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.

And the mother, locked in jail be cause she tried to help her husband got out of jail so he could spend Christmas with her and be Santa Claus for their baby, will hear the Christmas chimes and the glad voices of the little children as they play In tlie streets beneath her cell—and there will be one heart that will not know the joy of peace and good will. 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. 2 Escaped Felony Convicts Captured Miss Dorothy Eaton Has 19 Proposals BOSTON.
