Mayor Gamble Admits Impotency
CHURCH PEOPLE PUT CITY
EXECUTIVE ON SPOT WITH
QUESTIONNAIRE ON LIQUOR
Mayor Gamble has admitted to a militant Sunday school
delegation that he cannot stop the sale of liquor in Savannah,
according to news which leaked out of the City Hall today.
A committee of Grace Methodist Church members, headed
by P. A. Moise, teacher of the senior Sunday school department,
called upon the Mayor last Friday, it was learned today, and
came away without satisfaction.
The delegation came from the
church of the outspoke* Rev. John
S. Sharp, who bitterly atacked the
Mayor in a recent sermon for permit
ting the sale of liquor in the city of
dry Georgia.
“Why is liquor sold in Savannah,
a city of a dry state? Can’t you do
sometihng to eliminate it?” the dele
gation is reported to have demanded
of the Mayor.
And the Mayor is reported to have
replied: “The majority of the people
want liquor. I can do nothing about
the situation. We are doing every
thing possible.”
Mayor Gamble was reported to
have denied knowledge that liquor
was . being openly displayed in Sa
vannah stores when confronted with
that information by the Sunday
school delegation. “I’ll see about
that,’’ the Mayor is quoted as saying.
Again, the Mayor denied slot ma
chines and punch boards were being
operated within the city, when the
Sunday school group gave him that
information. “I’ll look into that,
too,” he is quoted as saying.
"Our youth,” Sunday School Teach
er Moise told Mayor Gamble is being

the necessity of continuing compul
sory military training in United

and its policies must be protected,
the congressman maintained, and the
only way to insure protection and to
demand the respect of other nations
is to be prepared. “We do not want
to trespass on the rights of others,”

enticed by liquor displays when they
enter Savannah stores to make other
purchases. It is up to you, as our
Mayor, to see that such undue temp
tation is not laid in their paths. The
duty is yours, just as much as it is
that of the preachers and deacons.”
“But,” Mayor Gamble is quoted,
“it is much better now than when
Georgia was actually dry, and there
were bootleggers in the city.”
“Yes,” insisted the Sunday school
teacher, “But isn’t it just as unlaw
ful for stores to sell liquor now as
it was during the bootleg era?”
The Mayor did not reply.
“Doesn’t liquor account for a large
percentage of the automobile acci
dents in and around Savannah?” the
Sunday school spokesman’s inquisi
tion continued.
“No,” denied the Mayor. “They are
due to recklessness.”
The Sunday school committee is
today awaiting results of the Mayor’s
promised check-up on liquor displays
and gambling devices in city stores.
Other members of the delegation
besides Mr. Moise were W. A. Owens,
Jr., Robert Jackson and Wilmot
Adams.

JAIL COOK MAY
GET OLD JOB IN
COUNTY BASTILE
JEROME WASHINGTON IS
RECAPTURED AFTER A
3-YEAR ABSENCE
Jerome Washington, negro, who
was lodged in jail several days ago
by police for investigation, was rec
ognized by Deputy Jailer W. H. Kid
well this morning as the county jail
cook who escaed from that bastile
on April 1, 1933.
Washington was arrested at Savan
nah in March, 1933, on charges of
burglary and later was sentenced to
serve 12 months in the Chatham
county jail. It developed that the
prisoner was at home in the kitchen
and he was made a cook. A weel
later Washington’s craving for the
odor of the wide open spaces out
weighed his desire for a post in the
weeks after he was missed word
freedom. An unbarred passageway
leads from the kitchen through the
jail office to the street. “It was an
April fool joke on me,” said Jailer
Kidwell this morning. The cook Re
camped on April 1. ’• i
But it seemed Washington was not
destined to remain long at large. Two
weks after he was missed word
reached Savannan the man had been
arrested by authorities at Beaufort
S. C„ on a burglary charge. Wash
ington served three years in the Pal
metto state penitentiary for this of
f ense.
Mr. Kidwell said Washington greet
ed him wi. • a grin when the jail of
ficer dropp 1 into the police station
house this morning to see if the man
held was the long-missing cook. “He
wanted his old job back again,” said
the jailer. He may get it.
