Mr. W. Inman Curry, Representing Law and Order League,
Asks For Injunction Against Near-Beer Dealer. Bases
Case Largely on Cassidy Decision.
In the superior court tomorrow
inorninK the case brought by certain
Augusta citizens, members of the
Law and Order League, will be beard
against Jno. H. Kahrs. a local saloon
keeper. Mr. \V. Inman Curry Is at
torney for the petitioners. It Is un
derstood that the defendant will bo
represented by Mr. C. A. Piequet.
Mr. Curry buses his case largely on
the decision of the supreme court in
the Cassidy case, which was carried
up from Macon, which was to tile ef
fect that a person wno has been con
victed of violating the prohibition act
of 1907, or who has pleaded guilty
to violating it, forfeits his license to
carry on a near-beer business in
Berlin Striving To Become The
Greatest All Night City
In The World
Program Is: 8 to 11 O’clock, Theatre; 11 to 2 Wine or
Dance Halls; 2 to 4, Bars; 4 to 6 A. M. Night Resorts.
Berlin.—F or years Berlin strove to
become the greatest all-night city ia
the world. Now, when it boasts that
distinction, there are widespread ap
peals for putting on the brakes.
Out of the 44.'! members of the Prus
sian diet, 370 have backed the asser
tion that the city is a den of vice,
and have petitioned the minister of
the interior to “ward off the dangers
to which the bodies and souls of youths
are exposed.’’
The forty members of the progres
sive party In the diet have not Joined
in the petition, but their spokesman
declared that in a general way it ex
pressed their desires.
Baron Schenck zu Schwoinsherg,
speaking for the conservatives, made
a bitter attack upon conditions in Ber
lin. The number of dissolute women,
lie said, was increasing tremendously,
with all the evils that follow in their
train. “Berlin by night” had become
an advertising slogan, known through
out the world. As a matter of fact,
Berlin by night was “the darkest spot
in Prussia and in the German em
pire." Cabarets, dance halls and dan
gerous drinking places were destroy
ing the youth, and when a move was
made against them, the cry went up
that the police were threatening busi
ness. The baron also attacked the
cinematograph as a factor in demoral
ization.
Night Program.
A free conservative representative,
Herr Voster, second Baron zu Schwein
berg’s statements. The city’s night
program, he said, is made up as fol
lows: From 8 to 11 oVlock, theatre;
11 to 2, wine restaurants or dance
halls; 2 to 4. bars, and 4 to 6, “night
resorts." The advocates of all-night
revelry, he said, defended their at
titude' by declaring that Berlin is one
of the world’s great cities and must
cater to visitors from abroad. They
Overlooked the fact that the public
places in Ivondon close at midnight
and on Paris boulevards at 1 o'clock.
“Baseball Today is a Gigantic Business
With Millions Invested; I Shall Do All
in My Power to Help it. ,f —Tener
New York.—Bring to y ur mind a pic
ture of the biggest, huskiest being that
you ever have seen, include even the
"white hopes’’ and the men with pose
as mastodons in the circus sideshows—
and then you have a pretty fair idea of
the physicul make-up of John K. Toner,
the man who is bussing tlie state of
Pennsylvania and the National Baseball
League at one and the same time.
Tener is huge, massive, tremendous.
Advancing years have made him slightly
bulky amidshlp, bus they have not rob
bed hint of much of the wonderful
strength of his youth, and today, at the
age of 51. he still looks perfectly able to
lift ail ordinary sized man off ills feet,
twirl him around like a chum major's
baton and then crush him in Ids huge
hands much in the same way that one
would erusch on egg-shell. But never
in Ills life lilts Tener called upon his phy
sical powers to win for him in life's
battles. lie s a disciple of moral sua
sion. a diplomat of the rarest kind.
These assets combined witli a strong
will power, a wonderful personality and
born leadership of men have won Mr
him in life's battles; have lifted Idin
from a general store clerk to a ball
player, to a banker, to congress, and f;
riallv Into the position us governor of
the second greatest state in the Union.
Smile Seldom Absent.
To know Tener Is first to admire—and
then to love him. There Is about him
a gentleness, a kindliness, that is al
most womanly. He has a rave, wonder
ful smile that seldom Is absent from his
face. He is patient, courteous, hut
never patronizing. Tener is Irish, and
the Celtic strain Is apparent In his love
for a good story, his dry. keen wit, and
Ids ability to tell a good story—and tell
it well.
Tener arts slowly but surely. He looks
before he leaps—and then takes another
look But when once he baa decided to
make the leap he Is stive of landing In
safety. And his speech is like Ids ac
tions He talks slowly, seeming to pick
Ills way, choosing each word before lie
utters It, but making each word ring
the bell. , . .
“Baseball today Is a gigantic bust
nr*/ In which millions of dollars are ln :
vested. As executive of one particular
branch of that Industry I shall do every
thing In mv power to protect those In
terested an.l to see that Justce Is meted
out to all."
Has Made Good.
That was the gist of Tener's speech
to the National League magnate* last
December when he was elected. Al
The Ads in Today's Herald are

THE AUGUSTA HERALD
Georgia for all time. It is said that
Kahrs pleaded bullty to a violation
several jears ago,
The petitioners allege that Kahrs
la conducting a near-beer saloon In
which mail and spirituous liquors are
now being sold In violation of law.
The case Is of tremendous interest
in Augusta and the decision of the
court will be awaited eagerly by both
the Law and Order League members
and the near-beer dealers. Which
ever wav the court decides, however,
there will be an appeal to the su
preme court. . ... ...
The case against the Albion Hotel
will probably come up some time
3ater.
“ile who knows our night life knows
what demoralization it causes among
our youth,” said the deputy.
Representatives of tho clerical and
national liberal parties also attacked
existing conditions. Dr. Schroeder of
the national liberals deplored the fact
that these conditions were not ron
fined to Berlin. The smaller cities,
too, are becoming infected, lie said.
Johann von Dallwitz, minister of the
interior, declared that there were
great obstacles in the way of a suc
cessful campaign against the dangers
of present conditions. He said the
government was trying to reduce the
number of doubtful resorts and had
actually effected a considerable reduc
tion in the number of places holding
all-night licenses. It was hoped event
ually to abolish entirely the so-called
“animation bars," where female wait
resses urge the guests to drink as
much and as often as possible, and
he expected much from the new meas
ure about to he laid before the reich
stag for the regulation of the lbiuor
traffic throughout the empire.
No Reply Made.
No earnest defender of the night lile
of German cities in all its phases has
as yet replied to the attacks in the
diet, hut one apologist lias directed
attention to a reason justifying later
hours for restaurants and cases in
Germany than in other countries. This
is the manner in which the working
day is divided. The average business
house suspends operations for from one
and a half to two hours at noon, when
the .big meal of the day is taken, and
close only at eight. This forces the
employes to work into the evening, ana
If they wish to visit theatre, moving
picture show or concert, they must
go directly from their place of busi
ness without pausing for supper. Tho
after-theatre supper is not a luxury
for them hut a necessity, and they
make up a big part of the crowd that
fi’ls the public fating and drinking
places from 11 until 2 o'clock.
ready lie lias made good. He decided
thut Murphy was a detriment to the Na
tional League. He went over the ground
carefully before lie decided in the Mur
pin case. Then when he arrived at
ids’ conclusion. It was an unalterable
one—and Murphy went out.
Tener was born in Ireland and when
a boy came to tlie land made famous by
George Coban. He got a Job as clerk
in a store ntsi each and eveVy week. At
odd times he studied baseball. Once a
week, after lie mastered the game, lie
earned $1 extra playing first base for a
semi-pro team.
Tlie Pittsburg club became cognizant
of his powers after a time and give him
a tryout. lie foozled and was released
to Baltimore. Again he foozled and as
a penance lie bail.to take a Job with a
Haverhill (Mass.) team. That decided
Tener that he had made a mi«take
thinking he ever would be a fiVst base
man. Ho lie went In for pitching nnd
Ills success us a liurler landed him back
in the iiig tent—as a member of the
Chicago team of JBSB.
"By a Sweeping Majority.”
Tener was considerable of a pitcher.
Players in those days declared that ne
used to stick the hall in his back
pocket nnd Just swing one of Ids piston
like amis at them. They were sure of
tills for whenever Tener was pitching
the batteVs never could see tlie ball as
it whistled across the plate.
When Al O. Spalding and other ball
players In the period of 1888-89 set the
"going around the world" fashion, Terier
went nltmg. That complicated things
for the pluyerß In several foreign climes,
The natives, seeing Tener, thought it
was a circus—not a hull aggregation—
that had come to town.
Early In the 90 s Tener, who had
taken a big part In the Brotherhood
War of 1890, uuit baseball and went In
for bunking In that dear old C'harleol,
Pa. A short time later he became af
flicted with political fever and recovered
only when the folk In his district elect_
ed him for congress
One taste of polities wasn’t enough
for Tener, so when he heard, a few
years back, that theVe would be a va
cancy in the state capitol at liarrlsburg.

Many old fogies In the state thought he
ought to be placed In Jail for Ills display
