PAGE EIGHT 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.

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.

Mrs. Taylor, seeking to dodge the impact, struck open the door with her elbow and tumb led into the road.

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.

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. SH! SH! Dr. Pepper Is Coining to Town
