wise discipline a sheriff in Georgia, and that the sher iff may be reached byway of a trial by jury, and in no other way', The Sa vannah News comments vigorously as follows: The necessity for a change in ex isting laws was impressed on the people of this state during a recent Georgia railroad strike, and in the case of one or two lynchings and at least one hanging. The Georgia sheriff is responsible only to the people who elect him, but when he shows a disposition to look more carefully after his own re-elettion than after the enforcement of the law, it does seem as if there should be some method of administering discipline more speedy than the slow-moving trial by jury. It is altogether likely that two new laws will be proposed in the next legis lature vitally affecting the points raised by The News. A statute will be proposed giving the governor more direct power in the mat ter of disciplining a sheriff derelict in his duty, and another will be proposed providing for the execution of all crim inals condemned to death at some cen tral point within the slate—either At lanta or at the state farm, near Mil ledgeville. Both of these acts will greatly aid. so many people think, in the sure and orderly enforcement of the criminal law. Game Warden Jesse .Mercer says that more hunters' licenses are being issued in Georgia this year than ever before, and with little or no friction. When the licensee were first required by the state there was considerable kicking from various quarters, and pro tests were registered frequently. This year, however, the licenses are being taken out and paid for cheerfully, as the public seems to have been educated up, in away, to the fact that the game laws are designed not only to protect the game, but to protect the hunter and the sports as well. "The game laws of Georgia," said Mr. Mercer, “are working smoothly and most satisfactorily. I do not antici pate any widespread violations of the statutes, moreover, as the public seems to realize that we have made up our minds to enforce them rigidly, and Impartially, wherever a disposition to violate or evade them is discovered.”* Chairman of the Interstate Com merce Commission Judson J, Clements, who formerly represented the Seventh Georgia district in the national con gress. said in a recent interview that Increased speed is not the thing the traveling public needs or desires so much as it is comfort and sanitation In travel. The commissioner thinks that dirty dingy cars, stuffy, badly heated arid' poorly ventilated, minus perfectly san itary arrangements for drinking and toilet purposes—these, and poor depot equipment and so forth, are much more to be deplored than that It takes five hours, rather than four and a half, to go from somewhere to somewhere else. So exacting are the duties of the commission in Washington that Mr Clements seldom gets to Georgia now adays, but he came down to vote for Wilson and Marshall on November 5 all right! A nice, little gubernatorial boom for "Rufe” Hutchens, of Rome, has been Inaugurated by some of his admiring friends. Georgians generally will not object to a Hutchens gubernatorial boom of course—but with John M. Slaton's ' in auguration still some six months off it does ook as If the Hutchens boom has been trotted out a little early In the game! The coprt of appeals has cleared ui the atmosphere in two particulars, with respect to the new game laws. The court holds that it is unlawful *, hunt any sort of game at any time, p rc . tceted or unprotected by the law gav , in one’s own militia district, Without state license to hunt; and that gaZ protected and unprotected, can not he hunted on land other than the hunter's own, without the owner’s permissiw The court also holds that a hunt with hounds, legally started, may be canic'i •onto land where the hunter has not tie owner’s permission to hunt, but that a new-hunt may not be originated then without the owner’s permission. The game laws are now very well d e . lined in Georgia, and the authorities a e of the opinion that those who violate them must, in most instances,’do so *IL liberately and knowingly— and they wir proceed accordingly, where necessar' Despite the depressing predictions ot a few who taid the country would go straight onto thft rocks of hard tim* s right after the national election, The Winder News sees rainsbows a-plent in the skies, and thinks things look all right in Georgia. Protesting vigorously against sue "hard times” wails as it has heard, The News advances these suggestions: Yes, times are hard, if you listen to the song of the money-grabber and the pessimist. But is there a real reason for hard times? Cotton is selling today for a third more than it did this date last year. And it is a debatable question as to whether the crop is off more than a thiiffi compared with the average crop raised In this section. When a few Glooms and Grouches begin to predict hard times, every old Money-bag and Skin-flint starts the bailiffs to hustling and a situa tion is created that is hurtful. Most of these men are like the Irishman who heard the bank was going to the wall—he wanted his money right then. When told to draw his check and it would be given him, he said: "Faith, and if I can git it, I don’t want it.” If those who owe money will honestly do what they can to meet their obligations, and if creditors will be as lenient as circumstances will permit, times will soon loosen up. Reports from all over Georgia indi cate that times are all right It seems that politics does not neces sarily depress business in this state, for Georgia has had lots of politics during the past two years, and hand in hand with it came abundant prosperity. Representative Samuel J. Tribb'.e, who is just completing his first term ;n congress, and will begin a new one on March 4, passed through AtlantaJo day, on his way to Washington. He believes the Democratic congress now in session will shape largely the tariff program for the coming special session of the new congress, and that the extra session need not last more than 60 days. He believes the tariff will be revised sharply downward and that right off the reel. Mr. Tribble is of the opinion that the Democrats would make a fata* mistake to trifle with the tariff issue, in the light of the late presidential campaign results. FIREMAN IS INJURED IN ENGINE HOUSE MISHAP C G.
