SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY. DECEMBER 4. 1901
SHOPLIFTERS TO
BE PROSECUTED
MERCHANTS ARE AROUSED.
AGGREGATE LOSSES APPROACH
950,000 YEARLY IN CITY.
Members Pledge Themselves to Pnb-
Ilely and Persistently Prosecute
Offenders From This Date—No Con
dition ol Life Will Be Permitted to
Excuse Transgressor Vigorous
Measure Regarded as Necessary-
Successful 4n New York.
Aroused by the boldness with which
petty thieving is being carried on in
their stores the retail merchants of
Savannah have formed an alliance
pledging themselves to prosecute to the
full extent, from this time on, of the
law all who are detected in the prac
tice.
There is to be no exception to this
pledge. Rich or poor, white or black,
the full force of the law and its se
verest penalties are to be meted out.
And the combined result of this
thieving entitles it to he styled more
than petty, the merchants declare. A
recent instance, that of the theft of
two bolts of silk valued at $l2O from
the store of Leopold Adler, is amply
illustrative of the losses retail mer
chants are called upon to sustain.
Yearly Lueses $.>0,000.
Mr. Adler, who is president of the
Retail Merchants’ Association, in dis
cussing the subject yesterday, said:
"I estimate the aggregate losses of
the members of the Retail Merchants'
Association through shoplifting around
$50,000 annually. My own losses ap
proach each year the sum of SIO,OOO.
“It is safe to say the major por
tion of this is taken by a class of vis
itors and patrons not suspected. For
a number of years it has been the
custom to hush up all cases wherein
the transgressor had a degree of
standing in the community, and there
has grown up a feeling that no prose
cutions will follow minor thefts.”
“That we have been imposed on to
an unbearable extent we are free to
say. It has become so flagrant that
we are determined to end the practice.
Our association held meeting at
which several merchants cited in
stances warranting some stringent and
prompt action. By unanimous vote the
members pledged themselves to pub
licly prosecute all offenders against
whom sufficient evidence could be ob
tained. No merchant is to be permit
ted to compromise cases as has been
done frequently in the past; they are
to prosecute without fear and without
favor.”
“By this actiori we hope to safeguard
ourselves in a measure against losses
in this direction. We certainly can by
united action and by recourse to the
courts end this evil. The enormity of
the practice has brought us to this
step, and I am satisfied every mem
ber will stand by the pledge.”
Modeled After New York.
This manner of safe guarding
against the shop-lifter evil is being
tried in New York city with a great
degree of success. There the losses
are said to amount to the enormous
sum of $500,000 yearly. But that sum
is no more to the New York mer
chants than is $50,000 to Savannah
merchants.
Wealth and social position will not
be accepted in New York as a reason
for clemency in the case of any per
son found guilty of shop-lifting. Such
a step was considered radical by many
merchants there when taken, but it
has worked so satisfactorily that all
opposition has subsided. It is now
regarded as highly proper and en
tirely warranted.
When the theft of the valuable silks
from the Adler store became known
the merchants of Savannah expressed
themselves as satisfied that the time
for the abatement of the evil was pro
pitious. A special meeting was called
and action modeled after the New'
York plan, which has been attended
by such happy results, was taken.
Good# of All Kind* Taken.
This form of larceny penetrates to
every department of every store. All
manner of articles are abstracted by
the offender.
It Is often puzzling to figure out
how some of the articles taken could
be concealed and removed from the
building when It Is the duty of each
clerk to be on constant lookout. Often
the offenders are detected and then
follows a scene embarrassing to all
concerned. But in many, many cases
the pilfering Is accomplished success
fully.
Any form of protection thrown about
this class of criminals, but serves to
spread the belief that no punishment
will follow detection. An example be
ing made of a dozen or more cases will
have a salutary effect In decreasing the
losses sustained yearly, because of this
class of misdemeanor, the merchants
believe.
THKVALTE OF CHARCOAL.
Few Peopl j Know How Useful It Is
in Preserving Health and Beauty.
Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize its value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal Is a remedy that the more
you take of it the better: it is not a
drug at all. but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present In
the stomach and intestines and car
ries them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating on
ions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and im
proves the complexion; it whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural
and eminently safe cathartic.
It absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels: it
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another, but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
is in Stuart’s Charcoal Lozengca; they
are composed of the finest powdered
Willow charcoal, and other harmless
antiseptics In tablet form or rather
in the form of large, pleasant tasting
lozenges, the charcoal being mixed
with honey.
The dally use of these lozenges will
soon tell in a much Improved condi
tion of the general health, better com
plexion. sweeter breath and purer
blood, and the beauty of It la, that no
possible harm can result from their
continued use, but on tha contrary,
great benefit.
A Buffalo physician in speaking of
the benefits of charcoal, aays: "I ad
vise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all
patienta suffering from gaa In atom
aoh and bowala, and to clear tha com
plexion and purify the braath, mouth
and throat; T alao believe the liver la
graally benefited by the dally use of
them: they cost but twanty-flve cents
a box at drug stores, and although
In some sense a pat ant preparation, yet
I believe I get more end batter char
coal In Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges
than In any of the ordinary charcoal
tablets."

Commander H. S. Colding of the
Naval Reserves, who is making prep
erations for the entertainment of the
officers of the training ship Hartford,
says he thinks the ship will reach Sa
vannah within the next week.
He has not yet bean advised as to
the exact day on which to expect the
Hartford. When last heard from the
ship was near Baltimore, and it was
not known then when it would start
for Savannah.
The officers and crew of the Hart
ford will be the recipients of many at

FORMER RESIDENT
DROPPED DEAD AT FIRE.
Captain Wllllniu P. Lewis Succumbs
at Hysnnli, Mass.
During a fire at Hyannis, Mass., yes
terday, Capt. William Lewis, a re
tired ship master, formerly of Savan
nah, dropped dead from the excite
ment.
For a number of years Capt. Lewis
commanded a packet between Savan
nah and Liverpool, and at the con
clusion of that service took command
of a vessel plying between this port
and Boston. He will be recalled by
many of the older residents and by
some of the younger generation, as
he lived near the summer homes of
Savannahians on Cape Cod.
The fire was a big one, destroying
thirteen structures, including the Uni
versalist Church. The Savannah sum
mer homes are but two and a half
miles from the scene of the conflagra
tion. The property damage done by
the fire Is estimated at $150,000.
Capt. Lewis was attempting to save
his residence from the flames when he
succumbed to heart disease.

So short a time, and yet so long to
the loved ones left desolate. How sad
ly we miss him in the home circle,
where he was so needed, and where
he brought so much happiness by his
loving thoughtfulness and tender so
licitude for his loved ones. Our hearts
are aching with the sense of our be
reavement, for we can never again lean
on him as we were wont to do and
feel the sunshine of his presence.
His was a rare nature, his genial
charm of manner and kindly sympathy
drawing many to him, winning him
the tribute of men’s high regard and
faith. His true manliness, gentle con
sideration, and strength of character
won him a hoet of friends on whose
loyalty he could depend. In all the
duties of life he was ever faithful to
the trust reposed In him, and enjoyed
the confidence of the public in the
business world.
He was a man of great personal
magnetism, and the friends he made
were his friends always.
Hweet memories stifle pain, lessening
the burden of our sorrow, and we can
rejoice In the thought that we have

PUSH CONSTRUCTION.
Three Yonng Men Hurried to Sn

pleted liy Dec. Hit— Philadelphia
Firm Determined That There
Shall lie No Delay.
The workton the United States Ma
rine Hospital has not been progress
ing as rapidly as desired, principal de
lay being occasioned by the failure of
the material to arrive promptly.
Last week the contractors. Cramp &
Cos., sent anew set of foremen to take
charge of the construction of the build
ing, and they were ordered to use all
means in their power to facilitate rapid
erection. Mr. Wlnnai Is the new su
perintendent in charge, Mr. Cassidy
foreman of brick layers, and Mr. Wal
lace, foreman of the carpenter work.
They are from Philadelphia and are
young men.
Mr. Wlnnai. the superintendent,
states from now on he is In hopes the
work will progress rapidly, and by
Dec. 20, he will have the entire first
story complete. The concrete floors
have been laid and the outer brick
walls of this story are rapidly going
uy.
When the building is completed it
will be one of the handsomest edifices
In the city, 131 feet long and 52 feet
lit hight. The architectural construc
tion of the outside of the building will
be added to by its being plastered and
pebble-dashed. This finish Is expect
ed, to add greatly to the beauty of the
building It will be five stories from
the basement, and will have a large
inclosed balcony in front, with mas
sive archways overlooking the walk.
The floor of the balcony will be puved
with marble. The large archways will
surround the entire building.
The Inside work will be of cypreßS;
the corridors and halls of marble and
the floors of the rooms of hard-wood.
Mr. Cassidy says the reported strike
among the laborers a few days ago did
not inconvenience him but a very few
hours. The trouble arose, when one
of the negroes using a wheelbarrow re
fused to obey Instructions, and was
ordered to the oflice to get his pay. The
dlseharged man happened to be the
president of one of the labor unions
and called off several other workmen.
The labor, however, was of a low class,
and no trouble was experienced in re
placing the men, Mr. Cassidy says.

PATENT SECURED ON
HOSPITAL GARMENT.
Savanuah Lnily lias Invented Valua
ble Device far Hospital Use.
Letters of patent, covering the
United States and Canada, have been
secured by Mrs. Virginia Whitehead
Glover of this city on a hospital gar
ment, a valuable device for use in the
hospitals and sick rooms. The letters
were received yesterday morning.
The garment is in two pieces, so
arranged that the entire front can be
easily removed without any movement
whatever on the part of the patient.
The front part of the garment but
tons to the back, the buttons being In
such a position that the wearer of the
garment does not He upon them. The
sleeves, which are attached to the
front, button together over the arm
instead of the arm being slipped
through them. When the two parts of
the garment are fastened together,
either with buttons, safety pins, or
with ribbons, the entire garment Is as
compact as are the present ones in
one piece.
The fact that the garment is in two
pieces makes it very valuable. It Is
designed especially for use In cases
where the patient Is unable to be
moved. In operations, typhoid fever
cases, and in the treatment of many
other diseases, the garment will be
almost Invaluable. If the patient Is
to be sponged the garment can be un
buttoned. turned back, and when the
sponging has been completed, button
ed back Into position again. No move
ment whatever on the part of the pa
tient is necessary and the front of
the gnrment can be changed from
time to time as occasion demands
without disturbing the wearer in the
least.
Samples of the garment have been
sent to Bellevue Hospital in New
York, to the hospitals in the other
large cities of the country, and to the
Savannah hospitals. Letters from the
physicians and surgeons at all of these
institutions speak In the highest
terms of the device and characterize
it as almost Invaluable in the treat
ment of serious cases. The Savan
nah medical men also highly praise
the device and predict that within a
few years It will be in general use In
all hospitals throughout the country.
Mrs. Glover Is the daughter of the
Hon. John Berrien Whitehead. She
has many friends In Savannah who
will be glad to learn of her valuable
contribution to the methods of car
ing for the comfort and successful
treatment of the sick.

IN BIG DAMAGE SUIT.
Pierce T)amnue Mult Heard Yester
day tlefore Judge rami.
Argument on the demurrers submit
ted In the case of Mrs. Mary Pierce
against the Seaboard Air Line Railway,
action for $40,000 damages, was heard
yesterday before Judge Cann in the
Superior Court.
Mr. J. Randolph Anderson appeared
for the defendant and Mr. Frank M.
Oliver, of Twiggs & Oliver, for the
plaintiff. At the conclusion of the
argument Judge Cann announced he
would take the matter under advise
ment and announce Ills decision later.
The first point In the demurrer was
that the petition of the plaintiff alleged
that the accident which killed her
husband was not caused through any
fault or negligence on his part, and
that he in no way consented or con
tributed to It. The demurrer set up
that because the petition did not state
what the deceased was doing at the
time of the accident that It Is in er
ror.
The second point of the demurrer
is that the petition states the accident
was caused through negligence on the
part of the agents, officers, or em
ployes of the defendant company, and
does not state what agents or em
ployes are meant.
The third point Is that the plaintiff
sues for $40,000, representing the “legal
and proper value” of her husband's
life. Owing to the fact that the meth
ods of computing the value of a life
under the luws of Georgia and under
the laws of Florida differ, the defend
ant contends that the petition should
have set forth the facts required under
the Florida law instead of confining
itself to the Georgia law.
The other points of demurrer were
of minor Importance.

Police Court to try Christmas Eve
violators of the city statutes will be
held this year between II and 12
o'clock on the night of Dec. 24, and
the police department will have an
automobile for emergency calls.
This announcement does not carry
much Importance with It now, but it
will be a source of much relief to those
who do accidentally fall from grace,
and would be faced with the unde
sirable situation of spending Christmas
day in a crowded prison, on the eve
of the great holiday.
It Is anticipated that Christmas Eve
this year will be even more turbulent
than the same occasion last year, as
it falls on Saturday. In past years
the capacity of the city prison has
been taxed to its utmost limits, and
in order to relieve the situation the
municipal court of justice will com
mence grinding Saturday night, which
wtU greatly relieve the prison and
peaee of mind of those who fall Info
the hands of the police for one cause
or another.
None Will Escape,
The police stated yesterday that such
a proceeding would be necessary. Not
only are there a great many arrests on
Christmas Eve, but also on Christmas
Day.
Where Christmas Eve came on one
of the week days other than Satur
day, a busy session of Police Court was
always held on Christmas Day. As
Christmas Day comes on Sunday this
year, those locked up on Christmas
Eve would have to wait until the day
after Christmas for trial, and It Is not
believed that there Is sufficient room
at the police station to accommodate
the expected large number of offend
ers.
Until In recent years It was the cus
tom to discharge all persons charged
With betng drunk on Christmas, but
the city is not so lenient now, and
drunks and disorderlies will have to
suffer In the same old way this year
pay their fines or go to the gang.
This year Christmas will be observed
for a longer time than usually. Com
ing on Sunday as It does, It will really
be celebrated on Monday, when the
game of football will be played be
tween Savannah and Jacksonville.
Automobile for Police,
The superintendent of police will car
ry out the same plans practiced last
Christmas In keeping down lawlessness
and undue hilarity. From 6 o'clock
In tha evening until 12 o'clock at night
on Christmas Eve the entire police
force will b* on duty on the street.
There will be a special reserve at po
lice headquarters. The detectives will
remain at police headquarters from
Saturday morning until Monday, sleep
ing at the station and answering all
calls.
The superintendent has made ar
rangements to have an automobile this
year for emergency purposes. When
ever a report comes in of an unusually
serious crime special officers and de
tectives will be sent to the scene at
once In the automobile.
In Yamucraw the "Famous Flying
Squadron,” which did such effective
work last year will be on duty. This
squad consists of twelve mounted pa
trolmen.
In former years the striking of the
clock announcing midnight on Christ
mas Eva. has been the signal for a
number of cutting or shooting affrays.
Special efforts will be made this year
to see that nothing of the kind takes
place.
The police will vigorously enforce the
ordinance relating to the firing of fire
works north of Liberty street. No fire
crackers, skyrockets or any other de
vice will be allowed to be fired In the
district north of Liberty street. They
can be fired on the Park Extension
and on all city parks except those on
Bull street.

mains of Mrs. Johanna Daly took
place yesterday afternoon at 3 o’clock
from her residence. No. 409 Charlton

Mrs. Gordon Harrison served tea at
the Savannah Golf Club yesterday aft
