CIIY’S POLICE
FORCE MAY BE
IMPROVED SOON
♦—
Fill is of Chief of Police
a.d Marshal May be
Seperated
“SLACK MARIA” LOR 1 011
Understood That a Number of
Changes Will Likely be Made
in the Department Probably
in May.
Brunswick's police department
may be entirely reorganized in
dune; the new office of marshal
treated last y.ar by the legislature,
may be niled, a desk sargeaut elect
ed, and a patrol wagon put on.
While no doliutie atmouaicemont
to tuat effect has been made, it is
known that members of the police
committee have discussed the plan
and the change has been proposed
for June.
As is well known a 'till was pass
ed by the legislature last year sep
arating the offices of chief of po
lice and marshal, now held b> ouo
II it was generally expect
o men would be elected
tees at the regular elect
offi.es in January, but
ided not to separate the
hat time, aud chief Bur-
I serving as chief of po
ity marshal, but .it has
nstrated during the past
few months that he badly needs an
other Husiutnnt and the change will
likely be made In June. The mar
shal will be entirely independent of
the police force, that department to
be in charge of the chief and assists
am thief of police.
There has been some discussions
among the police officers and others
it. regard to a "black Maria” for the
city. Brunswick is now large enough
for such an Improvement and
it would be one of the best things
that the city could do. It is not
proposed to put in a call alarm at
present, but Instead telephones
tould be established at almost every
corner in the city locked in small
b 'xes, each officer carrying a key
then when an arrest was made the
officer could phone to the barracks
tor the patrol wagon. It would then
only be necessary to have an ad
ditional horse, the wagon and driver,
, as an officer is now always in th*
hole, as they call it, and Cilia man
could go out on the wagon.
Often these days ladies are com
pelled to witness the disgraceful
Bc-ene of seeing drunken men drag
ged to Jail, often with his clothing
half torn off and using profane lan
guage as he passes through the
streets. Invariably the officers are
compelled to cross Newcastle street
almost in the center of the city in
order to ireach the barracks with
these drunken men. With but little
additional expense the city could
establish the “bla k Marla” and all
ot this would be avoided.
It is understood that a majority of
the members of the police commute
of council are in favor of electing
the new officer for the department
and also a desk sargeant and putting
•on the patrol wagon, and it is likely
that the matter will come upjn coun
cil before long.
A VERY PLEASANT AFFAIR.
Quite a Large Crowd Went Down to
the Terminals Last Night.
The “Trip to Japan,” given last
night under the auspices of the la
' dies of the Episcopal church, was a
V( ry pleasant affair and was muca
enojved by all those present.
Quite a large number of people
tbcarded the train at Gloucester
street at 8-o’clo k and another good
sized crowd got on at George street
where a stop was also made.
At the terminals the ladies had
the large office beautifully decorated
for the occasion. Delightful refresh
ments were served, there was good
music for dancing and altogether the
affair was very much enjoyed. Quite
6 neat sum was realized by tU*
ladtw.

STILL ENGAGED IN POLITICAI
BATTLE—BOTH SIDES NOW
HAVE NEWSPAPER.
Marietta, April 4.—There Is evi
dently going to be some more lively
political skirmishing in Cobb county.
Cobb has been known for years as
hotbed of politics of the warm sort
and the present indications ate that
there la no likllhood of harmony, at
least not In the immediate present.
The latest indication is the report
ed purchase of Judge George P. Go
ber, or his friends and supporters of
the Marietta Journal, which it is
stated, will become a Gober organ.
This gives both sides a newspaper,
the Cobb County Courier owned
by Hon. Newt. A. Morris and man
aged by Fred Morris, his brother.
Thus harmony seems farther off
tnan ever. It is to be the same old
battle, it seems, between the Gober
aud the Morris factions. It was re
ported also that the Gober people
were on the lookout for a redhot
editorial writer, one of the sizzling
sort, to run that end of the game.
Of course all of this means some
thing, and it has Ibeen pretty well
understood that Mr. Morris would
make another race for the judgeship
of the Blue Kidge circuit for which
hd was defeated by Judge ftotier
three years ago. Mr. Morris, H is
stated, means this time to make the
tight of his life, fits opponents
know it aud it would appear they
are getting ready for him.
It was reported that Judge Gober
would not be in the ra.e, buj later
reports throw some doubt on that
matter. The purchase of the news
paper is in Itself significant.
On the Other hand it has been the
belief that things WCr© *• H tx\j in ft wti
for the present solicitor general <f
tne circuit, Hon. 15. P. Simpson, to
make the race for juidge, who, if
he runs, will undoubtedly have the
support of the Gober element.
In any event the situation is al
ready becoming interesting and the
two rival weeklies will ibe closely
watched for developments.

Rider With the Parker Carnival
Company Now in Distress Over
a Broken Wheel.

u-v-notional Smithson leap the
gap on his Ibicycle at the u 1TO „,„ 0
of the carnival Monday night? This
is the question that is worrying the
management of the Parker .Carni
val Company a great deal for the
last day or two. The cause of the
trouble Is a broken wheel which it
h. necessary to replace by a spec
ially constructed one before Smith
sou can do his act. As the matter
now stands it is a race between the
railroads : and /time.
A few days aog Smithson broke
the front wheel of the bicycle ho
Uses in his act and after trying to
mend the break he found it would
he necessary to have another wheel
shipped |iim. The wheel he ,usas
is made in San Francisco especi
ally for him and the factory making
them is the only one in the country
that has the measurements. It
would therefore he necessary to haye
them make up a wheel and get it
here in time for the opening Mon
day night. Teelgrams began to fly
fast and furolusly to the factory in
San Francisco and the last one red:
“Make wheel and and ship Immediate
ly. Imperative/' The answer was:
“Wheel will reach you in time for
opening." Then began the race
against time. The foundry wired
yesterday that the wheel had been
made and placed in tho express of
fice with instructions to rush through
to Brunswick. It is impossible to
trace the wheel from Brunswick but
the factory has the orders of mana
ger Kennedy, of the Great Parker
Amusement Company to follow the,
shipment up closely with tracers
sparing neither expense nor trouble
to get the wheel here on time. In
th e< meantime- Smithson is
on the edge for fear the wheel will
rot reach here. Asa matter of prof
essional pride he feels that it is upj
to him to open the show with his,
great act Monday night anil as ho,
stated yesterday he broke, his own
wheel and he would cheerfully part
with half his own salary if it

The Parker Amusement Company
slarted moving their big wagons yes
terday to the grounds at the coin r
of Gloucester and Oglethorpe
-dreets, where the shows were
given last year. At 7,30 promptly
next-Monday night, if his wheel
reaches Brunswick in time, Sensa
tional Smithson will open the week’s
carnival with his wonderful ride of
death—leaping the gap on a bicy
