6 THE CASE AT A CRISIS. CARTER ET AL. CO\SPIH\(A WIT NESSES gathering. DKtrirt Attorney F.rln Ulhi Return ed From III* \\a*hinlon Trip. Memirn. Eihvnrd I. John Min and Eduard P. Mosey Are Al*o In the City—They %re Said to He tlie Se cret Service Absent* Who Have Worked I |i Recently Obtained Evi dence Affoinat Some of the Cnn- Kpiratoru \ Second Indictment 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 IF’lfSj Healthy | || 11 Hair * f:• A man with a thin head of hair ■■KLejiSteiSSsfil is a marked man.

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. IN THE I*OLICE DRAG NET. 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. C. T. Lnnc. and Joe Fields, both col ored. were sent in for fighting on the street. The two men drum for rival houses in Savannah’s “ghetto,” where the sharp competition for trade often leads to personal encounters. Lane claims to have had some or so raft hands in tow and safely on the way to the More of his employer, when Fields, by seductive promises of “everything marked down.” guaranteed fit,” and “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 for the next few days Even before the prisoners had reached the barracks .f*er being arrested their respective were making anx ious telephone calls respecting the amount of their bonds, and as soon as the men reached the police headquarters their principals were there add secured (heir release on bond. Both men have been up before the Re corder before on the same charge. Only last week his honor warned them that if they were brought before him again for the same offense he would make it unpleasaTit for them. They will be given a hearing this morning. Willie Jones is another colored drum mer who got himself looked up for doing business without a license. Police badge No. 63 was lost Sunday, either in the city or at Isle of Hope. The finder can leave it with the desk ser geant at the barracks. IN COURT OF ORDINARY. Mm'li IliiMincM* Tran*ac*ted on Ftr*t Day of April Term.

THE HOY IS WE YKMINDED. 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. Beckett & Beckett. COMPANY IS BANKRUPT. Receiver Appointed for Savnnnitlf Shoe nnd Dry Goods Company. Several of the creditors the Savan nah Shoe and Dry Goods Company filed a petition in the United States District Court yesterday, asking that it he de clared a bankrupt.

The case of Martin Karchner against the Southern Hailway, for several days on trial in the United States Court, was term inated yesterday by the agreement of the parties. In the compromise the plaintiff received from the company the sum of $2,500, estimated as the amout of the sal ary he would have made had he been able to work during the time he was suffering from the effects of the accident. Karchner sued the company for $20,000.

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.” The story of ihe play has been given in 10-tef In the Moridng N‘s Miss Rosalie Morrison will appear ns "Hannah," and Mr. Wilton LackaVe an "Reh Hhemuel."

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. DEMURRER IN BARSTOW CASE. Arguments of Counsel Partlnlly Henril Yesterday. Judge Speer heard a portion of the ar guments upon (he demurrer filed by the defendants in the case of John S. Bar stow, against Isaac - Becketl and others, in the United States Court yesterday morning. The arguments upon the de murrer will be continued and conclude 1 to-day. The plaintiffs sue for the possession or property formerly belonging to Ellas B. Barstow of Wilmington Island, of whom they are the heirs at law. Barstow was once possessed of considerable property, but before his death, managed in one w’y or another to dissipate most of it. He was a most eccentric individual, and the plaintiffs In the present case con* tend that he was crazy. The plaintiffs are represented In the hearing before Judge Speer by Mr. Hugh V.

The heirs at law of Barstow are residents of the state of Massachusetts. 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 ed. 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.” CONTRACTING COMPANY LOST. J. L.
