DIRECT TAX CLAIMS TO WAIT.
Nothing Can be Done Before Noven

Nothing Can be Done Before Novem-
Der Next.
A final decision has been made by the
treasury department In the direct tax
matter. and by its provisions all claimants
under the act will have to wait till the
court of claims meets next November.
Money paid as direct taxes or collected by
sales Of land In case Of non-payment will De
returned under sections /, 3 and Of the
act.
Parties whose lands have been sold and
lost are to be paid upon direct ap-
plication to the Secretary of the Treasury,
but as there are some antiquities in the
act, the secretary has referred the case OF
j. Julius Sans VS.. the United States 20 the
court of claims, and the decision of that case
will determine all. 1t was hoped that the
department would consider some of these
cases which 1t was alleged did not involve
the questions of the Sans case and not keep
these claimants waiting until the court Of
claims meets In November.
Commissioner Mason has written, the fol-
lowing letter: "The claims for compensa-
ton for lands sold under the direct tax
laws have not yet been acted upon, and
it is not likely that they will be taken up
until the Sans case has been decided in the
court of claims, unless the Secretary of
the Treasury gives other Instruction.

Elected President.
s. P. Hamilton was yesterday unani-
mously elected president of the Merchants
National Bank. to succeed the late John L.
Hammond.
Mr.. Hamilton Is one Of Savannah's most
trusted citizens, as we'll as one or its most
successful business men. He is q Virginian
by birth. He came to this city
twenty-five years age and built
up a handsome business as q jeweler,
from which he recently retired.
Mr.. Hamilton was for years member Of
the board OF aldermen, and has been many
times prominently mentioned for the may
orally. He is president Of the Brush Electric
Light and Power Company, which, under his
management, has proven one of the best
electrical organizations in the country. He
is director in a number of enterprises and
is held in high esteem for his careful at
tention to business duties and for his high
integrity.
In the midst of very busy life he has
found time to devote to other affairs. he
has been grand commander of knights
Templar in Georgia, and is at present grand
recorder.
Under Mr. Hamilton's administration the
Merchants National will, doubtless, add to
its reputation as one of the sound financial

COMMERCIAL BUILDING SOLD.
The Board Of Trade Buys lit For
Sixty Thousand Dollars.

| The Board Of Trade Buys lit For
Sixty Thousand Dollars
The board OF trade has purchased the
Commercial building at Bay and Drayton
streets. The price to be paid is 100000
cash.
The Commercial building was the prop
erty Of Mrs. Belle NAPLES. with frontage
of 100 feet on Bay street and 80 feet on
Drayton street. 10 takes in the old post
Office, Haines q Daniels offices, the Postal
Telegraph Company's office and Ybanez's
cafe.
The board of trade will remodel the build
ing aud make it one of the finest public
buildings in the city. The Drayton street
corner will be fronted with large iron
columns to make it harmonic with the
end occupied by HaiDes & Daniel. The
center Of the building will be raised two
stories, and will be surmounted by a Come.
One story will be added to the wings. The
upper floors will be divided into business
offices with all modern conveniences.
The board Of trade will probably occupy
the first floor, in the center of the building,
and the Drayton street corner viii be de-
voted to banks, two having already made
application for quarters. Steam elevators
aud electric lights will be put in.
The intention of the board is to arrange
the offices to suit the needs of the members,
who will find 1t Of great convenience to be
in the same building with the board. The
sale OF the property was negotiated by @. P.
Rossignol, and the work Of remodeling will
begin next month. Between SIS 600 and
$50, 900 will be spent in improvements. The
money both for the purchase and improve
ments will be raised on bonds bearing 6
per cent. interest. Capt. d. G. Purse, presi-
dent of the board said that $50, 600 Of these
bonds will be taken in one lump by Phila-
delphia parties.
Capt. Purse is extremely happy over
the purchase. A board of trade build
ing becoming the dignity Of the grow
ing commercial Importance of Savannah
has long been his dream. He has labored
earnestly TO bring about the result, and to
him is due the credit of securing the Com
mercial building. Capt. Purse said that
Savannah is naturally fitted to be
the great statistic distributing
center for this section of the country, and
will become such as soon as the board of
trade gets into its new quarters. Extra
clerical force will be employed and money
will be spent freely to gather up statistics.
BY this improvement the revenues of the
board will necessarily be greatly increased
and it will become the recognized exchange
for trade news, and will rank among the
commercial institutions of the country.
great many business men expressed
the opinion that the board Of trade has Sc
cured bargain in getting the property at
$50, 900. One of the best known financiers of
the city, when asked for an estimate of the
value Of the property, placed its value at
$4,000 at the lowest, estimating the lot
to be worth S45, 900 and the buildings

A LOST WILLIS SECRET.

Phtadelphia'S Free Library In Danger
Saould the Document Turn Up.
PHILADELPHIA, June 14-"Should the
last will OF the late George s. Pepper turn
up Philadelphia might lose the free library
now in sight" said J. Parker Norris yester-
day. Mr. Norris is a nephew of the de-
ceased millionaire and a director in the
company Incorporated to establish a free
library, to the trustees of which institution
Mr.. Pepper left about $780,
Continuing, Mr.. Norris said: SIT is we'll
known that the probated will Of Mr.. Pepper
was but a memorandum, written at odd
times, part in pencil and part in ink, but it
is not known to many persons that my
uncle had an elaborate and later will drawn
up by prominent attorney. This latter
WIZ was delivered to Mr.. Pepper by his
attorney, and one evening prior to his
death my uncle visited the Rittenhouse
Club, and there he signed it, in the pres
ence or three well-known gentlemen, who
affixed their signatures as witnesses From
that day to this that will has never been
seen.
But one man on earth knows its pro-
visions; that man is the attorney who
drafted it, and his lips are forever sealed.
The only will that could be found after Mr..
Peppers death was the one admitted to pro-
bate.
"The Free Library of Philadelphia will
not be started until the courts finally decide
who shall have the money left by George s.
Pepper to the trustees of such free library
which may be established in the city Of
Philadelphia, east Of the river Schuykill and
south of Market street.
"The executors of the estate have maid
Sl5O, 900 over to the Free Library of Phila-
delphia, and have taken a refunding bond
for that amount to make themselves secure
in event Of the court deciding that one of
the other three claimants is entitled to the
bequest. which will amount to about
$3.50, 900 by the time the case is decided"
