was dismissed by Recorder H. Mercer
Jordan when she was arraigned in
police court this morning on the
” charge of assault with intent to mur
der by shooting her husband, Joe
Floyd with a pistol on May 2.
County Officer Dennis Downing ar
rested the woman after the row be
tween the pair in their home at the
six-mile post on the White Bluff
road. The man told officers then his
wife had sht him. This morning the
husband told the Recorder he and
his wife had settled their differences
and he did not want to prosecute.
There was no witnesses to the fray
but Joe Floyd.
The pistol which was supposed to
have figured in the fracas was pro
duced at the outset of the hearing
as evidence. The court informed Joe
Floyd he could not have his pistol
back until he had gcTten a license to
have such a weapon Judge Jordan
remarked that he was going to break
up the indiscriminate use of fire
arms in the city and county.
UNITED CIGAR CO.
IN BLUN BUILDING
The United Cigar Company for
many years operators of a store and
soda fount at Whitaker and Brough
ton have leased space on the ground
floor of the Blun building, corner of
Congress and Bull , streets, it was
learned unofficially today. This is
one of the most desirable locations
in downtown Savanah and its acqui
sition by the United Cigar Company
will be of wide in business
circles
The site is at present occupied,
having been vacant since the Union
Bus Company moved into more spa
cious quarters some time ago. No
announcement of plans for furnish
ing the new store were forthcoming
from officials of the tobacco com
pany here but it probably will be
larger than the present quarters of
the company and be equipped to take
care of the increase in business that
should naturally result from the
change in location

JAKE ON RAMPAGE
NEGRd GETS FARM TERM
AFTER RIOT’ IN LO CAL
RESTAURANT
Jake Grant, negro, sauntered im
portantly into the colored Silver Mbon
restaurant on West Broad street Past
night, plumped down in a chair ar.wi
loudly demanded a glass of water-
The service wag a bit slow so Jake
created a miniture riot. Such was the
picture presented in police court this
morning where Grant was arraigned
on several charges.
Idella Tolbert, the tardy negro
waitress, said first Jake poured vine
gar from a bottle in her hair as she
passed. She protested whereupon she
said he fired the bottle at her. The
girl ducked. So did a number of pa
trons of the eating house routine.
The bottle brought up against a large
mirror—which the proprietor said
cost $25.'
Jake, tried- again, it was testified,
and this time did score. He “conked”
the dodging waitress with a coffee
cup. About this time the irate proprie
tor had made his way to the cause
of all the trouble. He collared Jake
and held him while someone tele
phoned for police. Officer T. L.
Thornton took the negro man in cus
tody and this morning Recorder H.
Mercer Jordan sent Allen to the
Brown farm for 90 days with no op
tion of a fine.
‘CALL’FROM[ABOVE
FREES PRISONER
DEFENDANT IN POLICE
COURT STRIKES TRADE
WITH RECORDER
Azel Manning, who testified this
morning from somewhere in the rear
of what was probably the most lux
uriant beard seen in police court in
many months, successfully talked
Recorder H. Mercer Jordan out of
sentencing him on a charge of loi
tering.
Police Officer M. F. McCarthy ar
rested she middle-aged man after
complaints that he was creating a
disturbance while preaching im
promptu sermons near the City Mar
ket. As far as appearances went th-i
defendant seemed likely prey for a
House of David baseball team scout
Manning told the Recorder he had
“a call from the Lord” to go to Nor
folk immediately to preach. It seem
ed the call was received just about
the time Officer McCarthy gingerly
escorted the prisoner to the police
station. The officer isn't superstlti
uts but Manning’s remarks were un
usual to say the least. The prisoner
said he had been arrested recently in
Norfolk, first by the chief of police
and then by the chief of detectives.
Strange enough. Manning continued
blandly, just after the arrests the
police chief and then the detective
chief dropped dead.
“You said you have a call to Nor
folk at once?” inquired the Recorder.
The bearded man nodded in assent.
"Go!” said Recorder Jordan, gravely.

Joe Grant, 32-year-old negro, was
handed a straight 60-day Brown
Farm sentence when he was arraigned
before Recorder H. Mercer Jordan
in police court this morning on the
charge of larceny from the house.
Detective A. Wiman made the arrest.
Carrie Doster, negro, 733 East Hull
street, was the complainant. She told
the court Grant had ransacked her
home while she and her husband
were spending the week end in jail
after difficutlies with the police.
The woman said when she return
ed home Grant had removed the
kitchen stove, chairs and bed cloth
ing—and even some of her lace
dresses. With the court's permission
the defendant questioned the negro
woman. His repeated ejaculations of
"Why don’t you tell the truch?” fail
ed to shake Carrie’s story. Grant said
the articles in dispute were given
him to buy whiskey for Carrie and
himself.

Thii morning John J. Conners, a
formei Central of Georgia railway

At the time the petitioner was con
.ductor oi a freight train being hand
le vi by a a witch engine at Dover. Carr

of the railroad there. Conductor Con
ners was hixnging onto the side of the
string of cars. One of the cars jump
ed the trade and the conductor was
thrown under the wheels. Both of
his legs were* cut off. Carr was the
first man to rush to tfhe aid of the
injured trainman. He aarried him on
his back, a short distance out of
.harm’s way and then summoned first
•aid.
Conductor Conners “won his fight
,tfor life in the hospital .and later was
able to waNc again weth the aid of
a cane and tlficial lirhbs. The other
day be received a letter from his.
benefactor of several years ago, tell
ing of the latter’s plight and asking
intercession. At the earnest request
of Mr. Conners his morning Judge
Jordan released Mr. Carr, whereupon t

railway ticket so that he might re-,
turn to his home in Macon.

W. I Roberson, age (31, brought be
fore Judge H. Mercer Jordan in po
lice court this morning on a dry law
charge, denied ownership of ten gal
lons of whisky, protecting to the
court tht “I’ve been out of ijhe liquor
business for two or three mionths.”
Sergeant of Detectives; T. H. Ellis
and Detective W. H. Sapp arrested
the defendant yesterday 1 afternoon.
Sergeant Ellis said he fojurd the
liquor in a garage at a McDon
ough street address ’which the detec
tive said was rented to Roberson.
Testimony of police also recounted
the finding in the garage of a hose,
funel and a number of bottles. The

verge of putting his car in thfe build
ing when the arrest was mdde.
Sergt. Ellis testified Roberson de
clared the booze was not his but
“belongs to a felow named Hodges”
They said later a man who gave his
name as “Cohen” reported to police
headquarters to claim the liquor.
Lieut of Police James Rogers doubt
ed the veracity of this claimant and
ordered Roberson held for 'hearing
today
Judge Jordan bound over the de
fendant to the city court on the dry
charge. He counseled Sergt ,Ellis to
remember the statement of Roberson
as to being in the whisky business re
cently, pointing out that admission
of ilegal sale of liquor within the
past two years would secure a con
viction in the higher court.

crlbed its appearance in detail to the
court on request. Recorder H. Mer

PORT ON ADVENTISTS’
SQUABBLE TO ROURKE
Hopes that the congregation of
the Savannah branch, Free Seventh
Day Adventists’ church, would wor
ship in peace and unison soon ap
peared likely today.
Some weeks ago the ranks of tho
worshippers were split wide open.
The dissension followed the preach
ing of the ‘ Shepherd’s Rod” doctrine
with which teaching many of the
church-goers were not in accord.
The rival groups took their trou
bles to court. Superior Court Judge
John J. Rourke appointed Rev. John
S. Wilder, pastor of the Calvary Bap
tist Temple, special master to un
ravel the dispute After long and con
scientious examination of the dogma
of the religious sect and the claims
of the contesting sides, Rev. Wilder
submitted his report to Judge Rourke
yesterday
This afternoon the judge had not
issued a decree in the case but it was
expected a decision would be forth
coming shrtly which would bring
peace to the embattled church-goers.

[profanity, and H. A. Bedgood, of 409

isaw the man strike the woman. Kraft
isaid he was a newcomer to Savan- j

house Kraft had in mind was known !
as "The Bucket of Blood” locally and

$lO fine or 30 days on the Brown
Farm while the woman was assessed
