Twenty-three Beer Dealers Under
Warrants and Seven Places
Enjoined Under Tiger Act.
SAVANNAH, Dec. 23.—With 23
near-beer saloonkeepers under war
rants charging them with violations
of the prohibition act and seven In
junctions- to close places under the
old blind tiger nuisance act, the anti-
saloon movement that sprang into
existence after the recent lecture of
Seaborn Wright to-day is assuming
large proportions.
W. B. Stubbs, the man at the head,
made the statement that he would not
stop until every place in the city
was closed. He acted, he said, in
time to save large quantities of
whisky being shipped out of the city
to country places in the two States.
It is the first time since the prohibi
tion act was enacted that the saloon
men of the city are genuinely alarm
ed.
They have retained Osborne &
Lawrence, prominent attorneys, to
defend the first 50 cases that will be
made, and when the injunctions come
up for a hearing December 24 they
will ask that the court make the
prosecutor. Stubbs, give them an in
demnity bond for the losses while
the cases are pending and the places
closed.
Should the judge rule that the pros
ecutor Indemnify the keepers it will
be a serious blow to the prosecution,
as it will take several thousand dol*
lars.

Tried to Free Husband.
The mother is Mrs. M. E. Manley,
who. the police say. has confessed
that she smuggled steel saws to her
husband at police headquarters late
Saturday night. If she is convictjd,
the penalty will be one to four years
in the penitentiary.
The father of the babe is locked in
a solitary ceil on the floor below his
wife and child.
Mrs. Manley's grief is not for her
self or her hutband. They are will
ing, she sax s, to take w hatever conse
quences might be the result of thelt
arrest.
'But it seems unjust.” she said
Tuesday morning, "that my baby
must spend Christmas in jail. This is
her first Christmas, and it hurts that
she must always know that she spent
her first Christmas locked up in a
coll, with none of the pleasures that
other babies w ill have. 1 don't mind it
so much for myself. I don’t think I
did wrong in trying to let my husband
out so baby could have a Christmas,
and see Santa Claus and her papa—
but 1 suppose it can’t be helped."
Must Stay With Mother.
There seems to be no way that lit
tle Jacques, innocent of any crime,
can keep from spending her first
Christmas in jail. She can't leave un
less her mother does—and the moth
er is hold under a $300 bond, because
the law soys a person who tries to
help a prisoner escape is a felon.
And so the memory of a little child
must be forever seared with the
thought that Its first Christmas was
spent in a prison cell—for the law
must be satisfied.
