PARKER CLUB
FOR SAVANNAH
CALL IS BEING PREPARED.
CONSERVATIVE DEMOCRATS SEE
VICTORY IN NEW YORK JUDGE.
Call for Meeting at WliielaClob Will
Elect Temporary Officer* Will Be
Issued Within Next Day or Two.
nuslness Men Will Work lor Par
ker’* Interests—Prominent Naval
Store* Factor, Just Back Ironi
New York, Sny* Parke* Will Win,
a* Well a* Get Nomination.
Plans are already being made for the
organization of a Parker Club in Sa
vannah and the call for a meeting will
probably be issued to-day or to-mor
row.
It is expected that before the end
of the week there will be a general
scramble to get into the Parker band
wagon, since the prevailing opinion
now Is that Judge Parker will be the
Democratic nominee for President.
At the preliminary meeting tem
porary officers will be chosen, and lat
er, a general meeting will be called,
at which permanent officers will be
elected. The call for the first meet
ing will be sent out within the next
day or two, and prominent business
men will be asked to attend.
Strong Parker Sentiment Here.
There has been a strong Parker
sentiment in Savannah all along and
since it has been practically determin
ed that Cleveland will not make the
race, the Parker forces have increas
ed materially.
The conservative element in Savan
nah is behind Judge Parker almost to
a man and, too, some of those who
were for Hearst a few months ago
now realize that the newspaper man
has no chance of securing the
nomination, and is not even looked
upon seriously in his own state.
Will Be Next Pre*lleiit.
‘‘Judge Parker will not only be the
Democratic nominee, but he will be
the next President,” said a prominent
naval stores factor who has just re
turned from New York, where he
spent several weeks. “I found that
the rank and file of Tammany is for
Parker in preference to all others,
and I don’t know just what little
game the leaders are playing with
their Cleveland talk. Of course, it
Is realized now that Cleveland is out
of the question.
‘‘But the hold Judge Parker has on
the Democratic forces in New York
is really wonderful and New York will
support him solidly. And he will be
elected as well as (nominated. Of
course, there is no question since the
death of Hanna, that Roosevelt will
get the P-epubliean nomination, and
from all I can gather he cannot win.
He is becoming more unpopular daily
and many of those in his own ranks
will not vote for him.
Heaml In Aot In It.
"Hearst i# not to be considered at
all. His candidacy is simply laugh
ed at in the North. He is not taken
seriously although he has occasioned
considerable talk throughout the coun-
I trv.
u "Really Hearst made a great mis
take. He has been almost invaluable
to the Democratic party and will prob
ably continue to be. But he should
have run for Mayor of New York be
fore tackling anything so big as a
presidential nomination.”
DISAPPOINTED BY
BAND’S FAILURE TO PLAY.
Casino I’alrous Carried “Ihe Scowl
That Won’t Come Off.”
There were between 200 and 300 dis
appointed people at the Thunderbolt
Casino yesterday afternoon.
The afternoon itself was not very in
viting, and but for the fact that ‘‘the
regular Sunday afternoon orchestra
concert,' had been advertised,not many
would have made the trip
The orchestra put in its appearance
on time, but the instruments were not
even tuned up. Somebody decided that
there would be no concert, although
no announcement of the fact was ever
made. Then the musicians piled into
a car and came back to the city.
Some of the patrons of the resort let
out a few notes, but there was discord
after discord, and it was anything but
music to the ears of the management.
‘The Scowl That Won’t Wear Off”
seemed to be the popular air, al
though “Ain’t It a Shame,” ‘‘Wait Till
the Clouds Roll By” and “Who Threw
Those Overalls into the Leader’s Cor
net’ were melodies that had friends.
COMMITTEE T(TmEET
ABOUT POOR HOUSE.
Mayor Will Probably Call a Meeting
Thin Week.
A meeting of the special committee
of Council, appointed to arrange with
the County Commissioners for the es
tablishment of a poor house on the
County Farm, will probably be called
this week, Mayor Myers said last night.
The Mayor says efforts will be made to
get something accomplished at once.
The poor house was suggested by
the Mayor in his annual message over
a year ago, and a committee was aft
erwards appointed to look into the mat
ter, but nothing was ever accomplish
ed. The matter was recently revived
by Alderman Davant. who introduced
a special resolution In Council, ask
ing that a committee be appointed to
confer with the comrfilesioners.
One conference has already taken
place, and the county officials appeared
as much In favor of the plan as the
Mayor and aldermen, but no agreement
was reached. At the next meeting
the matter will probably be gone into
more in detail.
ONE-LEGGED NEGR(T~
ROBBED PASSENGER.

PAWNBROKER MATTER
NOT UP TO POLICE.
Queitlon Referred to City Attorney
for an Opinion.
"It’s not up to us.”
This is what the police authorities
say about the pawnbroker situation,
which has been agitating the retail
merchants so much.
Evidence in one case was secured
and presented to the Mayor, and the
case was referred to the city attorney
for an opinion. The police Bay evidence
can be easily secured in a number of
other cases, but there is no need to
do so until the one now under con
sideration is settled.
The merchants are complaining that
the pawnbrokers sell new goods, goods
that have never been left in pledge
with them. One case was found where
a small stock of shoes had been pawn
ed to one of the brokers. The police
secured the evidence that the broker
was selling new shoes. He showed
that they had been pawned. The mat
ter was referred to the city attorney,
und Col. Garrard has not yet rendered
an opinion.
There is no doubt that the pawning
of stocks of goods to the pawn brokers
is merely an evasion of the law. but it
is not known whether the practice can
be stopped.
WILL DEMOLISH* OLD
EXCHANGE THIS WEEK.
Work Will Be Started To-dny and
Carried on Rapidly.
The real demolishing of the City
Exchange will begin to-day.
The building will be torn down as
rapidly as possible, as the contracting
company wants to get to work on the
new structure at the earliest possible
time. The company has entered into
a contract to finish the new building
by Feb. 1, 1905, and in order to do so
the work will have to be pushed very
rapidly.
The bond of the contracting com
pany was accepted by the city last
Friday, and the building was turned
over to the company Saturday morn
ing at 9 o’clock. Saturday all insur
ance policies on the old building were
returned to the companies and can
celed. The city will receive a rebate
on all of these policies, though the
amount will not be as great as was at
first supposed.
The small United States flag that
has been seen over the Exchange for
the last few days was nailed there by
Mr. John Rourke. Mr. Rourke has
taken the flag down now. and will pre
serve it until the new building is fin
ished. He then proposes to put it on
the new building, before #ny other flag
is run up. As the last over the old.
building and the first over the new,
the flag will be kept as a relic.

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: MONDAY. MARCH 28. 1904.
ALMIGHTY’S HAND
GUIDING JAPAN
WILL MAKE NATION SUPREME.
REV. DR. McALPINE BELIEVES MI
KADO WILL CONQUER RUSSIA.
Tell* of Wonderful Advaneement
Little Nation Ha* Made—Japan
Will Heeoine Interpreter Between
We*t anil Ea*t—Safety of Mikado
Flr*t Thought of Native*—Japan
Love* America and Appreciate*
Sympathy In Present Conte*t.
JapancHe Idol* Displayed In
Church.
"God is the ruler and the keeper of
the destinies of all nations, and His
hand is guiding Japan in the present
conflict.
“He will make the little nation the
leader of thought in the Far East and
use it to promote His own Kingdom.”
In this way Rev. R. E. McAlpine,
who has recently returned from Ja
pan after a residence there of several
years opened his sermon at the First
Presbyterian Church last night.
He declared that men of all nations
were looking in astonishment at this
pigmy nation that is worsting the giant
Russia at every turn. Fifty years
ago Japan was as completely Oriental
as China, said Dr. McAlpine, and the
people worshiped the Mikado, the de
scendant of the ancient gods, they be
lieved.
Patriotism and loyalty, he said,
caused the Japanese to shut out all
the nations of the earth and seal their
gates, and the same reason was as
signed for opening their doors and
inviting the world to come in and give
them the advantage of modern in
ventions and modern civilization. He
declared they were greatly alarmed
for the safety of their Emperor when
Commodore Perry made them open
their gates to the world, but they now
realize that Perry was a savior in
disguise.
Strive* to Equal Other Natlona.
Dr. McAlpine said the first thought
of the Japanese is the safety of the
Mikado and when they were forced to
admit the world to their gates they
set out with the lofty ambition not to
allow any other nation to be their su
perior in modern ways and civilization.
They immediately set out to build a
navy, but their first equipment was
not worthy the name, and they soon
realized if they were to keep abreast
with modern advancement they must
educate their sons to build the proper
kind of battleships and to man them.
They sent their boys to Europe and
America, he declared, that they might
profit by the advancement of other na
tions and give to their native land the
benefit of this knowledge.
The next step taken by the progres
sive Japanese, Dr. McAlpine said, was
to establish daily, weekly and monthly
publications, and to cause the highest
grade of literature to be reproduced in
their native language. They then be
gan an educational crusade which has
revolutionized the little nation and
justly gained for it the title of being
the most progressive nation In the Far
East.
Postal System Excel* Oar Oxvn.
The postal system of Japan, he de
clared, was far ahead of that in our
own country. “Americans are bragging
on their wonderful hew system of rural
free delivery, when the little nation of
Japan has enjoyed this great boon for
many years before it was even agitated
in this country,” said the speaker. He
said that twenty years ago there were
not fifty miles of railroad in the whole
of Japan, and that to-day the country
is a net work of railroads, and their
steamships and their railway equip
ment compare well with that in this
country.
He declared that the Japanese real
ized that if they were to keep abreast
of the times they would be obliged to
abandon their old mode of dressing,
and adopt the more modern styles in
vogue in Europe and America. First,
he said, the American military uni
forms were adopted, and finally it
progressed until all the male citizens
were dressing in the same costumes as
their brothers in the West. The Jap
anese, however, he said, have been un
willing for their wives and daughters
to throw aside the Oriental style of
dress for the modern styles of Paris,
London and New York, They believe
that what was good enough for their
mothers and their grandmothers should
also do for their daughters and their
wives.
National Patriotism Hole* Japan.
"National patriotism is the ruling
spirit in Japan,” said Dr. McAlplne,
“and the public servants of the na
tion have not been slow to try to bring
all their institutions up to a point
equal to those in the countries of the
West. They have adopted all the
modern Improvements in the admini
stration of government and have ac
cepted the latest in science, medicine,
law, and other professions. In every
town in Japan can be found the law
yer, doctor, trained nurse, drug store
and other evidence of national pro
gress.
"Japan Is the Interpreter between the
West and the East and our only hope
to Christianize and civilize China,
and other Eastern countries, is through
the aid and assistance of the Japanese.
The morals of Japan are In keeping
with their religious faith and it fs
along these lines that the Japanese
must reform before they can rank as
a world power."
The speaker declared that Japan re
spected Europe, but loved America, and
the Japanese believe we are standing
by them in their present conflict. Dr.
McAlpine said they were a kind of
people that would never forget our
sympathy, and would always be friends
of America and Americans. He took
the position that when the trouble had
ceased, and Japan triumphed, as he
believed she would, Americans would
then be In a position to approach them
as brothers and urge them to lay aside
their worship of idols and accept the
true Christianity. He declared he be
lieved It only a question of time when
the little nation would accept Chris
tianity.
Dr. McAlplne displayed Japanese uni
forms and Japanese idols to the con
gregation. At the morning service he
preached on the advancement that was
being made in carrying the word of
God into the homes of the Japanese
and in the afternoon he delivered a
talk before the children of the Sun
day-school on the peculiarities and
customs of the Japanese.

CLOSING OF TERM
IN FEDERAL COURT.
Unlea* Session I* Prolonged, Calen
dar Cannot Be Cleared.
With only this week remaining for
this term of the United States District
and Circuit Court, it is evident that,
unless the session is prolonged, the
calendar cannot be cleared.
In view of the statement of Judge
Emory Speer that he would convene
court in Augusta on the first Monday
in April, it is probable that a number
of the cases now on the calendar will
go over until the November term.
This morning the case against W. E.
Moore, the Guyion colored attorney,
will be the first taken up. United
States Attorney Akerman announced
Saturday night that he would require
at least an hour in examining wit
nesses. Arguments of counsel will
then he made, the jury will be charg
ed, and the case given into its hands.
It is probable that this case will occu
py the greater part of to-day’s session.
On Wednesday the turpentine cases
will be taken up. The first cases of
this lot called will be those against
the Ellis-Young Company, the Peacock,
Hunt, West Company, and the Consol
idated Naval Stores Company. These
cases will require considerable time
before they can be disposed of.
The peonage cases are also still on
the calendar. Indictments have been
returned against J. M. Cobb, George
Hart, Crawley, McClellan, Williamson,
and the McLeods. No decision has yet
been handed down by the court, on the
demurrer presented in the case against
the McLeods and Williamson, which
was argued by COL P. W. Meldrim.
Cobb and Hart will probably be the
first to be tried. All of the defendants
are under bond, with the exception of
Hart, an<L.Xor_thi.s reason Judge Speer
stated the case against Hart would be
among the first to be tried, as he did
not desire to hold any person in cus
tody longer than was necessary.
On Wednesday the rule in contempt
brought against Attorney John E. My
rick will be argued. Saturday the
“shanghai” cases against Harry Olsen
are slated for trial. These cases will be
hard fought and will require several
days in the hearing. In addition to
these cases of more general interest,
there are several minor criminal mat
ters still unheard and considerable civ
il litigation.
Two important decisions will be
handed down by Judge Speer t,his
week. One is that regarding the le
gality of the Recorder sehding to the
chaingang summarily, and the other is
the decision in the "shark" case
against the Margherita.
DANGER OF FROST
IS NOW OVER.
Gradual Warming Up of Cold Area
Work* Against It.
There is now little danger of a
frost striking Savannah this morning,
though there is still the possibility
that it may do so. Conditions which
prevailed on Saturday night have
changed greatly, and a gradual warm
ing up is noticed at the stations in
the heart of the cold area.
At 8 o’clock yesterday morning a
high area was central In the region
extending from Montana to Missouri
and extending outward over the en
tire country, except the central Atlan
tic coast. A low area is central near
Wilmington, N. C. There have been
sudden changes in the high area in
the last thirty-six hours, and its in
tensity ha3 been gradually lost.
From a maximum barometric pres
sure on Saturday morning, at North
Platte, of 30.58 It had decreased to
a maximum Sunday morning at Kan
sas City, of 30.48. During the day
this still farther decreased and the
maximum barometric pressure last
night was 30.32 at Memphis. This
has been accompanied with a gradual
decrease In the intensity of the cold
area, weakening it from a minimum
of 8 degrees below zero at Miles City
on Saturday, to a minimum of zero
at Bismnrk, North Dakota, on Sun
day morning.
In the heart of the southern sec
tion of the country, for which frost
was predicted, there has also been a
gradual warming up. The two low
est temperatures in this section of the
country yesterday morning were at
Birmingham, and at Atlanta. At the
former mercury stood at 34 degrees,
and at the latter a temperature of
only 40, was recorded. Last night
Atlanta reported a temperature of 44
degrees.
In Savannah there was a gradual
cooling toward night, but it is not be
lieved <hat this will continue to the
temperature necessary for a frost. If
the conditions prevailing at 8 o’clock
last night should revert to the condi
tions of Saturday night, a frost is al
most certain. It is regarded as im
probable, though possible, that such a
reversion should occur.
WELL KNOWN ZIONISTS
TO SPEAK WEDNESDAY.
Will Be Heard at Synagogue of Con
gregation B. B. Jacob.
On Wednesday evening at 7 o’clock
Rev. Dr. M. Abrahamson of Boston
and Cantor D. Haber of New York will

who gave*a clever performance at the
Casino Saturday afternoon and even
ing, may be seen again at the resort

DRUNKEN NEGROES
IN BIG ROW
RIOT NARROWLY AVERTED.
THREE OFFICERS HELD UP MORE
THAN A HUNDRED.
There Hml Been a General Fight
anil Officer* Seonred Their Prison
er* Despite the Odd* Against
T'heni—Patrolman Brown Shot
Close to Two Negroes Who Had
Escaped to the Roof, and Made
Them Conic Down—Officer* Were
in Close Quarter* for a Time.
Only the nerve and coolness of the
officers on the scene prevented a riot
at the bar and dance hall of N. A.
Fountain on the Augusta road early
yesterday morning.
Three patrolmen went into the place
and held up more than a hundred half
drunken negroes, who had 'been danc
ing and drinking all night, and on into
the early Sunday morning hours.
There had been a general fight some
time after 2 o’clock, in which Caesar
Miller had been badly beaten. He was
held a prisoner at the place, while the
drunken revel went on, but he per
suaded a friend to slip out and notify
the police.
After the negroes were held up and
while they were all being searched for
concealed weapons, there was a gen
eral rush made to escape. Through
second-story windows, doors, and by
every possible exit the negroes leaped.
The rush of the crowd from the up
stairs broke down the bannisters, and
the negroes piled one over the other
to the floor below.
, Jumping from Window*.
Two of the negroes jumped from a
second stoy window to the roof of a
nearby shed, but a shot from the re
volver of Patrolman J. E. Brown
caused them to stop. Mounted Pa
trolman Elvers, who was on the sec
ond story when the rush to escape
was made, drew his billy and fought
back the entire mob from the win
dows. The blood flowed profusely as
his club played on the line of men.
When the negroes saw they could not
pass the officer they made a rush for
the stairs and it was then that the
bannisters gave way.
The call for police aid reached po
lice headquarters shortly after 4
o'clock. Mounted Officer P. T. Elv
ers and Patrolman C. M. Malphus were
at headquarters at the time. Patrol
man J. E. Brown was just reporting
from his division, when the message
came. Eivers mounted his horse, and
Brown and Malphus made the trip in
a cab. Mounted Sergeant J. A. Woods
also went to the scene as soon as he
learned of the trouble.
Running In Foil Blast.
When the officers reached Woods
vllle, the bar was found to be full of
negroes. It was open and doing busi
ness despite the fact that it was Sun
day morning. Malphus and Brown
held the negroes up at the door and
Eivers went to a window and entered.
The negroes were told to point out
the men who had engaged in the fight.
No information was forthcoming at
first, and the officers decided to
search the negroes for concealed
weapons.
Only one negro was found with a
pistol in his pocket, but after the
search was over revolvers were found
concealed all about the place. In the
crowd the negroes were able to hide
their weapons as the officers ap
proached, and to pass them from one
to the other. Owing to the small
number of officers on the scene the
searching of every one was impossi
ble.
. Four Were Arrested.
Four negroes known to have been
engaged In the fight were arrested.
They are James Miller, Ed Rivers,
George Brown and Ceasar Miller. Riv
ers is also charged with carrying con
cealed weapons, a pistol having been
found in his pocket. These were the
only four the officers could get any one
to point out as having been in the
fight.
If the officers had had any way to
get the prisoners back to the city they
would have arrested all the negroes
for disorder. The place is outside the
city limits, though it is within the po
lice jurisdiction.
Thought Miller a Spotter.
The row is said to have started by
someone pointing Miller out as a spot
ter for officers of the law. A number
of the other negroes jumped on him
and beat him unmercifully because he
was supposed to have furnished offi
cers with information.
The question of the open bar on Sun
day morning with more than a hun
dred drunken negroes holding high
carnival wsrs discussed at police head
quarters. There was talk of putting
Fountain on the docket, but the evi
dence against him will be brought out
in Police .Court this morning and the
matter will be looked into then.
SPENDER OF COUNTERFEIT
MONEY PAID UP.
Hart Been Given Bill In Change In
Another City.
The man who passed the counterfeit
bill at Helmken's bar one day last
w*eek returned to Savannah yesterday.
He was told that the bill was spurious,
and explained at once where he had
obtained it.
It came to him in change, he said,
and he told the officers from whom. It
was from another city where the man
had just been paid oft. After getting
his money he had some of it changed,
and then came on to Savannah. He is
a Southern Railway conductor. He
reimbursed Mr. Helmken for the coun
terfeit bill. The counterfeit Is still In
the hands of the police. The Informa
tion furnished the officers may result
in arrests in another city.

EAGLES SOARED HIGH
AT THEIR SMOKER.
Music, Speeches and Luncheon at
Opening of New Lodge Rooms.
The members of the Savannah Aerie
of the Fraternal Order of Eagles soar
ed high last night. The occasion was
the opening of the Aerie's new’ lodge
rooms in Lyons Block.
Besides the members, and an orches
tra, a number of invited guests were
present. There was singing and sev
eral excellent addresses were deliv
ered. Judge H. D. D. Twiggs was the
orator of the evening. Past Worthy
President Clad Bryan presided and did
much to make the session a success.
The Eagles pride themselves on en
tertaining In royal style, without ruf
fling their feathers, and they acquitted
themselves last night. They were
“there with the goods" from the open
ing until the close, and never slipped a
cog. There was a general feeling of
good fellowship, and the atmosphere
was heavily charged with this exhil
arating sentiment.
An excellent luncheon—with other
things and cigars—was served as a
part of the programme. All of this
happened In an adjoining room, it be
ing explained that the carpet and fur
niture was all new, and that it was not
desirable—just yet—to spill anything on
the fixtures. The supper arrangements
were In charge of Worthy President
George C. Schwarz, Dr. M. A. Morris.
E. A. Massart ajid Charles Toussaint.
During the luncheon a member of
the Aerie was telling one of those
whose pin feathers have not grown
sufficiently strong to permit him to fly
any great distance, how President
“Teddy” Roosevelt chanced to become
an Eagle.
"Well say, every nest gets a bad egg
In It occasionally,” suggested an Eagle
who Is a thorough Democrat.
