2 THE GEORGIAN'S NEWS BRIEFS ATLANTA LOCKED CLUBS TO CLOSE Mayor Woodward’s Plea for a “Dry” Christmas Is To Be Granted. Mayor Woodward's proclamation for a sane celebration of Christmas will make it one of the "dryest” days of the year, according to all indica tions Tuesday. Those wh« want to celebrate to excess will have to gob ble rather than guzzle, as Elbert Hub- hard would say, for Mayor Wood ward’s Instructions about the sale of intoxicating drinks will be pretty closely followed. The “near-beer” saloons have to close by his order, and the purely locker clubs are now skating on such thin ice politically that mo9t of them have decided not to ignore a request from the Chief Executive of the city. Some of them have engagements to face Recorder Broyles on charges of violating the prohibition law. The police claim that their cases are so strong the Recorder is certain to lay tines on them in keeping with the generous spirit of the season. The new Police Committee Mayor Woodward is to appoint will pass in a few weeks on the merits of the appli cations of these organizations for a renewal of licenses. Much depends on the temper of this Police Commit tee as to whether some of the clubs shall be allowed to continue in busi ness. Forced to run such a gamut, most of these clubs are advising their members to get their packages on Christmas Eve, as they probably will close their doors on Christmas Day. The formal decisions will be made by officers of the clubs Tuesday. The social clubs of the city will serve eggnog and have special Christ mas dinners, as usual. r x o t o vXTEue/xvv-r uoStAJU CHAMP CLARK GRILLS CALAMITY HOWLERS CHAMP CLARK.
