BIG STRIKE THREATENED.
nA,ton Clothing Makers Arc to Take Action
 Today.

BOsToN, Sept l7-Thcrc Is every indi. cation that within few days there will be inaugurated hcrc one of tho biggest strikes in the history of the clothing trade of New England. Tke various branches of the trade held meetings and indorsed the rcCommcT dations of tho clothing trade council that the Jumping system bc abol- ishcd and that the weekly wage system be established; also that n uniform number of working hours be established
 The matter will be brought before a mass meeting of the united craft today. and if the recommendations arc adopted by n two-thirds majority then a series of conferences with the manufacturers and contractors will bc held as soon as pos siblc. If the employers agree to tho de mands. then tho threatened strike will be avertcd but if they refuse n strike will be ordered at oncc, The operatives claim they arc in n better position for a struggle than their employers, as the latter have been waiting the result of the tariff bill and arc consequently behind with their work. They also assert that they have everything to gain and nothing to lose. as they aro ground down at the present bcyo endurance.
 X feature the men are expecting to aid them is that owing to the present strike in New York tho manufacturers there have been sending their work to be made up here. The entire trade appears enthu- siastic over the prospect, and at the meet Ing Sunday a strike would have been or dered if 1t had been possible.
 NEW BEDFORD, Mass. Sept l7.-For the first time since the inauguration of the strike hero the funds of the spinners' union arc to be oncroached upon. At a meeting of tho union 1t was voted to givo all members who nre on strike S4 n week and to those having families 25 cents ex- tra for each child. It was the hopo of tho union officials that the strike could be settled without drawing from the funds and now that this Is done 1t Is taken as an Indication that the spinners havo con- cluded that all possibility of an immediate settlement of tho strike Is out of tho qucs-

a RUSH OF TAXES.
Voters Qualifying at Rapid Rate for
Registration.

There was another rush TO pay taxes
yesterday. Tax Collector MCGOWAN and
his force are hard worked, and do not get
away from the office now until the small
hours of the morning. On account OF the
hard times the payment of taxes was very
light up to the time of registration, and
now there is a rush of everybody who
wishes to qualify to register.
The payment of the poll tax simply does
not qualify a citizen to register, where
there are other taxes due, as many appli-
cants have already found to their sorrow.
Considerable work was done by workers
on both sides in paying taxes for voters
yesterday. The Duncan men claim to
have gotten largely the best of 1t.
A number Of new citizens will be made
this week by the courts, judging by the in
quiries that are being made at the court
house on this line. The superior court
will consider applications for citizenship
Saturday.
Mr. Thomas Cooley, the Duncan regis
trar in the First precinct, requested the
Morning News last night to deny the re-
port that he had refused to register appli-
cants who were armed with their tax re-
ceipts, and who were also willing to make
affidavit of the payment of all taxes
THE charge is ridiculous as well as
false, said Mr. Cooley. IF the appli-
cants had been armed with their receipts
there would have been nothing to do but
register them.
The facts are that a number of persons
applied TO register who had their tax re-
ceipts for 1894, but whose names were not
on the county registration lists, and there
was nothing to show that they had paid
their taxes for previous years. There was
no need 10 swear them. L knew them all
too well. Frank McDermott was there,
prompting them what to do, and when
we refused to register them they simply
went around the corner to the Pulaski
house and made their afiidavits there be-
fore McDermott. Less than half those
turned away returned armed with affida-
Wits, however. They were unwilling to risk
a prosecution. Mr. Mcclure, the Myers
registrar agreed with me in refusing to
allow these applicants to register under
the conditions stated.
I know the Myers people would like to
get me off the registration. 1 know these
old Yamacraw faces too well, and who
has been paying taxes and voting for the
last several years and who has not. That S
where the shoe pinches."
The Morning News publishes this morn
ing the official registry list of Tuesday s
registration. The list will be studied
with interest by both sides. The Duncan
men claimed yesterday that they obtained
a majority of the voters registered in
every district Tuesday, except the First.
They allow Mr.. Myers large majority in
this district but claim equally as large a
majority for DR.. Duncan in the Second
district. They also claim large major
tiles in the Eighth and Tenth districts,
and smaller majorities in the other dis
tricts.

l newly acquired district. and the scav-
I enger service there IS inadequate. And
I yet, since the FIRST Of the current year.
I the territory we represent has had levied
| upon 30 municipal taxation at precisely
I the same rate as attaches 10 the most inn
proved parts of Savannah We are con-
I ndent that you viii agree with US that
I this is not just
Our purpose in coming before you now is
10 ask that in the preparation OF the bud
get for next year. suitable provision shall
be made or extending 10 the territory
within the city limits south OF Anderson
street the benefits and advantages
which. equitably. should follow taxa
ton, and that, too. as speedily as possi-
bic. Among those benefits and advant-
ages we specifically enumerate the follow
ing:
First-Open and graded streets: free
from toll
Second-The extension OF water mains
for protection from fire and for domestic
purposes.
Third-sewers for house and surface
drainage.
Fourth-An adequate number Of electric
lights in the streets.
Fifth-A police sta ton or a detail OF DO
lice sufficient to patrol an area which is
about one-half the size Of the rest Of sa-
vannah.
sixth-Adequate fire extinguishing APP
paratus, so located as to be able to reach
a fire within a reasonable time.
Seventh-One or more school houses near
the center Of population.
Eighth-The extension Of the scavenger
service so as 10 include the whole Of the
new territory.
Not only would the speedy introduction
OF the water mains now sought return
the city handsome interest on its in
vestment, but the development Of the
new district would be substantially en-
couraged, and many improvements fol-
lowing IL would increase the municipal
tax revenues. This is too manifest to need
extended argument to sustain it.
The memorial asked that the council
afford the board Of managers of the
league an opportunity TO appear before il
in advocacy Of the measures outlined. 1t
was signed by Mr.. Charles f. Prendergast.

ter 10 the council.

The Last Rites Performed by the
knights Templar.

The funeral of Hon. ]. L. Warren, which
took place from his late residence, No.
1853 New Houston street. yesterday after
noon, was largely attended. Many prom
inent citizens with whom the deceased had

there was large attendance of the mem
bers. The officers and directors of the

$4,000 BALES AHEAD.
Savannah's Cotton Receipts This Year
show a Gratifying Increase.

Some prominence has been given 10 the
claim that Savannah's cotton receipts are
falling OF because the cotton that ought
10 come here is going 10 Charleston. Pres
ident Gordon Of the cotton exchange was
asked yesterday if it is a fact that sa-
vannah is losing ground.
1t is not" he replied ION the con-
trary Savannah's receipts this year up 10
date, are over 3l.900 bales greater than
the receipts up 10 the same time last
year"
How is it then that the figures show an
apparent falling one
President Gordon referred TO the stalls
tics Of the cotton exchange which show
that this year up TO to-day, Savannah's
net receipts are 572. ass bales. Up to the
same time last year they were 5S4,52S bales.
FOR the same time the year before, they
were 52S. 464 bales
But" said President Gordon. 1T must
be remembered that last years receipts up
to this date, included over 5000 bales, or
10 be exact 1888 bales which went TO
Charleston, but which was counted at this
port having passed through here, and dur
ing the same time in the season Of 1928,
the receipts included 1923 bales which
also went to Charleston through
Savannah. This year none of the
cotton which passes through Savan-
nah for Charleston is counted here. So
FAR 1888 bales have passed through
here to Charleston and 1921 bales to
Port Royal. All of this cotton would have
been counted in Savannah's receipts up to
this year, and should therefore, in any
comparison with last years, OF in fact any
previous years receipts, be added to the
receipts reported TO the exchange. This
would give Savannah 614,769 bales so far
this year, an increase Of 30,246 bales over
last years receipts for the correspond
ing time and 81. SO5 bales increase over the
receipts for the same time the year be-
fore.
This" said President Gordon. mot only
shows that Savannah is not losing ground
in receipts, but that we are considerably
ahead of last year"
How about the differentials?'
"Of course, the effect is disastrous to
Savannah, but the same rates were in
force last year and the effect then was the
same as it is now"

SENTENCED 10 DEATH.

for the Murder of willis Brown.

for the Murder of Willis Brown.
The death sentence was passed yester-
day in the superior court at ten minutes
before u o'clock on Eddie Davis, the muir
derer of Willis Brown. There was no jury
business before the court during the day
and in consequence there were very few
curious spectators in the court room.
Davis took his sentence calmly and ex-
hibited little or no appearance of uneasi-
ness. In fact, he heard the sentence read
comment upon it one way or another as
he was taken back to Jail.
Judge Falligant made no extended re-
marks in passing the sentence. He said
there was no use in repeating what he had
said when sentence was passed before,
as the matter had been taken to the SUI
preme court and that tribunal had re-
fused to grant a new trial. He then read
the sentence, ordering the execution of
Davis on Friday, Jan. IS, between the
hours of 10 O'Clock a. m. and O'Clock D. m.
