MUST NOT VIOLATE TIE Law.
Solicitor General Fraser Draws the
Line for the Boxers.

Solicitor General Fraser Draws the
Line for the Boxers.
Solicitor General Fraser was asked
yesterday by a representative of the
MORNING NEWS, if he intends to take any
action with regard to the proposed Sill
verthorn-Duffy boxing contest at Thun-
derbolt, March 3.
Il cannot anticipate any violation Of
the law" Mr.. Fraser said. "ThOse in
terested have informed me that they in
tended to have only boxing contest or
sp2rring match. as some call it, of eight
or ten rounds. If the matter goes no
no further than that there will be no
violation OF law.
Il cannot anticipate that they intend to
have prize fight. A prize FIGHT or a
fight to the finish would certainly be a
violation of the law There is plenty of
law against such a fight, and if these
parties engage in a fight they will GER
tainly be prosecuted This exhibition is
to be, as / understand il, nothing like the
affair in Florida, but merely a sparring
contest, in which no purse has been
offered. If it goes any further, prosecu-
lions will certainly follow.
Il have instructed my officer, Mr.. Nor
gan, to be present at the ontest, and if
there is the least violation of the law ar
rests will be made. 1t is claimed that
there will be no violation of the law, in
other words, that there will not be q fight
Mr.. Morgan can easily tell whether the
law is violated in this respect, and
whether it is necessary for him to act
Under the circums tances / cannot pre-
sumo beforehand that there is going to be
violation of the law, and take action
which might not be warranted according
to facts"
Mr.. Fraser said this is the first author
lied interview he has given upon this
subject for publication This satisfac-
torily defines the position he will take in
the matter.

TO REBUILD AT ONCE.
Handsome Buildings to GO Up on the

Between fifty and sixty men are now at
work removing the debris of the burned
grocery buildings on Bay street and clear

road, while the good bricks are being
placed in neat piles by the workmen.
The adjustment OF the insurance upon
the burned buildings has not vet been
finished but it is expected that the
matter will be finally arranged in
few days. BY the time the ruins are all
cleared up the owners, the Wilcox &

WHY REPORTS DIFFERED.
Apparent Contradictions in Tempera
ture Reports Explained.

apparent contradictions in Tempera-
ture Reports Explained.
Just after the recent cold wave tele-
graphic reports were received from diff
erent parts of the country showing that
at certain stations where observa tions
were taken the mercury fell as low as
25' below zero, Reports of temperature
as low as this were received from several
points in New York state, and in New
England, while the lowest temperature
recorded at the United States observa-
tories In those sections as reported Mon
day morning was lSo above zero.
This apparent great difference between
the reports was readily explained by
Observer Smyth, of the weather bureau.
The Geographic reports giving an account
of the extreme ccid weather were based
on morning observations, which were
taken during the passage of the high
barometric wave over that section. The
reports published in the official record
from the weather bureau, which showed
a lower temperature, were taken Sunday
night. During the afternoon the storm,
which was moving northeast along the
Atlantic seaboard, passed over that sec
ton. That section, therefore, at the time
the night observations were taken, was
in an area of low barometric pressure,
which is always attended by a great rise
in temperature.
The same thing has occurred time and
again in Savannah when high pressure
during the day has been followed by a
low pressure or storm center during the
afternoon and night. In this way the
temperature here has been known to be
as much as 25o higher in the night than it
was during the day.

GREEN HELD FOR TRIAL.
Believed to Be the Thief Who Robbed
Uncle Sans Oil House.

Believed to Be the Thief Who Robbed
Uncle Sans Oil House.
The examination Of Henry Green,
charged with robbing the oil house at the
Fort jackson range lights, was continued
before United States Commissioner Isaac
Beckett yesterday.
Quash Williams. the negro whom Green
said he had received the stuff from. was
on the stand and convinced the court that
he knew nothing about the robbery The
evidence all seemed to point to the fact
that Green was the only man known to
have been connected with the ROBBERY
Williams was discharged and Green was
bound over TO the United States court in
default of bail to the amount of $500
There was no evidence against Barn
we'll, and he was acquitted Monday. The
$500 reward will probably be divided be-
tween Capt. Thomas II. Laird, Jr. who
got the trace of the robber. and De
tective Bossell, who made the arrest.

TO SAVE THE TREES.
AS Few az Possible 20 be Cut Down
on Jefferson Street.

The work Of repaving Jefferson street
will begin this week. Some of the trees
Gu the street will be cut away, but not as
many as was first intended Owing to
the objections OF the property owners to
the reno al of the trees only those which
intrudc upon the roadway will be re-
moved
The condition of Jefferson street during
the recent spell of bad weather, has
proven a strong argument for the granite
block pavement, ana IL is not likely that
any further OBJ ections will be made BY
the property owners.
II is not yet certain that West Broad
street viii be paved this fall. MAYOR
McDonough estimates that to pave West
Broad street with granite blocks would
cost the city $4,000, and the property
owners and the street railroads S5O. 100.
ana ne does not think that either the city
or Tue property owners are able TO stand
the expense.

Green ABOUT 1t.
Chief Green hiss received a letter from
J. w. Tyler at Pensacola, who thinks he
has dis overed Abe Smalls, the murderer
of Policeman Neve, in that city. Mr..
Tyler gives thorough description of a
negro at Pensacola who goes by the name
of a. b. Smalls, and whom he supposos TO
be the murderer. The description does
not lit Abe Smalls who is so badly
wanted al Savannah, however.
Mr. Tyler is not the chief of police of
Pensacola, as sta 5ei in the Atlanta dis
