They have estranged neigh bors, caused residents to hurl the charge of “commercialism," store keepers to shout “discrimination” and lawyers to tear their hair in per plexity over involved legal technicali ties. In the case of Abercorn street, the city fathers hope to mark out that thoroughfare as a residential district unmarred by commercial activity, when the car tracks are removed and the street is repaved. But there are several questions, ac cording to lawyers, which may event ually find their way into the courts. For one thing, there are already some small businesses on south Abercorn street. There is the question of whether these businesses can be zon ed off the street. And there is al ways the question of whether a busi ness establishment can get in despite the ordinance. Some of Savannah’s zoning ordinances have held before the appellate courts. Others have not. In some cases, Commercial estab lishments have gone ahead quietly and set themselves up in a locality zoned for the benefit of residents. When the residents awoke to find a store or filling station in their midst, it was too late. The business peo ple could not be ousted, because the residents failed to protest before they had actually set themselves up and began to do business. According to one lawyer, those sort of cases come under the head of “he who fails to speak while others oth ers listen, will not be heard when he does speak.” ZIONIST GROUP TO HEAR LAWYER JAVETZ Emanuel Javctz, Savannah attor ney, will be the principal speaker at the April meeting of the Zionist Or ganization tomorrow night at 8:15 at the Jewish Alliance.

NEGRO’S FATE IN HANDS OF A JURY A Chatham county jury this after noon had the fate of Otis Johnson, negro, charged with the mysterious killing of Rebecca Stubbs, in its hands. The testimony of D. J. Carson. De partment of Justice ballistics expert, laid the killing at Johnson’s door, because it traced the bullet to his gun. But whether or not the bullet in evidence came from the body of Rebecca Stubbs was a question which the jury must ponder. Police did not>*ake the bullet from the Stubbs woman’s body, according to testimony, but obtained it from a negro, who in turn obtained it from another who claimed to have taken it from the body. SCHWARTZ DISMISSED ON SEVERAL CHARGES; IS FINED ON OTHERS Louis Schwartz, old gold buyer, whose place of business is located at 119 East Broughton street, was dis missed in Police court this morning by Recorder Mercer H. Jordan on five charges of buying and receiving stolen goods but was convicted and sentenced to a S3OO fine or 90 days on the Brown Farm on five charges of failing to make reports to police headquarters of his purchases. The case was made after the ar rest of Louis Broughton, 17-year-old negro, who confessed to burglarizing eleven homes in the southern section of town. Broughton told the court he had been habitually selling va rious articles to Mr. Schwartz. Police impounded a quantity of the stuff in the Schwartz place of busi ness. They likewise requested the United States mint at New Orleans to return to Savannah the last ship ment made there by the Savannah merchant. This shipment, it later de veloped, had already been melted down. Mr. Schwartz excused his failure to make the police reports required by law with the statement through his attorney, Aaron Kravitch, that he had been ill for the past two months and his mind had been distracted from his business affairs. Tall, very black and gangling the Broughton negro naively admitted again today—this time in court— to burglarizing the homes. The youth occassioned a laugh from the entire court room when he answered a query of Sergt. Ellis as to from what par ticular residence he had stolen a bit of jewelry in question. “There wuz so many houses I wuz in, I don’ re membah,” replied Broughton. “ARNO,” SAVANNAH’S FAMED VIOLINIST, WINS NEW HONORS “Amo,” Savannah’s famous violin ist, today achieved new distinction with the announcement that he is to be the guest conductor of the well known Buffalo Orchestra Ensemble in the Irving Berlin Review, which opens in Buffalo, New York, Friday evening.
