HEAVY SENTENCES
GIVEN ALLEGED
PROHI
SEVERAL CASES DISPOSED
IN CITY COURT AT YESTER¬
DAY S SESSION
A sealed verdict was returned
the city court yesterday morning
the case of the State vs. H. F.
charged with violating the prohibi¬
tion law, the case having been taken
up Monday afternoon and consumed
the remainder of the day.
The verdict was read by Clerk Har¬
ry duBignon in which the defendant
was found guilty. Judge Butts im¬
posed one of the most severe sen¬
tences he lhas yet assessed against a
defendant on a similar charge.
stated from the bench that he was
determined to put an end to the il¬
legal traffic in intoxicating liquors in
Glynn county and that the accused,
when convicted, need expect no mer¬
cy from him. Owens was sentenced
to serve twelve months on the chain
gang and to pay a fine of $750.00.
The sentence was modified by the
court, however, the sentence being
suspended on the payment of $300.00
within the next five days, the chain
gang sentence to be enforced upon
the non-payment of the fine. The
defendant is to serve the chaingang
sentence in the event he violates the
order of the court. He is also en¬
joined to go to work immediately.
Similar action was taken by Judge
Butts in the case of Major Laidler,
white, who entered a plea of guilty
to violating the prohibition law. The
.case of the State against Frank
Thomas, charged with violating tfhe
prohibition law was nolle prossed by
Solicitor Scarlett, as was the case
against I. H. Maynard, charged with
the abandonment of his children. Sim¬
ilar action was taken in the case of
Amos Atkinson, on a prohibition vio¬
lation charge.
A rule nisi was taken on the bond,
of Spencer Henderson, charged with
violating the prohibition law, and in
the case of Tom Lloyd, who was ac¬
cused of being drunk on the public
highway.
A mistrial was declared by the jury
in the case of the State vs. Willie
Jones, young white man, charged
with the larceny of chickens. The
case was stubbornly contested by op¬
posing counsel. This was the last
case to be tried during the day, the
jury being excused until 9:30 o’clock
this morning, when the civil docket
will be taken up.

Y. W. C. A. BOARD
DIRECTORS MEET
MONTHLY
REPORT OF THE GENERAL
RETARY SHOWS MANY
ACTIVITIES RECENTLY
The regular monthly
meeting of the board of directors
the Brunswick Y. W. C. A. was
last evening at the “Y”
on Gloucester street, with
directors present. Mrs. C. E.
was’ unanimously elected
of the board.
A resolution from the Young
Club was read, asking that a
ber of the Y. W. C. A. board he
ed to serve on public service
tee and Mrs. S. L. Higlh was
in this capacity.
The board voted to send a wire
the meeting of the Georgians, Incor¬
porated, being held in Macon, assur¬
ing them of their co-operation
support.
It was voted at this meeting
send a letter to the city
ers, asking them to abolish the
stricted districts in Brunswick.
The report of the general secre¬
tary was as follows:
The regular program of the asso¬
ciation has moved along smoothly ex¬
cept during Chautauqua week,
all meetings of the Girl Reserves
were called off, to allow them to at¬
tend. Tne High School group had a
stand near the tent and sold ice
cream and candy before and after the
program, realizing quite a neat sum.
This group besides holding their reg¬
ular meetings, had a very interesting
“kid party.’’ The seventh and eighth
grade girls, sold tickets for Chautau¬
qua and also held their regular meet¬
ings ar.d entertained each othe v with
a party. T oeal business girls use ■ be
hall at tec r.oon hour, having then
lunc’i ano resting. The B isntss snd
Profess:at a’ Woman's C eh had a
roost (i • . able luncheon cu ’l e sec¬
ond Tuesday evening, after which a
business meeting was held and plans
discussed for future work. These
ludheons are proving most pleasant.
For the May meeting, each member
is asked to bring a guest. A most
interesting devotional will be con¬
ducted by Mrs. C. E. Johnson with
several others taking part. After
the luncheon music and other enter¬
tainment will follow.
Meetings held in the hall during
the past month were: Board of direc¬
tors of Y. W. C. A.; Methodist Phila
thea class; City Baraca-Philathea
i Union, Woman’s Club; League of
! Women Voters; Wo hum's Christian
! Temperance Union; Chautauqua com
mittees; Symphony Orchestra; week¬
ly meetings of Young Men’s Club;
Girl Reserves; Business and Profes¬
sional Woman’s Club.
During chautauqua the hall was
; jj C p^ open until seven-thirty and was
extensively used by people resting
and having lunch between afternoon
and evening programs. Out of town
people from St. Simon, Darien and
other sections of the country and
large numbers of city people have
visited the “Y.” Tourists from Mas¬
sachusetts, Milwaukee, New York,
New Jersey, and North Carolina call¬
ed and were delighted to have such
a pleasant place to refresh them¬
selves.
We 'had two appeals.for work, one
from an aged woman, for whom we
secured a place. We furnished in¬
formation for two inquiries for
rooms.
A splendid spirit of co-operation
between all organizations and the
“Y" seems quite evident, for which
the Young Woman’s Christian Asso¬
ciation should be encouraged to ful¬
fill the purpose of the organization
associating young women in personal
loyalty to Jpsus Christ as Saviour and
Lord; to promote growth in Christian
character and ’service, through phy
sical, social, mental and spiritual
training; and to become a social force
for the extension of the Kingdom of
God.

1 PUBLIC SCHOOLS
IN CHATHAM TO
CLOSE JUNE 8TH
REASON FOR ACTION SAID TO
BE LACK OF FUNDS TO
CARRY ON WORK
Savannah, May 8.—The public
schools of Chatham county will close
Friday, June 8.
This was decided at a special meet¬
ing of the Board of Education held
today. The meeting was attended by
every member of the board except
G. Arthur Gordon, who is out of the
city.
The determination to close the
schools two weeks earlier than the
schedule calls for was unanimous and
the reason for this action was the
lack of funds to carry on the work
to the end of the term.
Under the plan the graduation ex¬
ercises of the High School will take
place on the night of June 7 instead
of the night of June 21, as planned.
Arrangements have already been
made for securing the Municipal Aud- *
itorium for this date.
The closing exercises of the gram¬
mar schools and the Junior High
Schools will likewise he moved up to
accommodate their closings to the
new schedule.
The determination to close the j
I schools June 8th was caused by a lack
of finances. Failure of the people to
vote an increase in the income of the
Board of Education made it impera- i
ftive that there be some action of a i
drastic nature taken. It is estimated j
that there will be a saving of $18,000
the in the budget adopted. for this year through j
means
A1I Lose Pay
Everyone on the payroll of the j
Board of Education will have their
pay cut two weeks. This applies to I
every grade of employe from superin¬
tendent to janitors. There are some i
attaches of the schools who are install-1 paid ;
their salary in twelve monthly
ments. They will receive but a half |
month's salary for June. If at some j
future time the board should find it- 1
self in funds it will be very glad to
reimburse the teachers for the sums
it is now necessary to deprive them
of.
TRANSPORTATION PROBLEM

convention of the Chamber of Com¬
merce of the United States opening
today was devoted to the presenta¬
tion of facts concernnig domestic and
international problems by which, in
the belief of business m.en, the gov¬
ernment should be guided.
Foreign relations and American
transportation questions are two
outstanding problems which loom
as important issues for the next
presidential campaign Julius H.
Barnes, president of the organiza¬
tion, said in th e outline of the pur-j
poees of tha convention.
