HOOTLKCS G1VKN OVATiOft. Hide From Cincinnati T<i Atlanta in Private Car. Atlanta, Jail. 25.? Marble walls of the Atlanta federal penitentiary to day housed George Remus, eonvieted bootleg king of the Middle West, and 11 of his associates. . Royalty was recognized by fellow prisoners for when Remus entered the prison this afternoon, coming direct hero from Cincinnati, on board a pri vate ear, he was given an ovation to the full extent of prison rules and reg ulations, the silent waving of arms through grated windows. The Cincinnati millionaire started service of two year sentence for hav ing conspired to violate the Volstead act. He also must pay a fine of $10, 000 and at the termination of this sen tence will serve one year in a stata prison in Ohio. His associates, Harry Brown, John Gerhum, Charles Wissman and George Dater will serve 18 months and pay fines of $5,000 each; Clarence Bell, Ernest Brady, George Gillonback, and George King, 15 months' sentence and fines of $1(0Q0 each; Harry Garde wing and Harry Boyd, one year ami one day and pay fines of $1,000 each; Elmer Roth, 15 months' sentence and a fine of $000. Flashy diamonds, ultra-modern Clothes, walking sticks and spats of the bootleg gang gave way to the wool and cotton grey uniform of the peni tentiary. A smilo was on the face of each as the change was made. Across town from the penitentiary Mrs. Imogene Remus, wife of the boot-leg king, was a guest at a fashi onable hotel. Mrs. Remus accom panied her husband to Atlanta, and at the terminal station, with tears streaming down ber face., diamond pmdnnts hnngtnTT from hGi1 ears and a cluster of diamonds on her finger, left him. In her handbag were ?wo diamonds, the property of her hus band, given to her by him at the part ing. Tomorrow she will journey out to the penitentiary to see Remus, ascer tain visiting hour schedules and prob ably take her departure for Cincin nati. Part of the time, she indicated, she will reside in their mansion, said to- bo one of the show places of the Ohio city, and the remainder near her husband in Atlanta. Hcmus and his companions tonight ? ad not been assigned to jmy #pristm iulic.s nor had they heen given num ber?. -They were "mugged" this af ternoon ami given their first pri$#n hnth. ? There is no millionaire row in this penitentiary, prison officials declared, nor are the wealthy recogifized. He mus will bo given "enjoyable work,'' the officials added, probably as a chemist, he having^it is underatool been a laboratory , worker years ago. "I'm reconciled to my fate, but oh, how I miss my valet," declared the bootleg king as prison garments were given him in place of civilian clqthes. Tomorrow morning Remus will sweep out his own cell and make up his own bed. ? ?, Remus declared that this was his first protracted vacation, and while "I feel the. stigma of having lost my citizenship, I will be a good soldier and serve my time." He added that he was in hopes of securing executive clemency. The bootleg king and his compan ions are said to have operated on the most extensive scale ever known in the Middle West. Remus was said to have owned distilleries and on a raid on "Death Valley farm," owned by Dater, federal offices are said to have found the 'distributing point for bootleg whiskey in that section. Those who share prison terms \vit4i Remus were said to have been in his employ. Clem L. Herbes, a member of the same band and who started serving his term shortly after sentence was imposed, greeted Remus and his asso ciates when they arrived at the pris on. Having completed two-thirds of his term, he is.. said to be. in 'lino t'or parole. Remus was in a jovial mood throughout the day*fc ordeal. He was amazed at the marble corridors of the prison. "Not bad, eh?' he exclaimed to Dater on entering the building and officers said that the beautiful halls probably remindbd him of those in his Grecian bath said to have cost $100, 000 located in his mansion in an ex clusive section of Cincinnati. " Large Club House Burned. Laurens, Jan. 24. ? The Laurens Clinton Country clubhouse, with all its furniture and fixtures, was com pletely destroyed by fire this morning at 8 o'clock. The origin of the fire is not definitely known, but it is sup posed that the blaze started .in the kitchenette. The loss sustained is something like $15,000, with insurance of about $10,000. The country club was established jointly by citizens of Laurens and Clinton about three years ago. The clubhouse was one of the handsomest buildings of the kind in the Piedmont section and was well furnished. ? - ? I Killed By Live Wire. Lancaster, Jan. 24. ? L. F. Cook, a local truck driver, was instantly killed this afternoon when in going into his yard in the Lancaster mill village, he attempted to move a broken electric wire out of his way with his left hand. It was raining at the time and the ground was soaking wet and he re ceived the full force of the current. Mr. Cook was a native of North Caro lina, but had made his home in Lan caster for the past several years. He is survived by four children, two boys and two girls. A Rogues' Gallery. An elderly man of ultra-convivial habits, but withal learned and book ish, was haled before the bar of jus tice in a country town. "Ye're charged with bein' drunk and : disorderly," snapped the magistrate. | "Have ye anything to say why the i sentence should not be pronounced?" | "Man's inhumanity to man makes! countless thousands mourn," began ? the prisoner in a flight of oratory. ! "I am not so dehas^i as Poe, so profli- j gate as Byron, so ungrateful as Keats, 1 so intemperate as Burns, so timid as Tennyson, so vulgar as Shakespeare, so ? " "That'll do, that'll do," interrupte-i the magistrate, "Ninety days. And, officer, take down that list of names 1 he mentioned and round 'em up.

A proviops report that six men still were in the mine was found to be in* correct, In addition to the dead, eight injured still are in the hospital. Two of them are believed to be fa* tally hurt. With the death liaCdgfi* nitely ascertained, local interest in the disaster turned to the investigations, begun by a joint board of v Illinois mine officials, the coroner and repre sentatives of the company. Although no announcements were made after today's inquiries it was believed unof ficially the explosion resulted from spontaneous combustion of coal dust, followed by the deadly black damp.
