THE CASE WAS SUBMITTED Charlotte C lub, mm! Clibara Are Greatly Wixtujhl I'p Over Develop. ?ettt-VoMg Mm Who Carried Hlii Child Awaj From Jurisdiction of Court Returns and is Fined. Charlotte, N. C? June 8. ? Conster nation has been created among the doien or aa re cluba of the city, alt of which were Indicted by the grand Jury in February for violation of the prohibition law, when Judge George P. Pell, recently appointed to the bench, Imposed a fine of four hundred dollars on the Buslnsaa Men's Club today, following a submission to the charge by the club through Mr. Plummer Stewart, bis attorney. 1 It had been predicted that theee cases would never amount to much by not a few cltlsena here, while oth ers were inclined to await develop ments. Today's stand taken by the court consequently has stirred up the other clubs indicted and the opera tion of the locker system will be guarded with exceedingly careful watchfulness In order to avoid any infractions of the law. Aa the club fined today will hardly be able to raise one-half the amount of the fine, as a corporation. It being such, the situation Is.a peculiar. one. and prom ises Interesting developments. The court ordered Immediate Issuance of execution for the collection of the money, and how this fine will be paid is the question that the public is speculating upon.
