o ATLANTA LETTER o
o o
OOODOOOOOOOOOOOO
ATLANTA. Ga.. Dec. 18.?The At
lanta grand jury is again in the midst
of a sensational investigation of the
city's fashionable clubs, to determine
whether or not their sale of bever
ages to members violates the prohi
bition laws. The jury has found itself
handicapped by having nearly every
juryman a member of at least one
such club, and has got around this
disqualification question by using al
ternate jurymen.
A juryman who is a member of the
Capital City Club will retire white
that club is under consideration. He
will come back, however, to pass on
the Piedmont Driving Club or any
other of which he is not a member.
The court takes the ingenlus posi
tion that a member of ono club will
have no sympathy for another.
Jurymen whose relatives arc club
members are barred, and this brought
from one member a protest.
"How about you fellows whose
daughters attend every club dance?"
he asked. "That's as close as being kin
to a club, member."
It was expected that little will come
of the investigation, which has been
undertaken several times before.
ForreBt Adair, for many yoars po
tentate of the Yaarub Temple of Shrl
ners, has been re-elected for another
year, after a good natured race In
which he defeated Walter P. Andrews,
almost as popular in Atlanta as Mr.
Adair himself. Plans for sending a big
delegation to the Seattlo convention
next summer are being put under way.
The Shriners won a point in a) law
suit this week, when Judge H. L. Pat
terson of the Blue Ridge circuit, is
sued a temporary Injunction prohib
iting the negro order which calls It
self the "Ancient Egyptian Order jf
Nobles of the MyBtlc Shrine" from
using the word "Shrine" in its title.
Judge Patterson was called upon by
the local temple for tho reason that
every local judge is a shrlner and
therefore disqualified. Mr. Adair led
the movement to stop the African or
der from using tho Sbrlnero' name
and Insignia.
Seven bishops of the northern and
southern branches of the Methodist
church are in session this week at a
local hotel in an effort to reunite the
two branches, which separated over
the slavery question in 1844.
The movement is gaining interest in
Atlanta church circles particularly at
this time because the Egleston Memor
ial, a "Northern Methodist", church
long established, here,, is planning a
moro pretentious edifice near Druid
Hills, and it la believed that it the
Junction , of the two branches is put
through the new building will be, of
benefit to many' more members than
would otherwise be the case.

j. N. Doheny, an Atlanta Elk, Ib,suf
fering from a .ratber. severe-cold con
tracted by yelling .at 2 o'clock In the
morning in the chilly. 12 degree wea
ther. It happened because he slum
bered in a bath room in the new Elks
club until long after the building was
closed, and the servants disappeared. \
ii When Mr. Doherty. awoke he found
his way. to the. main floor and located
tho front door. To his delight It open
ed easily and when ho clsed.it behind
him it locked. Then to his dismay he
found that a handsome steel grilled
door still barred ids path to the side
Walk, ?le na? thon between two doors,
both of which .were firmly locked, and
with the morning wind whistling past
Doherty yelled until he awoke tho
neighbors, who called the police. The
cops broko off the lock with their
clubs and Doherty hurried .to the ho
tel where the steam radiators were,
in full blast.
Anothor, and perhaps tho final, ef
fort to save tho life of Leo M. Frank
was made by bis attorneys yesterday
afternoon before Judge W. T. Newman
of the United States district court.
Judge Newman has the mattter under
advisement and an early decision is
expected.
The lawyers filed a petition for a
writ of habeas corpus, which was bas
ed on the ground that when Frank
was absent from the courtroom as the
verdict was read his constitutional
rights were violated,, and when this
was done the state courts lost Juris
diction in. the .case.
In the event Judgo Newman issues
such an order the State will have Its
first opportunity or reason for an ap
peal. It can appeal from Judge New
man to the United States ~ supreme
court. Should he deny tbe writ, Frank
can appeal, so it now appears that
the condemned man has many months
of life before him no. matter which
turn the case may take.
. Should Judge Newman grant the
writ, and should he be sustained by
the. high tribunal,. Prank would be
discharged from custody, a tree man.
. His iawyert* are making this move
in the hope of getting the case before
the United States supreme court on
its merits.
Atlanta will have two big Sunday
motion picture shows all next Sunday
afternoon and evening, though no ad
mission fee can be charged. Voluntary
contributions .will be taken for the
Atlanta poor.

Georgians have learned with inter
est of the memorial services held In
the United States Senate this week to
honor the late Senator Augustus. O.
Bacon, who died last year after long
service in the upper house.
Senator Hoke Smith delivered an.
eloquent eulogy upon the former sen
ior stumor from ueorgia, awemng up
on his devotion and his ability.
"To say that, by his death the senate
lost one of its ablest and most ex
perienced members feebly expresses
the truth/' said, Senator Smith. "He
came, to the senate splendidly equip
ped for his work. .He gave to the du
ties of the senate sd) of bis ability and
all of bis life. Service as a senator was I
tbe though and Joy of his life. He
brought to tho service c devotion
rarely equalled and never excelled."
Senator Thomas W. Hardrvlck Join
ed his Georgia colleagues in eulo
gizing upon tho former statesman, and
neven other senators from as many
states paid glowing tributes to Senat
or Bacon'B memory.
The Atlanta police force, which has
bad its hands full with burglaries and
hold-ups recently, has been increased
by twenty-threo men for the Christ
mas holidays, when street traffls is
heaviest and when pickpockets and
burglars aro busiest.
A strong effort is being made to find
funds for a permanent increase of the
police force. Atlanta covers an unusu
ally wide territory even for her large
population, and it is impossible for tho
present force adequately to cover it.
It in a common remark for a citizen
to make that: "I haven't seen a police
man In my home street in years. My
children don't know what a policeman
rooks like."
EXCHANGE CHALLENGES
TO PERSONAL COMBAT
(CONTINUED FROM PAQE ONE.)
cism "unjustified and unwarranted."
Representative Ragsdale, of South
Carolina, said that 'when tho gentlo
men charged that there is railroad In
fluence enough on tho Democratic
Bide of the house to defeat this legis
lation, I don't believe it and I repud
iate it."
"Well, tho gentleman has his opin
ion," replied Representative Moon.
"If tho hit dog yelps, let him yelp."
representative Webb, of North
Carolina, eald he "was not influenced
by railroads, but by my own col
leagues who I think are high minded,
honest and conscientious men."
Representative Moon . concluded
with the statement that the Demo
crats who had voted against the rulo
had done so because of "profound ig
norance."
Republican Leader Mann, who had
led the fight against the original rulo,
later renewed the controversy.
"The charge has been made on this
floor," he said, "that the influence of
railroad interests hsB been felt in this
house. I believe it is tho duty of tho
house. If the chargo is not true, to
repudiate the charge and condemn the
man who mado it. If it is true, then
the house owes It to itself to investi
gate the charges and puniBh those
men whose votes have been changed
by railroad Influence."
A little later Representative Moon,
in a brief speech, disclaimed ?ny In
tention to "reflect on the honor or in
tegrity of any member of the houBn."
He said that his speech was made "In
the heat of delate" and "may have
been a little rough." Ho offered to
withdraw any "offensive languago" ho
might havo used.
EMPLOYEES WILL GO
TO ANNUAL BANQUET
TO BE GIVEN IN CHARLOTTE
BY THE DUKE INTER
ESTS.
NEW PROGRAM;
Understood There Will Be No
Speech Making This Year.
Motion Picture*.
Local employees of tho Southern
Public Utilitl.it Company and the
Piedmont & Northern Railway are
looking forward with anticipation of
much pleasure to the annual banquet
which employes of the Duke Interests
will enjoy in Charlotte next Saturday
night
.It has been the custom heretofore
for the employes of the - Southern
Public Utilities company to be ban
queted in one city, those of tbe Soutn
orn Power Company in another and
those of the Piedmont & Northern
Linea in a third city, Last year* ban
quota were held in Greenville, Char
lotte and Win s ton-Sal om. This year,
however, the three bouquets will he
combined and held in Charlotte and at
tho same place.
The great gathering will be held In
the auditorium at Charlotte next Sat
urday evening, and hundreds of em
ployes of these three big companies
will be present Plans for the function
have not been announced as yet, out
It is probable that there will he sev
eral changes *tn-the plan which was
followed last year and In years before.
It is understood that the banquet
at Charlotte will be devoid of speech
making. Instead of the usual after
dinner addresses by officials of the
company and others, it is reported
motion pictures will be shown as the
banquet is in progress. Just what
ihcee pictures will illustrate., is not
definitely known, but It is understood
that they will bo along lines of parti
cular interest to the employes of tbe
company.
These banqueta do much to . foster
closer relations between employers
and.employees and give the employees
of one branch of the big company an
opportunity 'of meeting, and knowing
the fltnnloyeea of another branch. The
banquets are usually attended by all
employees of tho company, except
those who cannot for obvious reasons
leaye their posts of duty that-night.
I While no announcement ' along this
?line have been made, it la probable
I that special tra?na will be run on the
(interurbain lines for the purpose of
( conveying the employes to Charlotte
Cur i cue bouquet an ? carrying imriu
