Hoo.evelt Want, to Come to Geor-
Ulu-Hio Policy an Uncertain
Quantity in Cal. Le.ter’a View.
Col Rufus E. Lester, representative
lrt Congress from this district, after an
chsonce from the city covering more
tiuui three months, during which time
he has travelled over the entire west
ern half of the country, returned to
Savannah yesterday morning. He
brought with him the cheering an
nouncement that the project giving
Savannah twenty-eight feet of water
from the western v.’harves to the sea
te certain to receive the approval of
congress at the next session.
The bill will pass,” said Col. Lester.
••In my opinion there is no doubt on
the subject. The project which Is to
give the harbor twenty-eight feet of
water will be approved by Congress
and the bill approving it will carry
a sufficient appropriation to make the
success of the project assured. The
project to be provided for in the bill
that Congress will pass is that ap
proved by the chief of engineers some
tme ago. The present channel is not
only to be given depth of twenty-eight
feet from the city to the bar, but it is
to be widened considerably in accord
ance with the project."
Col Lester spoke with every con
fidence. and he ought to know whereof
he speaks. He has Just returned from
a trip to the seaports of the Pacific
coaßt made with a number of other
members of the River and Harbor
Committee of Congress. The harbor
improvements on the other side of the
continent were carefully inspected and
there is little reason to doubt that
those on this side were Just as care
fully discussed. Col. Lester did not
say from what source he was enabled
to speak with so much confidence, but
it is only reasonable to suppose that
he has the assurance of the members
of the committee that the project for
the improvement of this harbor will
have their hearty support.
Indeed, the project was approved and
favorably reported by the committee
at the last session of Congress. It
passed the House and would have
passed the Senate had it not been for
the vocal gymnastics of Senator
Carter, of Montana, who stood up in
his place in the senate chamber and
talked the bill to death:—
“Who up and down his avVkward
arm did sway
“And calmly spout and spout and
spout away,
“In one weak, washy, everlasting
flood.”
Col. Lester says the bill will pass and
that Savannah will get the water that
its growing commercial and maritime
importance give it a right to demand.
While he was in Washington, a few
days since, Col. Lester had a talk with
President Roosevelt. It was then, as
has been announced in the Morning
News, that he extended the President
an invitation to be present at the
centennial celebration of the organi
zation of the Savannah Volunteer
Guards Battalion, that will take place
next May.
President Roosevelt told Col. Lester
that it was impossible for him to say
what he would be able to do so far
ahead and that he could not make
positive promisee. He said he would
visit the South, and Georgia especially,
before the end of his term, hut that he
could not say Just when it would be.
Col. Lester has a high admiration
and respect for the President and
believes the South has nothing to fear
from his accession to the chief magis
tracy of the nation. He thinks that
President Roosevelt will do absolutely
and to the best of his rare ability
what he believes will be for the best
Interests of the whole country.
“I don’t know Just what his policy
is going to be,” said Col. Lester. “All
he has said on the subject is that he
is going to carry out the policy of
President McKinley, and I don’t know
what that means. I fancy that if he
means what he says he will find the
effort a matter of considerable dif
ficulty and that if the country tries to
predict results it will undertake a
hopeless task."
'There were some ocasional changes
in the policy of the late president.”
"Why, so there were,” said Col.
Lester.
Col. Lester will be In the city until
the next sessioh of Congress which
will convene on the first Monday In
December and Col. Lester will leave
Savannah a few days hefore that
time, so as to attend meetings of com
mittees of which he is a member. He
has been away from the city since
June 3.

EXHIBITS KEEP COMING.
Keen Interest In the Fair Is Shown
All Over the State.
The indications are that the State
Fair croakers will have little chance
to say “I told you so.” It will be re
called that the cry from many has
been that Savannah, a seaport city, is
too far out of the way, too distant
from the agricultural centers, to be an
attractive place for the State Fair. It
was urged that up-country people and
those of the South Georgia would not
visit the city, because it was too far
away.
These prophecies are in a fair way
to fail, if the people did not intend to
come and if they were not interested,
they certainly would not undertake to
get so many of their county exhibits
entered for the rich premiums that
have been offered. Twelve counties
have been heard from, and there are
more expected.
Never has there been a State Fair
in Macon, in Atlanta, in Augusta, In
Valdosta or anywhere, where such
brilliant promise for agricultural ex
hibits was enjoyed so far ahead of the
date of the opening. Camden, Brooks,
Spaulding, Bartow, Cobb, Dodge, Sum
ter, Bulloch, Effingham, Worth, Pulas
ki-all have been heard from, and they
want space for their exhibits. This
shows clearly enough that there is in
terest In the great event that Savan
nah is preparing for its visitors.
A report comes from Brunswick to
show that great interest in the Fair
is felt there. Mr. W. T. Christopher,
advertising agent for the Fair has
been there, and his talks with promi
nent men convinced him that aid for
the enterprise may be expected from
Brunswick. It is very probable, Mr.
Christopher writes, that Glynn county
will make an exhibit. A meeting of
the Board of Trade of Brunswick has
been held, and a committee has been
named to look after a county display.
General Manager A. B. Moore of
the Fair returned yesterday from At
lanta. He found the people with whom
he came in contact interested in the
Fair, and it is clear to Mr. Moore that
there will be a large attendance.
The privilege to Yun bars, restau
rants and cigar stands at the Fair
grounds has been disposed of to Mr.
M. B. Ehrlicher, who will endeavor to
give the visitors a good service.
A representative of the Canton Car
nival Company was in the city yes
terday, seeking to close a contract-with
the Fair Association. The concern is
a Midway organization, embracing
many attractions. The general man
ager will talk the matter over with
the company’s representative.
George Thompson, colored, who lives
near Savannah, has determined to
make an exhibit of tobacco grown on
his place. The leaf seems excellent.
FIGHTERS IN FINE FORM.
Tha Corrornn-Burke Bout Protnl.es
to Bea Crackerjack.
Jim Burke, of New York, and Tommy
Corcoran; of Savannah, who will meet
for a 25-round bout in the Theater to
morrow night, will finish their training
to-day. Practically the men have al
ready finished and each is In the pink
of condition. .They will be weighed
in to-morrow afternoon at 3 o'clock,
and each, aeording to the articles, will
tip the scales at 145 pounds.
Corcoran, as all his friends know, has
improved a great deal since his former
bout with Burke; he can stand as
much punishment as formerly and has
the further advantages of having
learned that the whole of boxing does
not consist of punching and being
punched. He has learned to use his
feet, and Burke, when he meets him
in the ring, will find that he has as
clever, shifty and determined boxer to
go up against as any that he has ever
before met.
Neither is Burke any slouch at the
game. He proved that fact when he
met Corcoran before, and has since em
phasized it In the many bouts that he
has taken part In, and which have
taught him, too. much about the game
that he did not know when he made
his appearance here before. Should he
win this bout he will remain in Savan
nah. v
Both Corcoran and Burke are after
big game for succeeding matches. It
is understood that the winner will im
mediately challenge Jack Bennett for
a match, to take place later in the win
ter, and Owen Zeigler, also, it Is stated,
will receive a challenge.

t IN POLICE COURT.
Negro tnrneil Over to Superior
Court for Robbery.
At yesterday’s session of Police Court
Willie Williams, colored, was remand
ed for trial in the Superior Court for
larceny from the house. The negro
was arrested by Detective Murphy for
robbing the residence of Mr. I. Frank
several days ago. The prisoner refused
to make a statement, and the evidence
against him was strong. Among other
things taken from the house by Wil
liams, was a diamond pin, which was
recovered by the detective.
Ida Miller and Ella Mclntosh, two
negro women arrested by the same de
tective for robbing a country negro,
were remanded for trial on a charge
of vagrancy. The man who was rob
bed was not present to appear against
the women, although the commission
of the crime was not dented.
The case against Jim Saul, a negro
arrested by Patrolman Hicks for the
larceny of brass, was continued.
Henry Henderson, colored, was sen
tenced to serve thirty days on the
chalngang for assaulting Patsey But
ler.
Dan Washington, colored, was re
manded for trial in the City Court for
the larceny of clothing and two razors.
The negro was arrested as he left the
vessel, by Capt. J. E. Andrews.

THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY. OCTOBER 6. 1901.
HEAVY VOTING LIST
0,374 QUALIFIED VOTERS FOR PRI
MARY ELECTION.
SURPRISE TO THE PROPHETS.
MANY ESTIMATED THE NUMBER
WOULD BE SMALLER BY 2,000.
Plans ot Campaign Must Be Changed

ner In the Primary la Likely to
Receive 2,000 Votes, Instead ot
1,500, as Hum Been Thought
Enough—New Votera Added to Llat
Account for Discrepancy Between
Estimates and Facts—'Third Dis
trict Makes Big Showing—The
“Glorlons Fourth’’ Tarns ( Up With
2,050 Nantes to its Credit.
There will be 6,374 qualified voters at
the primary election for ordinary next
Thursday. There are that many white
voters on tiie registration lists for the
last general election with those who
have registered since that time. All of
these w'ho agree to support the nomi
nee of the primary will be entitled to
vote.
The announcement of this number of
voters will be a source of considerable
surprise to some of the politicians, who
have been figuring on the vote at the
primary. During the last several days
it has been talked constantly on the
streetß that the number of white qual
ified voters at the primary would not
exceed 4,200 and those who have pre
dicted that more than 3,700 votes would
be cast at the primary have been look
ed upon as just a little off their base.
It has been announced that from 1,-
500 to 1,800 votes would be a number
amply sufficient to Insure the election
of any candidate and that any one of
them who could get that number could
feel that he had the office in his pocket.
The supporters of some of the can
didates have been figuring freely on
this basis and offering to show from
Just what sources this number of votes,
supposed to cinch the election, would be
secured.
It is evident that all of these calcu
lations will have to be gone over
again. It is reasonably certain that it
will require 2,000 votes to elect, or at
any rate that the winner will receive
that number, and some new plans of
campaign will have to be arranged, in
order to meet and provide for the new
conditions with which the candidates
will be confronted.
The trouble with these political pro
phets has been that they have not fig
ured on the fact that a large number
of those recently registered were not
'registered at the time of the last gen
eral election. They have taken it for
granted that just about the same per
sons were getting on the list. They will
be aware this morning that new blood
has been injected into the campaign.
It is the blood of voters, however, and
not of candidates.
A surprising feature of the campaign
Is the number of voters who have
qualified in the Third and Fourth dis
tricts. The Third district is that in
which the Law and Order people have
their principal strength and when that
agitation was in fiercest progress a
large number of its sympathizers qual
ified to vote. The showing is scarcely
less remarkable in the Fourth, where
the qualified voters number 2,059.
The arrangement of the boxes, which
has been made by Mr. A. L. Alexand
er, acting chairman of the executive
committee of the party in Chatham
county, is as announced as the proba
ble arrangement in the Morning News
last Friday. There have been some
changes made in the division of the
voters in each district, the large addi
tions to the registration having made
this necessary. The number of voters
at each box in each district, with the
tctal number of vote# in each district
and the total number in the county, is
as follows:
First District-
Box 1, A to G, inclusive 628
Box 2, H to N, inclusive 485
Box 3, O to Z, inclusive 473
Total 1,486
Second District-
Box 1, A to K, inclusive 496
Box 2. L to Z, Inclusive 505
Total 1.001
Third District-
Box 1, A to K, inclusive 757
Box 2. L to Z, inclusive 709
Total 1t466
Fourth District —
Box 1, A to G, inclusive 756
Box 2, H to N, inclusive 673
Box 3, O to Z, inclusive 630
Total 2,059
Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and Eighth
districts 302
Grand total 6,374
The names of the managers and
clerks for the election, who are to be
selected by the candidates, must be
placed in the hands of Acting Chair
man Alexander by noon to-morrow.
Under the rules adopted by the Execu
tive Committee each candidate has a
right to name one manager and one
clerk for each box.
Mr. Alexander said yesterday that
he will not attempt to select from the
names furnished him by the candi
dates the manager and clerk to repre
sent each of them at each box, but will
permit the candidates to make this se
lection themselves. The boxes have
been located and each candidate may
say who shall represent him as man
ager and who as clerk.

OPENED THE ALLEYS.
Many Gathered at Tomochlehl Clnto
for Bowlin*.
The splendidly-equipped bowling al
leys of the Tomochichl Club were op
ened to the members last night. They
were used for the first time since their
completion. Great satisfaction with the
alleys was expressed by all who used
them, and it is clear that there Is
every chance for the alleys becoming
one of the most popular features of
the club.
Many members dropped in during the
evening for a trial of the alleys. Sides
were chosen, and opportunity was given
all to play. The utmost care had been
employed in the construction of the
alleys, and every details Is such as to
thoroughly satisfy the most fastidious
player. , .
Through consideration for the neigh
bors, the committee of members that
had in hand the construction of the
alleys saw to it that every precaution
against noise was taken. The alleys are
laid on a concrete foundation, which
makes the rolling practically noiseless.
The walls are deadened, and thick pad
ding is behind the pins, receiving the
balls without a sound. About the only
noise is that caused by the Impact of
the balls against the pins. Even
though continued until late at night, it
is claimed that bowling at the Tomo
chlchi Club will not disturb any who
live in the immediate neighborhood.
The alleys are on the lot that has
been unimproved, occupying the space
between the Guards' Arsenal and
Charlton street. The club expended
$2,000 in their construction.
The opening was made a sort of gala
occasion among the "Indians.” An ex
cellent lunch was spread by the House
Committee, and an orchestra furnished
music throughout the evening.

JOKES GOT ’EM THE CARPET.
Nnmbers of Tickets Being Sold for
Rev. Sam Jones’ Lecture.
The movement to have Rev. Sam P.
Jones deliver a lecture Oct. 18 is meet
ing with all the success that was an
ticipated, and the sale of tickets Al
ready guarantees that he will have a
large audience.
The lecture is to be given for the ben
efit of Grace and Epworth Methodist
Churches, and will be held in Guards'
Hall. It is expected that the subject
of the lecture will be "Chan&cter,” said
to be one of Mr. Jones’ most original
and finest efforts.
In connection with this lecture It may
not be malapropos to repeat a story of
Rev. Jones that recently reached Sa
vannah. It seems that the noted re
vivalist and lecturer had been invited
to visit a small city of the interior to
lecture for a church that hoped to se
cure enough from the entertainment to
be able to buy anew carpet for the
church. In some way his Information
reached Mr. Jones who made no com
ment, but bided hls time.
The church numbers In its congrega
tion some very wealthy men, and these,
of course, with the remainder of the
congregation, attended the letture.
This was as Mr. Jones had exoected.
and so when he came On the stage to
begin hls address, he prefaced It with
a little address In which he told the
congregation, with hls characteristic
frankness, that he had learned why he
had been Invited, but could
not understand the necessity of
when there war "brother so-and-so,”
over there, pointing to one of the
wealthiest men of the city, who drove
a span of horses worth SI,OOO, and
brother "so-and-so,” over here, picking
out another member of the congrega
tion well endowed with ths world's
Roods, “who raises 800 bales of cot
ton," and In this manner holding up,
so to speak, to the gaze of half the
town, some half dozen of the best
known men In It. His parting shot was
the naive question. "Why do you need
me to help you get a carpet when you
have all of these wealthy men right In
your congregation?”
The lecture realized enough to get
the carpet, but if It hadn't the hunch
that Mr. Jones had picked out would
willingly have made up the difference;
probably would have bought anew
church building if requested, or any
thing else rather than have Rev.
Jones again hold them up to the public
and ask why they didn't do things.
