meet with the approval of the com
manding officer can be chosen.

meeting. Those placed on the roll were
Maj. W. W. Williamson. Rev. Mr. C.
H. Strong, formerly chaplain, and
Lieut. J. D. Carswell and J. \v.

Cutting Prices—
Catting Tailoring.
Tailoring is peculiar in this:
The buyer buys on faith, and
what he sees when buying rep
resents only a small part of the
agreed price.
Any cutting in price may easily
he covered by sacrifice of work or
trimmings, and "cut price” in
tailoring really means "cut tailor
ing.”
Our cutters and tailors are doing
the same excellent work as early
In the season—our assortment is
still complete and our reputation
will be preserved by paying enough
for our work to preserve It.

NEAR TO DEATH
BY ASPHYXIATION
WERE DISCOVERED IN TIME.
MAN AND WOMAN FOUND IN UN
CONSCIOUS CONDITION.
Affair Took Place in Ifonae on Tay
lor Street—Strong C’irciiin.tnnce.
of Accident—Herbert Davis Bad
Marie Long in Ho.|>ltal*—Neither
Party Able to Mnke Statement, but
Police Will Conduct Thorough in
vestigation To-day.
Timely discovered was all that saved
a woman and her companion from
asphyxiation at Hazel Miller’s place at
No. 319 Taylor street, west, yesterday.
The police will to-day investigate the
matter thoroughly to determine whether
there was any intent of suicide on the
part of either of the occupants of the
room, and it is possible arrests will be
made.
The man who was in the room was
identified by a Mr. Moore as Herbert
M. Davis, of Columbia, S. C. He is a
bartended by profession, but has not
been employed since he has been in Sa
vannah, about one month. The woman’s
name is Marie Long. She was known
to the inmates of the house as Marie
Nast.
There was a strong circumstance of
suicide in the case when Detectives
Bostick and Stark made an investiga
tion, but the condition of the man
and woman last night made it impos
sible to make a thorough inquiry into
the case.
Ilroke Door Open.
According to the story told by Hazel
Miller, the man and woman had been
quarrelling considerably of late. The
night before they were heard quar
relling again, and it is alleged the
man said he was going to kill the wom
an and then himself. When the two
failed to appear at the usual hour
yesterday morning, the Miller woman
grew suspicious and called at the room
door.
She received no response, tout a
strong small of gas greeted her. She
became alarmed at once, and the door
was broken open. Both were lying
on the bed in an unconscious condi
tion. Dr. G. M. Norton, Dr. Wal
ter Norton and Dr. Adams were has
tily called, and for several hours work
ed -hard to resuscitate the couple.
The man seemed to be the least
affected, and replied at random to
questions put to him. In answer to
a question as to whether he had turn
ed on the gas he answered yes, but
it is not believed he knew what he was
saying. The woman was unconscious
until after 7 o’clock, but began im
proving rapidly after that time.
Moved to Hospital.
At 8 o'clock the woman was carried
to the Park View Sanitarium and the
man was carried to the Savannah
Hospital. Both were improving rap
idly, and were ordered held until a
thorough investigation could be held.
The opinion of the Inmates of the
house, and those familiar with the at
tachment of the couple, is that the
man turned the gas on with suicidal
Intent. With a knowledge of the pet
ty jealousies that exist between such
people, however, the detectives believe
many of these rumors are but a part
of the animosity which the women
have exhibited in other ways towards
the man.
A friend of his who was with him
during the afternoon said he was a
member of a very prominent family in
Columbia, S. C. He is a young man of
not over 24 years of age.
Quarter Meter l.ed.
The fact that a quarter meter is
used In the house may explain how the
gas escaped Into the room. According
to a statement which Davis made just
before being carried to the hospital
the light was burning when he went
to sleep. He says that is the last he
remembers, and that this was about
4:30 o'clock in the morning.
One possibility is that after the cou
ple had gone to sleep the gas went
out. the quarter's worth burning out,
which shuts off the supply until an
other quarter is dropped into the meter.
It may have been that when another
quarter was dropped Into the meter
later in the day the gas was turned
on, and as the Jet in the room occu
pied by the couple was open the gas
soon filled the room.
One strong circumstance to support
this theory is that had the gas been
turned on by the man early in the
morning, both he and the woman
would probably have been dead several
hours before they were discovered. All
of the windows In the room were down,
and there was little outlet for the gas.
Wm Seeking Divorce.
The woman Is evidently from Char
lotte. N. C. A letter which she had
written to a lawyer there concerning a
divorce was found. It was signed
“Mnrle Long,” which Is presumed to be
her real name. The woman is appar
ently about 22 years old, and of rather
prepossessing uppearance.
Various rumors of disagreements be
tween the couple were reported to the
detectives. One was that the woman
had gone out with another man the
night before, which provoked a quar
rel which came near resulting in a
tight between the two.
At the hospital no one was allowed to
see either of the patients, but there Is
little doubt of both recovering.
LIVELY CHASEVFTER
A BICYCLE THIEF.
A 17-year-old negro boy on a bicycle,
pursued by about twauty-flv* shouting
people created something of a sensa
tion on Broughton yesterday afternoon.
The wheel which the boy was astride
had been stolen from the bicycle rack
in front of ileary's shoe store, and
was the properly of Mr. J. P. Morls
ec\ who emerged from th* store Just
In time to sea the negro riding away.
The hoy was nr rested and gave his
name as Eddie Lloyd. He said he was
not worried as his mother would pay
Min out in tint# for Christ mas.
PATROLMAN HAD NARROW
ESCAPE FROM DROWNING.
Fired at a Dark nntl Gun Kicked
Him Overboard.
Patrolman Beach had a narrow es
cape from drowning yesterday after
noon while returning from a duck
hunting trip down the river.
A telephone message was received at
police headquarters shortly after 8
o’clock from Patrolman Beach, asking
if he could be excused from going out
with the night detail until he could go
home and change his wet clothes.
On inquiring what was the matter
Desk Sergeant McCool was told just
what had happened. Beach took care
ful aim at a duck just as the party of
which he was a member was passing
Fort Jackson. He was standing in the
bow of the boat at the time. The con
cussion of the gun caused him to lose
his balance and he fell into the river.
A helping line was thrown to the offi
cer and he was towed to the shore,
where he was safely taken aboard
again. The officer was not injured,
but was wet to the skin, and shivered
considerably in consequence of his
ducking.
BRYAN ARRESTED WHILE
PREPARING TO ESCAPE.
Dennis Bryan, the negro who cut
Nick Panos, a Greek, some time ago,
and was in turn painfully shot by a
friend of Panos, was arrested by Pa
trolman Hicks yesterday and will be
held until the case is heard.
Panos was not arrested at the time,
as his condition was such the physi
cians said he was not able to be mov
ed. He was recovering rapidly, and
the police learned he was making prep
arations to depart from the city when
he was ordered arrested by the super
intendent.
