When Patrolman Hsutm. who made the
arrest, reached tne scene, he was in time
to see Allen stflking Hoffman on th*
head with a pistol, while Hoffman, al

Allen was taken to the barracks where
the charge of being disorderly and strik

The fact of Chief Ripley’* presence In

in yeaterd.*) s Morning News. Out In
Chicago they nre having a vice crusade
that rivals that now in progresa in New

ctmad of la-.rig largely responsible for the

perhaps not oienly charged. It 1s Intimat
ed tha the crook# of Chicago exist and
the dives wrier© money, reputation and
life ar© nightly lost, thrive and flourish,
with the active en-ouragr-ment or through
th# passive indifference of ihe police.
Chief Kt|>ley left Chicago at**ml two

public morals. When he left It was ©aid
that he had got out of th* way to avoid

The gue.-is .mandoned their dinners
when the flames burnt out In the kit* hen

Proprietor Hicks was naturally some

An effort will to mad* to organise a
now conqainy of infantry In Savannah to
to attached to the First Regiment. This
was decided at a meeting of the officers
of the First Battalion held last night at
the Regimental Armory. Nearly all the
officers seemed to enter with alacrity Int
the plan piv.pnwrd by Col. T. 8. Wvlly.
Jr., for the organisation of anew com
pany, and they are sanguine of comptoe
success.
A committee was appointed to consider
the selection of officers for the new com
pany. This committee consist# of Col.
Wylly, Capt. D. V. Ul©-t#on of th© Irish
Ja.iper Greens, Capt. J. T. West of th©
Savannah Cadets. Capt. C. II Ron etna nn
of the German 4'olunteers and ('apt. G.
A. Gordon of the Oglethorpe Light In
fantry- The committee will have a meet
ing this afternoon for a discuxslon of
available timber, and It la believed it will
have It# report In readiness by the next
trusting of the officers of the battalion,
which will to held next Friday night at
the Regimental Armory.
Col. Wylly told lh© officers that he be
• teved there Would not be the slightest
trouble In organising another company
Buch was hla Idea when he prof>o©d to
the Governor in Atlanta la.-a week that
• his to a part of the plan for the re-es
tablishment of the regiment upon the
same footing It occupied before th© pas
sage of he bin making the Bav tnnah \*ol
untecr Guards a battalion of heavy ar
tillery. He learned yesterday by letter
from Atlanta, he said, that a letter had
been received there from h Ravannuh man
by th© Gov**rnor. he Ravannaman ©tir
ing the Governor that If he were allowed
to go on with the work of organising a
n* w company h© could have It complete
within twenty-four hours.
Another |*art of the scheme for th# re
organisation of the rg>m*nt is to admit
three more out-of-town companies Al
ready there are three companies that form
a distinct battalion, the Third, the com
panies being at Waynesboro. Bt.n* .-toro
and lirun-wlck. Mount Vernon. Bwsine
boro and BylvanUi have applied for per
mission to organize companies, and the
Governor. Col. Wylly announc'd to th©
officers, had agreed to allow them to lo
m). When organised, the new companies
will to attached to the F'lrwi Infantry,
and they, with the new on© organised in
Bavannah. will lake the puce of th© four
companies of the Guards that have been
withdrawn from the regiaunt.
Warm competition t >r the place# l©f
vacant among th© sixty Infantry' com
panies all 'W< <| by law ha# existed, ami the
success of the three places named, all to
ing contiguous to Havannah, w'JI to i#*-
a(*(>o4n ting to others that -ought the privi
lege of establishing military commands.
It was thought that the companies should
to formed in this .mm©lJato section, such
being the plan of organiz itlon of the sev
eral regiments.
Home discussion of tto proposition to
divide the five companies of the First
Battalion into other huttalioh* was pro
voked at the meet mg MaJ. 44*. L Gray
son ffoex not approve th© Idea of n di
vision. desiring to hav# the integrity of
the old organization maintained. In th #
he Is support'd by some of th# offl#*T->.
and it will to Interesting to observe Just
what decision with regard to 4hls will
eventually l>© reached. It la thought th©
majority of the officers will concur with
Col. Wylly' and that the division of the
tort a lion for purposes of administration
will to eff#c#*d. Col. Wylly would like
to have the five companies of the battal
ion and the one to to organized here
formed Into battalion# of two com
panies each. It is also a part of hi# plan
to have two out-of-town companies •-
4 ached to e<t h of the h.ittal.on*. giving
each four romimnles.
