After a consultation yesterday after
noon the governing committee of the
Savannah Athletic Association decided
to make no extra charge for the
Charleston game M'onday, and the
came prices which prevailed in the
Jacksonville game will be asked for
tickets.
It was announced in the morning
that the price of general admission to
the Charleston game would be in
creased to 75 cents and reserved seats
to sl. As there was no apparent ne
cessity for this advance in price, there
was a general protest, and a hasty
conference was held with the result
above stated.
Seats for the game Monday are al
ready selling rapidly, and as this is
the last game of the year, and the prin
cipal one In Savannah’s schedule, the
attendance is expected to be even
larger than on Monday, when 3,176 per
sons paid to see the two teams play.
People Are Still Guessing.
The Savannah-Charleston game is to
Southern football what the Tale-Har
vard game is to the big Eastern col
leges, and the result of the contest will
be watched all over the South.
The result of the game with Jack
sonville left those who depended on
Us result to draw conclusions as to
■who would be the victor Monday still
in doubt. Both Savannah and Char
leston advanced the ball with ease
against Jacksonville, but according to
Manager Dozier and Capt. Yancy's
statement, the Jays were 25 per cent,
stronger here than they were when
they played Charleston in Jacksonville.
DR. J. C. LeHARDY REPLIES
TO MR. J. S. COLLINS’ CARD
Bilbo Canal Covering Would Be Dangerous and
Costly Experiment, He Says.
Dr. J. C. LeHardy has some very
pertinent remarks to make about the
letter from Mr. Jacob S. Collins, pub
lished In the Morning News, In regard
to covering Bilbo canal. The question
is not anew one, Dr. LeHardy says,
and Mr. Collins had a great deal to do
with the early efforts in favor of the
covering.
"The matter has been before the
people a long time and they have
shown a great deal of sagacity in not
accomplishing such a dangerous and
coatly experiment," says Dr. De-
Hardy. "All who are Interested in
Savannah know the canal was built
for the purpose of carrying off the
storm water from the city as far as
posible and to drain the soil.
“That it has .done this work and
done it well everybody knows. Be
fore the city was properly drained,
not only deep ponds of stagnant wa
ter formed in various places, but the
cellars of houses filled with water,
causing much damage.
Danger of Combination.
“As the city became larger and the
nuisance created by the use of vaults
became more and more offensive, the
demand for the rapid removal of sew
erage increased and became more ur
gent. Dry wells being found Inade
quate and more dangerous than the
vaults, the civil authorities found it
necessary in order to check the discon
tent, and at the same time save the
city's treasures, to allow house con

But there is no disposition to belittle
the ability of the wonderful collection
of players, which Manager Coleman
will bring over for the annual con
flict.
Wonderful Ponthnll. Sa>n Butler.
Referee George Butler stated before
leaving Savannah yesterday that he
had seldom seen a game which he en
joyed so thoroughly. It was, he said,
one of the cleanest, and yet fiercest,
battles he had even seen. He spoke
highly of individuals on both teams.
He especially commented on the
playing of Rossiter. Opposed to tha
best tackle in the South. Kirby-
Smith, in the opinion of Mr. Butler.
Rossiter outshone his opponent, and
in rugged play, advancing the play
and opening the line his work was
truly wonderful. Mr. Butler also
spoke highly of Mclntire and the two
Yancys. He said it would be a pleas
ure to wltnes. as well as officiate. In
the final game of the season Monday.
Mr. Williams will again officiate as
umpire.
Sullivan Out for Good.
Berdie Sullivan, who made such a
cyclonic attack on the Jay line in the
early part of the first half Monday
is out of the game for the rest of the
season.
In addition to his badly sprained an
kle, he has a fracture of the shoulder
bone, which will require several weeks
to knit together. The Blue and White
loses a fast and courageous man in
Sullivan and the announcement that
he will not again be able to play will
be received with general regret.
Arrangements have practically been
settled for the return of Highams, the
stalwart guard who was sent to other
territory by his employers. Highams
is thoroughly familiar with the sig
nals and plays, and is one of those
athletes who is always in condition. He
will add much strength to the line.
Players All Did Well.
In mentioning especially those who
did splendid work Monday there was
no intention to belittle the work of
others. Every man on the Savannah
team performed his task well. Foot
ball fortune so presided that it fell to
the lot of those mentioned to bear the
brunt of battle, and to secure oppor
tunities for spectacular playing.
Black. Futch. Johnson, Hicks, Corn
well, Doty were Just as much enti
tled to encomiums as Harmon. Cope,
Mclntire, Rossiter, Lansberg and Cub
bedge. And it was not the fault of
those on the side line that they too
were not battered and torn in their
valorous struggle to sustain the Blue
and White.
It was a sore disappointment that
the- band was not able to master the
intricate score of "Teasing” so that
the assembled thousands could chant
the Blue and White battle hymn. Mr.
Blun is working daily in the poetry
foundry, grinding out some additional
verses for the game Monday.
neotions with the existing storm sew
ers.
"The danger of this combination was
proved during and after the dreadful
epidemic of yellow fever we suffered
here in 1876. The Bilbo canal being
an outlet for the seething sewers was
only considered a part of the sewers.
The canal bdeame a crying nuisance
because of the nauseous smell eman
ating therefrom. It was, however,
much less dangerous than the gas
emanating at the house connections.
Clllxens* Sanitary Association.
“Every effort was made by the
Citizens Sanitary Association to induce
the city authorities to abate this evil,
but they failed. When I became health
officer, I devoted my energies to giv
ing Savannah a thorough house drain
age system—to carry the sewerage so
rapidly off that it would not have
time to ferment or become ill smell
ing. This system was planned to
drain every part of the city and its
extensions, east, west and south.
“Why Mr. Collins did not take full
advantage of this system, he knows.
He was not then a president of a real
estate company, but owned a large
block of property at Collinsville. Per
haps the cost of connecting with the
new system had something to do with
the matter. At any rate, even as it
is now, a 20 or 24-Inch glazed pipe
would carry off all the sewerage of
Collinsville to the river at a cost not
to compare with that of covering the
canal. Outside of being in constant
danger on account of the water pres
sure at every rainstorm, it would be
come very costly. After each storm
the sands from the streets would nec
essarily have to be moved from it.”

ONE FARE FOR THE
T. P. A. CONVENTION
RAILROADS NAME RATES.
TICKETS CAN BE Pl'lt CHASED AT
ANY POINT IN THE l XION.
Will Not He Limited to Delegates to
tlie Convention, lint Will Be What
la Known na “Open Ticket ■“—Joint
Meeting of Con.mitteea Held—Fi
nance Committee K e jmi rt a Excel
lent Iteaulta of Their Canvaaa.
At a Joint meeting of the Executive
Committee of the local T. P. A. post
and the representatives of the four
trunk railway lines entering Savan
nah, held yesterday afternoon at the
Chamber of Commerce quarters, it was
announced that a rate of one fare
round trip open tickets, had been
agreed on by the railroads for the na
tional convention of the association to
be held here may 15-21
Those at the meeting were Messrs
B. H. Levy, George W. Williams, Hugo
Frank, A. M. Weil, Harvey Granger,
Max Kraus and Joseph Lovenstein, the
committee from the T. P. A., and Divi
sion Passenger agent, W. H. Leahy,of
the Atlantic Coast Line, Assist
ant General Passenger Agent, C. F.
Stewart, of the Seaboard Air Line,
and Assistant General Passenger Agent
F. J. Robinson, of the Central of Geor
gia, and the Southern Railway repre
sented by proxy.
The railway officials announced that
the rate of one fare round trip applied
to all points in the United States, and
tickets was not only available to del
egates to the convention, but to any
one who cared to purchase them.
Such liberal rates was a great sur
prise to the committee, and only in
dicates that the largest convention ever
held will be the one here. This rate has
never before been enjoyed by the travel
ing men, and not only will the dele
gations ibe large, but there will be
thousands of other travellers coming
to Savannah to take advantage of the
rates.
Subscription List Grows.
The committee reported last night
that the business men generally
throughout the city are responding
liberal!* to the requests for contri
butions to assist in the entertainment
of the visitors. So far the commit
tee has not met with a single refusal,
which is iittle short of remarkable.
It is estimated that it will take be
tween SB,OOO and SIO,OOO to properly
entertain the convention, and there is
little doubt that this amount will be
raised.
Recent estimates that there would
be at least 1,000 visitors in the city
spending an average of $5 per day
each, seems to be entirely too low an
estimate. “We figure,” said Mr. Max
Kraus, “that each day during that
week there will be 2,0C0 people drawn
to Savannah by the fact that the con
vention is in session here.
“Everyone who knows the peculiar
ities of the traveling man knows that
one of his greatest weaknesses is to
dispose of expense money, and all of
those who will be here will have their
expenses borne by their houses. I
believe that the majority of them will
average $lO per day. and the daily
expenditure here during the week will
be at least $7,500.”
Some of the Features.
As yet no place for the meeting of
the convention has been selected. The
theater will be used, however, on open
ing day. It is probable that the Guards
Armory will be secured for the re
mainder of the week.
During the week there will be a
Thunderbolt day, a Tybee day, and Isle
of Hope day, and a down the rtver
day, all of them social features of ifie
convention.
One of the main subjects which will
come up for the consideration of the
convention will be the increase of the
power of the Interstate Commerce
Commission and the Department of
Commerce and labor.
The T. P. A.’s were responsible for
the establishment of this last named
department, and so fruitful has it been
that they are anxious to have the scope
of the department widened.
CITY BREVITIES.
Alfred Calhoun was arrested yester
day charged with the larceny of tools
from a fellow lodger In a house in Con

SANTA CLAUS VISITED
DUFFY BAPTIST TREE
Songs ii nil Exercises Accompanied
the Giving of Gifts.
The children of the Duffy street Bab
tlst church sunday-school were treated
to a Christmas tree last night. Mr. B.
L. Bugg, superintendent, was in charge
of the exercises. An orchestra compos
ed of Mrs. Abrams, Mr. Ralph Young
and Mrs. B. L. Bugg, provided the
music.
The decorations were in green, live
oak and orange branches being lavish
ly used. After the invocation by the
pastor. Rev. Robert Van Deventer,
several songs were sung and the scrip
ture lesson read. The primary class,
lead by three flaxen haired little girls
carrying blue eyed dolls almost as
large us themselves, sang “Jesus'
Birthday” accompanying an exercise.
The intermediate girls next gave an
exercise and song "Peace on Earth”
followed by the intermediate boys in
an exercise "What Can Money Buy.”
The junior girls presented a song and
exercise "Christmas Greeting." The
concluding class, the senior depart
ment, followed with "Hail the Christ
mas King.” A recitation “The Two
Little Stockings,” was given by Miss
Annie Laird in excellent manner and
\oice. A solo “Glory to God in the
Highest" by Miss Mary Kate Dozier
which followed was greatly enjoyed.
Before the distribution of the presents
the pastor in a speech of welcome took
occasion to call Mr. Bugg to the front
and present him on behalf of the
teachers of the Sunday-school, with a
handsome set of brushes.
Santa Clause then appeared accom
panied by three Brownies and proceed
ed to give each little boy and girl a
present from the tree which stood in
the center of the alcove, lighted by
many incandescent globes and bright
with festoons and spangles. To these
presents were added candy, apples and
oranges in rich abundance. Mr. C. H.
King was Santa Clause.
CANTATA FEATURE
AT BAPTIST CHURCH.
Elaborate Programme at the South
Side Baptist Church.
The annual Christmas tree and Christ
mas celebration of the Sunday-school
of the South Side Baptist Church was
held at the church last night Besides
the members of the Sunday-school, the
parents and friends of the little ones
were in attendance and the church
was crowded.
The church had been appropriately
decorated in Christmas greenery. Lau
rel and smilax were twined about the
pillars and long festoons of greenery
draped along the gallery rails. Above
the pulpit platform were the words:
“Peace on Earth” and “Glory to God
in the Highest.” To the right of the
stage stood the Christmas tree, beau
tifully decorated with tinsels and hung
with gifts. The lights were small elec
tric bulbs, variously colored, and the
effect was very pretty. At the same
time, the use of the electric lights in
stead of the customary candles, shut
off all danger of fire.
The feature of the entertainment was
the cantata "Bethlehem Echoes,”
which was well rendered. One of the
most interesting features of the even
ing was the entrance of Santa Claus,
clad in furs, and his workers, all garb
ed in red suits and high red pointed
hats. All of the songs and recitations,
the complete programme of which was
given in the Morning News Sunday,
were well rendered and were a credit
both to those giving them and to the
drill-work of the workers who pre
pared the programme.
SANTA CLAUS MADE
CHILDREN ALL HAPPY.
At the Tree of tlie Lutheran Church
of the AMcennton.
There was a real live Santa Claus,
who distributed presents to the chil
dren of the Sunday-school of the Luth
eran Church of the Ascension at the
Christmas tree celebration last night.
Despite the bad weather there was
a large crowd to witness the exer
cises and see the gifts distributed. The
children had a delightful evening and
the grown folks had their fun also.
Following was the programme carried
out at the festival:
Processional—“ The Song of Peace.”
Song by the primary department.
Scripture lesson.
Song—“ There's a Star in the East.”
Prayer by Capt. Paul Browne.
Song—“ The First Christmas Tide.”
Address by Dr. Schaeffer.
Recitation—" The Toys’ Rebellion,”
by the primary department.
Song—“ Shining Angels Haste with
Gladness.”
Offering to Orphan Home.
Song—" Ring Out the Olden Story.”
Distribution of gifts and lighting the
tree.
The Lutheran Church was one of the
few that used candles on its trees this
year, owing to the accidents that have
happened with candles in the past.
Last night, however, the festivities
passed off without a mishap.
CHRISTIAN SUNDAY
SCHOOL CELEBRATION.
Handsome Present* Presented Pas
tor anil Officials of Sunday-School.
The Christmas celebration of the
Christian Church Sunday-school was
held last night at the church on Bol
ton street. The Inclement weather did
not prevent a large number of the
scholars of the school and members of
the congregation from attending the
exercises.
The room was decorated with smi
lax. and the platform had a red back
ground, in the center of which was a
very clever imitation of an old-fash
ioned brick chimney. Over the cen
ter of the chimney was a large silver
star, representing the "Star of Beth
lehem." On each end of the plat
form was a large mound of ferns and
the organist occupied a seat under a
bower of smilax.
The programme was entertaining

scholars was centered in the expected
arrival of Santa Claus who was to
make his appearance from the chim
ney. By means of a telephone on the
platform, he was able to inform Supt.
Artley that his train had been wreck
ed, but he would charter a freight
train to convey the present and
would arrive on time.
After his arrival each class was
called and given boxes of candy.
Handsome pictures were presented to
the organist, superintendent and his
assistant by the scholars and an elab
orately decorated dinner set was pre
sented to Rev. A. Robert Miller and
his wife by the congregation of the
church. Mr. Miller thanked the
scholars for the presents they had
brought to be given to the poor and’
told, them how noble it was to give to
such a cause.” Many otherwise good
Christians,” he said, "are starving
themselves out of happiness in the
other world on account of having a
narrow pocket.”
Mr. Harry Strobhar and Miss Grace
Miller were presented extra presents
for perfect attendance during the
last year.
