12 THROUGH A HOLE HE GOT HIS PAY METHODS OF POLICY SHOP AS TOLD BY GEORGE YOIYG WERE SOMEWHAT NOVEL. Kraro Drvrloprd Astonishing Igunr nnrt* anil a Rnil Memory—Could Not Even Remember 'Who Employed Him—He Wa* Indicted for Gamb ling—Cempmiton Canglit in the Halit W’aa First Indicted nnd Then Set Free—A Fruitless Raid by Dep uties. Besides the large list of indictments of Savannahians who had failed to pay up specific taxes the grand jury yesterday had some rather startling developments in the policy line. Two negroes who were caught Wednesday were indicted. One of them was la ter released. George Young gave some rather as tonishing information as to how policy shops are run. At the same time he developed a most remarkable memory, coupled with a dense ignorance that no amount of cross-examination and sharp questioning could pierce. Hnd n Bad Memory. When Young appeared before the grand jury he was asked who employ ed him to write policy, the act in which the deputies caught him. George naively replied that he didn’t know who was his employer. This was a poser and question after question was fired at him, but without avail. His Ignorance resisted them all. Finally, when close-pressed he did remember that the man who hired him was named ‘’Charlie," but he was unable to recall his last name. Then he was assaulted on anew opening and was asked who paid him for his work. Again he persisted that he didn’t known. When called upon to explain how this was. he said he was paid off thtough a hole, the money be ing shoved out to him, securely wiapped in paper. If he was short in his pay, he wrote out how much he was short on a slip of paper, pushed it back through the hole, and then the amount needed to complete his wages was pushed back to him. Where the hole led to he was unable to say. Ali efforts to change this testimony or to refresh the memory of the wit ness failed. He was indicted for gam bling. Turned Williams Loose. An indictment was also found against Williams, the negro who was caught at. the same time Cooper was. Williams was charged with playing policy. The negro's record, however, was a good one. and he maintained that he had not been playing policy, and in fact, never had indulged in the game. He brought forward proof that he was a working negro and without any evi dence against him, the indictment was withdrawn. Shortly after 5 o'clock four deputies descended on a place In Congress lane, between Whitaker and Barnard streets, but though they entered both through the front and rear, they found nothing suspicious and came away empty handed. Indictments for Taxes. As stated in the Morning News sev eral days ago, persons .who had not paid their specific taxes and their gen eral taxes, came under the ban. and were indicted on misdemeanor chargee. The following is the list: Liquor dealers: Mrs. A. Klley, Paul Berntheim, Fred Blenjes, Mary Jacob son, Theo. Fincken, George Cooper, W. B. Ferguson, Harley G. Cunningham, Charles and John Wilkins, E. Kala maras, W. H. Rainey and James Mc- Guire. For not paying the specific tax im posed on dentists an indictment was returned against Dr. Charles Back man. Dr. B. P. Oliveros was Indict ed for not paying the physician’s tax. John L. Archer is also held on a mis demeanor charge, because of unpaid specific taxes, and Attorney Frank P. Salas was indicted because he had not paid the specific tax imposed on attor neys. J. Rousseau was indicted for use of opprobrious language to J. Hadley Purvis. CITY DEBTORS MUST PAY LEGAL INTEREST. Every Effort Being Made to Get Large Sum By First of Year. All parties owing the city bills, ■whether for taxes, paving, Water rent, or anything else, which are past due, ■will be charged 7 per cent, per annum on the amount until the bills are paid. The city is losing the interest which It would receive by depositing the mon ey In the bank, and the officials say it Is nothing but right that the debtors should be made to jfay. Bills against the city have been rath er heavy lately, and the officials are trying to offset this by collecting as much as possible of the money due Alderman J. M. Dixon, the chairman of the Finance Committee, sfated yes terday that It would be useless for any one to apply for relief from paying the 7 per cent. •'The city Is losing the interest,” said the finance chairman, “and those who are responsible for It should be nnfade to pay." The paving bills on the two assess ment rolls passed by 'Council Wednes day night, were mailed yesterday. As these bills have to be paid within thir ty days, the city will get In the money before the first of the new year. NELSOnTwOMAN HELD ON THREE CHARGES. Mary Nelson was bound over to await the action of the grand Jury on three charges of larceny after trust by Recorder Myrick yesterday morn ing. This Is the woman who took In wash ing from a number of families and failed to return It. When an Investi gation was made much of the cloth ing was found at pawn shops, and Identified by the owners. Those ap pearing against the negro were Mrs. J. Nathans, 'Mrs. Fraps and Dr. Cour shon. Most of the clothing which was seized and carried to police headquar ters was called for and Identified yes terday. TWO HELD FOIt Ml HIiLARY. Joseph Miller and James Brown, who were arrested by Detective Moee Davie several days ago charged with burg glarlzlng the room of William Pitts and Will Brothers, were bound over fo the Superior Court by Recorder Myrick yesterday morning. Joe Miller was attempting to pawn clothes at a pawn ahop, where Profilers worked, and Prothers recognised them se clothes taken from hie room. Miller says he got the clothes from Brown. I PROFESSIONAL MEN RUSHED TO COURT HOUSE. ! Tax Collector Kept llnay Accommo dating Anxious Payers. It was a busy day yesterday for Tax Collector Thomson and his force, and the rush to pay taxes was somewhat startling. Thronged about the entrance to the Court House were the carriages and automobiles of physicians and den tists, while within the office was a med ical and surgical force that could have cured all the ills the flesh is heir to in little or no time. And instead of collecting fees they were all paying taxes, all in a scramble to get the lit tle receipt which saved them from in dictment by the grand Jury. They were almost as numerous as the Japs around Port Arthur. The legal profession was also very busy. Notwithstanding that during the morning hours both the Superior Court and the City Court were in ses sion, dignified attorneys hustled by and never stopped until they had connect ed with a tax collector. Then they placed a little thank offering on his desk and a few minutes later turned away, smilingly folding a small piece of paper, across the face of which was stamped the word "Paid." That little paper kept several attorneys from ap pearing later In the Superior Court to defend themselves against a misde meanor charge. Business men were rushing to the collector’s office and making deposits in his bank. Liquor merchants dropped small piles before the genial clerks and went away happy in the possession of a receipt. It was a great pay day, a great day for the gatherer of tribute to the state. At'night. when the sums were added together, it was found that more than S7OO had been added to the state treasury because the Superior Court grand jury had announced it would put the law In op eration. SUBWAY ONLY ABOUT HALF FINISHED. Not Thought That It Can Be Com pleted By .lan. 1. Work on the Gwinnett, street subway has progressed more rapidly during the last week, but it is still behind, if it is to be finished in contract time, which is Jan. 1. The work is now only about half fin ished. So far about 9,000 cubic yards of earth have been excavated and about 500 cubic yards of concrete have been put in. There are only about 1,- 000 more cubic yards of excavating, which the contracting company is to do, but there are about 2,000 cubic yards of concrete In all to be laid. On the east side of the Coast Line tracks, the walls are already built to where the railway walls will be. On the west side of the tracks, the con crete forms have just been started. A pile driver Is now being constructed and the work under the tracks of the Coast Line will start as soon as the driver is completed. The Coast Line itself will put in all the iron work for the trestle, which is to support its tracks, but all of the masonry is to be put in by the Savannah Lumber Com pany, which has the contract for the subway. Mr. Lawrence McNeil, president of the contracting company, is super vising the subway personally now and it is being pushed much more rapid ly. It is not thought, however, that it can be finished on time, no matter how fast the work is carpied on now. MISS LYNAH TO IDENTIFY SUSPECTED MEN TO-DAY. Young lastly Has Returned From Charleston to Fact* Burglar, Recovered from the effects of her harrowing experience with a burly ne gro intruder several weeks ago. Miss Eloise Lynah has returned from Charleston, and will probably face the two mer. held at the police station as suspects to-day. Will Wadley, the first negro arrested, 4s being held on a charge of carrying concealed weapons. He had a pistol in his pocket when arrested. Will Pat terson, the second negro, is being held on a charge of burglary. It was charged by Mr. James Robinson that a coat found In Patterson's room be longed to him, and was stolen from the Duffy street hall some weeks ago. One of these men la believed to have been the man who entered the Lynah home, and with a‘pistol, commanded Miss Lynah to keep silent Both men answer the description given by Miss Lynah. Patterson 4s better known as “Race Horse,” and Detective Davis, who made both arrests, is inclined to the belief he is more probably the man wanted. BRICK CONTRACT NOT YET DECIDED UPON. Neither the High Nor the Low Bid der Will Get Contract. The Streets and Lanes Committee of Council has not yet let the brick contract, bids for which were opened some time ago. No decision has as yet been reached by the committee, but It Is understood neither the highest nor the lowest bid der will get the contract. There is a possibility of enough brick being bought from the highest bidder, the Mack Manufacturing Company of Philadelphia, to pave Bay street from Price to Barnard. The bulk of the con tract, however, will go either to the Southern Clay Manufacturing Compa ny, of Robbins, Tenn.. or the Graves Shale Brick Company of Birmingham, or will be divided between these con cerns. The probabilities are that the contract will be divided between these two, with only a small purchase. If any at all, from the Mack company. ALDERMAN J. M. DIXON WAS THE ACTING MAYOR. Mayor Herman Myers was absent from ,the city yesterday and Alderman James M. Dixon, chairman of Council, was the acting mayor. Acting Mayor Dixon was kept busy signing the bills which had been passed by Council Wednesday night. As Thursday was Thanksgiving and a holiday, the bills were not signed Im mediately after the meeting of Council, as Is usually the case. Mayor Myers Is expected to return this morning. He went to Macon to attend a meeting of the directors of the Macon Street Railway Company, of which he is the president. HAS STOOD THK TKrTzT YEARS. Grove's Tasteless Chill Tonic.

MORE THAN FIFTY PLACED IN HANDS OF DEPUTY MARSHAL. Court Will Convene Monday Morn ing at W hich Time Judge Emory Speer Will Deliver Charge to Grand Jury—Criminal fuses That Are Now On Calendnr— Cases Will Prohahly Be Passed. Court Officials Expected To-night. It is now practically certain that Judge Emory Speer will open the United States District Court In Savan nah on Monday morning. This was made evident by the re ceipt of an order by the Savannah of ficials to subpoena witnesses to ap pear before both the grand jury and the court on Monday. About fifty sub poenas were forwarded to the Savan nah officials. , The federal grand jury has been drawn and the majority of the jurors served with an order to appear for duty at the United States Court House on Monday morning. The names of grand jurors cannot be obtained yet owing to the order of the court which forbids the names being given out for publication until the grand Juror is sworn in. Officers Who Are Coming. Judge Speer is expected to reach Sa vannah on Sunday night or early Mon day morning. District Attorney Alex ander Akerman and his assistant, Mr. Storer, are expected to-night. Mar shal George White, Chief Deputy Mar shal Henry Tucker, and Deputy Stal naker will arrive at the same time, or on Monday morning. Stenographer Talley will accompany Judge Speer. The programme of the court has al ready been outlined in the Morning News. The grand jury will first be sworn and the criminal cases then pre sented for its consideration. The charge of Judge Speer, always one of the most interesting features of the sessions of the court, will be delivered Monday morning. Criminal Cases On Docket. The criminal docket is a heavy one. Several cases are still pending and a number of them will not be touched at this sitting of the court. Besides these cases, the cases sent to the court by United States Commissioner Hewlett will come up before the grand jury and possibly be acted upon by the court. The chief interest centers In the peonage cases. The case against John E. Foy of Effingham county and against Barnes of Bulloch county will be presented to the grand jury and In dictments asked. The peonage liridict ments against W. F. Crawley and Thomas J. McClellan, three cases; Thomas J. McClellan, eight cases; C. B. McLeod, J. A. McLeod and Lester Williamson, three cases; and against J. M. Cobb and George P. Hart, are still on the dockets. No action will be taken in these cases, however, un til the Supreme Court has rendered its decision in the case appealed from Florida. Other Cases of Interest, Among the other criminal cases of interest still on the docket are the cases against B. D. Greene, John F. Gay nod, and others, on conspiracy. Owing to the fact that these defend ants persistently refused to come Into court, no action will be taken at this session. The scire facias against the same two defendants Is also on the docket. Kidnapping charges are pending against Jack Johnson, two charges; Jack Johnson and Whitty McDonald, two cases: John Bloom and Harry Ol sen, three cases. Nolle prosequies will probably be entered in the Olsen cases, as he is now serving sentence Imposed at the last session of the court. For violation of the Jtostal laws cases are docketed against Joseph H. King, John W. Harrell. John C. Thompson, Plymouth Fraser. John R. Jones, and Bessie Williams. Besides these postal violation cases there will be the cases sent up by Commissioner Hewlett during the last few months. For violation of pension laws there are cases against Henry Shiggs, alias Henry Jones, Charlotte Young, and one case awaiting the action of the grand jury. For counterfeiting, besides Commis sioner Hewlett's cases, there are cases against W. A. Bowman and W. J. Brannen. Besides these cases there are a number of defendants held for alleged Illicit distilling, and Edward Tlschler will face the grand jury on a charge of receiving smuggled goods. Common Law and Admiralty. Among the common law oases are those against Capt. Carter, against the Peaoock-Hurlt West Company, against the Ellis-Young Company and two cases against the Central of Georgia Rail way Company. Among the equity cases of Interest are those of the Interstate Commerce Commission against the Ocean Steam ship Company, John S. Barstow against Isaac Beckett and others, the Injunction proceedings against Capt. Carter and J. B. Holst and others against the city of Savannah and the Savannah Electric Company. In the admiralty cases the most in teresting are those in which the trou bles of the Empire Dredging Company are Involved, those against the steam tug Inca and the Emily Northsm, and the case against the schooner Hilda. There are thirty-four bankrupts pe titioning for discharge and eight cases In which there are objections to a dis charge. The report of the Rauers ap praisers will also 'be made to this ses sion of the court and some action probably taken. PEEPING TOM GIVEN SIXTY DAYS ON GANG. John Mllley, the negro who was ar rested by Detective Murphy and Chief Deputy Sheriff Sweeny after a hard chase Thursday night, was tried be fore Recorder Myrick yesterday morn ing on a charge of disorderly conduct and peeping through blinds of resi dents on Hast Oglethorpe avenue. He was sentenced to serve thirty days on the chatngang. Mllley wa* given such a hard run by the officers that he could not re member his name when he was re turned to the police station.

Alderman Dixon has a plan to pro vide for the purchasing and distribu tion of supplies for the city that will probably be put into force at the be ginning of next year. The purchasing agent for the city, which has been suggested, will not, according to this plan, be made a separate office. The plan now being considered is to have the clerk of Council purchase all the minor supplies for all departments of the city, and to have the messenger of Council made the keeper of city supplies. Under this plan, Mr. Creamer, the clerk, would at the be ginning of the year, purchase suffi cient of these supplies to last several months. The supplies would then be turned over to Mr. Gradot, the mes senger of Council, who would give them out to the various departments only on the requisition of the heads of departments. This would put a great deal more work on the messenger of Council and would probably mean an increase in salary for him. But the increase would probably be more than saved by the city on the supplies. Alderman Dixon has not yet submitted his plan to the Finance Committee, but he in tends to do so soon. Alderman Dixon has already pre pared blanks for the requisitions from the various departments, and blanks upon w-hlch the keeper of the supplies would report monthly to the Mayor. This monthly report would show ex actly what each of the departments had used and the Mayor could tell at a glance whether any department had been exceptionally extravagant. Under the plan suggested only pen cils, pens, ink, scratch pads, stamps, erasers and similar articles will be bought and given out on requisition, but even on these it is thought quite a sum will be saved. COUNTY MAY REFUSE TO PAY THE CITY. Garbage Contract Matter ta Not Yet Settled By Otßelala. The County Commissioners are kick ing on paying the city the money which the county owes on the garbage con tract and serious complications may result before the matter is ended. Though the city has A contract with the county calling for the payment of a specific amount, the commissioners have so far failed to pay and the con ference yesterday was without any im mediate result. Alderman James M. Dixon, the chairman of the city Finance Commit tee, and the director of public works met with County Commissioners La throp and Moore and Clerk Reuben Butler to discuss the matter. Though the conference lasted two hours, the only decision reached was that the commissioners would refer the matter to the entire board at the next meet ing, Dec. 8. The commissioners now claim the county Is not getting its money’s worth and the bills may be held up In definitely. The city officials, however, insist that county is under abso lute contract, and that the bills must be paid. The money Involved, $4,200, has already, been paid to the Savan nah Electric Company for hauling the garbage which the county used. The city has a contract with the rail way company to pay the entire amount for hauling I 'khe* garbage. It has an-* other contract with the county to pay the city offe-half of the amount. City officials say' tne county should jifet have made'the'contract If the com missioners don't Intend to pay It. As the county h'&s the use of the garbage all this time, the city will insist that immediate payment be made. The contract has a number of years yet to run. ARE LEGAL TANGLES IN THIS DAMAGE CASE. Case Aznlmt Southern Railway- Goea to Liberty County. The case of Muryea Wright against the Southern Railway Company was called yesterday in the Superior Court. The case is a damage suit and has been pending for some time. The plaintiff Is represented by Twiggs & Oliver and the defendant company by Osborne & Lawrence. A demurrer was first filed in the case by counsel for the defendant, but this was overruled. Yesterday a plea of jurisdiction was entered and the case submitted to the Jury on its mer its. After hearing the evidence in the case, and having the law expounded by Judge Cann, the jury retired and found a verdict in favor of the plea. This transfers the case to the Liberty county court. It may be It will be carried directly to the Supreme Court for a decision on some of the legal points involved. There is a serious tangle on the ques tions as to which road Is responsible for the damage for which suit is brought. The road owning the tracks has been owned by several companies, whose names have been changed, and which have been swallowed up by the larger roads, and the Southern to-day is not the sole owner of the line. There Is even a question as to wheth er the Southern Is more than a lessee. CAPE CO[fPARTY HERE TO INSPECT COASTS. Represent Fishermen Who With to Come South lu Winter, Capt. E. T. Carpenter and twelve fishermen from Cape Cod arrived In Savannah on the Merrimack of the Merchants and Miners Transportation Company yesterday morning, on a trip of Inspection of Southern coasts with a view to coming South each winter to ply their trade. Mr. J. F. Ward, trav eling passenger agent of the company, Is sponsor for the trip. Extreme cold weather prevent* fish ing In Cape Cod waters In the winter season. This means that the fishermen must remain unemployed a larger por tion of the year than they can afford. With the Idea that fishing might be good enough in the waters along the coasts of the South to warrant com ing here during the winter season, this party was delegated to investigate. Capt. Carpenter expressed himself as highly pleased with the outlook around Savannah. The coming of these peo ple to this region would mean much for the city. The party left yesterday for the coasts of Florida, but will stop In Savannah on Its return. Two Train* Daily to Ratters Cities via Southern Itallnar.

COLD IN DEATH WHEN DOOR WAS FORCED AND ROOM ENTERED. # Money and Other Effects Found Un der His Pillow—Theory of Police Is That Gas Jet Wa* Left Open While Gas Was Turned Off and Was Turned On at Meter While the Greek Sicpt—Nothing to Sup port Suicide Theory. Thomas Padakis, a Greek who con ducted a “red hot” stand at No. 32? West Broad street, was found dead from asphyxiation in his room up stairs at Perry lane and West Broad street yesterday morning between 11 and 12 o’clock. There was nothing to Indicate sui cide, and the theory of the police Is that the gas jet was left open In Padakis’ room, and that the gas was turned on at the meter while h? was in bed. Under the dead man’s pillow was found a purse containing $29.35, anew gold watch and a bank book which showed a deposit of $l9O in the Com mercial Bank. Ga* Filled the llouae. The Greek left his place of business Thursday night at twenty minutes past 12 o’clock. It was his custom to get up about 9 o’clock to go to his place of business. Louis Apostols, who was in the employ of the dead man, grew suspicious when his employer did not show up at 10 o'clock, and went to his room to wake him. He told Mrs. Burner, who conducts the apartments where Padakis lived, and together they went to the man’s room. Continued knocking elicited no response, and there was a very per ceptible smell of gas. The door was forced open, and there was a rush of gas which nearly overcame .Mrs. Bur ner and Apostols. As soon as the room had cleared of gas to sufficiently per mit the entrance of the man and wom an the windows were raised, and Padakis was found cold in death. A report was immediately made at po lice headquarters, and Mounted Ser geant Woods, accompanied by a Morn ing News reporter, made an investi gation. Was Not Suicide. It developed that Padakis was not permitted to use the gas jet in his room. He retired by the light of a candle. The burner had been taken from the gas jet, and there was a stop cock near the meter which sup plied gas for the entire house. It is believed that this valve w'as shut off at night as soon as Mrs. Burner fin ished cooking, and was turned on again in the morning. In some way the Jet in Padakis’ room \v*as opened dur ing the day, and while he was asleep early in the morning the gas was turn ed on at the meter. From all appearances the Greek was In good circumstances, land so far as could be learned there was nothing which would have prompted him to commit suicide. He had money in the bank, and his income was evident ly amply sufficient for his needs. He was 31 years of age, and has a distant relative, who lives in Savan nah. His name has not yet bean as certained by the police. Undertaker Weeks took charge of the body and carried It to his establishment to pre pare it for burial. IMPROVING EMMET PARK WILL BfeGIN TO-DAY. Staking Off Driveway Preparatory to Putting Down Curbing. The Improvement of Emmet Park will be begun to-day by the city. Though the work to be done at once is insignificant in comparison with that to be done during the coming year, It Is really the beginning of making Em met Park one of the real parks of the city. The only provision made for the Im provement of the park is the laying out of the driveway,\which was pro vided for In the settlement of the case In the Superior Court. It is the in tention of the city authorities to later lay out walks, plant grass and to otherwise improve the park. The staking off of the driveway through the park will be started this morning. As soon as this Is finished, the aotifal laying of the curb stones which are to bound the driveway will begin. So far no appropriation has been made, even for the paving of the driveway, but it was understood when the case was settled that the city was to greatly improve the p'ark. WILL BUILD TRAMWAY TO FERTILIZER PLANT. Southern States Company Now Con sidering 'nils Improvement. The Southern States Phosphate and Fertilizer Company is contemplating the building of a tramway from the river front over the wharves of the Atlantic Coast Line to the company’s plant. The tramway will be one of the longest in this section of the coun try, over half a mile long. It is proposed to have double tracks the entire distance. Just when the work is to be started or whether the tramway is to be operated by steam or electricity has not been determined. Such a road would greatly Increase the facilities of the factory, which has been a decided success. The erection of a double track railway, thirty feet in the air, is a rather large undertak ing, however, and It may be some time before It Is started. A Fall Medicine.

Jung Ling, “the heathen Chinee” who has been domiciled for the last six weeks or more in Chatham county jail, will begin the journey to his boy hood home this morning. In the Orient there is awaiting him a name as long as a city block and as beautiful as that language that is printed in chicken-feet marks will al low. Jung is in a hurry to get away, and his almond eyes glistened and his Chink soul bounded with delight when he was told to prepare to weigh an chor. Jung will be treated with all the courtesies given to a prince of the na tion.

In a difficulty over 20 cents Jacob Powell cut Lonnie Brannen’s throat at the Southern Cotton Oil Works yes terday afternoon, and at. a late hour last night little hope was entertained for the wounded negro’s recovery. There were no eye witnesses- to the difficulty, but a number of workmen at the Southern Cotton Oil Works ap peared on the scene before Powell could have made his escape, and he was held until an officer arrived. The wounded negro was taken to his home at 654 Pine street, where Dr. R. H. Johnson attended him, taking eleven stitches to close the gaping wound. Brannen had bled profusely and was very weak. He was unable to say any thing about the difficulty. When seen at the police station Powell refused to talk. \ FRANK DUNCAN NOT MAN WANTED HERE.
