TO MAKE ANOTHER CUT.
The City and Suburban TO Put on a
Scent Fare 10 The Ball Park.

The Reduction to Go Into Effect Upon
the Expiration of the City and Sub
urban's Agreement With the Elec-
trio Railway, May 13-The 81 Cent
Tickets Not Doing Much.
The street railway fight appears to be
in statu quo Just now. No new moves have
been made. Both lin es claim that their
business is better than ever, and that
they are very well satisfied with the pre-
sent state of affairs.
The limit of the agreement between the
two lines as to Thunderbolt fares expires
on May l3. The City and Suburban rail
way proposes then to help the Electric
railway handle the base ball business by
extending its Scent fares to that point.
1t will also make a lower fare to Thun-
derbOlt The Electric railway was the
first to make the cut on the Thunderbolt
business when 1t first secured control of
the line to that point and as it now does
a very large business to Thunderbolt it
will doubtless meet the cut Of the opposi-
tion, and may even go it one better.
The fare to Thunderbolt for the round
trip was formerly 35 cents, including car
fare on the inside lines. The Electric
railway cut this to 10 cents, which cut
was met by the Coast Line. An agree
ment was afterwards made between the
two lines to make the fare 20 cents by
taking of the sale of tickets and charging
3 cents for each separate ride, the whole
trip including two trips on the inside
lines and two on the outside lines. 1t is
possible that tickets will again be put on
sale at Is cents for the round trip.
Director Hartman said yesterday that
the reason the fare on the BroughtOn and
Habersham street lines was raised from
3 to cents on Sunday for that day only,
was because nearly all the travel on that
line Sunday is TO Thunderbolt, to which
point the round trip fare is still 20 cents.
The fare on the inside line was raised to
8 cents for that day in order to save con-
fusion in handling two sets of passengers.
The same thing will be done next Sunday.
Thereafter the fare will remain at
cents on Sundays as well as week days,
as the thirty days notice required by the
agreement with the Electric railway
will have then expired.
The people in the southern part
of the city who thought they
had a good thing in purchasing
tickets on the City and Suburban rail
way at two for a nickel are somewhat
disappointed. They find that to take ad-
vantage of the 2I5 cent rate one of the
tickets purchased must be used lmmedi-
ately. The other can be used any time
thereafter during the day, but is good
only for the day on which purchased.
The arrangement does not allow of lay
ing in a stock Of tickets for use during
the day as some of the patrons of the
road hoped.

TO MAKE A TEST CASE.
The Superior Court to Decide on the
Slot Machine Question.


A test case will be made Of the ques-
ton as to whether there is any law in
/ Georgia which prohibits the operation of
I the nickle-in-the-slOt machines
from all accounts the case promises to
be a somewhat interesting one, as there
| seems to be two sides TO the question.
Messrs. Charles kolshorn x Bro, who
are representatives of the owners of the
machines, which are played for money;
that is, one iQ which j-cent piece IS
dropped with the chance of getting back
three. four, five or a dozen nickles,
promptly removed their machines, Of
which they had thirty-six in different
places around the city, when the solicitor
general made known his intention OF
bringing the matter before the grand
jury.
They were almost convinced that the
law could not be applied 10 slot machines,
and consulted their attorney, Mr.. w. Il.
Leaken, who was Of the same opinion.
Mr. Leaken advised, however, that,
pending a test of the matter before the
courts, all the machines except one be re-
moved, which was done.
That one machine. however, will be
kept in operation until the courts have
decided that it Is violation Of the lot
terry laws of the state. 1t viii probably

KolshOrn & Bro
In view of Mr. Fraser's opinion in the
matter which was announced through the
columns of the MORNING News, Mr.
Leaken had a consultation with him, and
stated his views. Mr.. Leaken said that
several statutes relating particularly to
slot machines had been passed in some
states of the union, but there was no such
law in Georgia, and the machines could
Of 10 fboygIT ha ovc1rtdad t1pdar tho
general law with regard to lotteries and
games of chance.
Mr. Leaken holds that the law applies
to games which are played between
persons, as with cards, dice and other
similar arrangements. The machine is
an inanimate thing seeking to enter into
a game of chance with no one, and the
action in playing it is entirely voluntary
on the part of the player.
So strict an application of the law it
might be held would do away with all
church raffes and plays of chance, pro-
gressive euchre and whist parties would
be raided and the contestants for little
silver pin fined for the violation of the
Georgia statutes. And so the law might
be carried TO its logical conclusions until
all chance is eliminated.
Mr.. Fraser is convinced, however, that
the slot machine has no constitutional or
legislative rights, and he made it plainly
understood that he would indict before
the grand jury any party who persisted
in keeping one of these machines in opera
ton.
This is the understanding then When
a case is made against Messrs. Kolshorn
& Bro. they will give bond, and the case
will be taken before the grand jury for
action at its next meeting. The indict-
ment found there will be of much interest
in the determination Of the question be-
fore the superior court. The slot machine
has become general favorite, and there
are many who were sorry to see it 90.

TROOPERS IN THE SADDLE.
The HuSSaTS Tilt For Prizes at Ten
Brock Course.

Lieut.. Minis Carries Of First Prize
and Capt. Gordon Second Prize-The
Contests Exciting All the Way
ThrouEh-Award Of tho Prizes.
The Georgia Hussars held their annual
tilt at the Ten Brock race course yes
terday afternoon. Everything considered
the results of the contest were quite sue
cessful. Quite party of the admiring
friends of the troopers were out among
them, number of ladies to witness the
exhibition of skill in the saber exercise.
The Hussars left their armory mounted
and in full uniform at $3.50 o'clock in the
afternoon. There was over twenty of
them In the party, nearly all Of whom
participated in the tournament. The
judges were Col. w. w. Gordon, Col. R. j.
Davant, Honorary Member w. B. Farr,
and Veteran Members Thomas Ballan-
tyne and John Sullivan.
Capt. Gordon was in command, and the
other officers present were, Lieuts. Minis
and McAlpin, Sergts. Postell, Cunningham
Blois, West and Harrison, and Corpls.
Constantine, Elliott and Pritchard.
The tilt, considering difficulties, was
remarkably good exhibition The men
had, most of them, little opportunity for
practice, and, as stated by the judges in
awarding the prizes, seine OF the men
who made the best records with the saber
on the heads and rings rode horses that
did not carry them fast enough to bring
up the score. Some of the best men,
they said, rode their horses just outside
the time limit.
The first prize, the company's gold
medal, which has been worn during the
last year by Corpl. Constantine, was
won by Lieut.. Abram Minis. Corpl
Constantine was present during the tilt,
but on account of a slight injury received
while practicing a day or two ago, was
unable to participate in the events. The
second prize in the first class was won by
Capt. Bierne Gordon, and the third by
Sergt. Cunningham.
The prizes in the second class, which
was made up of those contestants who
had never tilted before, were awarded,
the first to Private G. A Gibbes, the sec
ond to Sergeant Postell and the third to
Corporal Pritchard The prizes were
awarded to the successful contestants i'm
mediately after the conclusion of the tilt
and the troop returned to the armory.

A SHORTAGE IN HIS CASH.
Belknap's Postmaster to Go Before
the Grand Jury.


Postmaster John L. Southwell, of
Belknap, was before United States Com
missioner Isaac Beckett yesterday on a
charge of converting money order funds
to his own use. The evidence showed
that Mr.. Southwell had delayed remit
ting money order funds, but had subse-
quently RENTED the entire amount for
which he was due There was no evil
dence of any criminal intention on his
part
Postoffice Inspector Bulla was the chief
witness against Mr. SOuthweu When
the inspector dropped down on Mr.. South
well last Thursday and inspected his
books, he found net balance of S19l "a
due on the money order account by the
postmaster. There was only $50 in cash
in the Office, however. Mr.. Southwell
went out and returned shortly with Sl20
which he had borrowed from 4 friend.
The next morning, however, he was una
bic to remit to Savannah as he had
agreed to do. he RENTED Sll0, leaving
nearly $lC0 due.
When Inspector Blu LA found that there
was still a shortage in the postmaster's
accounts, he issued a warrant against
him and sent an officer to Belknap after
Postmaster SOuthweu. The ofticer re-
turned with his prisoner yesterday morn
ing. Mr.. Southwell had secured the
money necessary to make his accounts
balance and called at the postoflice on
his arrival in the city, and squared his
accounts with the government. He was
bound over to the United States court on
bond of 500 1t is not thought that
Postmaster Southwell will suffer any
thing further than the loss of his Office.

COURT HOUSE SALES.
Very Little Property at This Season
to Go Under the Hammer.

to Go Under the Hammer.
The court house sales for the last two
or three months have been lacking in
their usual interest, and very little prop
erty is being offered for sale under the
hammer. Now and then the sheriff sells
out little real estateto satisfy some exc,
cution for which he has levied, but the
amount received from such sales gives no
indication Of the value of the property
offered.
Messrs. J. Mclaughlin & Son sold yes
terday lot "a, Elliott ward, with improve
ments on West Broad and Bolton steeets,
for s., $50 to J. II. Hooker, j. H. Brown
and A. w. Monroe, the trustees of the
Russell Street African Baptist church. A
cOlored church will probably be erected
on the site
They also sold one tract Of land of six
teen acres on the Montgomery road in
the White Bluff district, five and one
half miles from the city, for 1925 to J. L.
Morrissey, and the property belonging to
Michael Bryan, on the Thunderbolt shell
road, opposite the Catholic cemetery, con
sisting Of about nine and three-quarter
acres, for division among the heirs, to j. j.
Gleason for 1000.
Mr.. =. II. Dorset sold tract 7515 by
los feet, on Bay street, next to the Savan-
nah Gas Light Company's works, for
81, $50.
City Marshal Wade made no sales,
though he had advertised a large amount
of property for sale. Every one of the lot
owners whose property had been levied
upon, came forward and paid up before
the hour of sale. AS a result, the city
marshal turned into the city treasury
something over So, coo yesterday.

PUT ON FIVE HOURS TIME.
Central Railroad Shop Employees Cut
Down.


Down.
The employees of the Central railroad
machine shops were put on five hours
time yesterday. and a number of men in
the paint shop were suspended.
The employees of the machine shops
have been working on three-quarters of a
days time for some time now, and the no.
tice OF another cut in the hours of work
yesterday was a painful surprise to them.
An Official of the road said Yesterday
that the Centrals business had been
unusually light for some time, and
the cut was made necessary by the fact
that there was not enough work to keep
the men employed, 1t is Just between
seasons now with the railroads, and they
have very little business to handle The
lum Der business usually furnishes the
freight at this season, but that has been
practically at a standstill for some time
and shows little prospects Of reviviug
Just now.
The men, it was said, would be put
back on full time just as soon as the bust
ness warrants it.
