MANY POLES ARE
BEING CONDEMNED
UNDER CITY’S INSPECTION.
INSPECTOR HAS FOOD NUMEROUS
POLES DANGEROUS.
Though Only n Small Portion ot tlir
City Han Bern Covered, Many De
fective Polen Have Been Fnunil.
Bt* Stack of Report* on File nt
Mayor** Ollier. Showing What
Polen Have Been Condemned—No
Canea Doeketed.
Since the adoption of the ordinance
requiring an inspection of the poles in
the city by members of the Are de
partment, many of the poles have been
condemned.
Every two or three days Mayor My
ers is furnished with a list of the
poles that have been condemned and
the company owning the poles is at
the same time notified.
So far the condemned poles have
been removed without it being neces
sary to make cases against the com
panies owning them, but recently
there has been a disposition on the
part of some of the officials of one
company at least, to question the de
cisions of the firemun making the
condemnation.
Mayor Pleased With Work.
Supt. Maguire of the fire department
has assigned one man to do the work.
Though he has been at work for quite
a while, only a small section of the
city has been oovered. Yet in this lim
ited territory, the number of poles
condemned is large.
Mayor Myers said yesterday that he
was pleased with the progress being
made. He has quite a stack of re
ports on file, showing just what poles
have been condemned. All of those
condemned have not yet been replaced
by new ones, but the work is pro
gressing as rapidly as could be ex
pected.
When the pole inspection ordinance
was first suggested, it was thought by
some that the fire department would
not be able to make the inspections.
Chief Maguire said at the time that
he did not know whether his depart
ment couid attend to the matter in
the way it should be done, owing to the
other duties that devolved upon the
men.
Many Defective Pole* Found,
He added, however, that if the ordi
nance should be passed making it the
duty of his department to look after
the poles he would see that the best
possible results were obtained, without
neglecting the more important fire du
ties. That the plan has worked suc
cessfully, is shown by the large num
ber of defective poles that have been
found. The fire chief changed the
plan a little from what was originally
intended.
It was at first proposed to have the
city divided into sections about the
various fire stations, and for the men
at each of the stations to look after
their territory. Chief Maguire did not
think this would work well at first, so
ho designated one of the men, Fireman
William H. Hughes, to make the in
spections. He is devoting all of his
time, except during the meal hours,
to the work. In this way the chief
thinks the work will be more thorough
ly accomplished. After the city is once
covered, it will be divided into sections
and the men in the stations in each
of the divisions will look after that
section i
BADLY HURT BY*
FAST RUNNING CAR.
Alexander King Knocked Down on
Abereorn Street.
At Abereorn and Gwinnett streets
early yesterday afternoon, Alexander
King was thrown to the ground and
seriously injured while attempting to
board a rapidly moving A. & B. belt
car. Mr. King was picked up in an
unconscious condition.
The injured man was carried into the
. office of Dr. W. H. Elliott, nearby,
and it was quite a while before he re
gained consciousness. He was injured
about the head, but the wound is not
regarded as dangerous. After some
time, the police ambulance was called
and he was sent to his home. No. 812
Lincoln street. Dr. M. F. Dunn, his
family physician, meanwhile had been
summoned.
The cars on the A. & B. line had
gotten oft schedule and three of them
were running one immediately behind
the other. Mr. King was waiting to
catch a car and signaled the motor
man, ns the first of the cars approach
ed. The motorman did not slacken
speed at all, but waved at Mr. King,
meaning for him to take one of the
cars following. Mr. King, however,
tried to catch the car. It was running
quite fast and he was thrown to the
ground.
TROLLEY CAR SCATTERED
EMPTY OYSTER CANS.
* A wagon loaded with empty oyster
cans was struck by a trolley car at
"Whitaker ajid Congress streets early
last night and put out of commission.
Three men in the wagon escaped in
jury.
It was stated by an eye witness that
the motorman was in no way to
blame for the accident, but that the
driver seemed to be at fault. The wagon
was going west on Congress street and
the car wus making its way south.
The empty oyster dans were sent spin
ning in every direction, the wagon was
badly damaged and the horse was
knocked down and bruised. The col
lision occasioned some excitement.
PAVINGMAP HANGS~
IN MAYOR’S OFFICE.
The paving map of the city, pre
pared for the Mayor by Assistant City
Engineer Howard, has been framed
and hung on the walls of the Mayor’s
private office.
As Council holds its caucus in the
Mayor s office, it will be available dur
ing the discussions of the paving work
that is to be done next year.
The map Is a very line piece of work,
and will prove of great value to the
aldermen. A hurried glance at it will
show where much work should be done,
In order to make short connections be
tween streets already paved.
Sensational lllunkrt Sale.

MAYOR NAMES WHITAKER
CAR TRACK COMMITTEE.
Unexpected Opposition Kill* Hope of
Removing the Track*.
Mayor Myers has announced the
committee to confer with the officials
of the Savannah Electric Company,
relative to the removal of the street
car tracks from Whitaker street, south
of Broughton. He appointed on the
committee Aldermen Grayson, Garfun
kel and Thomas. Under the resolution
passed by Council the Mayor Is made
chairman of the committee.
A letter was written by Mayor My
ers to President George J. Baldwin of
the electric company, inclosing a copy
of the resolution and notifying him of
the appointment of the committee. He
was asked to set a date when it would
be convenient to confer with the city
committee on the subject.
The protest of the Broughton street
merchants against the .removal of the
tracks, and the opposition of Alderman
Thomas, practically kills all hope of
the plan being carried through. The
street car people are notopposed to
the removal of the tracks, but they
would not, of course, consent to take
them up with people opposing the plan.
With the tracks left on the street
the company will have to pay the
greater part of the paving bill on the
street for the work next year, and the
public will still be deprived of a good
driveway. The paving of the street
will, of course, in a measure relieve
the present congested condition, but
the street, owing to its narrowness, can
never accommodate very much traffic
so long as the car tracks remain there.
CARNIVAL WILL NOT
PAY CITY LICENSES.
Auditorium Scheme Not Yet Decided
I pou liy tlie Committee,
The Finance Committee of Council
has decided to allow the carnival at
tractions to run without paying city
licenses.
The matter was referred to this
committee, with power to act, at the
meeting of Council Wednesday night
and Alderman Dixon announced yes
terday that the committee had deter
mined to allow the carnival to take
place without the payment of city
licenses.
The auditorium petition, which was
referred to the same committee, has
caused some misunderstanding in
certain circles. The petition on the
motion of Alderman Grayson was re
ferred to this committee with power
to act, provided those interested in the
shotvs secure from the railroads the
one fare round trip rate that has been
granted the carnival.
If these rates are secured the Fi
nance Committee will at once agree to
allow the shows to run without the
payment of a city license. If the
low rates are not secured, the com
mittee will not have the power to act.
It will then report to Council what
ever reoommendation it may see fit to
make. Those interested In the shows
have agreed to give to the auditorium
fund 25 per cent, of the proceeds if
they are not made to pay city taxes.
DECORATING BEGINS^
FOR THE CARNIVAL.
Morning New* Ruililing Draped
With Hunting and Flag*.
The Morning News has its decora
tions in place in honor of the Retail
Merchants Association Carnival.
The work was done by Messrs.
Frank G. Silvers & Cos., .who are man
ufacturers and furnishers of decora
tions for such occasions, and who are
here by special request to help put
the city in gala attire.
The Carnival Committee wish to see
the city decorated as it has never been
before and those who propose doing
so should not delay, as there are only
three days, including to-day and Sun
day, In which to attend to this im
portant matter.
Not only is it the wish of the Car
nival Committee that business houses
be ornamented, but also private resi
dences. A number of citizens have
already given orders for decorating
their homes.
STOLEN BICYCLE WAS
QUICKLY RECOVERED.
A bicycle, stolen yesterday afternoon
from the little girl of Alderman J. H.
McKenna, was recovered and the thief
caught within a short time after the
theft was reported at police headquar
ters. Patrolman McAlpin made the
arreast, and at the same time recovered
the wheel.
The bicycle had white handle bars
and was, therefore, easily recognized
from the description furnished by Al
derman McKenna. Only a little while
after he had been told of the case,
the officer saw a negro boy riding a
girl's bicycle, which had white handle
bars. He took the boy in charge. The
prisoner gave his name as Elijah
Green. He is Just 13 years old. The
bicycle was afterwards identified as
the one stolen from the alderman's
dauaiiter.
CITY FLAG COMMITTEE

terday appointed by Mayor Myers as

committee provided for In the flag and

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY. OCTOBER 28. 1904.
CARTER’S CHANCES
SUM, SAYS ERWIN
GOVERNMENT’S CASE CLOSED
NO CHANCE OF ACTION AGAINST
WESTCOTT ESTATE.
Hearing of Evidence Token Up Be
fore CoiiiininMloner Hen lilt—Tug
Hont Captain* Testified a* to Effi
ciency of Work, from Practical
Standpoint, Done by Carter—Mr.
Erwin Say* There I* Still Large
Sinn of Money Unaccounted For.
In the opinion of United States Dis
trict Attorney Marion Erwin, there is
no contingency on which to base an
opinion that the estate of Mr. R. T.
Westcott will be finally sued for
money alleged to have been received
illegitimately from the construction
fund through Greene and Gaynor.
When seen at the De Soto yesterday
and asked if there will be any ■'action
against the Westcott estate in the
event Capt. Carter is exonerated by
the courts Mr. Erwin said he would
not even advance a statement on such
a contingency.
"The change in Capt. Cairter’s coun
sel’s position in this case does not dis
turb us,” said Mr. Erwin. “We have
made our case, and are satisfied with
the evidence that we have to the ef
fect that money which Capt. Carter
gave to Greene and Gaynor finally got
back into Carter’s hands.”
Government Not Worried.
Mr. Erwin said that the perfect chain
of evidence against Capt. Carter had
been gone over so much in the papers,
that he did not even like to discuss It
now. He says the government will of
fer no more evidence and that his case
is closed. He seems to have less doubt
about the outcome of the case in Chi
cago some time in January for the
government, than Col. Stone has for
Capt. Carter.
According to Mr. Erwin Capt. Carter
will never be able to touch another
penny of the money which is now in
the hands of the receivers. There is
now tied up nearly a half million dol
lars. Mr. Erwin and his associates in
the case, have eatimated that in all
Capt. Carter received something
like $772,000 as his third of the division
of the spoils with Greene and Gayonr.
Mr. Erwin also said that the case In
Virginia in which he had caused to
be seized about $40,000 belonging to
Greene and Gaynor, would also be heard
some time this winter.
Hearing Evidence Here.
The final evidence that will be offered
by Capt. Cartels counsel in his case
when it is tried, is being taken now.
Col. R. G. Stone, for Carter, and
Mr. Marion Erwin, for the government,
examined three witnesses before Com
missioner Hewlett yesterday. Tijey
were Capt. T. H. Laird, Capt. Charles
Sweeny and Mr. Cole.
All of the testimony taken was of
a technical nature as to the efficiency
of the work, from a practical view
point, done by Capt. Carter. The price
of log and brush mattrices was also
a matter gone into at length. The
intent of this evidence is to show that
Capj. Carter was faithful to his duties,
and always saved the government
money where possible, and did not give
the contractors opportunity to make
large profits on certain material, when
a better substitute could be found.
Col. J. B. Quinn will probably be put
on the stand this morning to give ex
pert testimony.
Col. Stone is still confident that there
con be but one termination to the case,
and that in favor of Capt. Carter.
BORROWED HORSE AND
FAILED TO RETURN IT.
In the case of Charles Sipple vs.
John Kelly, action on possessory war
rant for a horse. Judge Wickham de
cided yesterday that the horse belong
ed to Mr. Sipple.
The evidence In the case was very
interesting, and at times was excit
ing. The contentions of the plaintiff
were that Kelly went to his stable dur
ing his absence and wanted to swap
a horse, the one he was using at that
time being out of the running.
Mr. Hart, who is In the employ of
Mr. Sipple, said that he could not
swap with Kelly. Kelly then asked, it
Is alleged, that the horse be loaned to
him In exchange for his, until he could
see Mr. Sipple. Mr. Hart agreed to
this, and after several days had passed
and Kelly failed to turn up with the
borrowed horse, Mr. Sipple took out a
possessory warrant.
Kelly’s contention was that he swap
ped horses. He said no one was pres
ent, but he and Hart. Thomas Mac-
Donnell testified and asserted that he
was present, and said Kelly told a
lie when he made a statement to the
contrary. The use of the language
cause some excitement.
Mr. Sipple had formerly owned the
horse w f hlch Kelly left at his stable,
and said he had sold it for 117.60. the
highest price he ever brought, and
that the horse Kelly got was worth
686.
MAYOR HAS NOT
DECIDED ABOUT VETO.
Will Inspect Thirty-Seventh Street
Before He Acts.
Mayor Myers has not yet decided
whether to veto the action of Council
In adopting the Thirty-seventh street
widening resolution. Before making up
his mind the Mayor will drive out and
inspect the street and the adjoining
property.
Unless some of the aldermen change
their vote. It does not matter whether
the Mayor exercises his veto power, as
the resolution was passed by eight to
.four. Eight being two-thirds of the
aldermen, will pass anything over the
M ay or. . -
It is said, however, that some of the
aldermen who favored the resolution
Wednesday night would not vote for
it again, if the Mayor vetoed it. Lit
tle Interest was displayed yesterday as
to what the Mayor did about the mat
ter, as most of the aldermen do not
care much about the measure one way
or the other.

ACCIDENT WHICH CAUSED
DEATH OF LIEUT. ROBERTS.
AVngon Panning Over Hi* Che*t Pro
<lu<-e<l Internal lleiumorrbage.
The first full account of the acci
dent which caused the death of Lieut.
Hugh A. Roberts of Troop I, Eighth
Cavalry, at Fort Riley, last Saturday,
was brought by Lieut. Oliver, who ac
companied the remains to Savannah,
yesterday morning.
On the night of Oct. 20 Lieut. Rob
erts was a member of, a picnic party,
which was composed of a number of
officers from Fort Riley and of an
equal number of young ladies. One of
the conveyances was a wagon with
spring seats. One of the officers de
sired to return to the barracks, and
Lieut. Roberts volunteered to aid him
by driving him back. On the return
to the picnic party, Lieut. Roberts, by
the springing of the seats, fell out, the
wheels passing over his leg and chest.
While the injury was painful, he was
able to secure help, and was taken
back to the fort. The post surgeon was
called in, and it was not thought that
his injuries were grave. Friday he
grew worse, and an operation was de
cided on for the following day. Asa
result of this, it was found that his
liver had been badly lacerated and that
an internal hemmorrhage had been
produced which had already been suf
ficiently copious to preclude saving his
life.
"It’s all up w ith me,” he said when
he was brought back to consciousness,
as he squeezed the hand of Lieut. Oli
ver, who watched at his side. Lieut.
Roberts gradually sank until the end
came. *
A military escort was provided from
Fort Riley to Junction City, composed
of Troop I and the post band, the
commissioned officers, wearing side
arms. A number of flowers, principally
yellow chrysanthemums—yellow being
the cavalry color—were sent for the
funeral.
Lieut. Roberts was an exceedingly
popular officer at the post. He had the
fastest horse, was the most expert polo
player, owned two of the finest dogs
and was popular with the men. Dur
ing the maneuvers last year at Fort
Riley he was appointed by the assist
ant secretary of w,;vr to a place on his
staff and was assigned to meet the la
dies who called at headquarters. His
death threw a gloom over the entire
post.
MILITARY HONORS PAID
LIEUT. HUGH A* ROBERTS.
Funernl Services Conducted at St.
John’s Episcopal Church.
Wrapped in the folds of the Stars
and Stripes, with military honors, the
remains of Lieut. Hugh A. Roberts of
Troop I, Eighth Cavalry, were laid to
rest in Bonaventure Cemetery yester
day afternoon.
The casket containing the remains
arrived In the morning over the
Central of Georgia from Fort Riley,
accompanied by Lieut. Oliver, a friend
and companion of the young officer.
It was conveyed to St. John’s
Church, and while the body re
posed in the vestibule a military guard
from Fort Sdreven, under command of
Sergt. Clark, - watched over the re
mains.
As an escort for the remains a pla
toon of the Fourteenth Company of
Cpast Artillery from Fort Screven,
under comfnand of Lieut. Fuller, was
detailed, and during the services In
the church the troops remained drawn
up outside. The Fort Screven Band
played a ditge and at the grave
sounded taps. 0 ...• .
The funeral services were conducted
at 3 o’clock at St. John’s Episcopal
Church, by Rev. Charles H. Strong.
A large number of friends of the fam
ily attended the services. The im
pressive ritual of the church was read,
followed by the prayer for the dead.
Among the officers in uniform who
attended the funeral were Col. Ander
son of Fort Screven and Col. Quinn
of the engineer corps.
The following officers acted as hon
orary pallbearers: Capt. Joseph Da
vidson of the quartermaster’s depart
ment; Capt. Dores, Lieut. Winslow*,
Lieut. Moore and Lieut. Mason of the
Artillery Corps; Capt. G. B. Pritch
ard. Jr., of the Sixth Cavalry, and
Capt. W. W. Gordon, Troop A, First
Regiment. The active pallbearers
were six sergeants.
The floral display was beautiful,
yellow being the prevailing color in
memory of the fact that Lieut. Rob
erts was a cavalry officer, that being
the color of that branch of the serv
ice. Huge bunches of yellow crys
anthemums were in profusion. Many
floral offerings were sent by members
of his troop.
At the graVe the services of the
Episcopal Church were conducted and
the body laid to rest. The grave was
covered with yellow chrysanthemums,
this being done at the request of the
officers of the Eighth Cavalry, who
sent a part of the flowers received
from Fort Riley.
Three volleys were fired over the
grave by a detail from Fort Screven,
after which taps were sounded.
A Pretty Opening.
The opening of the new shoe store
of A. S. Nichols, 20 Broughton street,

MAY INDICT EVEN
ARMY OFFICERS
IF THEY VIOLATE B'HOUR LAW.
SPECIAL ASSISTANT ATTORNEY
GENERAL LEAKER SAYS SO.
Went Into tl.e Mutter at Length
With the Attorney General While
in Wanliiiiicton—Men Employed on
Government Work Mont Not Work
Longer Thun Eight Honrs—Effort
Will Be Made to Get Indictments
in Savannah.
Special Assistant United States At
torney General William R. Leaken
said yesterday that at the next session
of the federal grand jury several in
dictments for violation of the statute
regarding working hours while in gov
ernment employ will probably be re
turned.
"I will prosecute, without fear or
favor,” said Mr. Leaken. "Army offi
cers who have contracted for work and
permitted labor to engage in that work
for over eight hours per day, will be
indicted as individuals. The contract
ors will be indicted and also the work
men, down to the cheapest day labor
er. '
“While in Washington I had a long
talk with the Attorney General re
garding taking stringent methods to
abolish an increasing evil, and if nec
essary Judge Burch, assitant attorney
general, will assist me.”
Mr. Leaken would make no specific
charges, although he said he under
stood the law regarding laboring hours
had been violated in some of the work
being done here. If such is the case
he says all who worked over eight
hours, as well as those who were par
ties to such contracts will be indicted.
Mr. Leaken further said that where
it is found necessary labor union lead
ers who advocate longer hours for lab
orers will also be indicted, where it is
proven they are interested in govern
ment contracts.
The announcement that such strin
gent measures will be taken by the
government will be a surprise, and will
catch many of those who have con
tracted to do government work in this
locality unawares.
SAILORS AND OFFICERS
TO SLEEP ABOARD SHIP.
Hotels Have Deen Liberally Patron
ized During' Summer Months.
Next Monday will be the last day
that sailors and officers of ships in
the Savannah harbor will have to sleep
in the city, or above the bluff, as re
quired under the city ordinance.
During the last few months, while
the ordinance was in force, there has
been a noticeable increase over pre
vious years in the number of men who
have patronized the hotels.
This is largely due to the increased
number of steam vessels which have
visited this port. Officers on sailing
vessels do not, as a rule, go to the
hotels, but take quarters In cheaper
lodging houses. This is not the case
with steamships, and the hotels have
reaped a great benefit from the ordi
nance.

ALL BUT ONE HELD
FOR HIGHER COURT.
Saloon Keepers Fought Hard in
Cases Before Hecorder.
All the West Broad street saloon
keepers, charged with keeping open
after Saturday midnight, were remand
ed to the City Court by the Recorder
yesterday morning, with the exception
of Isaac Nathans, the proprietor of the
Wooden Box.
Nathans testified that he was in
Jesup at the time the bar was alleged
to have been opened. The case against
him was dismissed and his brother
Lewis Nathans, alleged to have been
in charge of the bar,was docketed in
stead, Lewis Nathans will be tried
this morning.
There was little of interest at the hear
ing before the Recorder. All of the de
fendants were represented by attorneys,
but no effort was made In any case to
prove that the saloons were not open
as charged. In some of the cases evas
ions Were sought by the attorneys, but
there was really no straight forward
defense in any of them.
The cases were tried separately and
Sergt. Woods, who had made the
cases under orders, testified as each was
called that he had seen the place open.
Those remanded to the higher court
were N. K. Pappadea, William Vol
lers, Jackson and Perry, H. Wood,
George Christopher, E. A. Hendrix,
Harry Lange, Harry A. Champion,
Ben Weitz, and Wallace & Sutke.
WIFE MAY REMARRY,
BUT HUSBAND CAN’T.
Lnuisual Verdict Brought in by Jury
in Divorce Case.
Though totally divorced and his wife
given the right to remarry, J. C. Dele
gal was debarred from that privilege
by a jury in the Superior Court yes
terday.
The jury brought in a verdict giving
the wife the right to remarry, but de
barring the husband from doing so.
Even after a second charge from the
judge, the jury returned the same ver
dict and it was made the decree of
the court.
Such a verdict is unusual. Mrs. Mol
lie Delegal was suing Joseph C. Dele
gal for a total divorce and the first
verdict had already been obtained.
When the jury went to retire, the
usual blank verdict removing the dis
abilities of both parties was given
them. But the verdict brought back,
the following words were scratched
out, “And the defendant, J. C. Dele
gal, shall be at liberty to marry
again.”
Attorney F. M. Oliver, who repre
sented the husband, asked that the
court charge the jury a second time,
and this was done. After retiring again
the jury brought in the same verdict.
OLD VETERAN FINED,
BUT SENTENCE SUSPENDED.
J. E. Hudgens, charged with run
ning a pawn shop without a license,
was found guilty before the Recorder
yesterday morning and fined sloo.' or
thirty days, but the sentence was sus
pended, owing to the sympathy arous
ed by the age of the defendant, who is
a Confederate veteran.
It was shown conclusively that the
, old man had taken articles In pawn
from negroes. He contended, however,
that he had done so merely out of
charity. In one instance, where it was
shown that he had taken money for
a loan on an article, he stated that it
was a present. Detective Mose Davis
made out the case.
DISCHARGED JURY FOR TERM.
At the conclusion of yesterday's ses
sion of the Superior Court Judge Cann
discharged the jury for the term.
The cases for to-day and to-morrow
will be heard in chambers. There are
