a HOTEL Law CONSTRUED.
The Innkeeper Has no Lien on Goods
Belonging to Outside Parties.

Justice Elsinger has just decided a suit
which came before him in which he con-
strues a section of the code of direct in
terest to hotel and innkeepers.
The case in question was brought by NJ
l.. Harnett proprietor of the Harnett
house, against W. 7. Carhart, who was
agent for the National Cash Register
Company. The amount owed by Car
hart was so, and the hotelkeeper had
one of the cash registers which Carhart
used as a sample in his possession, claim
ing a lien on 1t for the amount of the
agents board bill. The register be-
longed to the company, and they sued
for 1t in Justice Elsinger's court, claim
ing the hotel proprietor could have no
lien on 1t, as it did not belong to the agent
and the company was not responsible for
it's agents board bills.
The section of the code on this subject
reads: ''The innkeeper has a lien on the
goods of all his guests for all his reasona-
BILE charges, and may retain possession
until they are paid; his lien attaches,
though the guest has no title or even stole
the property and the true owner must
pay the charges upon that specific article
before receiving the same" Section 2122
of the code of 1888
Mr.. Jacob Gazan appeared for the
company which sued for the register, and
ne cited two or three supreme court de-
cisions bearing on the point in question.
1t would seem from the code that the
innkeeper has a lien on such property,
whether it belongs to his guest or not, but
according to supreme court decisions in
several cases the matter is construed
somewhat differently. Judge Elsinger
decided that the article was subject to
no other expenses than those of storage
for its own keeping by the proprietor,
and that it could not be taken to pay
the Indebtedness of Carhart, as 1t was not
his property. The supreme court came
to the same conclusion with regard to
case where a stolen horse had been held
by an innkeeper for his guests board and
for the horses board as wen. The de-
cision was to the effect that the owner
was liable for the board of the animal,
but not for that of the man who claimed
to own him, but had in reality stolen him.
The same Yves decided in the case of
sewing machine, from which it would
seem that the innkeeper can hold no ar
ticle for a security for the board of one
Of his guests that does not belong to the
guest himself.

GEORGE RUNaE BOUND OVER.
His Friends Will Endeavor to Arrang,
for Him to Give Bond.

George Runge, who was charged with
the larceny of a lot of tools from Fort
Pulaski, where he had been at work. was
given a preliminary examination before
United States Commissioner Connolly in
the grand jury room at the United States
court house yesterday, and after hearing
all the evidence the commissioner bound
him over to the district court under bond
in the sum of $500. Runge went to Jail,
but his friends are making an attempt to
raise the amount of the bond and pro-
cure his release.
The evidence in the case was strongly
against Runge, as four or five hammers
taken from the fort were found in his
trunk, which was at the north wharf at
the fort, where it had been taken the day
he was discharged to be brought up to
the city. Runge stated that he had taken
these hammers, but he had picked them
up at various places where they had been
thrown, and that he himself had worked
them over at the blacksmith shop, think
ing they had been thrown aside as worth
less.
Runge's counsel, Mr.. A. L. Alexander,
stated that his client was not at all we'll,
and made a strong plea for him before the
commissioners. The commissioner, how
ever stated that under the circumstances
he could no do otherwise than bind him
over, which he did under a small bond
1t was thought that there was a POSSIBLE
ity of the evidence duplicating others, as
a good many tools are said to have been
missed, but such was not the case.

TIE SCHOOLS FILLING Up.
An Enrolment Of 1870 Pupils at The
End Of the First Week.

An Increase of 347 over Last Years
Enrolln ert-The Girls Largely in the
Majority-The High School shows an
Increased Attendance of 6s, Nearly
All Girls-The Henry Street School
Has the Largest Attendance and st.
Patrick's the Next Largest.
The reports received by Supt. Baker
Of the enrolment of scholars in the
public schools at the close of the first
week of the new school year show total
enrolment of 1870, an increase over the
enrolment OF the first week of last year of
347. OF this enrolment the white schools
have 3,O7O, including the high school and
the night school, and the colored schools
have 800.
The increase for the white schools is ISL,
and for the colored schools 1866. The great
est increase among the white schools is
shown by the high school, which reports
an increased attendance Of sixty-eight.
This is due almost entirely to the fact that
there is no charge for tuition at the high
school this year. The increase is nearly all
female, there being an increase of only
three boys as against sixty-fve girls.
The only school showing decrease in
attendance is the Henry street school,
which has eleven pupils less in attendance
than at the same time last year This is
due to the fact that the northern boundary
of the Henry street school has been
changed one street further to the south, the
boundary this year being Duffy street,
when last year it was New Houston street.
This change also accounts in part for the
large increase, ffty-four, in the attendance
upon the Barnard street school.
THE FIRST WEEKS RECORD.
Supt. Baker furnished the following
compilation of the reports last night:

CAPT. EVAN HOWELL TALKS.
BE Regrets the POpulist Gains in Geor

BE Regrets the Populist Gains in Geor-
gia, but Says He Is Not Surprised.
Capt Evan p Howell Of Atlanta, who
has Just been elected member Of the
legislature from Fulton county, returned
from New York yesterday morning on the
City of Birmingham, and left at once for
Atlanta.
He was seen at the Central railroad de-
pot by a representative Of the Morning
News, just few minutes before the train
left the city. Capt Howell IS one Of the
directors OF the Central railroad, and in re
ply TO a question, said little had been done
OF late with the reorganization plan of that
road upon which the fnanciGrs and others
interested are now working. He said that
many OF those interested had been away
from New York recently in attendance on
a meeting of the stockholders of the South
ern railway company. He is confident,
however that they intend to go ahead on
the lines already mapped out, and SAID
that there would be no material change in
the plan as already stated.
Capt. Howell says there was no truth in
any of the reports that there had been
material changes in the plan, and that the
one first contemplated would not go
through. He attributed the delay only To
the fact that the summer months carried
away from the city many of the tinanciers
and lawyers engaged in the work. He
said that no changes in the proposed plan
of operating the road Independent of the
Southern railway had been made.
Capt. Howell sailed from New York last
Tuesday, and received his first reports
from the state election on his arrival here.
He regretted very much to see the large
populist gains, but said he was not sur
prised and had predicted before leaving
Atlanta about a month ago, that the popu-
lists would elect at least fifty members of
the legislature, though he could find few
democrats in Atlanta who were of his
opinion. He attributed the result 10 dis
satisfaction with some of the work of con-
gress, and the low price of cotton, which
the public generally believe has had much
TO do with the making of populists in Geor-
gia within the last few months

Remarkable Talent of Little Sadie
Jaooby, to Appear in Savannah Soon.
Little Miss Sadie Jacoby, about whose
extraordinary talent in recitation much
has been said, has come down from Guy
ton with her mother where they have
been spending the summer months, and
they are now visiting Judge Elsinger at
Habersham and President streets.
Arrangements have been made by the
Young Mems Hebrew Association to give
an entertainment at their rooms in Ma
sonic hall Oct. H. at which she will appear
and render several of her recitations and
remarkable limitations. Sadie is not yet
quite years old, and has been reciting
not longer than year, yet she exhibits a
talent which is rarely developed by one
of twice her years
She is member of the society in New
York called the Little Children OF the
Stage, and her appearance in public there
has more than once elected praise and
comment from the leading New York
journals. She has a remarkable memory,
and has over forty neutrality-suspicious.
and humorous--in her repertoire. She is
a Savannahian by birth, but of recent
years her parents have lived in New York

CIRCUS RATES EXTENDED.
The Railroads Grant the Request of the
Merchants.

The cheap rates extended by the rail-
roads from interior points to Savannah
on account of Barnum e. Bailey's cir
Gus, which will be here next Wednesday,
Oct. 10, have by request of the merchants
been extended as to time. The rates were
originally made only for one day, Oct. 10.
AS now extended tickets will be sold
Oct. and 10 good to return until Oct.
II. This will be a great convenience to
people from the interior who wish to do
some trading while in the city as well
as attend the circus. They can now
spend one whole day and a part of two
days If they wish in Savannah.
The request of the merchants was read
lily granted by the railroad officials. The
merchants argued that If the visitors
form the country We're compelled to
come in in the morning and go out again
at night in order to take advantage of
the reduced rates they would have little
time for anything else besides the circus,
which would be to the disadvantage both
of the visitors and the merchants. The
fact that Wednesday is the Day of Atone
ment on which all the Jewish business
houses will be closed, was an additional
argument why rates should be extended.

He is a CITIZEN NOW.
Maj. Harrow Takes the Oath Of AL
legianee to Uncle Sam.

Maj. Edward Karow has taken the oath
of allegiance to the United States of
America and foreswcrn that of the EN-
peror OF Austria.
1t will occasion some surprise to Mai.
Karow's many friends to learn that he
has not been a naturalized citizen for
many years The fact is he filed notice
of his intention of applying for uaturaliz-
alton papers several years ago, but had
neglected to follow this up with the nee
essary legal steps for becoming a citizen
of the greatest country on earth. When
he was recently elected major of the First
battalion of the First Georgia regiment
Maj. karow was not a citizen of this
country, and the strange combination of
circumstances was presented of the COM
mander Of regiment which was likely
to be called into service at any moment
not being a legalized citizen of the coun-
try under which he held his commission.
Maj. Karows attention was called to
the fact that as an officer in the service
of the state it was proper that he should
complete his naturalization. He readily
consented to do SO, and the necessary
formula being complied with he took the
oath before Judge MacDonell in the city
court last Saturday.

The following table shows the number of
boys and girls in attendance upon each
MoRE a1RLs THAN poYs.

The Cathedral and st. Patrick's schools
are the only two schools which report more
boys than girls in attendance. The in
creased attendance upon the high school
will require another lady teacher, and the
superintendent win make recommends
ton to this effect at the next meeting of
the board of education.
All the schools are well filled now. Ac-
commodations will probably be found for
the 300 or 400 more children who will prob
ably come in between now and january,
but as it stands now the schools are lust
comfortably filled, and some of them can
not well accommodate any moro pupils
without overcrowding. St. Patrick's and
the Henry street school have Just about as
many as they can well accommodate now.
The first week appears to have passed OF
very smoothly with the schools Both
teachers and pupils are hard at work now.

Ar THE THEATER.
"The County Fair" Well Received-To
Be Repeated To-day.


The County Fair is not a new play to
Savannah theater goers. 1t was received
with as much enthusiasm last night, how
ever, as if it had been its initial presenta-
ton here. The audience was an excellent
one. There is no denying the popularity
of the play, nor its quaintness, nor its
realism. 1t jumped into favor at once,
and it has maintained its popularity. Its
scene of action is in New England, and
the characters are described as true to
the life. Its heroine is a kindly old maid,
and the tribulations she goes through
make the comedy. Incidentally intro
duced is an old fashioned husking bee,
where the rustic beau and lass seek for
the red ear of corn, and where is danced
the homely but exhilarating reel. OF the
mechanical and dramatic climax-the
horse raCe-it is enough to say that it
is an exceedingly clever piece of realism.
The play will be repeated at a matinee
this afternoon and again tonight.

FOR SEVENTY-FIVE YEARS.
SaValnah'S Play House a Landmark in
the History Of the American Stage.

Dec. a the Ssventy-sixth Anniversary
of Its Opening First Play Pre-
scented Before Its Footlights-Famous
Artists Who Have Trod Its Stage
Some Of Its Managers.
The sale Of the Savannah theater and the
probability Of its being rebuilt will remove
the oldest theater in this country. Up to
few years ago the Walnut street theater
in Philadelphia, was the Oldest in America,
and when that was burned it left Savannah
the veteran of them all. Built in 1918, it
has been a landmark in the city fer
more than three-quarters of a century, and
it is the only play house Savannah has
ever had.
The first efforts to build theater in
Savannah, were in 1910. A meeting of
citizens was held and organized The
Friends of the Drama. A committee was
appointed to raise subscriptions.
The plan was to issue stock at 500 per
share, one-fourth to be paid at the time of
subscribing. The next move was to obtain
a site. The city council was petitioned. but
the move fell through-only 50, 200 or "a, 600
being raised for the building, which was
inadequate even as nucleus TO start
work on, and the money subscribed was
returned.
THE BUILDING OF THE THEATER.
In spite of this failure, a few years later
another, and this time successful, effort
was made 10 organize stock company. A
sufficient amount was subscribed, and
in 1916 the council was asked
for two lots as site for the proposed the
ater The council was liberal, and the two
lots, 20 and 30 Brown ward, on which the
theater now stands, were given. In Feb
1918 a deed was signed by James Nj
/ Wayne, mayor, and John Tanner Hazen
Kimball, Joseph Habersham, Frederick
Densler, HWm. Davis, Paul Thomassou
and q. w Owens, majority of the alder
men, conveying to Jonas Bilbo, James Nor
rison, Alexander Telfair, Jonathan Bat
telle and VIM. Castor, Esqs., trustees of
the Savannah theater, and their success
ors. the two lots of land.
The construction of the theater was at
once commenced. The building was opened
