SPECULATION AS TO POLIT

A Man Who Never Breaks a Pledge

dency of a Bank Next Mo'nday.
Special to The Herald.
Savannah, Ga., March 8.—There is
much speculation in Savannah as to
-whether Mr. W. W. Osborne, long in
control politically in Savannah and
Chatham County, is not getting ready
to lay aside his political toga and per
mit some one else to assume the lead
ership of the administration forces. It
is believed that when Mr. Osborne as
sumes the presidency of the new Ex
change Bank, which he is to do on
Monday, he will put aside much of his
political activity. Just who is to take
his place is not known, hut there are
plenty of men in the ranks of the
Citizens’’Club vtbo would probably be
willing to do so.
If Mr. Osborne does pass from the
political arena into.that of business,
Savannah will losa its most astute pol
itician, hut such an action would not
surprise some of those close to him.

James McBride on, Trial for the Mur
der of George H. Dyer—Sap Dyer,
Brother of Man Whom McBride
Killed, to be Tried for Killing Po
liceman Kearney.
Special to The Herald..
Savannah, Ga,, March 8.—Timothy
McBride, son of James McBride, the
harbormastei, and a clerk in the same
office, is on trial in the Superior Court
today for the murder of George H.
Dyer in .front of the city hall a few
weeks ago. The trial attracted more
attention than any murder trial in
Savannah in many years. It attracted
the attention of all classes. The d£
fendant is the son of a well-known
politician, and politics was at the bot
tom of the homicide.
The feeling between two political
factions was Very acute, and Dyer,
with two of his brothers, went to the
city hall in search of Plumbing In
spector McKenna. They met McKen
na, James Lane and James McBrjd,e,
and a shooting affray started.^ Tim
McBride was on the third floor of the
city hall, and fearing his father would
ho killed, ran down into the street and
began shooting at the offendng trio.
He killed George Dyer. The other two
were also shot, hut not by young Mc
Bride.
Policeman Kearney was killed, and
Sap Dyer, a brother of the man whom
McBride killed, is now in jail and will
soon he tried for the Kearney murder.
Young McBride appeared for trial
this morning looking a little careworn
from his experience in jail, hut he and
his friends predict that he will he
acquitted. Messrs. Twiggs and Oliver
are defending him and Mr: W. C. Hart-
ridge is assisting the solicitor-general
in the prosecution.
It is expetced that the trial will .he
over by tomorrow morning z^the
latest, as there is not a great deal of
evidence to hear. Considerable trou
ble was experienced in getting a jury
today, as so many people were preju
diced one way or another. Several
talesmen went off for cause, being
opposed to capital punishment.
It is expected that McBride’s de
fense will be that he shot to protect
the life of his father. Vp to this after
noon he had not gone upon the stand
in his own defense.

Profound Astonishment at Algeciras.
Algeciras, March 8.—The ministerial
crisis in Paris' has caused profound
astonishment among the delegates to
the Moroccan conference, hut details
have not yet reached here.
■ The, impression prevails that the
event is deplorable and may prove dis
astrous to French diplomacy.
The conference this morning re
sumed discussion ot the Moroccan po
lice question. .Three distinct proposi
tions were presented—one represent
ing the German ideas, the second rep
resenting the French position, and the
third by the Moroccan mission. These
plans are now being considered. It is
believed that the powers are being
brought closer together.
A committee from the Georgia leg
islature Is spending today in Albany
"or the purpose of Inspecting the two
convict camps near Albany.
1'hpse comprising the committee are
Senator McAllister, chairman, and
Representatives Griffin, of Cotfb, 'Wil
liams, of Madison, and Callaway, of
Lee, Four other members of the com
mittee are not here.
The committee arrived last night
from Calhoun county, where they were
engaged yesterday. Today they have
’been 1 ttiwasft'the county -misderasancr-
camp, two miles south of the city, and
the felon? camp at the brick yards of
Cruger, & Face, just north of the cop
porate limits.
■As on the occasion oi former inspec
tions, both, the Dougherty county
camps have been found in entirely
satisfactory condition. The prisoners
are well housed and cared for, 1 and
have no complaint to make.
The legislative committee yill he in
the city all day, leaving tonight on the
9 o’clock Central train. Their tour of
inspection embraces, the counties of
Dougherty, Lee and Calhoun.

He is one of the most popular men,
politically and otherwise, in Savannah!
and he Is certain to make a Buccess
of his business venture. He has
shown himself to be a leader to he
trusted always He never breaks a
pledge and never makeB a promise
that he can not keep. This Is one of
the secrets of hlB success. Should
he lay aside politics for business, the
state and the city of Savannah would
see pass a man who has been a factor
in the politics at home and through
out Georgia for the past decade.
