School Saves Labor. ‘ A Program for Commercial Edu cation" was the topic of Dr. John Franklin Crowell, associate editor of The Wall Street Journal: "Whatever may lie said in favor of the all-experience method of com mercial training," he said, "it is at least true that a properly organized, fairly equipped and reasonably well- managed school is a labor-saving ma chine However good a teacher ex perience mav he, j*he is slow, unsys tematic and extremeh wasteful in her methods.

Conference Likely To Clear Way for Howell Mill Bridge At a meeting between President Arkwright, of tlie Georgia Railway end Power (’ompany. and a commit tee of Howell Mil! road citizens to be held Tuesday in President Ark wright’s office the last points of dis agreement are expected to be cleared away from the proposition that the Seaboard Air Line build a new bridge over the Howell Mill road at the In tersection—a bridge to take the place of the present condemned structure end strong enough to carry the heav iest type of electric cars The only difference at present is in regard to the flooring of the bridge and its preparation to carry street cat tracks.

East Atlanta to Demand Share of Citylmprovements Fast Atlanta came out Tuesday with tlie announcement that It had x brand-new improvement association, and that it proposed to gets its share of the appropriations doled out by Council. The East Atlanta Improvement Club had its origin at a meeting Mon- day night in the Ninth Ward. The officers arc: President, W. S. Loftls; secretary. F .VI. Kirkpatrick, treas ure:. J. L Carpenter. A committee was named to go be fore the stree t ra iway company and ask for better schedules on the line »o the Soldiers' Home Another com mittee whs appointed to go before the Finance Committee of Council and ask for a new East Atlanta school- house. .Still other committees were named to *eo that the streets ure cherted and that an adequate sewerage system is installed. Record Shipment Of 17 Carloads of law as much by members as by se bers. Dr. DuBose asserted that one of the greatest evils of the locker clubs was that young women w r ere in the practice of visiting the clubs with escorts and becoming shamefully in toxicated. Here is his formal statement, in part: "Atlanta enjoyed this year some thing of a 'sane' Christmas. Law breaking and crime were curtailed one-half. The record is encouraging This record is encouraging. The conclusion is inevitable that, had ALL the locker clubs of Atlanta been dosed on Christmas Day. along with their allies, the near-beer sa loons, the record would have been another 50 per cent better. Out of experience comes Judgment. Atlanta does not need locker clubs (as she dues not need near-beer saloons). They are the fly in her social oint ment, and this I propose to make plain. Testimony Damning. "The locker clubs have persistently flouted the law of the sovereign State of Georgia. Testimony as damning as it is dismal may be had first hand. A business man recently observed two young women as they emerged from a looker club in a skyscraper and entered the elevator. Bo heavy were the fumes of liquor on their breath that doubt was impossible. A young woman, late a servitress in a locker club, is now reported in a house of rescue. Another place is alleged to be constantly frequented by young women. Who are they? They are daughters and sisters—and there's the pity of it! These are hut a few of the dozens of stories of like tenor. Shame burn to cinder the cheeks of men when such things can be! "The law of Georgia, forbids the sale of Intoxicating liquors, absolute ly. Judge Russell, whom nobody will accuse of being a prohibitionist, de clared In a recent high court decision that IT IS AS UNLAWFUL FOR A LOCKER CLUB TO SELL TO ITS MEMBERS AS IT IS TO SELL TO NON-MEMBERS. Yet every locker club in Atlanta is selling whisky, and there are those who would have these conditions perpetuated. Likened to Plague. "There Is no mistaking the voice of the street. And to what end? ‘For the city's good for its commercial well being, and for its name abroad.’ is the bold and factitious answer. Locker clubs have wrought irrepar able moral and commercial hurt to several cities of Georgia. Every where they have been a moral infec tion and a commercial reproach. Good for the city! If a shower of plague a felony and makes you liable to penitentiary sentence of four or five years.” The negro was charged with taking the mule and wagon from before the Temple Court Building to Jonesboro, where he w r as arrested.

Should the United States become involved in war with one of the great world powers she would be at a terri ble disadvantage in the use of that most important adjunct of modern warfare, the aeroplane, in tlie opinion of \Y. J. Humphreys, head of the me teorological department of the United States Weather Bureau. Mr. Humphreys is not an alarmist He docs not anticipate war with any of the other powerful nations. He does not even know that there is a fairly remote possibility of trouble, but he believes In being prepared in • very department. A record shipment of automobiles «.t i.iif make to » Southern city enteen carloads—will pass through Atlanta Tuesday night at 10 o’clock en route to Jacksonville, Fla. The local offices of the Georgia Southern and Florida Railroad re ceived advices of the sh^mient Tues day and were requested to assist In making it a record shipment also in point of time. The seventeen cars are filled "Ith Fords from the Detroit factory for L. C. Oliver, a J ville agent.

Aikens against Samuel C. Aikens formed a sequel to the appearance of the latter at police headquarters Monday afternoon, bad ly disfigured, and charging two of his sons with assaulting him near his wife’s home at No. 8 Mell avenue, Edgewood, und also w ith kidnaping his two youngest children. In her petition Mrs. Aikens charges her husband with having an ungov ernable temper, with auuse of her and her children, and with having shot at one of his sons. On July 12, 1908, the petition charges, he went to Mrs. Aiken's home and with a loaded revolver took possession of the house, while the family tied to the house of a neigh bor; that he followed them, and, threatening them with the revolver, lined them up and "marched them back home like so many prisoners." Shortly afterward he packed his suit case and left home. He returned January 1, 1909. arid "after a violent outbreak of temper shot at one son." Mrs. Aikens also charges that, he coerced her into signing a warranty deed giving him her interest in the property at No. 8 Mel! avenue; that she received no consideration for this, but that he forced her to do it by playing on her feeling* and by creat ing anxiety for her children. Aikens is said to possess property worth from $5,000 to $7,000 and to earn a salary of $200 per month. An order was granted by Judge George L. Bell restraining him from dispos ing of any of his property or molest ing Mrs. Aikens. A hearing on this temporary injunction will be given January 6. Solution of Rosier Mystery Near; Victim Of Hold-up Revives City detectives declared Tuesday they were near a solution of the Ro sier mystery. The confectioner who was attacked and robbed Saturda\ was conscious Tuesday. He could not talk, but wrote a question for the de tectives: "Did you get that cabman?" Rosier had written the number of a cab before, and the detectives ar rested the negro driver, Ed Bowen. Chances for Roster's recovery were brighter Tuesday following opera tions. His left eye was removed and a broken Jawbone set. .Mayor Woodward Tuesday threat ened to hide out until he could write his annual message and make up his committees for the new Council be cause of constant interruptions. He held a conference Tuesday with Alderman J. H. Harwell, Councilman Claude L. Ashley, Councilman Charles W. .Smith and Councilman A. R. Col- (ord. Committee appointments were discussed. It was pretty well under stood what these men would get. Harwell likely will be chairman of the Board of Fire Masters; Ashley will be leappointed chairman of the Sanitary Committee; Colcord will be renamed chairman of the Police Com mittee. and Smith chairman of the Tax Committee—that is, if the gossip ran be relied upon. Mayor Woodward is leaving all of his friends more or less in the dark about his appointments. He discusses the matter with them and listens to what they have to say, but what he is going to do he keeps to himself. Doubt has arisen over the appoint ment of the chairman of the Finance Committee. A few days ago it was a foregone conclusion that Councilman W. G. Humphrey would be renamed. Now it is uncertain. The chances are Mr. Humphrey will get the place, but Alderman C. H. Kelley and Alderman Harwell are being considered. The fact is, if Mayor Woodward should carry out his threat of going into seclusion until the meeting of the City Council Monday, when he will deliver his message and make hie appointments, the members of Coun cil would not be left much more in the dark than they are at present. Jim Baxley, a negro slayer of an other negro in Coweta County, has been granted a two weeks' respite from the hanging, the original date having been set for next Friday. The Governor acted on the recom mendation of the trial judge and the Tl/^ vnn Fli tti A n yx /I j Solicitor General, who stated that a DCClciluO D1V lllBIIli certain conflict in the evidence left a doubt as to the negro’s guilt.

At the same meeting the Council "graft" probe committee will make its report on Electrician Turner.

This has been twice refused by Coun cil within the last two months. HoosiersFormSociety And Will Feast Jan.20 The first annual dinner of the Hoosier Society will be held at Hotel Ansley, January 20.
