He Was Told That Sale of Liquor by Him Without Prescription Could Bt Unlimted so Long as Made to “Safe”IiMiividual8. Asheville, Nov. 29.—The prosecti- tion in the whiskey investigation be ing conducted here by Judge Frank Carter as a committing magistrate believe that some strong links were welded today in the chain of evidence against James L. Alexander, proprie tor of the Battery Park Hotel, charg ed with violations of the prohibition law. Isadore Grant, a negro, in whose name a federal liquor dealer’s license was held for the hotel, and who was held until yesterday under heavy bond as defendant, was placed on the stand today and forced to tell ail he knew of the traffic that has been carried on in the hotel. His an swers were frank and his testimony considered important. Grant swore that Pete Sevier, who admitted, yesterday that he had con ducted a saloon in the hotel* secured the license and employed him to help in business, promoting him from the positioh of bellboy. He corroborated the evidence of Sevier about guests and townspeople being served intoxi cants in all parts of the hotel, and gave additional interesting informa tion. He said that guests often sign- of intoxicants served in ths. fiining room or guest room, and that these checks were paid at the hotel office. Relative to Mr. Alexander’s inter est in the place, the witness stated that there were several conferences between the proprietor and Sevidr since the investigation started, ana the store of liquor was moved when the first steps in the investigation were made. While his testimony was being taken another raid was made on the hotel by the police and seven gallons of gin whiskey and beer seized which was stored in a i-oom on the second floor. Charles Nichols, a clei’k of he ho tel, was examined briefly and asked to give the names of people of the city seen around the hotel during the past year. Judge Carter stated that these men, including prominent citi zens, may be subpoenaed to testify as to what they knew of the traffic there. Further hearing of this case was then suspended and the cases taken up against J. H. Lange, Gay Gre5-i and J. Bayliss Rector, of the Langren Hotel, and Century Drug Stoi’e, 0. E. Franklin, former manager of the drug store, in whose name a license was held to sell whiskey on prescrip tion was the principal witness, Mr. Franklin stated that three-fourths of the liquor sold at the drug store was done illegally, about half of this to Lange and; Greenethe sFbeemMme6 hotel guests, these latter orders com ing from the clerks. He said that the license was primarily for a shield to sell liquor in the hotel, and that the sale of liquor by him without pre scription could be unlimted so long as made to “safe” individuals. He said he had trouble with them when he attempted to leave the store and take the license with him. He said the sales amounted to between 500 and 800 gallons a month. Judge Carter made a statement to day for the benefit of the defendants, nts, saying that the tables have been turned in this investigation, the little fellows being used to convict the big fellows instead of vice versa as has been the former custom. He said that whether the defendants are fin ally convicted or not the good people of the city will know from the pre- iiminary hearings just what has been going on in their midst. Best Menu Prize Goes to the Normal School Girls. To the students of the Georgia Nor mal ajid and Industrial college, do mestic science department, Milledge- ville, Jhas been awarded the ?10 prize offered by the Georgia chamber of commerce for the best menu that could be used at a Georgia Products day dinner. ^ Here is the menu that won the prize: Clear Soup Croutons Salted Pecans Celery Baked Trout v/ith Tartar Sauce Saratoga Chips Roast Turkey garnished with Parsley Oyster Stuffing Rice Candied Sweet Potatoes Creamed Asparagus (grown and canned in Georgia) Hot Roils Beaten Biscuit Crabapple .telly Peach Pickle Baked Pepper Stuffed with Minced Ham Rabun County Apple Salad on Lettuce Mayonaisse made by Cotton Seed Oil P’rozen Custard Small Angel Cake Iced of these two stoirms caused a blind ing snowstorm. The snowstorm and the freezing weather which accompa nied it, was responsible for the great loss of life on the Great Lakes. “I contend that if the owners and those persons who have shipping in-, terests on the Great Lakes had paid attention to the warnings fio'wn by the weather bureau, and had instructs ed the captains of their vessels that such was the case, these Vessels that would hav^ had a chance to put into port before the real blow began. But they did not do it . and the weather bureau is blamed. Yesterday rose bushes in Chelten Avenue, Germantown, burst intf bloom.

Second Summer Comes Here at Cost to South. “There has never been a ‘second summer in Philadelphia to equal the one we are now having since the ex istence of the Wejather Bureau” said Forecaster Bliss yesterday. Pointing to records of former years where snow was falling at this time, the forecaster sniffed at a bunch of roses which five hours be fore had been plucked from bushes-in Germantown. While trec5 are striving to brealc the record by putting forth shoots that 'vvill eventually turn to leaves-if a frost does not stop them, Mr. Bliss in his dingy office on the top floor of the Post Office Building explained the whys and wherefore.? of the abnormal weather Philadelphians are now ex periencing. “Be it known,” said the forecaster, “that a certan strata of warm air which has come from the Southern States is now upon us. We are now basking' in the air of North Carolina, while the North Carolinians are ex- perencing freezing weather. We are now experiencing a temperature fif teen degrees above normal for this time of the year. “The Southern States are experi encing a temperature below normal, which is equal to a freezing temper ature. “When something' disturbs the nor mal curre nt of air it goes some where else and the warm current of the air above settles down into its place. That is what has happened in this instance. “I have no faith in these goosebone prophets. Why should we go to the animals to see what the weather for the year will be when we have a weather bureau? For instance, some folks turn to the beaver and the muskrat for their signs. Nothing to it. The muskrat and the beaver are governed by conditions. The building of a dam by a beaver or any other amphibious aliimal is governed by the railfall during that mnoth in which that certain animal builds its dams. For instance, a beavor builds its dam in November. It is ?, strong dam built witlj lots of sticks and mud. The weather sharps get together and predict a hard winter because the ani mal is building his dan r;o strongly. There is absolutely n'Jthing to tliis. The beaver and othei’ e. nrnals build their dams according- to three rain falls of that month. If 'heye is a light rainfall they cansiot i’-at their logs down stream. If it h heavy it is the other way abou';. I know for a certainty that the weathsr bureau can. predict the -weath- forty-eight the animals weather bu- Crosses Continent Twice in Same Car. An interesting light was shed on the road conditohs in the far west by a party of visiting tourists at the Stevens-Duryea works last week. In their tour from San Diego, Cal., to Chicago they traversed part of the proposed route as suggested by the National Highways Associaton, of which Charles Henry Davis of Massa- chusettes is president. They found that merchants as well as motorists were givng its early completion serious consideration, ' Of the party both David Gampbell, of San Diego, and George Sturgess^ of CoTpmdo, of the car in which they made the trip, gave ex pression to the sta.tement that if the east would show one-half of the in terest that the westerners are show ing in this projcKrt its completion would be a matter of only a few years. From, San Diego to Chicago they found the roads in good conditon in deed, covering the remarkable mile- age of 2649 miles in 12 consecutive days. The greatest mileage in any one day was 347 miles, this being near Chicago, where the motorists found exceptionally good : ?ads. Mr. Sturgess pur. based his car of the Stevens-Puryea dealer in San Diego two years ago, and this is the second trip across the country in the same car, which offers evidence that there is an interesting phase of mo toring other than the boulevard tour ing of the eastern section. There is probably no better evidence of the stability of the . modern motor-car than these long tours offer, and the remarkable performance of Mr. Stur- gess' car reflects credit on its man ufacturers. - Scranton, Pa., Nov. 30.—Acting on complaints front mothers, the police today raided a room in Hickory Street conducted by Abe Patcher, it is charg ed, and found seventeen boys, frotn sixteen to twenty-one years old, play ing poker and shooting “craps." All were locked up. Patcher was fined $25 and the boys ?5 each. 8. vnrati »trekt oa. for tile :)rxv ::t 48 hours ”3 the fore- j:iding of vj-ie e School Board May Tie on Vote for President.

The storm as you know was at its height last Sunday. On Friday the Weither Bureau put out storm warnings along the Great Lakes. Thes torm increased in ve locity on Saturday but no attention was paid to th© warnings. “On Saturday a storm which had been moving up along the coast from the Southern States shot across the country and joined the storm raging over the Great Lakas.
