||OME EOITIO|\| VOLUME XIX. No. 74. Kahrs Case To Be Heard in the Superior Court Monday 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 Teeming With the Store News of Augusta's Live Merchants . . . . 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. Pa., tie made application for the Job. Many old fogies In the state thought he ought to be placed In Jail for Ills display of nerve Why the Idee-eo! Just a com mon Irish hall player wanting to be a governor. Absurd! “Tener elected by a sweeping ma jority," read the election night bulle tins.
