With officers of the Southern Inter national Poultry association elected for another year, with plans for next year’s show tentatively made and with the crowds still large and the interest high, the poultry exhibition at the Audito rium-Armory is progressing smoothly toward its finish—which comes Satur day night. The big interest today was in the sweepstakes awards. They were: Best Pen in the Show—Barred Rocks, exhibited by W. S. Thompson, of the Atlanta Poultry Yards. Best Pullet in the Show—White Rock, exhibited by Martin F. Schultes, of Bartlett, Tenn. Best Cockerel in the Show—White Orpington, exhibited by William Cook & Sons, Scotch Plains, N. J.

MOORE TO REFUSE TO BE CANAL CONFERENCE HEAD The Panama canal conference, which met in Atlanta recently, will soon be obliged to name a new president, be cause Wilmer L. Moore, who was chosen as the conference's first head, will be unable to serve. Mr. Moore has not been officially notified of his selec tion, but he declares that he couldn't possibly fill the office on account of othep pressing duties. Mr. Moore is head of an insurance company and the Chamber of Commerce and finds his time well occupied. The conference desired to honor At lanta with the first president, and it is probable that another Atlantan will now be named. Walter G. Cooper, sec retary of the Chamber of Commerce, declined the office of treasurer for rea sons similar to those which actuated Mr. Moore. SULZER IN SECLUSION TO DODGE JOB SEEKERS ALBANY. N.

Mr. Sulzer expects to occupy only five minutes in delivering his speech at the inaugural ceremonies on January 1. 3LOGKERGLUBS GIIIE UP BATTLE Southern and Bees, Along With Mystic Ark, Quit Fight—G. A. C. to Appeal. Superior Judge John T. Pendleton, following his recent ruling against the Knights of the Mystic Ark. today caus ed two more locker club cases to be dismissed and denied an injunction in the third. Recognizing the hopelessness of at tempting to face the court on pleas sim ilar to those made yesterday by the Mystic Ark. attorneys for the Southern club and tire Order of Bees requested a dismissal shortly after the trial was called. Morris Macks, representing the Georgia Athletic club, making addition al allegations, went to trial. Judge Pen dleton denied him the injunction sought. This action means that the Southern and the Bees, as well as the Mystic- Ark, which have been operating under a temporary restraining .order, can be closed by the city authorities for doing business without a permit from council. The jurist’s decision in the Georgia Athletic club case will allow that club a breathing spell if its lawyers give no tice of an appeal. Not a week ago, the supreme court in a case not unlike the present one, ex cept in minor detail, held that Judge Pendleton did not err in refusing to grant this same club an injunction. Lawyers for the club are seeking for a Federal question, it is said, so that the cases can be taken to the United States supreme court. It s hardly likely that the Georgia supreme court will be ap pealed to a second time. HENNESSEE DENIES CHARGES OF FRAUD; SEES A “FRAME UP” O. T. Hennessee, former president of the Warren Manufacturing Company, suspender makers, today declared that charges of fraudulent use of his author ity, brought against him by E. J. Sprat ling and W. O. Steele, directors of the company, were false. Hennessee declared that he had acted within authority of the by-laws of the company in transactions wherein charges were brought against him. He further said that he, as the promoter and principal stockholder in the firm, had brought about the transactions in question in his own and other stock holders’ interest. He charged Spratling with having made a "frame-up” against him in or der to further his own interest, and to oust him from the presidency. Because of this "frame-up," Hennessee said, he had tried to obtain the extra shares of stock. BRING BACK BOOKKEEPER TO FACE THEFT CHARGE John D, Adams, former bookkeeper for Dougherty, Little & Redwine Com pany, in North Pryor street, is being held by the police of Sibley, Texas, awaiting the action of Fulton county authorities.

BOY SENT TO ASYLUM INSTEAD OF TO PRISON ON PLEA OF MOTHER Mrs. J. V. Alexander, gray-haired and dressed simply in black, stood before a jury in criminal court today and pleaded that her son, J. F. Alexander, arraigned on a charge of forgery, be committed to the state asylum as a lunatic rather than sent to the penitentiary as a felon. Mrs. Alexander took the stand shortly after j. F.
