REFEREE's DECISION REVERSED.
Whistler Had the Better of the
Fight With Gallagher.


After twenty-one rounds Of exceedingly
clever sparring. in which Whistler had de-
cidedly the better OF IL, Referee Jack
Wyness declared the Observation-Disclosures
contest al the Pastime Athletic Club last
night a draw.
The decision was greeted by Kisses, and
the crowd yelled Tor Whistler. That the
decision was anything but popular and
that Whistler had the better Of the go,
fully g per cent Of the specta-
tors agreed upon and they were anything
but backward IN expressing their opinion
After the noise had subsidized, Joe Ullman
stepped into the ring and announced that
the articles OF REORGANIZATION he read
between Whistler and Gallagher. called
for decision. and one should have been
given, especially as It was so apparent
that Whistler had the better Of the argu-
ment.
Ullman warmed up TO his subject. and
stated while ne did not doubt the honesty
Of the referee, he thought the decision I'M
just, and announced that the club reversed
II and gave the fight TO Whistler. This was
received enthusiastically by the specta-
tors.
There was the largest crowd the club
mas ever seen present, and the rooms
were crowded almost TO suffOCatiOn. II
was so warm that coats were removed and
straw hats were used as fans. Walters
OF nearly all Of the refreshment houses
did rushing business. dispensing soft
uqulds among the spectators while the
sweet strains Of a banjo and guitar &C
compartment coursed through the heated
air and served to partly allay the heat.
Big "ScOtty" and one Wilson from Ken
lucky, the latest addition to Savannah 3
ana gave very good exhibition. scot
ty was too heavy for the Colonel" how
ever, and the bout was stopped after the
third round.
Everything was put in readiness for the
Dig go, and as the principals entered the
ring the stringed orchestra played THE
Conquering Hero Comes In Gallagher
corner were Joe COunihan and Wilson.
'Scotty" and Charlie O'Den seconded
Whistler. Louis Smith kept time and
Jack Wyness essayed TO referee.
From the beginning of the fight until
the last round Whistler did all the lead
ing and ran Denny around pretty freely.
Gallagher accepted every opportunity Of
fered by the rules OF the ring, and fell
more than once TO avoid a stiR punch.
There was really not much heavy fight
ing on either side, with the exception OF
several terrific PUSHES by Whistler. Gal
lagher put up a good, game hight and
was strong at the finish, but Whistler
clearly outsparred him.
Even taking that the sparring was
even, the decision should have been given
to Whistler, from the very fact that he
was the aggressor.
The position of referee is a hard one,
and mistakes are sometimes made, as in
other things. No one doubted the sin
cerity or honesty of Mr. Wyness' decision.
1t was simply an unfortunate mistake.
The programme was closed with five
corking good rounds between Joe Ullman
and Kid Norton.
Wilson who spared Scotty. will meet
kid" Norton next Tuesday night. 1t is
said that Wilson is n ringer.

GEIGER TO BE HEARD FROM.
His Position on the Liquor Question
Unknown.

The inquiry has been made as to where
Judge w. W. Geiger, the democratic nom
inee for senator from the First senator
ial district stands ON the liquor ques-
ton.
This is of interest, it appears, on ac-
count Of the strong lines on which the
fight in Georgia has been drawn as be-
tween the prohibitionists and the other
faction. whether called high license, To-
cal option, or by any other name
A number of gentlemen. who are ac-
Quainted with Judge Geiger, We're asked
the question yesterday, but, strange to
say none of them seemed TO know any
thing positive on the subject The ma
Jority of them, however, were of the opin-
ion that Judge Geiger is a prohibitionist
Some of them thought they had heard
that, and others believed it because he
belongs to such a strong prohibition com
munity. One of the delegates who rep-
resented Chatham at the sena torfal con
Ventlon was asked the question His re-
ply was that Judge Geiger couldn't be a
prohibitionist and n democrat too, because
no democrat could stand on the populist
platform. He said 1t would be inconsist-
ent for any democrat to advocate the
states going into the liquor business In
the meantime, as Judge Geiger has had
nothing to say on the subject, he remains
to be heard from.

COMING IN LARGE NUMBERS.
Naval stores Operators to BE Here
Week After Next.

Week After Next.
It is expected that there will be between
400 and 500 turpentine operators at the
meeting here August %.
The object, as previously stated in the
Morning News, is to devise some plan
whereby prices for the product OF the pine
may be made renumerative.
The very low prices during the past year
has stirred up the operators, and as they
are interested in any scheme that will
benefit their business, they will attend i'm
large numbers.
Several plans win be suggested by diff
ferent operators. Some want to discon-
tinue the cutting Of boxes" atogether
while others calculate that the cutting Of
one-tourth the number cut last year would
be advisable. There are some who want
to cut one-third the number, and not a
few who think 40 per cent. would be the
correct thing.
Commissioner Richardson. of the South
ern Passenger Association. has notified the
turpentine operators that those who de-
sire to attend the convention, will be AL
lowed a special rate OF fare to Savannah
between Aug. p and Aug. Is. The
fare named is one full fare to Savanna h.
ana one-third regular fare to return. Ger
tihcates win be given at the purchasine-
point, which will entitle them to blIy n
one-third rate fare at Savannah. AS there
are many operators in Georgia, Florida.
South Carolina and Alabama, who are
desirous of attending the convention. and
as II Is clearly shown that their patronage
OF the railroads in freights to Savannah is
extensive, the operators are DESTROYS of
getting one fun fare for the round Trim

STILL TRYING TO FUSE.
PrOhibitiOnfsts. Republicans and
Pops" Nay Get Together.

E0NN mMN AHfA
Mr.. Tomlinson F. Johnson. who Is still
mentioned as the probable republican
nominee for governor OF Georgia, was
seen yesterday with regard 10 the report
that the republican party viii call q state
convention and put out a state ticket.
Mr.. johnson stated that he mad just
received a notice from Col A. j.. Buck,
chairman OF the state central committee,
calling the committee together in Atlanta
on Aug. II, al which time. he said. no
doubt arrangements would be made 10 can
a state convention. As a matter of put
ting out a ticket he said only what he
stated In his former interview. that
majority OF the committee, he thought, IA
vOred putting out a fun ticket. Further
than this Mr. Johnson would not be
quoted.
Ii is stated in certain republican cir
cles, however, that some effort is to be
made TO bring about a fusion on an agree
able basis OF the republicans with the
prohibitiOnists and pOpulists. From all
tho indications il looks as II the wires
were being pulled In that way just at pres
ent, though it IS not known what the
neutrality-suspicious. combine may have
to say about ii. This latter
faction. which put out a full
electoral ticket in favor OF
Bryan and Watson, has given its commit
tee the power to withdraw about six Of
the electors on its ticket, In case it can
make an arrangement with the democrats
by which some OF their electors Will come
down. 1t is considered by some that this
furnishes a loOphOle for deal with the
republicans should the situation take the
proper turn and the terms OF agreement
be made satisfactory to both.
Prominent republicans have made the
prediction that Hon. Seaborn Wright will
be the next governor Of Georgia. This
would make IL appear that there might
be something in the foregoing rumor OF
an attempted combine with the prohibit
tion-populistic faction. The republicans
who belong to the Buck faction are NOV
ing along without any regard whatever to
the Rev. r. X. Love faction. Those who
are asked about the matter say they do
not even dignity IL by calling IL a faction
They state they do not believe Love and
his committee will create any trouble
even and seem satisfied that everything
will move smoothly when the time comes

TO PROTECT BICYCLEs.
An Ordinance Against Throwing
Glass and Tacks on the Streets.


Glass and TacLs on the Streets.
An ordinance will be introduced in coun-
ell this afternoon to prohibit the throwing
Of glass and similar substances on the
streets and roads Of the city on the
ground of danger to life and limb. The
ordinance will be introduced by DR.. Falli-
giant and originates from the sanitary
board
The matter was brought up for discus

yesterday, and a resolution was adopted
that such an ordinance as stated be
framed and introduced in council The

There is little doubt of the favorable
reception and passage of the ordinance.
II will receive the hearty approval of all
the bicyclists in the city, who have been
the greatest sufferers from the malicious
throwing OF glass on the streets.
A Morning News reporter was Informed
that resident on the Thunderbolt road
had strewn broken glass all along the
front OF his property, which extends for a
considerable distance, and that he deded
anyone to remove IT, his purpose being TO
prevent the bicyclists from trespassing on
his sidewalk. A number of bicyclists have
had their tires ruined in consequence, and
they are very indignant about it,

NO FREE WATER FOR SHIPS.
The Water supply Question in the
Police Court.

Police Court.
Mr.. ]. j. Cumming, owner of the tug
Kinkora. and Mr.. r. S. SaIas, are on the
information docket Of the police court,
charged with allowing the Kinkora to fur
nish water to the bark Norskenet contra
~ to the city ordinances.
Mr. salas is charged with allowing the
tug to take the water from his wharf. The
charge is brought under section 500 of Mac
Donelrs code, which forbids water users
to allow other persons to take water from
their premises. There is some doubt as
to whether the city ordinances fully cover
the situation and the case is likely to de-
velop some interesting points. The charge
states that the offense was committed
last Friday. The case came up before
Recorder Wilson yesterday morning, but
Superintendent Lotion and TurncocS
Gradot were unable to state of their own
knowledge that water had been taken
from Mr.. Salas' wharf by the tug Kin
kOra, and Messrs. Salas and Cumming
stood on their legal rights and declined
to make any statement bearing on the
matter. The case was continued until this
morning to allow Superintendent Lotion
to gather further evidence
As the public is already aware the water
commission has made a contract with the
Propeller TowbOat Company, giving the
company the exclusive privilege of fur
nishing water to vessels in the port Of Sa-
vannah at a fixed rate. Mr. Salas was an
unsuccessful bidder for this contract. and
Is apparently inclined to raise some points
against it. When seen yesterday by a
Morning News reporter, however. he de-
MED that he had any intention of making
a test case.

TRADITIONS OF A TOMBSTONE.
stories of the old Monument In
Colonial Park.


Mr.. c.. R. Rossignol, with Messrs. But
Ter and Stevens, gives some facts regard
ing the peculiar tombstone in the OLD
South Broad street cemetery, an account
of which was given in yesterdays Morn
ing News, which may throw a little light
on Its history.
Mr.. Rossignol went through the old
cemetery in 1868 and made notes of the
inscriptions on nearly every stone, vault
and monument 1t contained. At that
time, he said, this queer monument with
the endless snakes upon 1t, stood there
just where it stands to-day over an old
underground vault. The vault itself, he
thinks was a receiving vault, and was
the property of William H. Bulloch edI-
tor of the Georgian, a paper published in
Savannah in the fOrtieS Mr.. Rossignol's
grandfather, on his mothers side Thos
d. Rice was buried in the vault under
this stone. Mr.. Rice was assistant editor
of the Georgian and was buried there
Oct. 10, 1913. Mr. ROsSignol, in 1868 found
the coffin plate, which proved conclusive,
ly that 1t was his grandfathers burial
place. He says the queer tombstone mas
never had any inscription on it, and his
mother tells him that 1t was placed there
on account of a death from snake bite
probably TO commemorate one of Mr.
Bulloch's relatives The old cemetery
was closed in 1854, that being the latest
date found on any tombstone.
A Morning News reporter called yester-
day on a lady who recalls distinctly the
time when the monument stood an impos-
ing figure, among the tonlbs tones about to
indicate the resting place of departed
members of the Masonic order She de-
scribed the monument as it then appeared
and spoke positively Of the picture being
a perfect one, for in the old days, in play
ing with her little friends about the Gem
etery they were filled with awe at the one
inscription appearing on the stone, the
serpent. The Masonic vault stood next to
that of her family and, for that reason,
also, claimed her attention beyond many
of the others. She describes the monu-
ment as having been formerly mounted on
a pedestal formed by a Geneva cross of
masonry with its faces covered with mar
BILE slabs. Upon the center of the cross
stood the monument as IL is now seen in
the park. The Geneva cross is said to
be one Of the Masonic symbols. as is also
the serpent. by the wear OF time the mar
ble-faced cross fell away, and when the
monument was restored, it was not recog-
nized as being part of the structure. md
the block with the carved serpents and urn
was placed only upon the other block The
monument has thus lost the commanding
hight it once assumed.
