a BAD CASE ALL AROUND.
A Sample of the Cases the Recorder
Has to Deal With.

Recorder Wilson had a rather sensa-
tional case in the police court yesterday
morning. A 15-year-old girl, who had
been arrested in the house of Annice
Thompson at No. 10 South Broad street,
was before him.
The testimony showed that she was
found at the house at a. m. with Mike
Drewry, young man who has appeared
in the police court before Information
against the parties was given by j. r.
Wilson, a mOtorman on the City and
Suburban railroad, who stated that he
believed the girl was beng detained at the
house against her will.
Officers Downing and Crlmmins were
sent down to search the house, and found
the parties as stated, and they were
locked up in the barracks until morn
ing. Drewry was charged with taking
advantage Of a girl under IS years of age.
Annice Thompson, proprietress of the
house, and Claude Wright were arrested
on the charge of keeping a lewd house.
The father Of the girl appeared in court
and seemed very much distressed at the
downfall of his daughter. Some sur
prise was created when the girl went
upon the stand and testified that she
went to the house with Drewry of her
own free will and accord, according to
previous arrangement, and was not de-
tanned there by him against her will. This
knocked out the charge which had been
preferred against Drewry
The recorder was strongly inclined to
hold Drewry on another charge. but as
this could not be done without still fur
ther exposing the girl, he dismissed both
parties. Annice Thompson and Claude
Wright were turned over to the citv
court on the charge Of keeping a lewd
house.

MR.. Folks LAST INVENTION.
It Is One Of the Most Valuable He Has
Yet Brought Out.

Letters patent have been issued to Mr..
r. H. Polk of this city by the United
States patent office. covering a busy test
for multiple switch-boards," invented and
perfected by Mr.. Polk during the past
year.
In all large telephone exchanges having
over 400 subscribers, the switchboard
must be duplicated a number of times.
and as all subscribers numbers can be
reached by each operator some method
must be used to indicate 70 the operators
when numbers they have calls Tor are
busy or connected in other sections Of the
switchboard. The method Of indicating
is called the busy test"
Mr.. Folks patent covers a new and rad
ical departure in busy tests" being an
Improvement Of decided advantage and
having also in its favor a low cost of con-
struetion. He has equipped the switch
board In use in the telephone exchange OF
this city, Of which he mas been manager
Tor the past four years, with his improve
ment, and 1t has proven valuable in
Ncntion In the exchange operation.
MIR. Polk was the inventor of the COM
mon return wire in 1886 used now in al
most every telephone exchange in the
country by the use of which the induction
caused by electric trolley wires and cars
is reduced to a minimum In the same
year he invented the double motion cleo
trio fan motor. which was sold to one of
the largest motor companies in New York.
HIS more recent invention is a magazine

ably be placed on the market in year.
lie is now at work on another instru-
ment which Will be heard from later on.

TO EXAMINE THE MAINS.
No knowledge Yet Whether They Are
injured by Electricity.


Capt James Manning, superintendent of
the waterworks, said yesterday that he
expected to begin the work of investigating
the damage to water mains and pipes by
reason of electrolysis sometime next
week
The investigation was decided upon
some time ago, but on account of the
spells of wet weather was postponed from
time to time, as ii was not desired to
turn up the soil during wet wather. The
recent storms caused continued postpone
ment of the investigation.
Nothing will be done now until after
NOV. J. when the sanitary regulation
against upturning the soil will have ex-
PRED. The investigation will be con-

the telephone exchange, who has given
considerable study to these matters Cant
Manning said that he found the study of
electrolysts very interesting one While
there have been no developments as vet
to prove that any damage has resulted
from thls source in Savannah, he said he
was satisfied that the Investigation wo,lld
