Because of the proposed establish-
Tnent of the new Avondale rifle range,
the city pest house will probably be
moved to the County Farm.
The city officials now have the mat
ter under advisement, and it will be
taken up at the next meeting of Coun
cil.
A proposition is being considered,
whereby the city will bear half of the
expense of establishing the new pest
house, the military the other half, and
the county furnish the land.
The present pest house is near the
proposed range. It is not in the line
of bullets and would be in no danger
from the practice, but a landowner
made it a condition in parting with
some of his land that the pest house
be removed. The military has under
taken this task, and it is probable
that they will succeed, as both the
city and county officials recognize the
importance of the range to Savannah.
I't'B* Hoime 3liim( Jlov*.
An owner of land in the vicinity
saw a good chance to get rid of the
pest house by interesting the military
end he did so. Unless the military
can get the pest house removed, it is
understood that land which is essen
tial to the success of the range can
not be secured.
The pest house as it now stands,
would not interfere with the range,
and the shooting would not interfere
with the pest house. Kven if this last
were the case, the city could of course
stop the practicing.
The building of the range will prob
ably increase the value of the property
in that vicinity. A real estate owner
saw that the property could not be
come very desirable with the pest
house so‘hear, so he made the remov
al of the pest house one of the condi
tions for parting with property that it
was necessary for the rifle association
to own.
< II) mid County to Act.
The matter is now t>efore the city
and county officials. It is very prob
able that a satisfactory arrangement
will be reached. The military will,
of course, have to make some pay
ment In order lo get rid of the pest
house. Both the county and city pest
houses will be on the County Farm,
though separate institutions will be
maintained.
The military has experienced a great
deal of .trouble in getting the new
range, and the city officials are inclin
ed to help them out as much as pos
sible. The city will be put to extra
expense by the move, but Council will
probably agree to It.

SUBWAY PLANS RUNNING
ON SLOW TIME.
Specification* Have Been Rent to
Manager Kenly.
Another discovery in connection with
the Gwinnett street subway has been
made by some of the city officials.
It has been found that the plans are
being operated on railroad time, which,
of course, means that they are at least
sixty minutes behind the time used by
the city.
Asa result of all this the director of
public works is somewhat exercised.
He is contemplating taking his annual
trip North during the latter part of
September, or some other time several
months off. and fears that something
may be done before he goes, or at
about the time he is ready to depart.
Mayor Myers has suggested that
there will be no further delays and
that a "final” agreement has really
been reached. And the Mayor is thor
oughly in earnest, too. But there are
others who are interested who refuse
to believe that the dickering is all over
before the contract hap been actually
signed. It had been supposed that tha
revised specifications would be drawn
up Immediately, hut it has developed
that the matter has been referred to
General Manager Kenly of the Coast
Bine, via Attorney W. R. Clay.
PETER BRANDTCLEARED
OF SWINDLING CHARGE.
Two Motion* for New Trlnl* Filed In
the tity Court.
In the City Court a trial jury yes
terday declared Peter Brandt not guilty
of the charge of cheating and swind
ling. The state was represented in
the case by Attorney \V. M. Heyward,
and the defendant by Attorney C. V.
Hohenstein.
The charges against Brandt were
preferred by W. F. Karsner. In the
Indictment it was charged that Brandt
had, by fraudulent representations, se
cured from the complainant a suit, val
ued at $.lO. It was alleged that Brandt
had promised to pay for the suit with
in an hour after it was delivered or to
return it, and that he did neither.
In the damage case of W. E. Swan
son against the Mayor and aldermen
of the city of Savannah, the motion
for anew trial was granted by Judge
Norwood. At the first hearing of the
case damages were awarded the plain
tiff and the motion for anew trial was
made by the city.
A motion for anew trial was tiled
by the Seaboard Air Bine in the case
of Mingo Turner against the Company.

night. The Jury had been tied up,
without dinner since noon.

strikers who through threats and in
timidation attempted to prevent an
employe of the company from perform
ing his duties.

of Company E, Waynesboro; First
Ltuetenant Thorpe, of the Savannah Ca
dets. and Second Lieutenant Charles G.
Edwards, of the Oglethorep Light In

Each of the captains resigned be
cause the necessities of their business
made it impossible to give to the com
panies the attention that they requir
ed. Lieut. Thorpe resigned because of
his change of residence fr#m this city,
and Lieut. Edwards, because of ill
health. Only one election took place,
in the Oglethorpe Light Infantry, where
Mr. R. A. Cox was informally chosen
to succeed Lieut. Edwards.
In the Republican Blues there is
little question that should the Governor
accept the resignation of Capt. Dreyer
his successor will be First Lieutenant
Clarence G. Anderson, Jr., and that
he, in turn, will be succeeded by Sec
ond Lieutenant A. D. Harden. It is
probable that a number of informal
election will be held at the next meet

resignations, which will be Monday
night.

STRIKER GUILTY
OF INTERFERENCE.
Judge Norwood Hn* Rot Yet Imposed
Sentence on C. E. Stevenson.
In the City Court yesterday a Jury
found C. E. Stevenson guilty of in
terfering with an employe of the Elec
tric Supply Company.
Stevenson was one of the men who,
it is alleged, went on strike and at
tempted to intimidate those who were
employed to take his place.
The charge was that through threats
and other means, not lawful, the de
fendant attempted to prohibit one L.
N. Hollingsworth from carrying out
his regular work as an employe of the
Electric Supply Company. The stale
was represented by Solicitor General
W. W. Osborne, and the defense by
Col. Robert B. Colding. The jury was
out only a short time in arriving at
a verdict. The jury recommended the
defendant to the mercy of the court.
WITNESSES CALITd
FOR EMMET PARK CASE.
InteroNting Litigation to Be Heard
Before Judge Seabrook.
The Emmet Park litigation will be
heard before Judge Paul Seabrook in
the Superior Court to-morrow.
The subpoenas were issued yesterday
for a large number of witnesses and
the indications are that the case will
occupy at least two days in trial. Maj.
J. Ferris Cann will represent the prop
erty holders, and Col. William Gar
rard the city.
The question of the city's title to the
park is involved in the litigation,
which was brought by Lowe and others
against the Mayor and aldermen to
restrain them from exercising owner
ship over the park.
The case arose out of the action of
the city authorities in arresting the
drivers for certain Bay street mer
chants who drove their wagons across
the park. The question first came be
fore the Recorder. Because the ques
tion of title was involved, he referred
the matter to the higher court.
Judge Cann, owing to his previous
connection with the case, as an at
torney, is disqualified from sitting as
judge during the case. The question
has aroused considerable interest, and
resolutions looking to a settlement of
the litigation were passed recently by
certain political organizations.
Besides this case, which is the one
in Which there is probably the greatest
interest, Judge Seabrook will sit this
week on a number of cases in which
Judge Cann is disqualified.

HOW TO GET lAICH.
I.esson 3, Chapter 1.
Don't play' blind man’s bluff during
your short time on earth. The game
of life should be played with your
eyes open. Take a look ahead and
see what Is the best you can do with
your energy. The hard work in the
shop, at the desk, or behind the coun
ter, Is energy; the use of this force is
a constant drain upon your brains,
blood and bones. You turn your ener
gy into money by work; therefore, if
you waste your money you are wast
ing your life. Money, as we know it,
is the value of all things, put into con
crete shape, so that it may be avail
able for all things. A dollar means
nothing in itself; it is worth nothing
until you buy something. The more
you get out of your dollar the more
you get out of your brains, blood and
bones. Many men own an automo
bile, a pianola, a phonograph, a horse
and buggy, a piano and other tran
sient things, but don’t own a lot! In
fact, many men never own anything
that will sell for 10 cents on the dol
lar, a month after it is bought! Of
course the luxuries mentioned are good
to have In the house, but it seems
to a man who surveys the future as
far as he can see It in his mind that
it is playing “blind man's bluff” with
life to buy luxuries on the Installment
plan, before he owns a home. He can
buy a lot with a phonograph and
build a home with an automobile or a
piano! Of course the home would be
.'•mall, but he could add to it. A well
located lot don’t require gasoline, or
a machinist, or a tuner, or anything,
except paying the installments. But
please understand that it is not in
tended to say that it is wrong to buy
any of the articles aforementioned. It
is only suggested that a wise man, or
woman, should buy them last, not first.
When the bread-earner is dead, all
that accumulation of stuff representing
his "brains, blood and bones" will not
shelter those who are left to mourn
his departure. “Don't play blind
man's bluff" with life, but keep your
eyes open. Buy a lot on Thirty-ninth
street, east, or elsewhere. Don’t for
get a little life Insurance when you
can see your way to keeping up the
premiums. But first of all. get a lot,
secondly, build a house and, lastly, lay
up something for a rainy day.-!-ad.

TIME FOR MY
LUCK TO TURN
SAID TICKET OFFICE ROBBER
NVHEN TOLD CASE AGAIR'ST HIM
WOULD BE DISMISSED.
Railroad Got All of Stolen Ticket*
Baek ansi Doe* R'ot Care to Bother
With Cae Further—U'nle** the
Police In Macon Want Janie* He
Will Be Given Hl* Liberty To-slny.
Janie* Say* He Want* to Get Away
from Till* Fart of the Country anil
Get a Place.
Unless a message to the contrary is
received from Macon this morning, .R.
W. James, the man who robbed the
Macon ticket office of the Macon, Dub
lin and Savannah railroad, will be re
leased from the police station, where
he has been incarcerated since his ar
rest by Detective Wall Sunday after
noon.
“Well, it’s about time my luck was
turning," said James, when told that
he would probably be released, as
General Passenger Agent Streyer did
not care to prosecute the case. “I have
been up against it for over two months
now, and I deserve some good luck."
The failure to prosecute, if such is
the course finally decided upon, will
be due entirely to the apathy of the
railroad officials and the Macon officers,
and not of the department here. James
was arrested here, but he was arrested
for the Macon police.
Macon Asked for Arrest,
He had already been taken in charge
when the request from the chief of
police there was received, but he was
arrested because it was supposed he
would be wanted there. When the
wire from the Macon chief came it
said arrest James.
This had already been done, and a
telegram to that effect was sent in re
ply. Since then nothing has been
heard from the Macon chief. He will
probably be wired again this morning.
Unless he says at once that he wants
James the prisoner will be given his
liberty.
Canght With Evidence.
James was caught the evidence
of his crime on him, and he freely ad
mits his guilt. The fact that all of
the stolen tickets were recovered, ex
cept the mileage used by Janies in
coming from Macon to Savannah, ac
counts for the railroad's attitude in the
matter, it is said. James is a son of
a once prominent railroad official, now
dead, and this may also* have some
thing to do with the failure to prose
cute.
James says if he is released he will
get away from this part of the country
at once and try to get a job. He says
his failure to secure employment was
responsible for his committing the Ma
con robbery.
STREEfCAR COLLIDED
WITH DELIVERY WAGON.
Driver and Hone Were Rot Injured,
but Wagon Wa* Damaged.
A Mill Haven car collided with a

standstill it struck the rear end of the
wagon. The horse was frightened, but
neither the driver nor horse was in
jured. The contents of the wagon
were slightly damaged.

NO ELECTRIC COMMITTEE
SAID ALDERMAN.
And Subway Matter Wn* R'ot Under
Di*cu**ion at Time.
“This ain’t no electric committee.”
This statement was made by Aider
man John F. Glatigny yesterday after
noon after a session of the Committee
on City Lots and Opening Streets that
lasted an hour and fifteen minutes.
Although several matters had been
considered by the committee, no defi
nate action had been taken in any case.
Alderman Glatigny explained this by
saying that the committee of Nvhich
he is a member is not an “electric com
mittee," and has to take its time about
such business as it does transact in
the course of a year.
Bids for the Waterworks tract of
fered for sale by the city were opened,
but the committee took no action. The
bids were simply opened and received.
Chairman D. R. Thomas, of the com
mittee, stated that nothing had hap
pened at the meeting and that the
matters that did come up would be
heard again. The members, of the
committee, he said, like to think over
such matters as are brought to their
attention.
