C, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY All GEORGIA IS DRY Dvery Saloon in the State Was Closed On January 1 THE NEW LAW WILL BE OBEYED Georgia Enters Prohiition Column When January 1st Rings Its Bell on Sale of Intoxicating Liquors Law Very Drastic in Its Prohibi tion and Prevents Keeping or Giv ing Away of Liquors. Atlanta, Ga., Special With the advent of the new year the law pre venting the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquor passed by the last session of the Legislature be comes effective, making Georgia the first of the Southern States to be placed in the prohibition column. The law is very drastic in its prohi bition and prevents the keeping or giving away of liquors in public places and imposes a tax of $500 on clubs whose members are allowed to keep drinks of an intoxicating na ture in their individual lockers. To Test Legislation. Notwithstanding the passage of this law there is some agitation to have it declared unconstitutional, and it is known that a prominent firm of lawyers has been asked to test the merits of the legislation. This action may be brought in the United States courts in the course of the nexL month, and it is asserted will be based on the fact that the constitu tion of Georgia specifically provides that all revenue, from liquor license shall be used for the school fund. This matter has been under consid eration for some two months and has been in the hands of the best con stitutional lawyers in Georgia. Sev eral million dollars are involved in a property loss in the State by the operation of the prohibition law. It is estimated that Atlanta alone would lose in license taxes $135,612 and that the property value of saloons and breweries here which will go out of business on January 1st is from $1,000,000 to $1,500,000. For the rest of the State the property values involved are about $5,000,000. It is estimated here that 10,000 persons are effected in the way of employ ment in the State and that Atlanta alone has some 1,500 persons who will lose their work when January rings its bell on the sale of intoxi eating liquors. Law Will Be Enforced. That the prohibition lav will be enforced there is. no question. This is not the country of the speak-easy, and when the police have their law they enforce them to the limit. Governor Smith and the city court officials have been frank in their statements that they intend to en force the law and that no fines would be imposed for the illegal sale of liquor, but that prison sentences would follow the violation of any part of the prohibition act. One pe culiar feature of the law is that even the incorporated clubs are allowed to provide intoxicating drinks for their members, either with or without food. A man may have a locker in a club and keep whatever he pleases in this locker, )t a club having such lockers is subject to an excise tax of $500 a year. Another feature of the law is that a man may not even in his club invite a friend to join him in a drink. The only way he can evade this is by leaving his locker open that an acquaintance may have access. Several of the clubs in Georgia have taken out their excise tax license and are pro viding lockers in their rooms, but many of the more prominent have declared that they will go one bet ter than the law and prohibit the keeping of liquor within their doors. Tax Hate May Increase. T:-p . onti'utional law of Georgi in its provision for school mainten ance is very specific, according to one Atlanta lawyer. The question now arises where the funds for the main tenance of the public schools will come from, and it. is said that a con siderate increase in the tax rate may result. Miss Kilmer's Body Found on Bank of Creek. Michigan City, Ind.,. Special. The body of Miss Emogene Kinner, of Penn Yan, N. Y., who disappeared from Michigan City on Decembei 11th was found on the bank of a creek in a wild and unfrequented place. She had taught school at Yonkers and at Nyack, N. Y. Over study had caused nervous prostration and she came here a month ago to recuperate her health. It is supposed that she lost her Avay while out for a walk and perished of cold. Killed Over Mess of Chops. New Orleans, Special. Edgar Pra dos was shot and killed by his brother, Milton, after a quarrel, over a mess of chop:? which the mother of the young men w-as frying foi Milton. Edgar threw the chops through the window. -Later Miltou shot him, claiming self-defense.

New York, Soeeial. Under r.nll nP the State banking department for re ports of the condition on December 19th, 21 trust companies and 29 State banks of Greater New York have fil ed their formal statements. While the effects of the recent storm are plainly evident, especially in regard to those few institutions against whom the attaek seemed most direct, the statements as a whole bear testi mony of the quiek recovery gener ally made and the unwavering confi dence of the great body of deposi tors. The reports" also show that cei- tain of the State banks of New York City did their share toward relieving the financial situation in other eities. They accomplished this by accepting from the local-national banks a large quantity of clearing house certificates leaving the national banks in posi tion to employ their cash in relief of customers and correspondents in he interior. Enormous Deposits. Tiie 20 State banks of New York, Brooklyn and the other boroughs of Greater New York, which have so far reported, show aggregate deposits of $22o,0Q0,000. Of this enormous sum the net los3 in withdrawals since August 23d last, amounted to only $3,056,117. The losses were distributed among 18 of the banks with total withdrawals of $13,925,761, while 11 banks show ed an aggregate gain of $10,869,644. Only one Stata bank took advant age of its membership in the clearing house assotiation to issue certificates which are now outstanding as a lia bility item of $520,000. Nine of the State banks hold clearing house certi ficates to the extent of $7,100,000. Loans and discounts show a decrease in the statements of 19 of the banks while the values of stocks, bonds, mortgages, etc., as an item of re sources aiso show a general shrink age. A majority of the banks show an increase of cash on hand. Tnt Companies Condition. The official, statements of the trust companies of Greater New York are perhaps fraught with the greatest in terest. These institutions were forc ed to bear the brunt of the finan cial storm, which broke with the suspension of the Knickerbosker Trust Company-. The 21 companies which have thus far reported show a falling off of deposits from $278,y56, 300 on August 22d last, to $19056, 500 on December 19fch. The loss of deposits was accompanied by tha calling in of loans, the reduction in the latter instance amounting to $78, 000,000. The market values of stocks, etc., show a decline of abouA $20,000,000. In specie the 21 trust companies show a loss of less than $2,000,000 while in legal tenders and .bank notes, hold as reserve they show an inerease of nearly $1,000,000. Capital Unimpaired. The report of the Trust Company of America, which withstood a run of many days, shows a net decline in cash rervc of less than 1 per cent, sinee August 1st. The capital of the Trust Company of America as jvith all the other companies submit ing reports, maintains unimpaired. This showing of the company is made despite the faet that during the run it paid out more than $50,000,000. Part of this came from the $20,000, 000 fund turned over to the institu tion by the committee of trust com panies which came to the relief of the Trust Company of America, when il was most" needed. Loans to di rectors which six months ago amount ed to $3,500,000, do not appear in the December statement, all direotors having paid up during the crisis. Prominent Tirginian Dead.
