FAVOR THE ORDINANCE.
Many Who Would Like to See tn
Mayors Barroom Ordinance Becom
Law.

Many Who Would Like to See the
Mayors Barroom Ordinance Become
Law.
Mayor McDonough's ordinance to regu-
late the saloons will probably pass in a
modified form. The amount of license
may be put at a lower figure than $500,
though this is doubtful. The time of
closing will be changed to 10 O'Clock.
The section combining barrooms to only
one entrance, which must be from the
street, will probably be lost, as it is re-
garded by many as an oppressive meas
ure, placing to hard condition upon
those who are willing to pay the required
license,
There is a general sentiment among
those not interested in the liquor bust
ness that something on the line of the
proposed ordinance is just what is needed
undercurrent of sentiment for some
time that there were too many
saloons in Savannah for city
OF its size, There is one saloon in Savan-
nah for every Is voters. There are nearly
300 saloons, and the highest figure reached
at any registration in the city is $500 1t
Is true that there were good
many voters that were not regis
tered at the last election. 1t is
of those who were registered do not
drink. So it is fair to assume that the
average number Of patrons to each saloon
in the city is Is.
1t is hard to see how the saloons man.
age to exist on such small pat
ronage. The truth is that
great many are sbarely making ex-
penses and an increase in the license
would certainly put number out of the
business. This is not only true of the
class designated as groggeries, but of
many of the saloons north of Liberty
street. Several proprietors of saloons
right in the heart of the business section
have announced their intention of
going out of business if the license is in
creased. They say they are making
nothing now and that they could not af-
ford to pay the increased license.
A license of $500, it is said. would shut
up in the neighborhood of 100 barrooms in
the city.
Mayor McDonough and the police would
then have an easier time of it.
1t is safe to say that there would be
fewer violations of the Sunday law with
the worst class of SALOONS shut now.
The proposed ordinance gives council
the right TO pass upon the applications
for license and license would be refused
to persons of VIGOROUSLY bad character.
This is considered most important
provision of the new ordinance and should
not be overlooked. There is no doubt
that, leaving out the liquor dealers, a
large majority of the business element is
in favor of the new ordinance and would
welcome its passage.

Solicitor General Frazer Character
ICES Certain Statements as Malicious
Falsehoods.
/ Solicitor General Fraser was very much
put out yesterday by certain claims and
representations which are being made to
create a sentiment in the general assem-
bly, in favor of bill which has been in
troduced there giving the police court
Jurisdiction over misdemeanor cases, a
report of which appeared in yesterdays
telegraphic dispatches to the MORNING
News.
The report referred to is as follows:
City Attorney Adams sent up q bill to day,
which was introduce ed Ivy Mr. Doolan, giving
the police court Of Savannah jurisdiction to
try all sorts of gaming cases carrying con-
cealed weapons vagrancy and other oTenses.
This bill is also being used by the delegation
against the ''lns." It is claimed that when
parties are fined in the state court for these
OneuSes the money not only goes 10 enflch
the solicitor instead OF keeping up the city.
but that the solicitor has been In the habit Of
taking promissOry notes in settlement OF lines
imposed. and that the effect Is to practically
license gaming and the keeping Of gaming
houses, as the court does not shut up the
dives as long as its officer holds notes
against them.
Solicitor General Fraser writes as
follows in reply to the claim which seems
TO have been circulated in behalf Of the
bill
Savannah, Oct. 27.-Editor Morning News:
When the gamblers were 80 heavily fined
some time ago by Judge, Falligant
half Of the fines payable during the
term OF court, and were Endorsed by parties
who were absolutely good for the amount and
to whom l looked for payment. The notes
were promptly paid by them After
made some comment about the mat
ter and consulted some Of my friends.
among whom was the city attorney Mr..
there was nothing In the least wrong
in my having given the men fined
time within which TO pay the fines The
statement that the court does not shut up the
dives as long as the officer holds notes
against them is an unmitgated and
malicious lie, and the cOwardly slanderer who
made such a statement dare not give his
name to the public. Very respectfully,
w. W. FRASER, Solicitor General.
When seen yesterday afternoon with
regard TO the matter, Solicitor General
Fraser said further, that in accepting the
notes as above stated he had done nothing
new, but it had been usual, instead of
making a man go to Jail, to give him
short time under the conditions he had
stated.
"This," he said, ''is not done in the case
of gamblers any more than in other cases.
In regard to the distribution of the fines I
have only to say, as is well known by
every one who has any knowledge of the
work of the courts, that the fines are al
ways distributed among the different Of
fcers of the court in proportion to their
respective bills for insolvenJ costs, by the
Judge of the court in which the fine is col
lected. II is done under order of court,
and becomes matter of public record"

SOLD OUT BY THE SHERIFF.
The Stock of Clarke 81 Daniels Goes al
Public OuterY.

The Stock OF Clarke 81 Daniels Goes at
Public Cutlery.
Sheriff Roman sold yesterday the stock
of Clarke & Daniels, consisting of stoves
and hardware, at public cutlery.
The stock was sold out under distress
warrant for 1918, due for rent. Other
creditors Of the firm to the extent of
about $500 had applied for receiver, and
had secured the appointment of Mr. w.
+. Blois, sheriff of the city court, as
such But the attorneys had neglected to
en1oin Sheriff Roman, who had possession
OF the property under the warrant
and Detective Wetherhorn who had
taken possession of the keys,
and the consequence was, it was
sold, as advertised yesterday morning,
between the legal hours of sale. Sheriff
Roman waited until IL 10 q. m, ten min
utes after the time, but the injunction
which had been sent for failed to turn
up, and he proceeded with the sale.
The entire stock brought only 1910. 60,
while there were outstanding liabilities
against the firm amounting to about
s., 900. There was a mortgage for 81 900
on the stock, and this will come in for a
first share of the proceeds. Rent to the
amount of S675 was due Mr.. George w
Owens, and he will probably get the
amount due for the last month, during
which time it has been in the hands of
the sheriff The other creditors are un-
preferred, and, to all intents and pur-
poses, they will not come in at all. The
stock had been largely depleted, and
could not have been sold to much better
advantage.

A SOCIAL GATHERING.
An Interesting Session of the Mem
bers of the z. NJ. G. A. Last Night.

An Interesting Session of the Mem
bers of the z. n. G. A. Last Night.
The members social gathering at the
Young Mems Christian Association last
night was a decided success, and was
highly enjoyed by all who attended.
The committee reporting the plans for
the season showed that the management
has been at work to make the privileges
of the members more attractive than
during any previous year, and the re-
ligious work committee reported in
creased interest in the mems meeting on
Sunday afternoon and also that the plans
for special services Nov. ~ and 10 will be
made of sufficient interest to attract a
good audience each evening.
A different minister will speak at each
meeting, and the music will be special
feature of each service.
The entertainment committee reported
the arrangements made for the enter
tainment of mem bers and friends in the
star course; and especial attention was
Nov. 2.
The membership committee reported
3l6 members, and urged upon the old
members to bring in new ones.
The gymnasium committee notified
members that the first indoor contest
would be held Friday night Nov. 10.
These contests were very popular last
year, and it is proposed to make them of
sufficient interest TO attract the large au-
diences of last year. The public is in
vited to witness these contests.
Mr.. Nicolson's talk on the "World's
fair" was highly interesting, and much
enjoyed by all who had the good fortune
to hear him.
The time of meeting on Sunday afternoon
has been changed from 5:l5 to 6 o'clock.
This is done to make the hour more con-
venient for those who desire toeattend.

WITH THE U. S. SUPREME COURT.
1t win Say Whether the Central Rail
road Must Pay County Taxes.

The Intervention of the Western Union
Telegraph Company in the Central rail
road litigation which was to have been
heard yesterday before Master in Chan
Gerry Geo. w. Owens, was postponed un-
til a later date Mr.. Owens says he doesn't
mind postponing them, but when re-
assigned they must be ready for a hearing
on the new date set.
The Intervention of the Pennsylvania
Steel Company, for railroad supplies, is
assigned for hearing this morning, but
it may meet with the same fate as the
others and go over for time.
There is an interesting question to be
settled before the interventions for
county taxes against the Cen
tral railroad, the Southwestern and
the Augusta and Savannah can be passed
on and decided. 1t is as to whether the
bill recently passed requiring railroads to
pay county taxes can be made to apply to
the aforementioned roads under their
charters. The state supreme court ad-
mits that under the charter of-the South
western it can not be held liable for county
taxes and the question as to whether the
Central can be held liable for the same
under its charter is now in the Supreme
court Of the United States and will be de-
cided some time during the coming term.
There is a large number of interventions
for county taxes under this bill against
these roads, which will not be settled
until after this question has been decided
in the United States supreme court.

AMPLE PROVISION IN THE LAW.
An Opinion as to County Inspector
of Weights and Measures.

OF weights ana measures.
Some time ago the attention of the
county commissioners was called to the
fact that much trouble was being met
with from the use of false weights and
measures by some of the merchants, and
it was suggested that the commissioners
prepare bill to present to the general as
sembly, providing for the appointment of
a local inspector of weights and measures.
The commissioners turned the matter
over to the county attorney and asked
him TO look up the law on the matter and
see whether or not there was ample pro-
lection against fraud from this source.
County Attorney Saussy filed his opinion
in the matter in the commissioners Office
yesterday.
In his opinion he stated that there was
ample provision in the state code for the
protection of all who chose to take ad-
vantage of it in cases where they were
sufferers through the use of false
measures. One section of the code puts
the man using a false weight or measure
in the category Of common cheats and
swindlers and he can be prosecuted as
such. Section 15S9provides that no seller
whose weights and measures are not
stamped by the inspector can collect q
debt for goods, which they have been used
to measure, through any legal process,
and section 1890 provides that in cases
where discovery is made that false
weights or measures are being used, the
person discovering the fact can present
the Offenders name to the ordinary, and
the case will be investigated by him. If
the facts warrant it the grand jury will
then proceed to indict the person so
offending and he will be tried and
punished if guilty as a cheat and swindler.
1t would seem that any citizen has suffi-
Gent protection under the above sections
of the code if he chooses to take ad-
vantage of them.

COLD WEATHER COMING.
Two Waves Slowly Moving in on Thi
Section,

A spell of cool weather appears very
likely now. The Texas cold wave is
billed 10 arrive here this morning. This
wave is slowly moving eastward, and
caused a drop of from 100 to 49, in tenn
perature in Mississippi yesterday.
Killing frosts were reported at Abilene
and Sherman, Tex, yesterday morning.
The Texas cold wave is decreasing in in
tensity as it moves eastward, and will
not effect any considerable change here.
A cold wave of considerable intensity
is moving down from the northwest. how
ever, which will very likely be here be-
fore the Texas wave peters out.
A genuine cold wave will be very much
appreciated in this section now, as its
benefits in decreasing the yellow fever
epidemic at Brunswick and sending up
the price Of cotton would be no small
matter

BROKE OFF A SPUR DAM.
A British Steamship Did Some Dam
age to the Harbor Works.

The British steamship Edenmore,
Capt. Watson, which left for Hamburg
last Sunday, did about 81 600 worth of
damage to some of the government har-
Dor works which she may have to make
good when next she comes within Uncle
Sans domain.
The Britisher was bound from Calves
ton to Hamburg with a load of cotton,
and having picked up the American bark
Havana, in distress, brought her into
port here. The Edenmore proceeded on
her way to Hamburg last Sunday, and in
going out, on account of the crowded con-
dition of the river near that point, ran
amuck of one of the spur dams at Venus
Point, breaking off about 25 feet of it.
1t seems that the Britisher could not
leave the country without hitting Uncle
Sam a lick somewhere, and the Edenmore
win be held liable for the damage if she
can be caught here again.
