make churches unnecessary,” said
John D. Rockefeller, on the street In

In making a contented community.”

Detectives Declare Pickpockets
Are Organized in Lxpert Gang
Working Downtown District.
Savannah Saloons
To Be Restricted
SAVANNAH, Dec. 3.—A distinct
victory for the anti-saloon interests
in the city was unofficially reported
to-day in a reliable announcement
that saloons to the south of Liberty
street would not be issued licenses
after the first of the year.
The announcement was like a bomb
in the midst of the liquor interests,
who had planned an extension and
the opening of seyeral more places.
The principal residential section is
south of Liberty street.
A second woman is being sought by
the detective department in connec
tion with the baffling operations of an
organized gang of pickpockets, whose
most spectacular coup was the clever
wholesale robbery of a trainload of
passengers on the Seaboard Air Line.
Additional stories of the gang's vie-
liins as they were told to the police
Wednesday included another woman
in addition to “The Queen of the
Pickpockets." who had been described
in the reports of the thefts which
took place on the train as it was
steaming out of the Union Station.
G. W. Snow, of No. 19 Pavilion
street, the loser of a wallet contain
ing SS8 is the man who brought the
other woman to the attention of the
detectives. He told them that he was
walking along Peachtree street and
was about at Five Points when he
was attracted by two well-dressed
young women. A man was with them.
An instant later he said lie was
crowded and Jostled hy them, but
thought nothing of it until a little
later when he found his wallet miss
ing.
• The trio is believed by the police
to be the leaders of the gang of
pickpockets and the city was
searched for them Wednesdav. Both
women are good looking. The elder
probably is 30 years old.
The later reports which have be;n
turned in to the police indicate lha;
the thieves have shifted their oper
ations from the trains to the depots
and streets and other places where
crowds congregate. Detectives have
been placed on trains going out of
Atlanta and the stations and prin
cipal streets also are being carefully
watched.
G. P. McIntyre, of Cartersville, Ga.,
was robbed of $43 while walking
along the uptown streets Tuesday.
He was unable to tell exactly wll. n
or where as he did not miss his
poeketbook until he started to buy a
ticket at the Terminal Station.
