10 TO SUBMIT A GROUND PLAN. FOR APPRO YU* OF THE CHATHAM ACADEMY THVSTEBS. Committee of file Hoard of educa tion lo Select and Submit a Plan for Rebuilding tlie Academy De cide* to Take One Step at a Tint**. Will Thus Re Enabled to Keep In Touch With the Trustee* and Save Wante of I,abor—Trustee* Notified of Action of Committee Yonterdnt . The committee recently appointed by the Board of Education to select and submit a plan for the inspection and approval of the trustees of Chatham Au -my for the reconstruction of that huiMir.g has taken the first steps towards accomplishing the object for which it wa:- appointed and jflll shortly take the second step. The first step was t.* ken by the commit tee yesterday afternoon when it met and agreed upon a ground plan for the building. Th 6 com mittee did not go ary further thin the ground plan, as it concluded that it would he a waste of time to work out a plan for the entire building before as rtaining the vlaws of the trustees upon the elemental features of the plan, the decision being that the ground plan should be submitted to the trustees at their earliest conveni ence. Notice of this decision was mailed the chairman of tilt board of trustec-s during the afternoon. The commit lee. consisting of Cos!. Mer cer, Mr. Lee Boy Myers, Messrs. Saussy and O’Bvrne and Superintendent Ash more, met at the office of the superintend ent. A number of plans were considered, among the number bring plan N*>. v which was submitted recently i > n Bui 'ding Committed of the Trustees and disapprov ed of by the Building Commute.- of the , Board of Education. A ground plan, embodying the features. \ both necessary and dost ruble for a public schol building, as suggesttd by Superin tendent Ashm re. was agreed upon, and i was decided not to proceed any further in the rmitter until the trustee* had been given an opportunity to pass upon th portion of the plan. Superintendent Ashmore, when seen ft er the meeting, declined to say wheth r the ground plan selected was from the plan of any particular architect The plan agreed upon, he said, simply embodic I the necessary fea: tires for the ground floor of a large school building, providing for eight large rooms, conveniently arranged, properly lighted and ventilated and with the usual conveniences "The ground | <.n submitted Is simply a sketch." said Supt. Ashmore. "If ac ceptable to the trii’s •* s our committee will proceed with th<* elevation of the building. The idea is to go over the ground carefully, and to have frequent conferences with the trust*-- we pro- i gress. In this way w< will secure a fn*e exchange of ideas, and at the same time avoid the waste of labor which would result from working out a complete plan nhich might fail to meet the approval of the trustees. The idea i also kept in view* of agreeing upon -a building which can be erected within the means at the command of the trustees. By proceeding In this manner I sec no re.ison why an Agreement should not be reached, which will be entirely satisfactory both to the trustees and the Beard of Education.** In the meantime it should be lorne in mind that the spring has gon the sum mer is here, and winter is fast approach ing, and if the new building is to be of service for any portion of the next school year, the less time lost in ogreeing on a plan ami breaking ground for a pew build ing the better for the hundreds of school children who are pr ii illy homeless, so far as school accommodations are con cerned.

Her lovely gown was of white mousseline dfe 60le over taffeta, the skirt finished with two deep accordion-pleated ruffles. A bolero jacket of insertions of Mechlin lace over a finely pleated vest of the mousseline made a beautiful bodice, and Instead of the customary veil she wore only an aigrette in her hair. At the ( h.ti: - 1 she was met by the groom, with his best man, Mr. J. M. Rogers. The ushers wore Dr F. M. Exley, Mr. J. H Burner, Mr. R. M. Hitch and Mr. T. S. Lucas. After the ceremony the march from Lohengrin was played as a recessional. There was no reception and Mr. and Mrs. Sirnfe took the midnight train.

Walker tinil Ml** Mamie S. Witsell. Mr Frank Jame? Walker and Miss Ma mie S. Wit sell w. re married at 8:30 o’clock last night at the home of the bride’s sis i r. Mrs. William Blake Daniels, No. 113 Jones street, west. Th ceremony was per formed by Rev. Charles H. S rorg. It o* k place in t' e front parlor under an arch of palms. The bride and groom en tered to the strains of the M ndelssohn wedding march play- and by Mrs. Henry Jalag r They were preceded by the little niece of the brid?, Miss May Neyle Dan iels, carrying a vellum-bound prayer l ook. During the ceremony Mrs. Galager tluyed softly Bellinis "Take This Ring." After the ceremony a short reception was hr Id -luring vvhi h the many friends of the young couple called o express their g od wishes. Mr. and Mrs. Walker left ov* r the Central for Atlanta where they will spen-i a f< w days before going to their future home, Chattanooga. The bride was charmingly dressed in a gown of white satin, with an overdress of white organdie, trimmed with white satin ribbon and lace. She carried a bou quet of bride roses. While she has been a resident of Savan nah for only a few years, the bride has, by her charming personality, won e large number of friends, who regret to see her leave. She is the daughter of the late Dr. E. Witsell of Waherboro, S. C., and h granddaughter of Maj. Walter, who was a large planter in the vicinity of Wulter boro, and for whom the town was named. Mr. Walker Is a son of Mr. Anthony Walker of Fort Wayne. Inch He was a resident of this city for some time. but has recently gone to Chattanooga, where he Is engaged in the insurance business. There were many out-of-town friends and relatives at the wedding, among them being Mrs. W. E. Fraser, the Bride’s sis ter, and Mr. James O’Hear Witsell, her brother, both of Walterboro. The presents, which were numerous, were both valuable and useful. They con sisted mainly of articles of silver and of cut glass. META H. GIVEN THE FIRST PRIZE. Ileniea*nreineut of the (Veorgianrt ( hui:g<‘* Hr* ii It of Yacht Race. It seems that the Georgiana was not the winner after all in the second class at the regatta o. the Isle of Hope Yacht Club. M. C. B. Westcott, who owns* the Meta W., and who sailed her in the race July 4, left word at the Morning News office last night to the effect that as a result of a remeasurement of Mr. Backus’ boat, the Georgiana, the latter had been retired from the first to third place, giving the first prize to the Meta W. and the second to Mr. Frank Ferguson’s boat, ihe Un dine, which was only fifty-seven seconds behind the Meta \V. on the corrected time, being pushed up to second place. This makes a change of considerable in terest to yachtsmen, there being a very lively rivalry among the owners of the second class boats and Mr. Westcott hav ing claimed lor some time that the Meta W. was the best yacht of her class in Sa vannah waters. Sowe of the yachtsmen, in discussing the matter, held that the Georgians was so different in construction from the other yachts of the second class that she could not properly be put in the same class with them. The remeasurement was conducted by Mr. Henry Backus, owner of the Geor giana, Mr. Westcott and Mr. Swan Sulli van. Mr. Westcott failed to state if this measurement was official, and -it was too late to seen any of the judges or time keepers. As Mr. Backus took part in the remeasurement the probability is that the changed result as announced is accepted by all the parties interested. HITLER TO SUCCEED DILLON. I nderntooal G.

WANT TO SEE THE LEDGERS. SAVANNAH RANK CLERKS SUBPOE NAED IN GREENE-GAYNOR CASE. I’ernonnl Ledger Bookkeeper* of tlie Southern Rank, the Merchant* National Bank nml tlie Savannah Hank anil Trust Company Ordered to Appear llefore Commissioner Shield* on July ll and Bring T heir Hook* With Them—Evidence Tlu*y Are Expected to Give the Ile*nlt of Investigation* by Bank Exami ner* Johnson mid Moiej—( ierk* May Not Go. The fact that United States Attorney Erwin intend.- to comply fully with the requirement of Judge Brown, that upon an application for a warrant of removal probable cause of guilt must be shown, in application made by him for the re moval of Greene and the Gaynors to Sa vannah, found additional confirmation yes terday. The confirmation came in the shape of subpoenas duces tecum, addressed to the personal ledger bookkeepers of three Sa vannah banks, directing them to appear before Commissioner Shields, in New York, on July 11, bringing with them the personal ledgers showing the state of the accounts of Benjamin D. Greene. John F.. Edward H. and William T. Gaynor, O. M. Carter and the Atlantic Contracting Company, during the time when the in dividuals named are charged with having carried on the celebrated conspiracy to defraud the government. Those to whom subpoenas duces tfeum are directed and upon whom they were served by Deputy Marshal White are Da vid K. Catherwood, JV>hn Morris and John O’Gorman, personal ledger bookkeeper of the Southern Bank, the Merchants Na tional Bank and the Savannah Bank and Trust Company. The form of subpoena used, indicated by the Latin term used above, is that the low directs shall be used when the prospective witnesses are required to bring with them books and documents. The subpoenas served upon the personal ledger bookkeepers of the three banks are tlie outcome of thf* investigations r* cent ly made by Bank Examiners Johnson and Moxey, who also worked up much of the evidence against the alleged conspirators, in reference to their divisions of the spoils, made at various times in New York. It is understood that the evidence which Messrs. Catherwood, Morris and O'Gorman are expected to give is along the same line and has reference to other alleged divisions said to hove been made in Sa vannah. It is believed that it can be shown by the evidence of these witnesses that im mediately after payments made to the Atlantic Contracting Company, on ac count of work done on the contract- with the government held by it for the im provement of the harbor of Savannah and Cumberland sound, the bank accounts of Capt. Carter would be increased b> f amounts proportional to his supposed share of the profits of the contract. There is some doubt about the personal ledger bookkeepers being permitted by the officers of the banks to make the trip o New York, in compliance with the sum mons. There is a question of jurisdic tion involved, the question being the rihf of a United States commissioner to sub poena before him persons residing with out his district and stnte and compelling their appearance to give evidence. Un ices. upon Investigation anl report by their counsel, the hanks sdiould determine that tjieir bookkeepers wifi have to obey the subpoenas, there is some doubt about thrir being allowed to obey them. It is a question of business convenience. To have the r-ersonal ledgers carried . way from ihe hanks and kept in New York during the weary weeks to which these examinations have been spun out in the past, would subject the banks to consider able annoyance and inconvenience and in terfere somewhat seriously with the transaction of thi ir business. To this an noyance. incenvenience and interfer. nee with business the banks do not wish to b' subjected unless there is no legal way out of it. It is not n question of unwillingness to assist the government in tlie investigation of this celebrated case that withholds the hanks' consent to their employes’ ac quiescence in the commands of the sub • |>oenas. Tile banks are anxious that ony information they are in a posiiton to give shall be placed a* the government's dispo sal; they only shring f:om the long-con tinued inconvenience they would have to suffer were their personal ledgers* and [>er ■sonai ledger bookkeepers removed to Nevv Vork and kept there indefinitely. it is p obahle Hat the couns 1 for th-> 1 anks will reach a dec sion and 'hat then will he a conference to-day. It may be that the decision will he that the look keepers will have to go. If it it not. the hank officials seem to have ocme to the conclusion that they will keep their book keepers at heme and leave the district attorney to devise some other means of securing the evidence h<> desires to place before the commissioner. Judge Brown's decision, in which he re fused ihe last appl'.ca ion for a warrant of removal, contained the statement that an indic’ment found had only the weight of an affidavit. This s t ins to warrant the conclusion *hat according to the N w York rrocedure In these matters, affida vits are admissible in evidence. If this he a correct construction <f the and eision and the law, i( may contain in it the to lution of the pioblfm. The bank clerks might make affidavit here to the facs within their knowl dge and these could l e sent on to New York, and used at the hearing before the commissioner. Tills would satisfy the requirements of the dis trict attorney as to the Introduction cf the evidence, and at fli* same time re lieve tlie hanks cf the annoyance and in convenience to w hich 111 y wou'd he sub jected by the enforc and and long-continued abs lice of thtir bookkeepers and bcoks.

BOAT RIDE ON THE RIVER. For Convention of Court nnd Police Officer* of the State. The local members of the Clerks. Sher iffs. Chiefs of Police and Marshals’ Asso ciation of the state are at work prepar ing for the entertainment of their fellow members, when the association meets at Savar.nih and Tybee next week, July 11. 12 and 13. It is expected that more than one hun dred and possibly as many as a hundred and fifty of the members of the association will art* nd the convention, and that a con siderable proportion of them will be ac companied by their wives and families. The membership of tjie- association is vefry large, and tho*?e who are in local charge of the convention see no reason to believe that the attendance will not rea<*n one hundred nnd fifty, save that the rail road rates are not as low as they would have liked to see them, and as they made an effort to obtain. The programme of business and enter tainment has not yet been fully mapped out. one of the points still undetermined, being whether the first session of the con vention shall be held in Savannah or at Tybee. It is rather believed, however, that the first session will he called to order in the city, at 10 o’clock, on the morning of July 11, and that the addresses of welcome ar.d responses will be delivered at that hour. Just who will make the speeches has r.or yet been determined. Probably Mayor Myers or some member of the board of aldermen will be invited to make the ad dress on behalf of the city. For the afternoon cf the first dnv Wed nesday. a trip up and down the rivq* has been arranged. The steamer Alpha, with the members of the association, their families and guests, will leave the foot of Whitaker street about 2 o’clock. The Al pha will carry the party up the river to the new Georgia and Alabama bridge, affording an opportunity for the inspection of the terminals of the Seal>oard. and the various manufacturing plants that line the* banks of the river. • At the bridge the steamer will turn, proceeding thence down the river, pass ing the wharves of the city and the old fortifications that defended the approach to Savannah in the past. The trip will be as extended as is permitted by the plan of bringing the party back to the dry by 6 o’clock, in time to catch the 6:50 train for Tybee. The second session of the convention will probably be called to order at Hotel Tybee, on Thursday morning. Various amusements will be provided for the vis itors during the day, while at night a supper will be served In the dining-room of the hotel. A vaudeville entertainment, fo follow' the supper, or an old-fashioned cakewalk, will probably wind up the evennig. No arrangements for the en tertainment of the members of the asso ciation on the third and final day of the convention have yet been perfected, Though various plans are under considera tion. The convent’on is being arranged for by Glerk James K. P. Carr. Superinendent of Police Screven, Sheriff T. J. Sweeny ami Deputy Sheriff E. W. O’Connor. If active efforts to make every visiting member of the association enjoy the best of good times during his stay in Savan nah will accomplish this result, the mem bers may rely upon such efforts being made.

In other matters the lodge has been equally prosperous, having during the period just closed, lost no members by death, nd having received ;n dues omi from other sources, over S9OO, the largest amount received during any previous six months of its history. The excellent financial condition of the lodge ha resulted in a iarge additions being made to the reserve fund.

JOHN AND PARTY INSPECT THE TERMINALS. AH Well Pleased With the Situation. Savannah I* All Right, Say* Super intendent Mcßee—Vice President St. John Snys That the Consolida tion I* Fractionlly Completed ami the Operation of the Blr System I* Now Being Directed From Hcad cinnrtern at Portsmouth—Plenty of HusliiesK for the 2,6(M) Nlile* of the New System, He Says—Will Return Here Saturday. Vice President St. John of the Seaboard Air Line and the general officials of the system spent yesterday in Savannah. The party arrived from the North in Mr. St. John's private car and spent the day in conference with the attorneys and offi cials here. In the afternoon a trip was taken on the little transfer launch Eclipse to the terminal properties on Hutchinson Island and some time was spent in mak ing a thorough inspection of the proper ay. The party left at night for Mont gomery. The Florida lines will also be inspected and the party will return here Saturday. The members of the party are Vice President St. John, General Superintend ent V. E. Mcßee, W. T. Reid, superin tendent of machinery; George P. John son, superintendent of transportation; H. W. B. Glover, freight traffic manager; C. R. Capps, general freight agent, and W. E. Flournoy, stenographer to Mr. St. John. Judge L. R. Watts of Ports mouth of the general counsel for the Sea board, is expected to meet the party here Saturday. Vice President St. John, when seen by a Morning News reporter, said that the party is simply making a general tour of Inspection of the system, this being the first tour of the kind since the re cent consolidation. "We *ure very much pleased with what we have seen, espe cially in Savannah," he said. "Every lime I come to Savannah there is evidence of improvement in our property here over the previous visit, and the conditions this time are very satisfactory, indeed." "Are there any further improvements in contemplation at Savannah?’’ Mr. St. John was asked. "With the completion of the present ter minals our stake in Savannah will be a very satisfactory one." was his reply. "Considerable additions are bfing made to the shops west of city, and we shall have a very complete plant there." Speaking of the consolidation of tie Sea board lines Mr. St. John said that*eleven of the small lines in Virginia and North Carolina were gathered into the system last week. "The general work of the con solidation is about complete." he said. "We are now' getting the details in hand and putting on the finishing touches. Our headquarters will be at Portsmouth and the general business will be transacted from that point. As vice president and general manager I have charge of both the traffic and operating departments. Mr. Mcßee is general superintendent of the system will exercise immediate supervision of the operating department, while Mr. Glover and Mr. Capps will look after the freight department." The new Seaboard system now includes 2.600 miles of rail lines. As to whether there will be sufficient business for onoth er great system of the magnitude of the Seaboard, Mr. St. John replied: "I have no fear on that score. The outlook is very satisfactory, indeed." General Superintendent Mcßee was on* of the most inter s ed members of the party in taking in the situation. "Savan nah is all right,” said Mr. Mcßee. "Sh* always was for that matter, but she is in be.ter fix now than ever. I used to thick t u at nothing could hold a hand nga ns* the old Central here, but things have changed considerably since then. Those new terminals are the biggest thing of the kind‘that has le j n done in the South in years. With the arrange ments which we have made th rt business c n be just as conveniently transacted as if our t rmirals were all on this ile." "Savannah do:q more business than any (wo ports south of Baltimore," remarked Mr. Mcßee to Traffic Manager Glover. "T. r you want to get an idea cf ihe bus irss that is done ycu will have to come here when the cotton shipping season is on." With ihe exception of Vice President St. John and General Superintendent Mc- Bee, the general officials of the Seaboard are rather a young locking lot. Bo h Messrs. Glover and Capps are compara tively youhtful looking, and there was not a man in the party who appeared to have reached middle age outside of the two first r.amed. Superintendent Mcßee’s masshe frame and leonine face are we I remembered here. Exc pt that his head is whiter, ho is just the same man that he was seven years ago.

"The demand for good pine lands has i not decreased by reason of the lower price j of lumber," eaid Mr. J. P. Williams yes terday. "On the contrary, the demand has held up well and these lands are bring ing better prices to-day than ever before in their history." Mr. Williams is in a position to know whereof he speaks, as he has been a very large investor in pine lands, having mYide several large deals during the last few j months. The J. P. Williams Land Com pany, of which he is president, purchased over 100,000 acres of land in Southeast Ala bama some months ago, the price being in the neighborhood of $2.25 per acre. Re cently the company made a sale of 50,000 acres of these lands at a price per acre considerably above that named. Mr. Williams would not say exactly what was the price received for this large body of land, but he admitted that the profit had been a very satisfactory one. "The general demand for land and the fact that there is a ready sale for both, in large and small bodies at prices con siderably above those of a year ago is in dicative of a very satisfactory state of affairs in the country," said Mr. Will iams. "This is due to several causes. The limited supply of good pine land for naval stores and lumber purpose* causes a good demand from those sources. The higher prices received for cotton has also encouraged many farmers to extend their operations nnd to purchase lands formerly 1 held by naval stores men. The present j scarcity of labor, in my opinion, is duo, in large degree, <o the number of negro turpentine hands who have settled down as small farmers, either buying a few acres by making a small cash payment or renting from while proprietors. This is a much easier life for the negro and one which he much prefers to work ing on a turpentine farm, provid ed he can get anything for his cot ton. With the great damage which has been done to the new crop by the exces sive rains and the limited supply of cot ton now r in sight, high prices will very probably continue to prevail for some ime to come, with the result of increas ing the number of small farmer both 1 white and colored."
