The annual election of principals and
teachers of the public schools took

Ferguson. In the High School the
principal and all the teachers were re
elected. Mr. M. M. Parks, who re

Mr. Griffith, who is at present prin

High School.
In the Anderson Street School the
principal and all the teachers were re

School all the teachers were again
chosen, but the election of the princi

ENGLISH CAPITAL
INVESTED IN SAVANNAH.
Three Englishmen Form Naval
Stores Company With Capital of
$50,000.
Recognizing the advantages offered
by Savannah as a turpentine and naval
stores port, three London capitalists,
Messrs. Frederick N. Garrard. Wil
liam Garrard and Edward A. Bevan,
have determined to Invest $50,000 in the
industry here.
The corporation which will be formed
by these gentlemen will be known
as the London-Savann*ah Naval Stores
Company. The principal place of do
ing business will be In Savannah.
Headquarters for the concern have not
yet been secured. Mr. William Gar
rard, representing the stockholders, is
in the city, at the He Soto.
The corporation will begin business
in the near future. Mr. Julius C.
Schwarz will be the manager. The
company will start business with a cap
ital stock of $50,000, but it is expected
that this will be enhanced. The amount
named has already been actually paid
in. The incorporators are members of
the Produce Brokers’ Company, Lim
ited, of London.
A petition for the incorporation of
the new enterprise 2 was filed in the
office of the clerk of the Superior Court
yesterday by Adams & Adams, who
represent the incorporators.
TREE NURSERY*'
WILL BE ESTABLISHED.
l*ark and Tree Commission to Have
Suitable Place.
A meeting of the Park and Tree
Commission was held yesterday at the
City Exchange and there were present
also members of the Board of County
Commissioners. The meeting was for
the purpose of discussing the transfer
to the city, for a limited period, of
about twenty acres of land in the Es
till tract, to be used as a tree nursery.
The land that will be used belongs
to the county and is entirely suitable
to the purposes for which it is desired.
The location selected is the northeast
ern corner, of the Estill Bark tract,
and already has a fine artesian well,
this having been bored at the direction
of Chairman Baffin, of the Park and
Tree Commission some years ago.
Chairman Baffin said that the place
was all right for a nursery and could
be prepared for the uses of the com
mission before the time for transplant
ing arrived. The trees now growing in
the improvised nursery back of Lau
rel Grove Cemetery would not he mov
ed until spring. The needs of a nursery
such as this have been felt for some
time, as only the best results can be
obtained by such means.
WILL NOT RESIGN”
FROM PENSION BOARD.
Dr. R. S. Reid has been appointed to
succeed Dr. Harold L. Warwick, who
has resigned as a member of the Roaid
of Pension Examiners. The memoers
of the board now are Drs. Reid, Gra
ham and Corbin.
The report that Hr. St. J. B. Gra
ham has resigned from the board is
without foundation. Hr. Graham has
never resigned. He is now in Ken
tucky, and will return in a few days.
The duties which will devolve upon
Hr. Reid at his new post will be the
examination of all applicants for pen
sions.

BENNETT RELEASED
UNDER SI,OOO BAIL
Condition of Wonnded Men In
Bryan-Doss Affair.
James T. Bennett, who has been held
in jail for the past three days as an
outcome of the shooting affray in Gad
Bryan's saloon Monday morning, was
released under SI,OOO bail yesterday.
E. C. Gleason stood his bond.
An application was made to Judge
Barrow in the morning for admission
to bail by D. C. Barrow, Esq., Ben
nett's attorney, but this was denied,
no physician’s certificate being pre
sented. Litter a certificate, stating
that the condition of Evans, whom
Bennett acknowledges he shot, was
such as to warrant the release of the
accused, was presented, and Bennett
was forthwith released.
When he was released he was pre
sented with a fat roll of bills, which
had been taken from him when he
was first arrested. A bullet had torn
its way through the center of the wad,
and disfigured the specie considerably.
This money was given to Bennett by
Brvan shortly after the shooting. Bry
an accounts for the holes by the state
ment that the money was in his hip
pocket.
Bennett was a happy man when he
emerged from his cell. To a reporter
of the Morning News he stated that it
was only the assurance of his inno
cence that prevented mortification.
This, he said, was the second time
within a few months that he had been
arrested. On both occasions, he said,
he had done no wrong. The other time
which he referred to was his arrest as
a cheat and swindler. On the prelim
inary hearing he was discharged, there
being no evidence to sustain the charge.
There has been no change in the con
dition of any of the wounded men.
Evans is still in a precarious condition,
and the attending physician, Dr. Nor
ton, states that it will be several days
yet before he anticipates any change.
The patient suffers much pain, the
wound being through his lung. He is
forbidden to talk about the affair in
which be was shot.
Doss is confined at the same house
with Evans. His injury, while not
dangerous, has caused him much suf
fering. The fever which he had on
the day previous disappeared yesterday,
and it is expected that he will be out
in a few days.
Bryan is still confined at St. Joseph’s
Infirmary, where it is stated his con
dition is practically unchanged.
AUTOMOBILE PEOPLE
WILL MAKE PROTEST.
Don’t Want Speed Restricted to a
I)ok Trot.
People interested in automobiling In
Savannah, and the number is consider
able, are all Interested in the bill now
in the Georgia Legislature, which pro
poses to limit the sped of machines in
the cities and country to eight -and
fifteen miles, respectively. This would
be a great blow to the sport, which Is
now assuming large proportions in Sa
vannah, and as far as the local en
thusiasts can see, has been a harmless
pastime.
Savannah, with more machines than
all the other Southern cities put to
gether. can show almost a clean rec
ord. There Is no knowledge of any
serious accident —not a life has been
lost, directly or indirectly, connected
with automobiling. Some few runa
ways occurred when the autos first
came, and some accidents to machines
in the hands of amateurs too confident.
The usual number of "long walks home’’
after a punctured tire and some
scratched faces after an attempt to
make too short a turn without stow
ing up are told of; but these are not
of consequence. *
Within the last few months a man
was killed by a collision with a bicy
cle, and a small boy had his arm
broken by being run over by a grocer’s
wagon—but the autos have behaved
beautifully.
A strong petition, numerously sign
et}, will be sent to Atlanta protesting
against Mr. Calvin's bill. The owners
and users of autos will ask that the
speed allowances be eight miles for
city driving and twenty miles for
country roads. The petition will be
circulated for signatures to-day.
FOUR
BIG AUTOMOBILES.
Largest Shipment Ever Made to a
Single Dealer Anywhere Comes In
u k’ew Dnys.
What is clatmed to be the largest
shipment of Cadillac tonneaus ever
shipped to any dealer In the world will
be received in Savannah in a few days
from the manufacturers in Detroit.'
Three carloads of the big machines
will represent the size of the shipment.
Mr. Vince Connerat returned yester
day from a trip to Detroit and Buffalo.
He states that he made an inspection
of the Cadillac factories in Detroit,
and that he was told that the factories
turned out more big machines, than any
other three concerns in the world.
The shipments of autos will be aug
mented by the receipt of a carload of
Pierce Stanhopes from Buffalo, which’
Mr. Connerat ordered when he was in
that city. The consignment, he says,
constitutes the largest ever received
by a single dealer in the South, and
bespeaks the popularity of Savannah
as an automobile center.
KNOCKED DOWN*BY~
A RUNAWAY TEAM.
Henry Marlin, an old negro Vege
table vender, was injured by a run
away team on West Broad street yes
terday afternoon. Marlin was Cross
ing the street, and in his feebleness
was unable to get out of the path of
the runaway. He was carried to his
home, near by, and upon examination
it was found that his injuries were
Internal and may prove fatal.
LOOKED~OVER THE
GROUND PLANS.
The Building Committee of City
Council had a lengthy meeting and
conference In the Mayor’s office yester
day morning. The ground plans of
the new city hall were examined and
discussed at some length. The eleva
tions have not been prepared by the
architect, and the plans will have to
come up again, more than once, before
they are finally approved.

ON AGENT’S REPORT
DEPENDS TARIFF ASSOCIATION’S
ACTION IN’ REGARD TO RATES.
TO MAKE TEST THIS WEEK
OF BOTH THE WATER AND THE
FIRE DEPARTMENTS.
These Announcements Made nt
Meeting of Chamber of Commerce
Water Committee and Agents of
Tariff lMMOcintinn Yesterday—May
or Myers Promises Every Facility
for the Desired Tests—Secretary*
C. C. Fleming Announced New
Tariff Is Being Preimreil for Sa
vannah and Other Cities—Chamber
of Commerce Will Seek to Have
15 Per Cent. Hemoved Immediately
After Test Is Made.
Savannah may get a lower rate on
fire Insurance but whether it does or
not depends upon the report that will
be made to the Executive Committee of
the Southeastern Tariff Association by
Inspector Lawton after he has made
an Inspection of both the fire depart
ment and the water department of the
city.
This was stated at the meeting of
the Water Committee of Chamber of
Commerce yesterday. Secretary C. C.
Fleming of the Southeastern Tariff As
sociation and Inspector Lawton were
present as were a number of local bus
iness men, among them Messrs. Leo
pold Adler, chairman of the Water
Committee; Lee Roy Myers, William
Kehoe, J. I). Carswell and F. C. Bat
tey of the same committee; W. L. Wil
son, W. T. Hopkins, R. J. Davant, W.
M. Coney, W. F. Daniel, George S.
Haines, Herman Myei*3 and J. H.
Estill.
All matters relating to Insurance in
Savannah were gone into. Mr. Fleming
stated that the association is now pre
paring anew tariff for most of the
cities in its territory which means that
Savannah will be given anew rating.
He stated, however, that the first and
best thing to be done for the removal
of the 15 per cent, is to have the wa
ter and fire departments inspected.
Mayor Myers stated that authority
to do this would be given by the city
and that the chief of the fire depart
ment would be instructed to give the
inspector ever aid in this work. In
spector Lawton will begin the inspec
tion this week, and will make it a most
thorough one, testing fire plugs in ev
ery part of the city. It is expected
that it will take him a week to com
plete the work.
If the inspection shows the depart
ments to be in good condition and
there is little doubt that it will, the
Chamber of Commerce will immediate
ly take up the matter of having the
15 per cent, removed without waiting
to have the new tariff announced.

Finest Georgia Fenchea Now on the
Stands.
Fruit stands are now showing some
fine specimens of the famous El
bertas and some other varieties of
Georgia peaches. The fruit seems to
be in good condition and will no doubt
soon be plenty. Elbertas are selling,
both on the streets and on the stands,
at 35 cents per basket, and other va
rieties bring from 25 to 30 cents.
The Georgia peaches have ctitme in
at a good time, for there is but little
other fruit in sight. A few bananas
are seen and some plums and a few
very poor oranges. The fruit stands
needed the peaches and watermelons
very badly and are now ’looking up
again.

Senior null Junior Members Will
Spend a Week nt Warsaw.
The members of the Y. M. C. A.,
both the juniors and the seniors, will
go down to Warsaw on the 15th for a
week's outing. It was originally in

CARTER SAYS HE'S COMING
BACK TO SAVANNAH.
Detective Thomas Hewitt has re
turned from the Convention of Chiefs
of Police whach was held in New Or
leans last week. While there he be
came acquainted with all of the lead
ing police authorities throughout the
Union.
Among the most Interesting men that
he met was Warden McGlaury of Leav
enworth prison. The warden told De
tective Hewitt he might expect to see
Oberlin M. Carter .walking the streets
of Savannah a short time after
Thanksgiving Day. On that day Car
ter wfll be released from custody, and,
according to the story brought by De
tective Hewitt, will come soon after
to Savannah.
Carter’s intention to move back to
Savannah has been reported before In
the Morning News. When Mr. H. G.
Stone, _hls leading counsel, was here a
short time ago, he said that his client
was anxious to come back to Savan
nah. The report brought by the de
tective from the Leavenworth warden
but verifies the assertion.

HIS CUSTOMERS, IT IS STATED.
Illicit Truffle Conducted for Some
Twelve Yearn—Goods Received by
Express Comtiltneil to Fictitious
I’ernon* and Receipted for by
Brinson—Prisoner Asked Inimedi
nte Hearing, bat 'Will Not Get it
Till Monday—Witnesses for Pros
ecution Summoned from Tampa,
Port Tampa and Philadelphia.
Case Worked Ip by Treasury
Agent Macatee and L. S. Attorney
W. R. Leuken.
Judson G. Brinson, a clerk of the At
lantic Coast Line, was arrested yes
terday morning by United States au
thorities charged with smuggling ci
gars into this country from Cuba. This
illicit business, it is claimed by C. A.
Macatee, special agent of the Treas
ury Department, has been going on for
some twelve years, though in its prose
cution the government will make no
effort to go farther back than three
years as any violation of the law prior
to that time is covered by the statue
of limitations.
The case has been carefully worked
up by Mr. Macatee, assisted by Mr.
W. R. Leaken, United States district
attorney. They had secured all the
evidence necessary for their purpose
and were prepared to arrest Brinson
Monday but Mrs. Brinson, the wife of
the prisoner having died and the re
mains being taken to Wilmington for
burial, accompanied by Brinson, it was
decided to wait for the return of the
man wanted before taking him in cus
tody.
To guard against accidents, however,
Messrs. Macatee and Leaken had
Brinson carefully watched while in
Wilmington for fear that he might
suspect that he was wanted and give
the authorities the slip. He apparent
ly feared nothing, however, for he re
turned night before last. He was at
work whan arrested.
Brinson, when taken before Com
missioner E. C. Ryals, secured Col. R.
L. Colding to represent him and was
prepared for an immediate hearing.
This, however, at the instance of the
United States authorities, was post
poned until Monday at noon. The de
lay is necessary that witnesses for the
prosecution may be secured from Phil
adelphia, Tampa and Port Tampa.
Brinson was committed to jail, being
unable to furnish the $5,000 bond re
quired to escape confinement pending
his hearing.
Brinson, when he receives this hear
ing, will be confronted with a number
of charges. One of them is that Jan.
19, 1903, he received through the South
ern Express Company, and signed for,
a sealed valise addressed to Miss Lula
Slow, and that Feb. 16, also of this
year, he received and signed for a
sealed package, also sent by the ex
press company, addressed to J. H.
Mann.
It Is charged that no such persons
live in Savannah, and that the valise
and package contained smuggled ci
gars, the first twenty pounds of them,
and the second fourteen pounds. Even
should the prisoner escape the charge
of smuggling goods, or receiving, con
cealing or disposing of them, with each
of which he is charged, he will still
have to answer for retailing manufac
tured tobacco without a license.
It is said Brinson had a number of
customers, some twenty or thirty, and
that they are many of them well
known business men. They, tod, are
amenable to the law and their names
will probably be presented to the next
grand jury of the United States Court.
Because of his interest in the case
Mr. Leaken, who had intended leaving
the city night before last, postponed
his departure until the arrest should
be made. He will doubtless conduct the
case for the government when it shall
come to trial.

SEEMED HOT, BUT
MERCURY ONLY 89.
The population of Savannah was
very nearly in union yesterday when
singing "ain’t it hot.” Between the
hours of noon and 2 p. m. there were
any amount of citizens who would
have wagered all kinds of Confederate
money that the thermometers would
have to be extended if such a rise was
followed, and others who thought the
boiling point was almost touched.
That it was hot at midday, and again
during the late afternoon, when the
correct imitation of a thunder storm
appeared in the west, and then disap
peared without even helping the house
holders by sprinkling the lawns.
The Fourth of July, from all tradi
tion should be hot, and those who were
out yesterday morning thought that
the weather was warming up for the
fourth—and yet the records in the
Weather Bureau show 89 degrees as a
maximum. That is very little comfort
for the people who lost two or three
pounds by evaporation, and it is like
ly that some will insist that, like the
sums that come wrong at school, “it
was wrong in the book.” The little
tubes up on the postoffice are not in
fluenced by the breezes, however, and
the very light wind yesterday was
partly the reason for the great oppres
sion felt by those who were out and
about at midday.
