ENTHUSIASM IN AUGUSTA
IS RUNNING VERY HIGH

Game.
Tomorrow is the big day of the local
football saeson. Richmond Academy
and Boys’ High, of Atlanta, will clash,
on the Warren Park gridiron for the
high school championship of Georgia.
Both teams are on edge for the battle
end fans will see the prettiest exhibi
tion of the old pastime ever staged
on an Augusta football field.
The Academy aggregation has ex
erted every effort to get in the very
best of shape for the same. Every
man on the squad realizes that it is
the big game of the season and is de
termined that the wind-up will find
the Academy holding the high school
honor.
In case the locals win, their stand
ing so; the year will be first place
among the high schools and third
place among all preps of the state,
Gordon and Riverside alone outrank
ing them. In case they lose—well, we
refuse to even consider such a pos
sibility
Enthusiasm Running High.
Never before has enthu iasm over
a football game reached such a high
pitch. Every man in town who has
ever seen a game is making arrange
ments to be there —there are hundreds
of others who, enthused over the great
showing made by the local institution
this season, are coming out to show
their appreciation of the efforts of the
Academy athletic authorities to make
this a real football town.
It would not be at all surprising to
see a crowd of two thousand or more.
Certain it is that the largest crowd
of the season will be on hand when
Kefere Caswell blows his whistle.
The Academy cadets are pledged to
attend in a body. Incidentally, if you
want to hear some real live “root
ing” come out and listen to these boys
cheer on the team that is representing
them.
Tickets Up-Town.
Tickets are on sale up-town at the
usual places, Albion Cigar Stand,

FORBIDS CHINESE PAPERS
PUBLISHED IN FRANCE
Peking.—The ministry of the inte
rior has circulated an order to the
various provinces prohibiting the cir
culation of the ‘Shao-nien-shen-pao’’
and another Chinese periodical pub
lished in San Francisco by Chinese
residents there. The order to the pro
vincial authorities states that as these
two papers are published with the sole

according to the press law.

Police Department’s Charges and
Hie Answer ot Recorder’s Friends
Officers of Department Ap
peared Before Police Commit
tee Yesterday and Gave
Evidence on Recorder W. D.
Irvin
FRIENDS OF MR. IRVIN SAY
POLICE ARE MAD BECAUSE
HE IS A “REAL RECORDER”
Claim That Because Depart
ment of Police Cannot Dictate
Want to Eliminate Him---De
partment Says Irvin Will Not
Impose Fines---His Friends
Say He Was Not Employed to
Persecute.
For several days it has been known
that an investigation was to be made
by the police committee of council
with regard to the official acts of
Recorder W. D. Irvin. This commit
tee had a meeting yesterday after
noon and one side of the case was
presented, that is the police depart
ment’s side, while the recorder will
be allowed to make a presentation of
his side of the affair on next Wednes
day. Yesterday’s hearing was purely
ex parte.
Statements were requested after the
meeting of the committee from Chair
man T. W. Pilcher and Mayor L. C.
Hayne, but neither had any statement
to make. Recorder Irvin was also
asked for a statement and he said
that he did not think it proper to make
one.
The police committee Is composed of
Messrs. Pilcher, Martin, Cuthbert,
McDonald, Jones and Woodward with
Mayor Hayne a member ex-officio.
Although, a:, stated, no statements
would be made by any of the parties
at interest, still enough has leaked
out for the reporters to gather a rather
clear idea of the trouble.
PHILPOT, LEFT END.
Christmas season.
This step was made necessary
because of the great amount of
cotton that is stored in warehouses
and other places here. Two new
warehouses have been built here
this season. These, in addition
to the two old ones, and all other
vacant houses, have been stocked
to the rafters with cotton. Be
sides, vacant lots and the sides of
streets are filling fast now.
Shooting of any fireworks here
would be dangerous.
Is Now an Investigation.
The police department seems to be
acting as prosecutor in the matter,
although charges have not yet been
actually preferred. If the police com
mittee, after an investigation, decides
that charges shall be preferred the
matter will be brought before the en
tire council and Mr. Irvin put on trial
before the same body that elected him
to the position.
Testimony against the recorder was
given by Patrolmen Tinley, Newsome,
Ray and Dunn, while Chief Elliott
and Captain Grubbs also offered tes
timony. The exact nature of the tes
timony is not known.
The Charges.
The police department charges, it
is understood, that the recorder re
fuses to sentence persons brought up
charged with violating Section 686 of
the city code, which says that "police
men shall arrest persons on the street
after 10 o’clock at night who are not
ing suspiciously and are unknown to
the policemen.’’ The recorder, so the
charges run, also, refuses to send peo
ple who are charged with loitering and
idling to the stockade, even after suf
ficient evidence has been brought out
against them.
The department also charges that
the recorder asks the advice of peo
ple in his court as to what disposi
tion he shall make of certain cases
that are brought before him.
Another charge is that he suspend
ed sentence on a man whom Police
man Dunn says pulled a pistol on that
officer when he was arresting him.
The Tinley charge is based on the
alleged fact that the recorder did not
fine the Georgia Railroad for block
ing a street when that officer had re
ported a blockade for a certain num
ber of minutes.
The friends of the recorder, asked
about these charges, say that the en
tire matter resolves itself into a ques
tion of who shall run the recorder’s
court, the police department or the
recorder himself.
Say Chief Wants to Run Court.
They make answer to each and
every one of the charges, if they may
be called charges, and say that the
chief of police and some of his of
feers are trying to run the court and
are mad because Mr. Irvin will not
allow them to do it.
As for the Tinley matter, they say
that Tinley watched the train block a
crossing without a word of warning to
THE AUGUSTA HERALD. AUGUSTA, GA.
the members of the crew that they
were about to violate a law and stood
with watch in hand waiting for them
to violate the law. The recorder told
Tinley that lie should have warned
tlie crew and when he dismissed the
case, or suspended sentence, Tinley
laughed at him. The recorder told
Tinley a repetition of the offense
would mean ten days in jail for him
for contempt of court.
As for the Dunn charge, the re
corder suspended sentence on a man
whom Dunn said drew a pistol on him,
although there was a large crowd
around and no one saw the pistol ex
cept Dunn.
Not Employed to Persecute.
As for the recorder’s refusal to sen
tence people charged with acting
"suspiciously or are unknown” to the
officers the recorder’s friends assert
that he was not employed by the city
to persecute and the police officers
must make out proper cases If they
wish the recorder to fine or imprison
people. Wherever there is a ease
properly made out the recorder takes
due cognizance and imposes sentence,
but he refuses to lot policemen will)
reputations for making large num
bers of arrests and who pride them
selves in the number they bring be
fore the recorder, get a sort of ghoul
ish glee in seeing poor unfortunate
white people and negroes go to the
stockade.
The recorder freely admits that he
asks the advice of people as to what
he shall do with certain defendants.
He asks Captain Grubbs, Clerk Daly,
Sergeant Hennies and other officials
of the court for their adviee often
times because of their association with
offenders for years and that such
actions, instead of being the bases
for charges, are commendable.
Say Department Has Planned “to Get”
Recorder.
That the police department has long
since planned “to get” the recorder Is
freely asserted by the latter's friends.
They say that unless a recorder sub
mits to the dictations of the police
department he will travel a rocky
l road. They stand by Judge Irvin’s
official record as recorder and say he
has done nothing in that position of
W’hich he is ashamed. He has tried
to be fair, he has searched to the bot
tom of cases, he has made mistakes
of lodgment probably in some cases,
but no one is infallible, and be is go
ing to be recorder while he is in the
position.
The above are the contentions of
Mr. Irvin's friends. In this story has
also been mentioned, insofar as they
could be secured, the allegations
against him by the police department.
The outcome will be watched with In
tense interest.
AT THE BIJOU
If you're going where the crowds go
these days, you're going to the Bijou
where, for the last hall of ibis week,
one of the best Keith vaudeville shows,
the funniest comedians and the slick
est artists in acrobatic tricks, etc... aro
entertaining audiences that tit times
simply almost split tlieir sides laugh
ing. They are real laughs, not strained
in the least.
To begin with, the patrons of the
theatre last night seemed exception
ally pleased with the act of Irving
Lewie —the Dutch nut.
Now, besides, there are three other
big acts of the Keith standard. They
arc Stanley, O’Brien and Brodle, a
comedy skit; Maddock, bounding wire
and hand balancer; and The Rosellos,
a real high class musical act.
Andonegui’s orchestra plays at ev
ery show, continuously from 2:30 to
10:30, and there are three reels of
moving pictures, one of which is A
Father's Crime,” an especially good
film.
FOLLOWS MOTION PICTURE
BUSINESS INSTEAD OF LAW
Frank Salley, of Augusta,
Graduate Law Department of
University of Georgia, is at
High Point.
Friends of Mr. Frank W. Salley, a
son of Dr. O. B. Salley of this city,
will be interested to know that he has
recently opened a motion picture the
atre of his own in High Point, N. 0.,
and has named 1t the Dreamland, after
the Dreamland of Augusa.
Strangely enough Mr. Halley, after
attending the Richmond Academy In
this city, took a course in law at the
University of Georgia and was gradu
ated. It was while he was attending
the university and studying law that
he took a fancy to the motion picture
business and helped defray his ex
penses at college by working with on-;
of the theatres in Athens. He was
later associated with one of the local
houses.
He has now dropped his law and Is
said to he doing well In hls new field.
The Host —It's beginning to rain;
you’d better stay to dinner.
The Guest —Oh, thanks, very much;
but it’s not bad enough for that.—Yale

TOOK HERALD CARRIERS
TO STRAND AND BIJOU
Youngsters—Sixty of ’Em—
Guests of Messrs. Sparks and
Schrameck Thursday Night.
Between sixty and seventy of Tha
Herald’s news carriers Thursday night
wqre guests of Messrs. Sparks and
Shrameck at the Htrand and also at
the Bijou. It is needless to sny that
the boys enjoyed themselves—they al
ways do at functions like these.
The entertainment was a treat from
the management of the Htrand and Bi
jou Theaters, and at the latter, in ad
dition to the moving pictures, the
youngsters witnessed a big four-act
Keith Vaudeville show, that pleased
every one of them.
AUSTRIAN rIeGIMEN-TgIVEN
COMMANDS IN ENGLISH
Berlin,—The English are not the
only soldiers in the present war who
are hearing their commands in tha
English language. According to a let
ter from an Austrian lieutenant, serv
ing in Galicia, there are In his regi
ment a number of Ruthentans who re
turned to Austria from the United
Htates to fight. And as these men
understand almost no German, he says,
the commands are given in English.
Tuxedo— the Most Enjoyable
and the Most Healthful Smoke
nHHE most enjoyable smoke is a pipe. But
-*• many men deny themselves this pleasure
because they have had unhappy experiences
with pipe tobaccos.
Likely you have paid 35 cents to 50 cents
for a tin of “fancy mixture,” and it burned
your mouth or throat, or was unpleasantly
strong.
Too bad—but you got the wrong tobacco.
The hundreds of thousands of men who
have tried
ThePerfaet TaSaceo for Pipe ard Cigarette
have found the answer to their smoke prob
lems. Tuxedo is the mildest tobacco made.
It cannot bite the tongue or dry the throat.
And it’s economical. There arc 40 pipe
fuls in a ten-cent tin. You can’t get any
better tobacco because nothing better grows
than the mellow, perfectly aged Burley leaf
used in Tuxedo.
If you try Tuxedo for
a month and cut out other
smokes, you will not only
have had the best month
of smoking you have ever
had in your life, hut you
will have made a mighty
big saving in your pocket- -
money 1
