Worked I |i Recently Obtained Evi

A moil k the Possibilities of tbe
A ear Future.
There are various sign? of unrest on
the part of the officers of the govern
ment connected in one way or another
with the prosecution of th* chargee of
conspiracy against Carter, Greene, the
Gaynor? and Connolly. Some of these
have turn* 1 1 up.
Yesterday morning District Attorney
Marion Erwin reached the city from
Washington, where he has been for the
last week, and simultaneously, or almost
so, with his arrival came Messrs. Ed
ward I. Johnson and Edward I\ Moxey.
These gentlemen are said to bo the secret
service agents who have recently been
working up evidence against the alleged
conspirators, and that they are here on
business connected with the case there
is no doubt
Mr. Johnson will be remembered ns the
department of justice clerk who was In
charge of the records of that department,
connected with the case, that were in
troduced in evidence against the defend
ants before the grand Jury. It will be
remembered also that but a day or two
ngo these records were returned to the
clerk of the court here, among others in
the case, and are now safe under lock
and key and behind the iron doors of the
vault in the government building.
Just what branch of the case calls
Messrs. Johnson and Moxey here at this
time passes conjecture. That they a r e
rot particularly anxious that they should
be known to he* In the city, is evident
from their movements and their indis
position to talk on any other than the
most casual and indifferent topic*!. On
the register of the De Soto, where th**
two secret service agents are stopping.
Mr. Johnson hails from New Orleans,
and Mr. Moxley from Philadelphia. In
Mr. Johnson's case the clerk may have
made the mistake when he registered the
name and address.
The return of the records and District
Attorney Erwin and the coming of Messrs.
Johnson and Moxey hove started the story
that a second indictment against the de
fendants in the conspiracy case is among
the potentialities of the future. Should
the district attorney decide to take this
course, everything nnd everybody needed
for the purpose ore closely at hand, or
could be readily secured.
The grand jury of the United States
Court is again in session and this time
it has not been drawn from remote coun
ties of the district. This is one of the
objections relied upon by the defendants
to invalidate the indictment found by the
last grand jury, that, namely, it was
drawn from the interior counties of the
state. It is understood that this course
is specifically authorized by the federal
statutes, being equivalent to a change of
venue in the state courts. Whenever
there is unusual interest aroused in any
case or when the people of
a community have become vio
lent partisans of one side or the
other, the judge is authorized expressly
to draw the juries from counties remote
from the scene of the alleged commission
of the crime and of the alleged criminals
prospective trial.
Nevertheless this objection may be over
come readily enough, without even the
trouble of a contest, by the find of a sec
ond indictment by the grand jury now in
session here. The records that were
brought to the attention of the last grand
Jury are in the possession cf th° court
officials, many of the witnesses are here
in the city at the present time, Mr. John
son has just arrived, and the only addi
tional witnesses who would be required
are representatives of the war department
from which many of the records and ex
hibits in the case emanate, and of the
New York sub-treasury, by checks on
wh>h most of the sums alleged to have
been obtained fraudulently by the conspir
ators were nßid. At the investigation of
the case by the grand jury the war. de
partment was represented by Mr. John
McCarthy nnd the sub-treasury by Mr.
Francis Kane.
Those who hold to the story that a sec
ond indictment is contemplated reason
that with it in his possession, the dis
trict attorney might proceed, differently
and very probably, with better success in
having the defendants brought to Savan
nah for trial. Itflfs well known now that
the fault for th<P delay lies not at the
door of Mr. Erwin, who has been active
and vigilant in hc matter, but Is im
puted to Commissioner Shields, Judge
Brown and the United States District
Attorney for the Southern District of New
York, or one of his assistants. All of
these have, contributed in one way or an
other to delay. It might very possibly be
that the district attorney would glean
from his experience in (he matter, infor
mation of value, and take the institution
end conduct of the proceedings for the
removal of the defendants under his own
personal charge.
That being the case it is likely that
when the warrant of removal is sought
on the second indictment, should one be

DON’T
ARQUE
WITH A
LA/TE BACK.
James A. Shay, of the New York “Clipper,” writes as follows:
“I cannot find language to express what I think of Warner’s Safe Cure. For
some years I suffered with kidney trouble and lam** back, and could not attend
to business, and at times I could hardly walk. I consulted the best doctors I
could he ir of. and spent hundreds of dollars purchasing medicines to relieve me,
but could obtain no relief, and one year ago I began to take Warner’s Safe Cure.
I used it faithfully for three months, and improved greaffy, an,d to-day consider
myself among those who are strong and healthy. I regard Warner*? Safe Cure
as the on* 1 thing in this world needful to those suffering from kidney trouble.”
found, th* application will be made either
to tha circuit judge of the United States
for (he circuit in which New York is lo
cated or to the Supreme Court justice
assigned to that circuit. It is believed
that in either event little time would be
lost in sanctioning the warrant of re
moval.
That the district attorney has in con
templation on effort lo secure a second in
dictment againat the consp rators is. of
course, a matter of pure speculation, bu 4 it
is forced into the mind? of many persons
who have followed the case closely by the
occurrence of recent events.
Nearly two months have elapse 1 sin~e
the application for a warrant of removal
was first made to Judge Brown and there
is no presen indication that he intends (o
render o decision. It is understood that
lately there have been a number of bank
ruptcies in New York that have demand
ed ait< tttion ;, t h> s hands and that amid
the trying scenes engendered of this bus
iness of his court, he has not had time to
pass upon an application for a warrant of
removal of defendants who are charged
with swindling the government out of
sums of money amounting in (he aggre
gate to millions of dollars, based upon an
indictment that changes them with fraud
ulently conspiring together to swindle (he
government out of half ami lion. Upon
most of the offense* charged against the
defendants (he statute of limitations has
already laid a protecting hand, and on
July 1 it?- protection will extend over thos*
offenses alleged in the indictment.
Whatever the plans of the district at
torney may be, it is evidently’ to the most
casual observer that the conspiracy case
is in a condition of unstable equilibrium
and that the present status quo is destin
ed very soon, in some way, to be rudely
disturbed. There are signs and wonders
everywhere, and if the untaught are not
able to unravel their my’steries they
know, at least, that there is a solution
and that ere long it will be announced.
The present state of quiescence is not go
ing to be much longer.

Two Rivals for Customer* In St.
.Inl inn Street in a Setto.
The police had on unusually quieC day
yesterday, only four prisoners being taken
in up to midnight.
Henry Robinson, colored, was wanted
for escaping from the barracks last Sat
urday. so when he was spotted on the
street by Officer Arnold, he was taken in
charge and sent in for (he second time.

“greatest value in town for the money.”
aitempted to steer the men to the estab
lishment that he represents. This Lane
resented, and as, according to his state
ment. Fields persisted In following him
for purpose of taking away his pros
pective customers, he started in to thrash
him.
Fields, on the other hand, claims that
the conditions that led to the affray were
exactly the reverse of the statement of
Lane, except that he is more modest as
to the number of men under his convoy,
estimating the number at six. Lane, he
says, interfered with him, and he resent
ing it, the fight ensued.
Whatever the merits of the case that
led up to the fight. Fields gcfl decidedly
the worst of it, re living a cut over the
left eye that may interfere with his sight

the barracks .f*er being arrested their

of their bonds, and as soon as the men
reached the police headquarters their
principals were there add secured (heir

Both men have been up before the Re

last week his honor warned them that
if they were brought before him again
for the same offense he would make it

limit its liability for the destruction of
the cargo of the Lawrence by yielding up
its own share in the vessel and all claim
that it has for freight charges. It has

His Father Wants 111 in Removed
From the Cmi tody of Sheriff.
Samuel G. Fuller swore out a writ of
habeas corpus *n the Superior Court yes
terday directed to Sheriff Sweeny, which
was sanctioned by Judge Falllgant. It re
quires the sheriff to produce before the
Judge the body of Walter Fuller, on the
morning of April 7, so that the legality
of Fuller's detention by the sheriff may
he inquired into.
The plaintiff in the habeas corpus pro
ceeding is the father of Walter Fuller,
who. it is recited, is 19 years old and of
weak and immature mind. The boy was
once struck on the head with a rock and
a portion of the scalp and brains had to
be removed. He has never since, so it is
alleged, b en ih possession of his full fac
ulties.
It is said further that the boy was in
dicted by’ the grand jury on March 26,
for the offense of burglary and on the suc
< eeding day, before his father had had an
opportunity to take legal steps to secure
♦iis custody, had been induced to enter a
plea of guilty to the indictments, though
he was not. in low guilty of the offenses
charged, and sentenced to a term in jail.
The plaintiff is represented by Messrs.

AT THE THEATER.
•‘Children of the Ghetto" To-night’s
Attrnotion.
Zangwill's play. “The Children .of the
Ghetto," will be seen to-night for the first
(ime in Savannah. A leading critic says
of the play: #
"As an exposition of one phase of life,
it is the newest thing the American stage
has seen, belter than the so-called Chin’
plays, because this bear the indelible mak
of truth. To the inquiring American, it ex
plains things he may have wondered at.
He may have been puitled to know Hv>
difference between the orthodox Jew and
the reformed Jew, the one who sticks to
the letter of the law as handed down from
time immemorial, (he other, who casts
aside what he designates as stomach re
ligion. the religion of pots and pans and
old rituals and laws dragged from musty
tombs of forgotten sages in distant oil
world cities. He will see in David Brandon
the man who loves his religion, not for is
ceremonies, but In spit* of them, and he
will understand, too. why in the play Da
vld begs his beloved to come with him to
America, the home of the new Judaism, of
freedom in religion as In life.”

MME. NEVADA’S CONCERT.
An Encore Demanded After Every
Nmanlier.
Mme. Eirma Nevada, assisted by Louis
Blumenberg, ’cellift and Seidon Prrftt.
pianist, gave at the Theater last night a
concert, that was one of the best ever
heard in Savannah Though Mme. Nevada
ha? never been heard here before, her
fame had preceded her, and she was wel
comed by an which showed its
thorough appreciation of each number of
the programme by demanding an encore.
In the first number of the programme, the
celebrated “Bell Song.” from Lakme.
Mme. Nevada completely captivated her
hearers, and their enthus asm became in
tensified after each succeeding effort.
Mme. Nevada’s voice is all that could he
desired, clear, round, flexible and power
ful. qualities that were all brought out in
the most admirable way’ in the “Bell
Seng,” and later in the ‘Shadow’ Song,”
frem Dinorab, where h°r truly wonderful
tones and tfftls made the audience refuse
to leave their seats until an encore had
been given.
Asa recall piece after the first number
she sang ’One Early Morn,” a simple,
but melodious little ballad, which was
written especially for the singer, and
which was given last night for the first
time.
Upon her second appearance Mme. Ne
vada sang with wonderful effect Tschai
kowsky’s Travouschka, a mournful compo
sition with the weird beauty of the Rus
sian folk-song, and the haunting melan
choly of the dirge. Mme. Nevada’s rendi
tion was a revelation of power, pathos,
and tone, color.
In direct contrast o this w r as the Tau
bert “Vogel im Walde,” a b illiant bird
song in which all of the singer’s remark
able execution was called into play, ani
showing as well the wonderful flexibility
and carrying power of her voice.
As an encore she gave “You and 1.” a
composition of Liza Lehmann’s, of whom
the singer is a particular friend.
The last selection wa? the “Shadow
Dance” from Linorah in which Mme. Ne
vada gave full range to her power nnd
poured out a rippling stream of golden
melody that flooded the house and awoke
the audience, to stormy applause. She re
sponded with the “Old Folks at Home.”
Mr. Blumenberg, too, came in for his
share of popular favor. It was a large
share and well deserved, for he has an al
most perfect mastery of hi& instrument,
and plays with delicacy, feeling and
power. The “Hungarian Caprice” Dunk
ler, was probably his best and most popu
lar number, though the “Romance by St.
ond Popper’s Spanish Dance were
boih charmingly played, as were also the
several recall pieces that he was forced to
give. Of these the Melodyn F. w*as excep
tionally beautiful.
Nor was the playing of Mr. Pratt, the
pianist, the least enjoyable part of the
evening. His numbers were not preten
tious. but each were well played, and re
ceived merited applause. Nocturne Opus
64, Chopin and the “Scherzo in B. Minor,”
by the same composer, constitute*! the
first group,and “Fetudeu,” “Henselt,” and
“Toccata,” by Scnmbatl, the second. As
encores he gave “Humeresque,” Berger,
Rubinstein’s Romance in El>. Of these the
best was the “Toccata.” Mr. Pratt was
unfortunately handicapped by being forced
to use an upright' instead of a grand
piano.
TWENTY-SIX IN POLICE COURT.
Recorder Hartridge Had a Lot of
Prisoners.
Twenty-six prisoners showed up in the
Recorder's Court yesterday morning ns the
net result of the police haul during Sat
urday and Sunday. Of these only a very
few had been arrested on charges of any
moment. 1
M. Floyd, colored, was arrested early
yesterday morning by Constable Jim
Moore of Magistrate Naughtin’s court at
the request of Mr. J. G. Slater, who
charged the prisoner with the theft of a
cow hide from him. Floyd confessed the
theft, but refused to tell what disposi
tion he had made of the article. His case
was continued.
John Clay, colored, stole a pair of shoes
from L. Kaminsky, at President and East
Broad streets, and when accused of the
theft waxed indignant and attempted to
vindicate his wounded honor by assault
ing his accuser with a rock. Hp was
turned over to the City Court.
Sam Robinson, colored, was remanded
to the Superior Court on a charge of
forgery. The man works for the Plant
System and was arrested for raising one
of the pay checks of the company from $1
to sll.
Ed Everett, colored, whose fondness for
the succulent yam led him to help him
self to a number of them belonging to
R. A. Allen, was remanded to the City
Court.

Some poisons enter the blood from without, through the skin by absorption, or

Cancer, Rheumatism, Eczema and other blood diseases can be distinguished by aZ

disease shows sooner or Inter on the outside and on the weakest part of the body, or where it finds the least resistance.
Many mistake the sore or outward sign for the real disease, and attempt a cure by the use of salves, liniments and other
external applications. Vali iable time is lost and no permanent benefit derived from such treatment.
BLOOD TROUBLES REQUIRE BLOOD REMEDIES ; the poison must be completely and perma

The argument on the demurrer on be
half of the defendants was made yester
day by Mr. Samuel B. Adams, who, with
Mr. J. R. Saussy, represents them. Mr.
.Adorns contended that the complaint filed
in the ease was defective in many as
pects, among these being that the par
ties necessary in law to a suit of the kind
brought, had not been made, and that
the execuvor of the estate of Elias B.
Barstow Wi's not even joined. Other ob
jections were found to the sufficiency of
the complaint!.
Mr. Washington contended for the plain
tiffs that the stales of Barstow’s property
should be set aside, as Barstow was in
sane and could not protect himself, and,
while in that condition *20,000 of his prop
erty had been forced to sale far a few
hundred dollars, .and was, within a few
months, resold by the defendants at a
large profit.
Mr. Washington also contended that
Barstow’s heirs coulc.' not sue under the
Georgia statutes, and as the heirs reside
in Massachusetts, they brought the case
in the United States Court. Only in equi
ty, he contended, could complete justice
be done between all the parties concern

DISCIPLINES OF CHv I.DHIiN.
DiNctiftseri 1>- Mothers and Teachers
nt Kintlergarten Clast.
The question of discipline watt again
before the kindergarten class yesfi-erday,
because there were so many points still
remaining after the class of Saturday,
that it was thought wiser to finish the
subject more thoroughly before doing
anything else.
Much interesting and scussion came up, as
the mothers and teachers present were
asked to give their opinions and experi
ences freely.
Miss Backus read extracts from “Chil
dren’s Rights,” by Mrs. Wiggin. and from
the “Frobers Education of Man” defined
by Prof. Hervey as “A Spring and Foun
tain of Life.”
“Parents usually look at their children
in one of two ways,” said Miss Backus.
“Either the child is expected to be a play
thing and toy to be picked up or put down
at will, or a miniature man or woman ca
pable of all the reasoning and will power
that comes after years of experience, and
in no other way. We expect the results of
training far too quickly, and forget that
the object of all discipline is
to form character, and that
character is the result of many years of
training.
One wise mother said: “The best way
to make a child truthful, is not so much
to punish untruthfulness, as to see that
a child realizes that truth is the founda
tion of all right-living and right-thinking;
it is our part to plant the seeds, let us
be careful that we do not try to force
the fruit.”
Froebel says that all evii tendencies
observed in the child are the negatives of
some virtue, nnd tfiat if we will bend our
energies to cultivating the virtue, the
evil will die because it has nothing to
feed on. Much harm is done by empha
sizing childish faults, and raising unnec
essary questions of dbedienee, when the
whole question might have settled itself
most judiciously if allowed to do so. If
we fill a child full of the good there is
no room for the evil, and punishment
is done away with, for the child ieorns
that self-control is part of all that is
goed. All discipline then, should lead a
child to see the purity that is in every
thing, for that purity leads him to God.”
