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.

ternoon ami given their first pri$#n

? 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.

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. I !
think they're as had as he is." - Am-'

Miners liOHt in Kxploaion.
.Johnson City, Illinois, January 26:
The number of dead in the explosion
at Kaqjt mine of the Crerar Clinch*
field Coal Company yesterday is 32,
it was announced late today after a
thorough inspection of the colliery.
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.
Following the fire at Lyndonville,
Vt., last Monday night, which cost
seven lives and $500,<500 property loss,
Albejt Stern, in whose store the fire
started, on Saturday committed sui
cide. Stern was in his store ton
minutes before the big fire started.
