AFTER THE ARBITRARIEs.
The work of Securing Full Winter
Tourist Rates In Progress.

Assistant General Passenger Agent
H. c. McFadden of the Plant
system has taken up the mat
ter of tourist rates for Savannah.
with the Trunk Line Association, which
comprises all the railroads north OF Wash
ington and east of Pittsburg, and has also
had some correspondence with the Of
fcials Of the Pennsylvania railroad with
regard to the matter. He has asked them
to grant the same arbitraries from points
north of Washington as are granted on
winter tourist tickets to Florida points.
He thinks the indications are very IA
vorable for these arbitraries being Sc
cured. If the Pennsylvania railroad is
disposed to grant the arbitrary on its line
between New York and Washington, IL is
probable that it's representative will intro
duce the resolution authorizing II at the
next meeting of the Trunk Line Associa-
ton. which win probably take place next
month. There is every reason to believe
that the rates will be secured and that
by Nov /, when the tourist tickets go on
sale, Savannah will have full winter tour
list rates from northern and eastern
points.
Mr.. McFadden says it is a mistake to
say that Passenger Traffic Manager b.
w. Wrenn has not worked for winter
tourist rates for Savannah, simply be-
cause there was no attempt on the part of
the Plant system to secure them prior to
his administration. Col. Wrenn has been
actively a work on the matter ever since
he received his appointment and there is
still more work to be done. Col Wrenn
will actively interest himself in the work
Of securing the arbitrary rates from
points north of Washington, so that Sa-
vannah can be given the benefit Of full
winter tourist rates.
Mr.. McFadden will leave tonight for
Cincinnati, where he goes to attend a
mass meeting of all the railroads inter-
ested, to be held for the purpose Of dis
cussing the matter of winter tourist rates
from the west. These rates usually go
into effect on Nov. /, and they will prob
ably be made on the same basis this year
as they were last

MUST WATCH THE SALOONS.
MAYOR MYERS LETTER TO THE
CHIEF OF POLICE.


The Police to BE Held Accountable
for Any violations of the sunday
Law-The Mayor Calls Their At
tentIOn TO the Keeping Open OF
SaIOons-The Letter to BE Read TO
the Force To-day.
Mayor Myers has decided to take steps
TO put a stop TO the violation Of the sun
DAY laws. Complaint has been made TO
the mayor by citizens that the laws were
being openly violated. He decided to re-
iterate his instructions TO the chief Of 20
lice. given shortly after he assumed
charge Of the city government.
He, accordingly, addressed a letter 10
Chief McDermott yesterday instructing
him 10 notify the members Of the force
that they would be held strictly account
. able for the violation Of the law in their
respective precincts.
Morning News reporter saw a copy OF
the mayors letter TO the chief. in al
dressing him Mayor Myers says:
My attention has recently been called
by citizens to alleged violations of the
Sunday law throughout the city. I de-
sire again TO have you issue orders TO the
police department acquainting the mem
bers thereof as to these alleged violations,
and to caution them that they Will be
held strictly accountable for any viola
ton of this law in their respective pre-
cincts. You are instructed to take prompt
steps in the premises and I sincerely trust
that the import Of this communication. as
applied to these complaints, will be sin
eerely appreciated by you"
If Mayor Myers instructions are put into
effect and the police held accountable for
the violations of the law occurring in
the precincts in which they are assigned
to duty 1t will Enthusiastically have good
effect
Similar Instructions to the police were
Issued by order of the mayor at the begin
ming of his term. The police may have
either forgotten them or did not think
that the mayor was in earnest. The vio-
lation OF the Sunday law Is so open and
so general that the police cannot possibly
help knowing IL, even If they keep their
eyes shut while passing the saloons 1t is
true the saloons do not keep their front
edoors open, but on Sunday nights many
Of them are brightly lighted up with the
can be seen passing in and out both day
and night.
The violation of this law is made easy
BY the failure TO enforce the ordinance re-
curing saloons to remove all curtains and
shades preventing a clear view Of the in
terror from the street after midnight and
on sundays. The saloons which now OBJ
serve this ordinance are conspicuous ex-
ceptions to the rule.
Nobody expects the sale of intoxicants
on Sunday will be entirely prevented, but
II the mayors Instructions are carried out
TO the letter il will have a great effect
IN putting stop to the promiscuous vio-
lation of the law.

The prospects are bright for a pretty
good season for the railroads in spite or
the fact that there will be a smaller yield
of cotton this year by about 100000 bales.
There are larger quantities of other pro-
ducts to be transported, and the better
conditions prevailing in the country gem
orally win call forth larger quantities or
manufactured products.
The opening of the busy season has been
a good thing for the railroad laboring
classes, as in most instances they are
now working on fun time and are receiv-
ing full pay The Plant system lines are
pretty well equipped for the busy sea-
son. They have had their hands in all
the shops, except Savannah, working on
full time for the last month or six weeks
Their rolling stock has been put in first
class condition. The hands in the Sa-
Vannah shops are now working nine hours
this being one hour short of full time.
The hands In the Central railroad shops
have been working on full time for the
last three weeks and they will continue
to work ten hours a day during the busy
season, which generally lasts until late
in the spring. The Central is turning
out a large number of new cars, and this
work, together with the repairs inci-
dental to the cotton season, and a heavy
freight business, are keeping the men
pretty well employed
