Anew home for the National Bank
of Savannah, probably ten stories, at
the northwest corner of Bull and
Broughton streets, is a certainty.
It Is said, too, that negotiations are
to be again taken up, very shortly,
looking towards the consolidation of
the Merchants National Bank and the
National Bank of Savannah. While
this Is not regarded as a certainty, it
Is said that the consolidation is pretty
apt to take plate.
No one in authority will discuss th •
matter at this time, but developments
are expected within the next week or
two. Mr. J. A. G. Carson, president
Of the Merchants National Bank, when
asked relative to the rumored merger,
paid that he knew nothing officially of
the matter, that it has not been dis
cussed by the directors, and that if
any ovc-tures relative to resuming n?-
Botl atio is for a consolidation are made
they will have to come from the other
aide.
The matter of a new' home for the
(National Bank has already been de
cided upon by the directors, although
the style of building has not been
finally determined. It is believed now,
(however, that a ten-story structure
will be put up and that work will
Btart on or about Oct. 1.
Plans for the proposed new' building
have already been drawn. It is in
tended to build a handsome and mod
ern structure—one that will be an or
nament to the city. The site is con
eidered one of the best in the city for
an office building, and it is not be
lieved that the bank would experience
any difficulty in renting offices.
In the event that the tw r o banks con
solidate, It Is not believed there will
be any change In the plans for the
new building. Several contractors
have been notified that they will be
Invited to bid on the new building,
and it is thought the plans and speci
fications will be ready for distribution
■during the present month.

POLICE WILL WATCH
FOR AUTO OWNERS.
Special Miii Del,tiled for Work to
Start oit Monday.
The police are going to catch you
if you don’t watch out!
This warning is given to owners of
automobiles who have failed to regis
ter with the clerk of Council.
The superintendent of police has or
dered special men on duty Monday and
they will be kept at work until all of
the machines in the city have been
corralled. The Recorder has promised
to do the rest.
And there are others who are after
the autoists with a long stick. The
Board of Tax Assessors has gotten in
the game and every automobile owner
caught by the police, who has not re
turned his machine as personal prop
erty, will not only be fined by the Re
corder for failing to register, hut will
be taken in hand by the heard-henrted
assessors.
Folks arc “awfully careless" about
returning their automobiles and the
assessors have sent out In the neigh
borhood of forty notices to owners that
the board has placed valuations on as
many machines. In naming the valua
tions the board was considerate, hut
those who are landed by Supt. <ar
funkel’s special men for not registering
may not be treated as kindly.
Quite a scheme has been arranged
for checking up the automobile own
ers in order to see that they have all
registered, and the special men will
have their hands full for a few days.
One man will be kept on duty for
some little while to prevent any au
toists from quitting the game while
the search is on. It is expected that
one or two autoists will register to
day, but the police will probably pick
up quite a number when they start to
work.
NAVAL STORES CASES
BEFORE FEDERAL COURT.
Occupied Entire Time of f'cinrt nt
Yesterday's Session.
In the United States court yester
day the naval stores cases were be
gun. The hearing of ihe cases occu
pied the entire session and will be
continued this morning.
Before beginning the trial of the
cases Judge Speer asked the Jurors if
any of them were in the employ of
the United States, or in any way even
as relatives of bondholders, connected
with the naval stores companies con
cerned. The question of relationship
to stockholders brought out a number
of amusing points.
United States District Attorney
Striplin of the northern district of
Florida was introduced to the court by
Mr. Leaken, and announcement made
that Mr. Striplin would assist Mr.
Leaken in the trial of the cases. Mo
tion was then made to t y all the
cases against the Peacock, Hunt &
West Cos. at one time. This was re
sisted by Judge Adams. The court,
however, Instructed the Jury to bear
in mind the differences between the
cases.
In the cases against the Peacock,
Hunt & West Cos., which were called
first, Judge Adams presented an
amendment in which it was recited
that the cases had been adjudicated
heretofore in the Florida United States
court. Mr. Striplin pleaded surprise,
though it was contested that, as pros
ecutor, he could not possibly be sur
prised.
The court ruled that the cases could
be taken up In whatever order the
district attorney chose, and the case
against the Southern Naval Stores
Company was then begun. This, one
of the smallest of the seven, involves
about $2,000. The circumstances of the
cases, seven In all, are familiar to
readers of the Morning News.
FOR DOUBLE MURDER
NEGRO WAS ARRESTED.
Detectives Unstick mill Ilnvls Ar

Will Carter, a negro, is being held
at the police station on the charge of
committing a double murder at Co
lumbus. Ga.
The man has been under arrest for
several days. Yesterday the authori
ties received a telegram from Sheriff
E. F. Roberts, stating that Will Car
ter was wanted, and that all expenses
would be paid. The prisoner will prob
ably be sent back to-day or to-mor
row.
Carter was arrested three or four
days ago by Detectives Bostick and
Mose Davis. Detective Bostick will
probably carry him back.
Even if Carter is not the man want
ed in Columbus, he is badly wanted
by the police, as he admits he was
In the crowd that shot the agent at
Billsville. It is believed he is the Co
lumbus man, but should such prove
not to be the case he is wanted for
the second shooting. He does not ad
mit having fired a shot, but says he
was in the crowd that shot the agent.
MEETING OF CREDITORS
IN STERNBERG CASE.
Another meeting of creditors in the
bankrupt case of Sternberg & Cos., will
be held before Referee MacDonell to
day. Some time ago the creditors
agreed to accept a composition of 33 1-3
per cent, on all accounts due by the
bankrupt firm.
The creditors have been called to
gether several times to receive a set
tlement on this basis, but each time
the bankrupt has asked for more time
in which to raise the necessary money.
It was stated yesterday that a settle
ment W’ould probably be made at to
day's meeting.
ST. JULIAN R. YONGE
ALLOWED HOMESTEAD.
At a meeting of the 'creditors In the

stead will practically consume the en
tire stock of goods.

>1 e m he r*.
Thoroughly convinced that the city
will save money by purchasing laud
for opening streets at this time, and
recognizing the urgent need of the
opening of more streets in the south
ern section of the city, the South Side
Administration Club, at its regular
meetings last night, passed resolutions,
urging City Council, and the Commit
tee on Opening Streets, to open addi
tional streets in the South Side.
More streets running both north and
south, and east and west, are wanted
in the growing South Side. One resolu
tion calls attention to the necessity for
the establishing of Fortieth, Forty-first
and Forty-second streets* from Price
street to Waters avenue.
Mr. Carl Mendel, one of the speakers,
impressed upon the members of the
club the Importance of seeing that the
streets are open, and that there is no
delay about the matter. The meeting
was an enthusiastic one, and the res
olutions were passed unanimously.
Not only was Council urged to take
the matter up, but a special commit
tee was appointed to see that there
are no delays. The necessity of prompt
action was evident to the members,
and the matter will not be permitted to
die of inertia.
Not only was a special committee
named, but both resolutions were re
ferred to the Improvement Committee
of the club. The action of the South
Side Club makes it certain that For
tieth, Forty-first and Forty-second
streets will be established from Price
street to Waters avenue, and that
Hull, Drayton and Abereorn streets
will be extended through Sunny Side.
Street* Are Hnilly Needed.
The following were the resolutions
passed:
Whereas, The recognized growth of
the South Side demands the opening
of more streets; and,
Whereas, The purchasing of land at
this time for the opening of streets
would mean a saving of money to the
city of Savannah, since the land valu
ations in the rapidly growing South
Side are increasing from time to time;
und.
Whereas, Streets are badly needed
south of Thirty-ninth street, extending
from Price street to Waters avenue;
and.
Whereas. The interests of the South
Side demand that Fortieth, Forty-first
and Forty-second streets be estab
lished from Price street to Waters ave
nue; therefore, be it
ltesolved, That the South Side Ad
ministration Club, in regular meeting
assembled, do urge upon City Council
and the Committee on Opening
Streets the great importance and im
mediate necessity of establishing the
said streets; and be it further
Resolved, That the representatives
of the South Side in City Council use
their best efforts in bringing about the
opening of these streets, so that the
said South Side may derive the bene
fits which it is entitled to by its said
rapid growth.
Street* Through Sunny Slile.
Whereas the purchasing of land at
this time for the opening up of Bull,
Drayton and Abereorn streets, through
the tract of land known as Sunny Side,
would mean a saving of money to the
city, as well as the doing away with
all the shanties that now debar many
of our citizens from building in that
beautiful section of the city, and for
the benefit of all those who have al
ready built houses and desire to build
in the near future, be it
Resolved, by the South Side Club,
in regular meeting now assembled, do
urge upon City Counpil and the com
mittee on opening streets, and our rep
resentative in Council, and our leaders
in general, the great importance in
opening up said streets, so that the
southeastern section may derive the
benefit which it is entitled to.
In the absence of President Glatigny
the meeting was presided over by Mr.
Thomas Gamble, Jr. Mr. J. Robert
Creamer urged the passage of the reso
lutions calling for the improvement
of the South Side by the opening of
more streets. There were thirty-eight
new applications for membership and
it was shown that the club is in a
flourishing condition. Addresses were
made by Frank S. Van Giesen, J. J.
Stephens, C. C. Lebey and Carl Men

MAYOR TURNED DOWN
COMMITTEE ON FIRE
For Increasing Salaries WitHont
Authority From Council.
Mayor Myers and Alderman Wrignt,
the chairman of the Committee on Ac
counts, yesterday caught and held up
an increase in the pay of the foremen
of the fire department, which had not
been authorized by Council.
A peculiar feature of the affair was
that the foremen had drawn the in
crease last month, though without the
knowledge of the Mayor or the chair
man of the Committee on Accounts.
The increase in the foremen's pay was
made hi' the Committee on Fire.
When or where it was ever nassed
cannot be stated exactly. It had nev
er been announced by the chairman
of the committee, or by any other
member, that an increase was to be
granted. The pay roil last month,
with the foremen's increase, slipped
through.
This month, the Mayor got wind of
what was coming and notified Aider
man Wright to be on the lookout.
When the pay roll was submitted to
him, he held it up. The Mayor was
notified. The roll had to be corrected,
before the signatures of Mr. Wright
and Mr. Myers could be obtained.
The Mayor is not opposed to raising
the pay of the foremen, but he is op
posed to dark-lantern methods used in
securing such a raise.
‘‘They may deserve the raise,” said
the Mayor, “but that is not the way
to give it. An increase in salary is
a matter for Council and not for a
committee.”
The foremen thought it was all a
Joke, when told yesterday that the
pay roll had been held up. Fire Chief
Maguire made corrections in rapid or
der, though it was not his mistake,
and the pay roll was then signed. The
matter will now be brought before
Council, and the increase will doubtless
be granted.
SENTENCE SHORTENED
BY LESS THAN MONTH.
Time Spent In I linthniit County Jail
Will Detract From Sentence.
In the United States court yesterday.
District Attorney Marion Erwin pre
sented the application of Daniel A.
Tyson, sentenced in 1900 to serve five
years in the state prison at Nashville,
Tenn., asking that the time spent in
the Chatham county jail be subtracted
from the sentence. An order was hand
ed down by Judge Speer granting the
application.
Tyson was sentenced on March 23,
1900, to serve five years in the Nashville
prison. From the date on which sen
tence was imposed, until April 10, 1900,
was spent in Chatham county jail.
It is this time, less than a month, which
will be subtracted from the sentence.
MARINE HOSPITAL ON
PUBLIC MARKET TO-DAY.
Actual Work Will 11. Started Soon
According to Col. I,ester's Tele

Mayor Myers yesterday received the
following telegram from Congressman
Rufus E. Lester:
“Marine hospital in hands of super
vising architect and goes on the mar
ket to-morrow No appropriation for
additional land, and it will not do to
hold up to wait for that.”
The Mayor had wired Congressman
Lester in regard to the probabilities
of getting a larger site for the hos
pital. as had been suggested a number
of times. Adjoining lots are for sale
and it was thought the government
might be induced to purchase them.
roadwayto Island -
WAS INDORSED.
South Shlers Want Roadway With
an Electric Ferry,
At the meeting of the South Side
Administration Club last night the
scheme for a roadway to Wilmington
Island, with an electric ferry from
Thunderbolt, was indorsed.
A special committee was appointed
to push the matter, and the South
Siders will do all in their power to se
cure the roadway. They will ask every
other political club in the city *o pass
similar resolutions and appoint simi
lar committees. The number of ad
vantages to be derived from such a
roadway has already been told of in
the Morning News.
GREEN IS PLANNED
FOR WEST BROAD ST.
Wonlil Make One of the Prettiest
Streets In City.
President George J. Baldwin, of the
Savannah Electric Company, has sug
gested to the Mayor and aldermen, and
the suggestion will doubtless be adopt
ed, that a green be laid out on West
Broad street, from Gwinnett to Thirty
first.
From Thirty-first to Anderson the
green has already been determined up
on and there is little doubt that the
rest will also be agreed to. This will
be decided upon within a few days,
as the paving on the street is about to
be commenced.
LINCOLN PARK*WILL
OPEN ON SUNDAY.
Lincoln Park will be opened for the
summer season, beginning next Sun
day. The pavilion has been remodel
ed and overhauled and a merry-go
round has been installed. The park
has been greatly improved since last
summer, and it is thought the negroes
will patronize it more liberally than
ever before.
FOR STEALING CLOTHES.
For the larceny of a lot of clothing
■from Thomas E. Ferribee, Willie
Johnston, a negro boy, was yesterday
arrested by Patrolman McWhorter.
A preliminary hearing will be had

stole the clothes.

JUVENILE COURT
IS NOT LIKELY
AUTHORITIES INDIFFERENT.
MAYOR MY ERS SAY'S COl RT IS X'OT
FEASIBLE SOW.
Thinks That Reformatory Wonlrt
Hnve to Come First—Comity Com
missioner Moore Recalls That
Yoters in Chatham County, in
Spcclnl Election, Were Opposed to
Establishing Reform School.
Doulits if They Have Changed.
Ylrs. YYelih Has Xot Abandoned
Her Plans.
It does not seem likely that Savan
nah will have either a juvenile court
or a reformatory for some time to
come.
Neither the city nor county author
ities enthuse on the subjeej. Mayor
Myers doesn't think a juvenile court
feasible in Savannah at this time, and
says a reformatory is to be considered
first, although even the matter of a
reformatory is debateable.
Recorder Shelby Myrick cannot see
the value of a juvenile court in Sa
vannah, and none of those in police
circles, who were talked to on the sub
ject were found to favor it. With one
accord the police officers agree that
there is no possible chance of reform
ing any of the juvenile criminals who
are nicked up in this city.
In speaking of the matter yesterday
Mr. A. B. Moore, one of the County
Commissioners, said: “I have not
looked into the subject of a juvenile
court sufficiently to know whether or
not it is the best thing that could be
established at present. Until I have
done so I would not like to express an
opinion regarding the desirability or
undesirability of the project.
Plan Waa Y'oted Down.
"As for the establishment of a re
formatory In which youthful criminals
could be placed, the voters of Chat
ham county have set themselves
strongly against it. A few years ago
the proposition of establishing a re
form school was put before the voters
of this county and defeated by an
overwhelming majority. I doubt if the
sentiment has changed.”
Other commissioners who were ask
ed for an opinion concerning the move
ment advocated by Mrs. Webb took
the same ground as did Mr. Moore.
All pointed to the fact that the estab
lishment of a reformatory had been
voted down, and accepted this as a
proof that such an institution was not
desired in Chatham county. Regard
ing the juvenile court, all consulted
took the position that there was not
enough business for a juvenile court
to warrant the establishment of it.
Mrs. Wriib YVill X’ot Give I’p.
Mrs. Richard Webb, president of the
W. C. T. U.. said that a communica
tion would be addressed to the Mayor
and City Council, within a few days,
urging that steps be taken to estab
lish the Juvenile court for the trial of
youthful criminals. Mrs. Webb will
hold a conference with Judge S. B.
Adams and request him to assist in the
matter. As yet Judge Adams has not
been approached on the subject.
Mrs. Webb is very much interested
in the establishment of both the juve
nile court and the county reform
school, but says she prefers that some
one else take the lead in the move
ment, as she desires no credit, even if
the city and county should act favor
ably. “I have simply stated the agita
tion of the question because I believe
it duty. I would much rather some
one else have any glory if we are suc
cessful.”
CASE IN ADMIRALTY
SETTLED OUT OF COURT.
R. Ropner A Cos. and Wilder & Cos.
Reach an Agreement.
At the opening of the United States
court yesterday morning announcement
was made that the case of R. Ropner
& Cos., ngainst Wilder & Cos., a case
In admiralty, had been settled out of
court. The plaintiff was represented
by Maj. Edward S. Elliott and the de
fendant by Hon. W r alter G. Charlton.
This case is the one in which Judge
Speer had ordered a further argument.
The law in the case favored one party
and the e'quity favored the other. A
copy of the decision on both sides was
furnished the opposing counsel. Dur
ing the interim an agreement was
reached and the case has been crossed
from the docket.
In the ancillery petition of Felicianna
R. Miles and others, against the New
South Building and Loan Association,
Johnston Armstrong as receiver,
against Mrs. Ellen Burns, an order
was handed down by the court. The
order directs the defendant, Mrs. El

and some odd dollars. It Is further
ordered that the lot at Houston street
and Bay lane be sold.

WEATHER ON EASTER
SHOULD BE PLEASANT.
It Has lot Rained on April 3 Daring
the Laot Ten Years.
If the weather, like history, repeats
itself, Easter Sunday should bring
pleasant weather to Savannahians.
The records kept in the Weather Bu
reau show that It lias not rained on
April 3, the date on which Easter falls
this year, during the last ten years.
Owing to variation in the date on
which Easter falls each year, Easter
weather, properly speaking, could not
be computed, but April 3 has been
without rain, though on alternating
years the day has been marked "part
ly cloudy” by the official compilers of
records in the postoffice building.
Though on alternating years the
weather has been clear and then part
ly cloudy, the circumstances, if the
same sequence prevails this year, point
to clear weather to-morrow. It has
never, during the last ten years, rained
on April 3, and the precedent give no
indication of being broken this year.
Last night there was nothing in the re
ports to indicate a rainy Easter.
