‘TIGER' BUSINESS
ON WANE IN CITY
Locker Clubs Cut Into -Indus
try,” and Virtually Only Of
fenders Now Are Negroes.
“Atlanta’s locker clubs have put all
of the big blind tigers out of business.
Most of the blind tigers operating now
are of the negro, hip-pocket variety,
and their business is almost exclusively
among negroes," said Police Chief
•Beavers today in discussing the liquor
situation of the year.
The number of tigers bagged by the
police this year will be nearly the same
as the total for last year, but “there’s a
different class of them," as one officer
remarked.
The total number of tigers raided up
to the first of November was 617, while
for last year the total was 692. Thi.=
leaves a difference of 75, with two
months of this year unrecorded.
The vast majority of tigers arrested
this year have been negroes of the pint
and half-pint brand.
The city now has 22 locker clubs,
while at the beginning of last year there
Were less than half that number in ex
istence. It is the growth of these so
cial organizations which has decreased
the blind tiger business, according to
the chief.
- “Our greatest trouble with blind ti
gers now is among the negroes," says
Chief Beavers. “The big wholesalers,
and, in fact, all of the big tigers, have
bitten the dust. Moet of them have
been put out of business bv the police
and the courts. Some cf the tigers no
doubt have quit from sheer lack of busi
ness and profit, due to the operation ot
so many locker clubs.
“The negroes, of course, can not be
long to the locker clubs, and they still
are doing business with the blind tiger.
This is the cause of so many arrests of
tigers this year. Virtually all of the
ligers this year have proved to be loaf
ing negroes, who roam Decatur street
arid- other fertile spots with possibly
half a dozen iialf-pints of whisky in
their pockets, dishing it out to custo
mers on the fly.”

purchases before 6 o’clock in the morn

two sets of twins. The oldest child is

TURTLE NO HERO OF
1776, DESPITE DATE
CARVED ON ITS BACK
RED BANK, N. J., Nov. 29.—Having
heard stories about the great age to
which land turtles live, Howard Rog
ers was only' mildly' surprised when he
picked up a. turtle and saw carved on
its back, ”H. C. —J. H., 1776.” He was
sure he had found a Revolutionary
relic.
He took the turtle home and exhibited
it proudly until Harry Clay' examined
the turtle and reeled off a yarn that
spoiled the Revolutionary- theory.
Clay said that fifteen vears ago he
and John Henrehen, now of Newark,
were boys together and that they found
that turtle. They. too. had heara sto
ries of ancient tortoises and determined
to have a little fun. They carved the
initials and the date and set the turtle
free, expecting that it would be found
again within a short time and that they
would have a little fun. The turtle did
not let itself be found ami the two boys
forgot their attempted hoax. Clay only
remembered the incident when he again
saw his old tortoise friend.
