CITY’S LEGAL DEPARTMENT,
FACING SHOWDOWN, PLEADS
FOR TIME TO “LOOK UP LAW”
Connor Case Is
Test of Gamble
“Dictatorship”
RECORDER JORDAN POST
POSTPONES LIQUOR DEFI
ANCE UNTIL TOMORROW
Indications were that the city’s
.legal department is facing a tough
■battle to uphold Mayor Gamble's
supposed right to close up alcohol
ic beverage dealers at will under
the “probable cause” clause of the
municipal alcoholic beverage or
dinance when Assistant City At
torney Joseph C. Hester obtained
postponement of A. B. Connor’s
police court hearing today admit
tedly for the purpose of “looking
up the law.”
Connor yesterday opened his
beverage store at 114 East State
street In defiance of Mayor Gam
ble’s revocation of his license. De
tectives descended upon him with
in a few hours, seized his stock in
trade, and booked him for viola
tion of the state prohibition law
and for “doing business without a
license.”
When Recorder H. Mercer Jor
dan called the case this morning,
Assistant City Attorney Hester
rose and asked for postponement.
“Do you require more time to
look up the law?” Recorder Jor
dan asked.
“Yes," admitted the assistant
city attorney.
Connor’s attorneys. Edward J.
Goodwin and Marvin O’Neal, Jr.,
have assailed the right of Mayor
Gamble to “arbitrarily” regulate
the commerce in alcoholic bever
ages under the municipal alcoholic
beverage ordinance.
Connor brought his fight with
the Mayor over the question of
alcohol beverage regulation to a
head yesterday by dispatching a
letter to the Mayor through his
attorneys, telling the city execu
tive he intended to re-open and
defying that official to close his
business.
Connor opened for business a
few minutes after dispatching the
letter to Mayor Gamble. Detective
Sergeant Ellis and Detective
Hendry were among his early ev
ening callers. They said they seiz
ed four pints and three half-pints
of whisky, together with three
quarts of wine.
Connor declares he is being
singled out for persecution. His
attorneys are challenging the May
or's right to close up any bever-*
age dealer he sees fit and in his
own discretion. Connor declares
the Mayor is using the “arbitrary”
power which the ordinance pur
ports to give him to “pick on" any
body the city executive chooses
to make feel the weight of his dis
pleasure.

NEW SUSPECTS IN
MURDER OF MILES
CLAIM AN ALIBE
BOYD AND KICKLIGHTER
TAKEN INTO CUSTODY
BY COUNTY POLICE
Addison D. Boyd, 22. and Taft
Kicklighter, 25, were being held in
the city police staticn house this aft
ernoon for investigation in connec
tion with the murder Wednesday
-morning of D. D. Miles, night watch
man of the International Vegetable
Oil Company.
The pair were taken in custody at
their homes in Glennville last night
and were brought to Savannah by
County Police Officer Claude Hender
son this morning. Jim G. Boyd, a
brother of the Boyd youth in the
station house, Mrs. Jim G. Boyd, and
Floyd Smith, a negro, were arrest
ed Saturday and are now’ being held
cn alleged murder charge-. They
were booked first for investigation.
Later they were transferred to the
county pail from the city police jail
after a warrant had been sworn out
before Judge Emanual Lewis, charg
ing the trio with murder.
Kicklighter and Addison Boyd are
friends and neighbors. They two
said they came to Savannah last
Tuesday morning, the day before the
murder—and left the city that after
noon to return to their homes in
Glennville. Kicklighter and Addison
Boyd said they left home with the
intention of going to Virginia to hunt
for jobs. Reaching Savannah, they
said they were tired out, dispirited
and decided to go back home. They
said they left Savannah about 5
o’clock Tuesday afternoon to hitch
hike back to Glennville and arrived
home about 10 o’clock Wednesday
morning.
Addison Boyd said he had never
sen Mr. Miles. He said he did not
believe his brother had had anything
to do with the Miles killing. “Jim has
been drunk and things like that
around Glennville but he has never
mixed up in anytng like this before,”
Addison said.
Neither Kicklighter or Addison
Boyd seemed to be greatly concern
ed over their being taken into cus
tody.

In the truck with Mrs. Ellis was
Thomas Ellis, age three months,
and Mrs. Eugene Hendricks, driv
er of the vehicle. They were also

ment but went home Friday.
HOPES FOR RECOVERY
OF WILLIAM BEEBE DIM

recovery of Wiliam Beebe, brother of
City Detective H. F. Beebe, who is
ill in an Avgusta ospital. Mr*Becbe

whic his the outgrowth of hurts re

DANISH SHIPS
ARRIVAL IN PQRT
HERE DELAYED
“NORA MAERSK” IS LAID
UP IN PHILADELPHIA
FOR REPAIRS
The “Nora Maersk”, Danish mot
orship which was due to reach Sa
vannah tomorrow with 500 tons of
cottonseed oil from China, is in
definitely laid up at Philadelphia
for repairs. A wire to this effect
reached the Atlantic and Gulf Ship
ping Company, agents of the
Maersk lino here, at a late hour
last night.
The vessel will come to this port
during the last part of May to un
load its cargo and load new cargo
for the Far East.
Cottonseed oil is by no means
the only product brought here by
ships from China, officials of the
company said this morning. Cotton
itself is being continuously unload
ed from China at local concerns.
Another exchange, they pointed
out, is the shipping of canned
grape fruit from Florida to Califor
nia, and still another is the con
stant exchange of eastern lumber
for western lumber.
Probably the most curious cargo
he has ever seen, said R. T. Sub
lette. traffic manager of the At
lantic and Gulf Shipping Company,
was a recent one from Augusta—
several hundred pounds of Chinese
human bones bound for the shores
of China.
“They were the bones of Chin
ese who had died in this country
and been buried for a number of
years,” Mr. Sublette explained.
“An agent in Augusta gathers
them up every few years and as
sembles the remains of each
corpse in a small tin box for ship
ment; This cargo costs at the rate
of $3.00 a hundred pounds.”
The reason for the strange pro
cedure, the manager claimed, is
that the families in China wish to
bury the bones on ancestral
ground.
WOMAN INJURED IN
FALL FROM TRUCK
Mrs Zelda Taylor, wife of H. R.
Taylor of Savannah ,was slightly
injured when she fell out of a
truck driven by her husband at
the thirteen mile post of the Louis
ville Road this morning.
The Taylor truck was headed
out of Savannah at 35 miles an
hour when a lumber truck driven
by G. H. Plumber met it on the
uoad. One of the standards of the
Plumber truck was jarred out of
place, flew up in the air and came
down at full speed towards the
Taylor car. Mrs. Taylor, seeking
to dodge the impact, struck open
the door with her elbow and tumb
led into the road.

PLANS DISCUSSED
BY CITY BOARD
PRESENT BUILDING IS
INADEQUATE; OTHER
WORK WEIGHED
A new school building for Pooler
to take the place of the antiquated
school now in use was one of the
principal discussions at the meeting
of the Board of Education yesterday
afternoon.
W. G. Sutlive, after the announce
ment of the superintendent, Ormond
B. Strong, that he had asked Miss
Gay WPA adminlstra
ter, to furnish labcr and half the
material on new schools for Wood
ville snd West Savannah and a new
room for Pooler, spoke in behalf of a
new building for ‘is community.
“Pooler needs the new school more
than any other place in the country,”
Mr. Sutlive said. "The building it
has is not only inadequate; it is far
behind the modern trend.”
Dr. Walter S. Wilson declared that
he very heartily shared Mr. Sutlive’s
comments. “Pooler,’’ he said, “cer
tainly deserves a better school than
the one they now have.”
It was pointed out that the build
ing was erected in 1890 and that be
tween 215 and 225 children attend
school theer. The matter was re
ferred to the properties committee,
whch wil confer with architects and
obtain an estimated cost. If the
school is built, it will be under the
WPA. Mr. Strong said that confer
ences with Miss Shepperson revealed
that the WPA will not discontinue
but only curtail its activities in July,
until such tme as additional funds
are appropriated. The approximate
cost cf the Woodville school was esti
mated at $12,000, of which the board
would have to pay $3,000. Os the
approximate cost of the West Savan
nah scholo, $16,000 the board would
have to pay $4,000. The one room
addition to Pooler would cost $1,600,
of which the board’s share would be
S4OO.
Mr-. Strong announced that bids for
the final equipment of the new Sa
vannah high school would be adver
tised teday and be opened May 6. J.
Houston Johnston, state PWA engi-'
neer, will come to Savannah to at
tend the opening.

WPA REDUCTIONS
REACHBED ROCK
Bed rock seems to have been
reached in the employment reduction
of the Works Progress Administra
tion, said Donald Nichols, WPA ad
ministrator of this district today.
Approximately 200 are scheduled
to be let out gradually between now
and June 31, Mr. Nichols announc
ed, but there will be no further gi
gantic cuts.
“We are now awaiting word from
Atlanta,” the administrator said,
“and I know that Atlanta is await
ing word from Washington, as to the
extent of the new program and the
type of project that it wil carry."
Mr. Nichols said that he cannot
say whether the WPA will be able to
take on additional workers after the
close of tbp.fscal year, July 1. No
body knows the answer to that ques
tion, he stated, and the entire ad
ministration can do nothing but wait.
