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 KNIGHTS TO HOLD » OUTING SUNDAY A Savannah Council No. 631 Knights X of Columbus will enjoy an all day outing at the Vernon River Camp h next Sunday, May 24. ■ BTv plans for the picnic have been ff • completed and according to notices i sent out to the members, there will be a steak dinner, refreshments, held L day sports, a tug of war and other ■ pr t 1 * ■ * ‘ 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. LIARS COMMITTEE MAKES AMBITIOUS PLANS FOR EVENT The liars contest sponsored by the American Sportsmen's league has been postponed for a month and the dead line for submission of “tall stories” set for June 17.

MEAN ADVANTAGE STEALS HOUSEHOLD EF FECTS WHILE COUPLE WEEK-END IN JAIL 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.

Ci rr with another defendant was adret ted by Special Officer D. H. Com or of the Central of Georgia rail way ton May 12.

It seemed that Carr had played the role of Good Samari tan in | October, 1932 at Dover when Mr. Cd oners was badly hurt by a train. [ At the time the petitioner was con .ductor oi a freight train being hand le vi by a a witch engine at Dover. Carr wu\s employed in he noad department 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 * the former conductor bought the man; railway ticket so that he might re-, turn to his home in Macon.

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 officers said the prisoner ms on 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.

He pridefully des- < crlbed its appearance in detail to the court on request. Recorder H. Mer cer Jordan wanted to know from whom the negro bought it.
