Admits Forging Check. Young Richardson, who is in knee trou sers, has confessed that he forged the J name of Mr. M< Gahee. He attempted to I pass the check on the Farmers and ; Traders bank, in Peters street, but the ! cashier, suspecting crookedness, detained him and sent for an officer. The amount of the check was sl9. Tiie alleged operations of the two boys had no connection, whatever. Boatfield is accused of forging the names of Mr. Howell and Mr. Grinnell to checks lor S3O each, which were tendered to two down town department stores. Boatfield de inies the forgeries, and protests that the (•hecks were given him by another man | with instructions to present them at the respective stores. The sanw. game was worked on both establishments. The youth is said to have presented a note, in the first instance signed by Mr. Grinnell, asking that sls be placed to his credit on his account and that the remainder of the S3O cheek be returned to him In change. Boatfield Boy Trapped. Following this the swindle was detected, and other downtown stores were warned to be on the lookout. The next check presented was indorsed with the name of Mr. Howell. It was accompanied by a note similar to the first. It chanced, however, that Mr. Howel! had no account in this particular store, and, as the credit man already was on his guard, the game was nipped. Boatfield Hieing taken into custody. He insisted at I tiie time that he was merely acting as a messenger, and went with the credit man to Whitehall and Alabama streets to point out the man he said gave him the note. He failed to find him and was locked in the police station. Detectives give his story some credence, however, and are, making every possible effort to find '‘the man.’’ fire and Burglar Season Is Here • At such a time, your valuable papers and jewelry are in DOUBLE danger if kept loose in the house.

KING HARDWARE CO. 87 Whitehall 53 Peachtree Dudley Glass Enters The Insurance Field W Jmlk I 'HI . • ■ I if Dudley Glass. The announcement was made today of the appointment of Dudley Glass as special state agent for the Columbian National Life Insurance Company cf Boston. This appointment, will go into effect January 1 and means that Mr. Glass will leave the newspaper business at that time. He will be associated with Alfred C. Newell, general agent of the Columbian National, and will have charge of the personal accident and health department in the state at large. Mr. Glass has been associated with The Georgian in various editorial ca pacities for the last Sevan years and is generally regarded as one of the ablest newspapermen in the South. As a writer of whimsically humorous and what are known in newspaper jargon as “human interest” stories, he has few equals in this section of the country. It will be good news to thousands of newspaper readers who have chuckled at his Ole Man Blivins or Uncle Hi stories, or followed with tightening throats any of the thousand and one real tlgures in the Innumerable happen ings of Atlanta that his pen has infused with tletion-like pow’er to thrill, to learn that lie will not entirely discon tinue his newspaper writings. Mr. Glass from time to time will write for The Georgian. SAM LOEB ISI SENE SENTENCE First Convicted Violator of Liquor Law Loses His Long Legal Battle. Samuel Loeb, of Atlanta, “the original violator of the state prohibition law,” fined *I,OOO, with an alternative of twelve ninths on the road gang, after fighting ills case unsuccessfully all tiie way to tl • supreme court of the United\States, ha - b'f turned down finally in his last injt t « evade sentence, by the prison comnussion’s refusal to recommend clem ency to the governor. Loeb’s h gal battle to avoid both the fine and the gang sentence has been ex pensive. He was the first man con vioted under the law enacted in 1907, and he lias been fighting since. He went before the prison commission, a last resort, and told it lie was un able to pay a fine of SI,OOO, and that he could not. therefore, avail himself of the alternative to a gang sentence —and it < crtainly did hurt his feelings mightily to think of going to the rdkd gang and wearing stripes. Thefefore, wouldn’t the commission ent down that fine to something like—well, say, $4.13? Loeb thought he could rake and scrape together that much. No. the commission would not reduce that fine not even to $999.99. It was the f ull SI,OOO from Loeb, or the gang. Loeb feels that he has been pretty bad ly “rough housed” by the commission, but there is no escape. He must pay up, ui don the stripes. Henry H. Pittman. Henry H. Pittman, the two-year-old son of M.
