Friendu—So SaMpieion of Anythin*
Criminal Attaeliea to Hla Appear
ance-Dr. Von Kuseiidorf Ordered
Here From Sew Orleans to Take
Charge of tlie Office.
NothiifS: has been learned of the where
abouts of Dr. Sherrard R. Tabb, an ac
count of whose disappearance a week
ago was given in yesterday’s Morning
News. Dr. Tabb’s friends utlll hope that
he will return and give a satisfactory ac
count of himself. Their theory Is that
he is suffering from temporary mental
aberration as the result of financial trou
bles, and that when he comes to himself
he will not hesitate to return here, If, in
fact, he has wandered far from Savan
nah.
Inquiry has been made at other points
to which it was thought Dr. Tabb might*
have gone, but without result, further
than to ascertain rha* nothing .s known
at those places. The orders for his trans
fer to Baltimore were received in Savan
nah after his disappearance, and, con
sequently, he could not have gone there,
especially as he is believed to have been
unaware that these orders were in pros
pect. Naturally, in such cases, he would
have arranged matters here and left some
one in charge of his work, or would have
awaited the arrival of his successor.
A postal card addressed to Dr. Tabb
by a relative in Richmond and dated Fri
day, which has been received here, indi
cates that he was not in Richmond at
that time. Another relative at St. Au
gustine, Fla., was notified by telegraph
and replied, stating thru Dr. Tabb was
not there. The marine hospital authori
ties at Washington have not only made
inquiries, but have authorized the em
ployment of a detective to investigate
the disappearance, and the police authori
ties have been requested to assist in the
search. Yet no trace has been discov
ered.
Thip is all the more mysterious, inas
much as he was last seen in broad day
light at his boarding house, at 244 Ogle
thorpe avenue, east. Mr. Frank P. Sa
las, with whose mother the missing man
boarded, was an intimate friend of Dr.
Tabb. The two were at the University
of Virginia at the same time and became
quite intimate there, and when Dr. Tabb
came to Savannah, it was natural that
he should make his home at Mrs. Salas’,
where he was regarded as almost a mem
ber of the family. Mr. Salas said that
he learned from a servant that Dr. Tabb
returned to he house about 9 o’clock
Monday morning after having been out
all night. He went to his room, where
he changed his uniform coat and vest
for a light gray coat and vest, and then
left the house, taking nothing with him.
It is somewhat strange that he was not
green after that. As it is known from
parties who had been with him during
the night that he had no money, it does
not seem possible that ho could have left
the city by any of the railroads. In
quiry nt the depot*?* failed to show that
any one answering his description had
taken any of the trains.
Mr. Salas kept quiet about his friend’s
disapp aranee, thinking that he was prob
ably in the city and would show up in a
day or two. The absence of Dr. Tabb was
noted at the St. Josephs Infirmary,
where there are several marine hospital
patients, and Inquiry wa? made by one of
the physicians of Health Officer Brunner.
Dr. Brunner made inquiries which soon
showed him that Dr. Tabb was unaccount
ably missing. After satisfying himself on
ihis point, he notified the marine hospi
tal authorities at Washington, and was
requested to make temporary provision
f r the office as w 1 as t> make effort to
ascertain Dr. Tabb’s whereabouts. Dr. J.
Ralston Lattimore was placed in charge
of the office by Dr. Brunner. Dr. von Es
sendorf has been ordered here from New
Orleans to take charge, and may arrive
to-day. There is nothing dishonorable to
Dr. Tabb in his disappearance beyond the
injury which he has done himself per
sonally and in his standing with his ser
vice. While he was undoubtedly financial
ly embarrassed there is no suspicion that
he has made away with any money not
belonging to him. It Is understood that
he had obtained loans from several
friends, but the total amount of those is
ndt large and his friends would willingly
lose the amounts if they could be relieved
of the anxiety on his account.
DEATH OF HAS. C. If. COSGROVE.
Well Kmm n Savannah Duly PiiMri
Away in Angnatn.
Mrs. C. H. Cosgrove of Augusta, for

acute form, and an effort was made to
get the invalid to the mountains, where
It wus hoped the bracing it> would do her
good. When Augusta was reached, on
the way. however, the weak condition in
which she then was, would not permit

MICE FOR PORTO RICO.
A Large Sale to the Government
Mode by Mr. AV. G. Morrell.
The United States government will use
Georgia rice in feeding the destitute peo
ple of Porto Rico. Mr. W. G. Morrell
made a shipment a day or two ago of 3,696
bags of rice, weighing 369,600 pounds. Tne
rice was bought by the government for
shipment to Porto Rieo. Avery acceptable
rate being offered by the Ocean Steamship
Company, the shipment was made by way
of New York.
The shipment may be only the forerun
ner of a number of others of similar
character. At present, however, the mar
ket has been pretty well cleared up of
low grades of rice, and as this is the kind
which the government is buying for Us
charity work, further supplies will have
to be obtained elsewhere until the new
crop cctnes. The low grado rice is soul
to be just as nutritious as the higher
grades, the difference in market price
being due to the much better appearance
made by the higher grades.
This shipment only bears out the view
expressed by Mr. Morrejl some time ago
in discussing the Porto Rican tariff bill to
the effect that th© people of Porto Rico
would prove to be consumers and not ex
porters of rice, and that therefore the rice
growers of this country had nothing to
fear in the way of competition from that
quarter.
“I believe this is only a beginning of a
business which will prove of great bene
fit to our local market,’’ said Mr. Morrell
yesterday in discussing the matter. “We
have always 4\ad a great deal of trouble
in getting rid of our low grades of rice
and this tended to and f>r< ss the. prices of
the higher grades With a ready market
for the lower grades we will have no dif
ficulty in securing better prices for the
higher grades. Should such a market be
established the result would undoubtedly
be to increase the cultivation of rice in
this section and a great deal of outlying
land which has been uncultivated for
years might be tak*n up.”
Mr. Morrell said that he had the oppor
tunity of taking a much larger order from
the government which he did not accept
because of the fact that the rice was not
to be had here.
Reports from the rice plantations are to
the effect that much damage was done
by tlie recent freshets, especially on the
Satilla river, and that a great deal of re
planting will be necessary.
THE INDUSTRIAL MOVEMENT.
Committees Are Tardy, Hut Increases
lu Subscription* Shown.
A meeting of the Savannah Industrial
Association was held at the Metropolitan
Hall last night. Although the attendance
was not large the meeting was a fairly
satisfactory one. The reports from the
committees showed some increase in the
subscriptions, but there was the usual
trouble of the absence of several of the
chairmen with no reports from their com
mittees.
It also developed that some of the best
territory Is still unworked. Mr. Nicholas
Lang, with his committee, witty one of the
poorest of the fourteen districts Into which
the city was divided, obtained subscrip
tions to the amount of $5,200, being much
the best showing made by any of the com
mittees. If Mr. Lang could do so well in
an unimportant district Chairman Estill
was of the opinion that some of the oth
er committees, to which have been as
signed the best territory, financially
speaking, should l>c able to obtain at least
twice as much. It is In these districts,
however, that the least work has been
done.
The chairman also called attention to
the number of subscriptions secured by
Mr. S. Krouskoff from the small retail
dealers on the west side of the city, seme
of whom have been in business on a small
scale for only a year or two. What is
more, these people are ready to pay their
entire subscriptions at once if need be.
Such a showing from the small business
people, the chairman thought, should lie
an Incentive to the old established houses
to do much bigger things.
The incidental mention by the chairman
of the neglect to take proper steps to
secure a very desirable small enterprise,
for which the opportunity had been offer
ed, caused quite a lively discussion, and
a disposition was manifested to open a
subscription list immediately among those
present for the purpose of bringing this
enterprise to Savannah. It Is likely that
steps In this direction will be taken. The
failure to take advantage of the opportun
ity was generally criticised.
Chairman ICsilll slated that he would
Call upon the chairman of the various
canvassing committees this week and urge
upon them to push their work to comple
tion before the summer season sends a
great number of the citizens North.
GEORGE WITTE CAPTURED.
Police Clilof Wires That He Ran Him
in New York.
A telegram was received by Superin
tendent Screven last night from the chief
of police of New York, announcing the
capture there of George H. Witte, a Sa
vannah rran who skipped out about a year
ago. leaving a considerable shortage be
hind him with the Savannah Grocery
Company for which he was collector.
Nothing could be learned of his where
abouts at the time of his departure, and
It was supposed that he had gore to Ger
many.
Witte was quite pqpular with the Ger
man citizens and there was much sur
prise at his departure anl defalcation. The
exact amount of tin shortage has never
been announced. He will doubtless be
brought back to Savannah for trial.

FAIR’S BRILLIANT OPENING.
MASONIC BAZAR I'IACGTIRATBD BY
GRAND MASTER DAVTS.
A
Nearly n Thnn.anil People Thronced

Welcomed the Grand Hooter—Dr.
Simmon*’ Addreo. In Dehalf of the
Fair Committee.—Solomon. I.ocljx©
the Gnr.t. of the Even tn nr—The
Hall a Brilliant Srene and the
Fir.t Mft lit u Gratifying Suece.a.
The Masonic Fair was brilliantly opened
last night. During the evening nearly one
thousand persons visited the fair building,
and the receipts from booths, supper
room, and dancing hall were most flatter
ing.
The doors of the building were open, at
6:30 o'clock for the workers, and at 8
o'clock to the public, but It was not un
til 8:30 upon the arrival of Grand Master
W. A. Davis of Macon, that the fair was
declared formally opened.
Grand Master Davis was met at the
Central station at 7 o'clock by a delega
tion consisting of District Deputy Charles
F. Fulton, and a number of the past
masters and the worshipful masters of
the lodges. Later be was escorted by
the committee to the fair building, where
he was mot by Mayor Myers and Dr. A.
B. Simmons, president of the Fair Com
mittee.
Dr. Simmons made a short address,
thanking the people for their attendance,
and especially the ladles of the auxili
aries to whom he said It now remained
to gather the harvest for which the com
mittees have sown the seed. He pre
sented Mayor Myers.
Mayor Myers' address was one of wel
come to Grand Master Davis. "In wel
coming you to Savannah," he said, "I
merely voice the sentiment of all of our
citizens. We recognize that you have
come here on a mission of charity, one
IRat Is confined to no class or people, but
is so broad as to honor those by whom it
Is conducted, and who Intend by the pro
ceeds of this fair, to build in this city a
temple that will be a monument of which
any city may well be proud.”
"These noble ladies,” the Mayor con
tinued, “with whose handiwork the eye
is greeted on every side, and who by that
work and their efforts in behalf of the
fair, prove their enthusiasm In their work
and their devotion to the cause, aife also
glad of your present*, and we extend
to you a brother’s and a sister's welcome
to Savannah.”
The grand master, in replying, said:
“Permit me to thank my distinguished
friend for his cordial welcome to this
beautiful city. My remarks must neces
sarily be brief, plain and to the point;
but though I lack in eloquence and graces
of speech, I am not wanting In regard
for our order nor enthusiasm for its
tenets. It Is with profound feeling that
I am here to-night to assist in this no
ble work, and it gives me the greater
pleasure, as some of our brightest Ma
sons have been Savannahians.
"You have a lodge In your city,” he
continued, referring to Solomon's Lodge,
"that Is the mother of Masonry In the
South; nay, more; is acknowledged by
unbiased historians to be the
mother of Masonry In the Unit
ed States. For though, as I am
aware, the charter of this lodge Is
antedated by one in Boston, yet the fact
retrains that Solomons was the first organ.
Ized, and the first In the country to hold
a Masonic communication. Masonry has
u great, mission to fulfill, a magnificent
work to perform, and God has sent it to
a great end. This mission It has not yet
fulfilled, but it is working toward the de
sired end daily, and as a great and pow
erful organization for good tvlll last until
that end be accomplished l . By her Influ
ences masonry has forged ties that bind
into a band of brothers Jew and Genlile
alike; that converts foes into friends; and
that even on the fields of battle has dis
covered In the fierce foemnn the tender
friend and the nurse of the sick and
wounded. You are fortunate, my brothers,
in having secured these fair ladles of this
city. The very presence of ladies Is an in
spiration to any place of work. Women,
represent all that Is high and pure and
noble, and should be clothed with all the
rights accorded to man. If she has not
determined to vote it is because she does
not want to do so, but if she ever does,
xvo should let her have It secure in the
knowledge that she will exercise It only for
the good of the human race.
I now declare this fair opened by virtue
of invested In me as Grand Mas
ter of the state of Georgia, and will say,
also, that it has my thorough approba
tion. Conduct the is-ork before you in love,
and faith, and ehaTity which is the ladder
that leads to that Grand Lodge above.”
The ladies of the different lodges had
worked hard all day and the booths show
ed ihe effects of their well directed ef
forts. Indeed, so attractive were they that
but little effort was necessary to Induce
the spectators to Invest the greater part
of their cash in the attractions. The work
ers at each booth turned out in fm-ca
while bevies of pretty girls assisted them
cn the floor with b oks of options.
The first booth Cos the right upon enter
ing ihe hall is that of Landrum Lodge.

and Miss Josle Dorsett, secretary. Some

the donations that heve been received
by the Fair Committee are In this booth.
Among them are a White sewing ma
chine, a New Home sewing machine, three
handsome imported marble vases, a tilt
glass salad dish, a cut glass pitcher, an
expensive and most artistic chamber set.
and an exceptionally handsome center
piece; besides these the booth is stocked
with various other gifts.
Next to Landrum booth comes that of
Ancient Landmark, of which Mrs. W. O.
Charlton is chairman, and is assisted by

JEWISH WOMEN MET.
At 111 Send Relief to the Starving
People of India.
The Savannah section of the Council of
Jewish Women desire to aid the starving
In India. They have felt the appeal that
reaches every heart from the famine
stricken people of that over-crowded at|d
unhappy country, and sincere efforts will
be made to accomplish everything possi
ble In their aid.
At the annual meeting of the section
yesterday afternoon in the Sunday school
room of the Temple Mickva Israel, the
matter of assisting the unfortunates,
news of whose distress has traveled to
every country, was considered. The story
of the 35,000,000 that suffer, when the Brit
ish government can furnish succor for
but 5,000,000, was told, and the members
were moved to pity by its recital.
The president of the section, Mrs. I. P.
Mendes, at her home on Gwinnett street,
west, will receive any contributions,
however small, for transmission to the
national body of the council, which has
undertaken to send on funds for the re
lief of the suffering. Mrs. Mendes and
the other ladies are greatly Interested In
the matter, and they will gladly receive
contributions from any source. Denom
ination or creed will not be considered;
from all donations will be received with
equal appreciation.
The meeting was the last of the season
of activity in the work the members of
the section have undertaken for the bene
fit of others. Next fall they will again
engage in the prosecution of their plans,
but, until then, there will be no more
meetings. With one exception, the entire
hoard of efficient officers that has served
for a year was re-elected. Following is
the board as It now stands:
President—Mrs. I. P. Mendes.
Vice President—Mrs. Cecilia Abrahams.
Secretary—Mrs. Max Wolff.
Treasurer—Mrs. J. Gutman.
Auditor—Mrs. S. L. Lazaron.
Directresses—Mesdames Lawrence Lipp
man, A. Vetsburg. Mcses Dreyfus, Isaac
Minis, J. Birnbaum and A. Barnett.
The secretary read all the communica
tions from the notional body that had
been received since the convention last
March tn Cleveland, 0., most of which
were relative to the work of the com
ing season and to proposed changes In
constitution and by-laws.
Fund® are desired for the proper main
tenance of the mi sion school that has
been so successfully conducted in the
western section of the city by the Jewish
ladies. A circular will be sent out among
the members of the section to show them
what means to follow for adding to the
assets for next season’s work with ttje
school. In this connection the ladies
found occasion to express their thanks and
appreciation for the many donations, great
and small, that have been made them by
individuals and by various societies that
were organized for their assistance In th©
work.
Rev. Dr. I.P. Mendes was sent for by the
ladles to present a handsome goxl watch
to Miss Lenora Amram, who had been In
charge of the mission school. So success
ful had been, the teacher’s work, that the
ladies decided the salary they had paid
her was more than earned—in fact, that
a mere matter of salary could not reward
her for the excellent work she did. Dr.
Mendes eloquently expressed the confi
dence and trust the members repose In the
teacher and the satisfaction it gave them
to present the watch.
The pupils of the school will also be re
membered to-morrow afternoon, when
they will be taken to Isle of Hope for an
outing. Tlie young ladies of the Rebecca
Gratz Band of the Daughters In Israel
will cake the children on the trip.
A report from one of the officers of the
section showed the excellent results that
have followed the organization of a Lit
t e Sisterhood, which has labored on the
same lines as their elders under the lead
ership of Mrs. Max Wolff.
TO EXAMINE MORE OFFICERS.

vannah May 2b.
The military examining board will have
another sittiing May 25. Notice has been
sent ten candidates for commissions in
the state service to appear to take the ex

regimental armory.
Following are the candidates who have
been summoned: Second Lieutenant S, E.

The present board has had no sinecure.
It has examined more candidates for com
missions within a given time than ever
did a preceding board. Preparing the ex
aminations, the clerical work(of notifying
candidates and the work of correcting pa
pers Is all tedious, and those who are on
the hoard deserve credit for their efficient
performance of their duties. The board
consists of Capt. J. T. West, Lieut. F. C.
Wilson and Lieut. C. A. L. Cunningham.
NEW TELEPHONE IN OPERATION.
Georgia Cos. Will Open Its Lines for
llnisnes* Thursday,
The Georgia Telephone Company will
open its lines for business this week. The
lines are now being used in the business
section of Ihe city, and have been for sev
eral days. Thursday everything will be
ready and the entire system will be put
in operation.
The Installing of a telephone system
like that of the Georgia Company is an
undertaking that requires great prepara
tion ar.d labor. President Bisbee said last
n ght when called up over his 'phone that
he has the satisfaction of knowing that
the system Is as near perfect as modern
invention can make It. The chief delay In
getting the system In operation has been
the switchboard. This is now complete
nnd the company is ready to do business.
The subscribers’ lists will be out in a day
or two and then the Georgiy will be
side and sldo with the Bell people. The
subscribers so far as practicable, have
been given the same numbers used by the
Bell Company and there will be little, If
any confusion, In using the two 'phones.
THE LAWTONS WILL PARADE.
The Young Comma ml to Celebrate
Its Sixth Anniversary.
The Lawton Cadets will celebrate their
sixth anniversary next Saturday after
noon. Capt. Ralph Meldrlm will com
mand the company, which, headed by a
band, will march through the principal
streets.
The most p'easant feature of the en
tertainment will be that to take place at
the home of Col. A. R. Lawton after the
parade. The company was named In
honor of the late Gen. A. R. Lawton, nnd
ever since Its organization the custom on
anniversaries has been to go to the hos
pitable homo of Col. Lawton, who delights
In entertaining the young soldiers.

The county enumerators are as follows:
Fifth militia district. Horace B. Mitchell,
Augustus Bonaud, Samuel B. Pelot; Sixth
district, Osceola Butler; one more to be
appointed; Seventh district, Francis A.
Murchison, James R. Bashlor; Eighth dis
trict, George B. Oliver, Fred W. Oborn,
S L. Parker.
There are twelve colored enumerators
out of the fifty-stx in the county. Of the
two female enumerators, one is white and
the other colored. When asked about these
appointments yesterday, Capt. Blun said
the appointments were made strictly ac
cording to the results shown by the test
examinations. The number of applicants,
both of white nnd colored, who complied
with the requirements in submitting their
applications, was much less than was ex
pected. All told there were 21(1 applica
tions from this county, all of whom were
furnished with test blanks to be filled out
nnd returned. Of the 210 test lists which
were furnished, only ninety were returned
to the supervisor, and of this number
there were barely enough who performed
the work with sufficient accuracy to fill
out tho list of appointments for the
county.
Capt. Blun expects that there will be
some kicking because of the fact that col
ored enumerators have been appointed.
If such be the case, he says, the whites
have only themselves to blame, as there
was a much smaller number of white ap
plicants than he had reason to expect. In
passing upon the test papers, there was
nothing to show as to whether the appli
cant was white or colored, the applicants
being rated according to the accuracy
with which they had performed the work
required of them.
The comimilsslone for the appointees
were signed by the supervisor, and mailed
to them last night. They will be expect
ed to begin at once their work of prepa
rallon lor taking the census. Capt. Blun
has twelve boxes full of census literature
at his office In the Custom House. Each
enumerator will be furnished with a book
of instructions, os well as with other lit
erature. The work of taking the census
is to begin June 1, and must be completed
In two weeks In the city. The country
enumerators are allowed a month in which
to perform their work.
