TI KARST’S SUNDAY AMERICAN, VTLANTA, OA., SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1913. 5 D T v' t ALL THE LATEST, LIVELIEST NEWS OF SAVANNAH NOT ONE STALL Miss Alice Beulah Pklcock Of Whitehouse, N. J., and JI oiiltrie, Ga., who will be married to James Frank Webber, of Atlanta. Chairman of Health Committee of Savannah Council Finds All Places Insanitary. LAWS ARE OPENLY VIOLATED S-iys Conditions Are Revolting and Can Not Be Eliminated With Broom and Water. SAVANNAH, Sept. 13.—In company with a State inspector, Dr. John W. Daniel, chairman of the Health Com mittee of City Council, has made an other inspection of the city market, and, to use his own language, "found that not a single stall was sanitary or could be made so.” "It is a disgrace to Savannah, not to mention the menace it is to the public health,” declared Dr. Daniel "The dealers are openly violating the health laws. They seem not to pay the slightest attention to even the simplest rules of sanitation, or even common decency. The situation is one which should be remedied at once. "The revolting conditions I found can not be eliminated with a broom and a little water. The whole mar ket must be given a thorough clean ing. New equipment must be in stalled. The dealers must be required to disinfect their refrigerators. Not in any way are the stalls in the mar ket sanitary. Jeopardize Health. “People are jeopardizing their health when they eat meat that comes from the city market. It is better not to eat meat at all than to buy it there. That a great deal of unsound meat is sold there is a fact of which we have undisputed proof. The State inspector who w r ent with me confis cated a quantity of sausage, some veal and some beef tongues, all of which were unfit for human con sumption. "Some of the dealers admit that they were using preservatives on their meats. This is distinctly prohibited by State law. T intend to see that the City Health Department co-oper ates with the State authorities and enforces the laws. I am going to see that the market is cleaned up, if such a thing is possible. “To my mind, the most important duty before the present administra tion is to see that the city market is improved. Before we build an audi torium or do anything else we should see that conditions at the market are remedied. It will cost some money, but it will be money well spent. I think anyone who will make an in spection of the market will agree with me with what I have said about conditions there.” Dr. Daniel says that the present force of health inspectors is not suf ficient to see that the law's are prop erly' enforced. Under the present ar rangements it is impossible to in spect the meat stalls in the city mar ket and elsewhere in the city, he says. Failure on the part of the slaugh ter houses and butchers to comply with suggestions recently made to them through the sanitary board by the State Department will result in P A. Methvin, State Pure Food In- •pector, making another trip from Atlanta to Savannah next week. Inspector Methvin in Savannah. Some weeks ago Inspector Methvin visited Savannah and found the sani tary conditions of many of the mar kets and slaughter houses far from satisfactory. In a number of markets he found that tainted meats were being offered for sale. Several of the slaughter houses were practically condemned because of their filthy and Insanitary surroundings. The Department of Agriculture filed ik- report with the Savannah health officer, hoping that this organization w'ould take up the matter and see that the conditions were remedied. This has not been done, however, ac cording to a report which has been sent forward by Louis Garfunkel. the State inspector here. Inspector Meth vin will therefore make another in vestigation. It is probable that City Council will be asked for an appropriation suffi cient to remodel the city market and eliminate all of the present insani tary conditions. The chief engineer will be asked to prepare an estimate of the cost and give some Idea of the improvements that should be madw. That the market is In an unsatisfac tory condition is agreed upon by the committee. NEW HIGH PRICE PLUNGES 11D FEET, LEVEL FOR COTTON BUT WILL RECOVER Savannah Spot Market Expected to Reach 14 Cents Pound in Near Future, SAVANNAH, Sept. 13.—The local i spot cottofi market has established a i new high price level for the new sea son. There are many of the trade who firmly' believe that the quota tions will go to 14 cents at least with in the next few weeks. The farmers who are able to get their supplies to market early will probably' fare well. There is an un mistakable eagerness for supplies manifested among the rank and file of the buyers. The free on board quotation has* also moved up, and the farmer or dealer w'ho elects to sell his stands at interior points on this basis Is also securing a gilt-edge price. It will be .only a few weeks now before the wharves and docks and storage sheds will assume their wont ed activity. The charter list of ves sels at Savannah for various foreign ports is showing a steady' increase. Woman Smoker Shocks Savannah Calmly Puffed Cigarette as She Rode Down Street in Carriage.

It Is not yet known whom this Judge will be, but It Is thought that Judge Newman, of the Northern Dtstrlot of Georgia, will not be selected. Judge Newman, it is understood, would not have time to take such an appoint ment, ns there are plenty of cases on the calendar of his own court for the October term to claim his attention The authority to appoint this addi tional Judge in a case of this sort comes under a recent Federal stat ute which gives the senior Judge of the Circuit Court of Appeals this ap pointive power, to bf ; exercised at the request of the District Attorney or thi Clerk of the District Court.

If this Judge Is appointed, It will mean that Judge Speer will not come to Savannah this fall.

Thought Delirious Man Was a Ghost Fever Patient Escapes From Savan nah Hospital Dressed Only In Night Shirt. ►SAVANNAH. Sept. 13.—A ghostly presence startled the residents In the neighborhood of the Georgia Infir mary on two nights this week.

The police were sum moned. The mystery was exploded when the officer* arrived in an automobile and identified the ghost as a patient who had escaped from the infirmary. In the absence of his nurse a fever patient slipped out of a window and went hi«i way. He was clothed in his nightshirt. SAVANNAH, Sept. IS.—Even the appearance of the police was not auf- flcient to cause C. G.

S ST PAID IN FULL Election To Be Held Monday on $200,000 Issue—1,000 Votes Necessary to Carry. SAVANNAH. Sept. 13.—Savannah will vote Monday on the question of issuing $200,000 of bonds with which to finance the erection of a proposed city auditorium. The issue of bonds Is an adminis tration measure. It has the indorse ment of the Chamber of Commerce and trades bodies. Considerable in terest is being manifested in the prop osition, with very little open oppo sition. Plans havo been completed for poll ing the 1,000 votes necessary to au thorize Council to provide for the issue. Half a dozen telephones have been Installed in the Chamber of Commerce and a squad of girls em ployed for the purpoes will call every voter who has a telephone on Mon day and remind him to vote. It is necessary for two-thirds of the total number registered to vote in favor of the project before the bonds can be issued. There are 1.6S1 regis tered voters. Of these, 191 are dis qualified for failure to pay their taxes. It is estimated that there will be 1,500 registered and qualified to vote. At least 1,000, therefore, must vote in favor of the auditorium before the bonds can be issued. 8ponsors of Movement. The movement to build the audito rium is sponsored by some of the most influential persons and largest property' owners In Savannah. For years the city has been handicapped in its efforts to Induce national or ganizations to hold conventions here because of the lack of a suitable place In which large numbers of persons can assemble. It Is now practically certain that the auditorium will not be erected In connection with the armory of the Chatham Artillery, the First Regi ment, or any other organization, but that, instead of these propositions, which were considered originally, the. municipal government will purchase a suitable location, convenient and accessible to the greatest number, on which to construct the building Neither of the armories is to be erected in the heart of the business district, which is believed to be the proper place for a public building such as that under consideration. American Naval Stores Company to Pay Every Penny, Is Opti mistic View Expressed. SAVANNAH, Sept. IS.— "Belief which was always entertained by those having an intimate knowledge of affairs and conditions, that the unsecured creditors of the American Naval Stores Company would receive every penny due them in due court* of time, has crystallized Into a defi nite certainty. "The time when the final detail* of the big corporation are wound up and the enterprise dissolved depend* w'holly on the condition of the money market, the time when new capital can be secured to finance the Union Naval Stores Company in the pay ment of its notes due to the American Naval Stores Company. The final dissolution Is expected to take place shortly after the first of the year.** This Is the statement of a promi nent Savannah banker, head of on* of the institutions involved In the suspension of business on the part of the American. He was very optimis tic in his view of the situation, and expressed It as his belief that the final business of the big concern would be wound up before spring of the coming year at the very latest. Unsecured Creditors. "There is nothing new in the be lief," he continued, "on the part of the creditors of the American Naval Stores Company that the unsecured creditors will receive every penny due them. This has been the view held by them since just a few days after the suspension took place, following an investigation into the affairs or the concern. "The present situation is that the Union Naval Stores Company was the producing end of the American Naval Stores enterprise. Notes for a mil lion and a half dollars were held by the American Naval Stores Com pan w given by the Union Naval Store* Company. While the Union Naval Stores Company was a part or sub sidiary concern of the American, the Union Naval Stores Company is arid has always been absolutely solvent. “But it takes a long time for even the biggest of concerns to raise a million and a half dollars, and with the money market in its present con dition such a thing is even harder than It would be ordinarily.” S AVANNAH, Sept. 13.—A conge nial little sewing club has been formed among six of the High School alumnae, chiefly from the class of 1912, for the purpose of keeping up the old comradeship and to spend the summer days more pleasantly with dainty handwork on their Chrlst- m Mrs*’ J.'
