THE sEABoARD MAKES TT LIVELY
Takes Another Step in the Rate War
Now Being Waged.

Washington, Sept. 9.-The Seaboard
Airline took another step in the rate
war to-day and gave formal notice of
a new freight schedule from Baltimore
to Atlanta and all other points on the
line This action does not cut pre-
sent rates, however, but forms COM
bination of the tariff for both high
land and water lines to meet the SINH
lar schedule the Southern filed. The
rate from Baltimore to Atlanta is now
81 cents, first class freight, against
a former tariff of seventy-five cents.
This includes the present tariff of five
cents on the Bay Line against the usual
first class rate of % cents. Several
minor roads feeding the west from
the contesting roads have filed notice
of schedules in conformity with the
cuts already made on those two lines

NO PARADE ON LABOR DAY.
THE LABOR SOCIETIES DECIDE NOT
TO TURN OUT.

The Lack of Harmony Between the
Railroads and the Labor Organi-
cations and the Fact That Rail-
road Employees Compose a Large
Part of the Membership of the So
cieties Decides the Trades and la
Dor Assembly in Its Course.
Next Monday win be Labor day. AS
already stated in the Morning News, there
will be little observance Of the holiday
here, with the exception of the closing of
the public offices, the banks and ex-
changes. There will be no demonstration
by the labor societies.
Gov. Atkinson's proclamation calls upon
for general observance of the day as a
public holiday throughout the state. The
only observance here taking the character
of celebration win be the programme at
the Tivoli Garden at Thunderbolt, where
the day was observed last year with con-
siderable enthusiasm.
The trades and labor assembly which
has heretofore always turned out on La
Dor day. will not do so this year, on ac-
count of the disturbed condition of the
labor societies whose memberships are
largely among railroad employees. The
lack Of harmony between the railroads
and the labor organizations has decided
the assembly to abandon its usual parade

BOY BURGLARS ARRESTED.
Six white Boys Held Under a Sc
riOus Charge.

Six little white boys from to II years
Of age. were arrested yesterday by Detec-
tive Godbold and lodged in the barracks,
charged with burglary. The names OF the
boys are Charles Neidlinger. Hugh Lima
han, John Rahily. NJ. Righton, John Nc
Cusky, and Setto Cleveland. They are
charged with breaking into and ransack-
ing a house at No 20 Gordon street oc-
cupied until recently by Mr.. c. f. Yonge.
Mr.. Yonge removed about three weeks
ago to Fourth street but left many things
in the house, for which he had no imme-
date use. Monday he was informed that
some planks had-b been broken Off the
fence. and that boys had been seen in the
yard. Knowing the boys in Whitfield
square, which the house faces, were a
hard lot. he decided to investigate. He
found that the house had been entered by
means Of window in the rear, and that
the marauders had made themselves free
with everything, breaking open doors and
scattering papers over the floor. He did
not miss anything and fastened up the
house, mailing down the window through
which entrance had been made.
The same afternoon the boys returned,
broke open the window, which had been
nailed down, and ransacked the house
thoroughly. breaking open chests and clos
cts and scattering their contents over
the floors. The mischief was evidently
done more In a spirit of maliciousness
than for purposes of theft. Mr. Yonge
only missed one article, a Photographic
camera. The case was reported TO the
police barracks, and the detectives be-
gan an investigation. They found that
young Neldlinger and Rahilly had taken
the camera to a pawpbrokers Monday
and endeavored 10 dispose of IT, but had
not succeeded in doing so. The camera
was afterward found by the detectives
in a negro womans yard, where the two
boys had left It. With this clew to go
upon. the detectives set to work and soon
had the whole gang spotted. The ar
rests were made yesterday. Some
Of the boys claimed that Neid-
hnger and Rahilly were the
only members of the gang who eptered the
house. The detectives think. however. that
the whole crowd took part in the mischief
The boys were all bailed out by their par
ents and il Is safe to say there were some
very interesting scenes enacted at their
several homes last night.
The Whitfield square boys have borne
hard name for some time as being an
exceedingly mischievous set, but this dis
closure will doubtless have the effect of
putting an end to their mischief. The
boys arrested are most too young to pros
ecute and they may be released on the
promise Of their parents to inhict severe
punishment. Mr.. Yonge has not signified
his willingness to such a termination of
the case, however.

LAWYER M'KETHAN's CARD.
He Says He Has No Aspirations for
Legislative HOnOrs.


Mr.. e. r. McKethan's card in yester-
days Morning News, declaring unquali-
fiedly in favor of prohibition, was read
with interest by a great many people.
Mr.. McKethan is a young lawyer, who has
located here and who has made many
friends. He is now in partnership with
Mr.. John Nicolson, Jr., under the firm
name of Nicolson & McKethan His posi-
ton was no surprise 10 those who know
him.
To a Morning News reporter who in
quired the meaning of the card Mr.. Nc
Kethan said
II am no populist and do not indorse
the populist platform or ticket 1t is my
intention to vote for Mr.. Wright as pro-
hibitionist. 1t is my impression that Gov.
Atkinson has been straddling this issue,
but if he demonstrate that he is as good
a friend to prohibition as Mr.. Wright, l
shall take pleasure In voting for him. 1
do not know Mr.. Wright personally, while
on the other hand do know Gov. Atkln-
son, and have a high regard for him per-
sonally. My stand Is simply one of prin-
cple."
Your card has given some people the
impression that you might make the race
for the legislature on the prohibition issue.
have you any such intention?" Mr.. Nc
Kethan was asked.
Not the slightest" he replied. IT i'm
agine that l would get a very weak sup
port in Chatham on this issue. The pro-
hibition sentiment is very weak here, and
that is precisely my reason for making
my position known. l wish to help to
strengthen it, and believe the way to do
so is to take my stand now without wait
ing until the movement begins to grow.
l want to help it grow if possible l am
not a fanatic on the subject, but 1t seems
to me that there is laxity of moral sem
timent In Savannah, especially among the
young men, greater than in any other
city of my knowledge. They are very
rarely found in the churches, few of them
are regular attendants upon any church,
and they are not even interested in chart
table work outside the churches.
The influence of the liquor business is
largely responsible for this, in my opin-
ion, and it is necessary to combat this
influence in order to elevate the moral
tone of the community. 1 believe that
prohibition is destined to prevail, not only
in Georgia. but throughout the whole
country and that 1t is the coming politi-
cal issue in this country"
do you believe that prohibition could
be enforced in Savannah" Mr.. Mckee
than was asked.
ut would be very difficult to do so at
first" he replied. at would be fought in
the same manner that the dispensary has
been fought in Charleston, but the op-
position would gradully decrease, and it
would finally be enforced, as other laws
ara enforced

ence with Mr.. Papy Capt. Purse stated
that the fertilizer manufacturers of Sa-
Vannah were not DESTROYS of invading the
territory OF Charleston in North and
South Carolina, but they felt that of
right they should be protected from
unfair discrimination against them in
their own territory
Capt Purse has also filed a complaint
with the Georgia railroad commission,
urging change in the ruling for assess
ing freight on empty barrels. Under the
present ruling railroads are allowed to
charge for distances of ninety miles and
over for an arbitrary weight of 100 pounds
per barrel, while for distances under
ninety miles only the actual weight can
be charged for. AS the average weight
OF naval stores barrels Is from sixty-1ve
to seventy pounds, this difference IS
considerable item TO the naval stores men
in the course of a year For instance, the
charge upon barrel of actual weight OF
sixty-five pounds for a distance of ninety
miles is cents. For distances of ninety
one to lOl miles the same barrel is esti-
mated at 100 pounds and charged for ac-
cording to Glass r, with 10 per cent. adj
ded TO standard tariff, or Is cents. To the
large naval stores factors this difference
makes quite an item during the year.
Capt. Purse will urge a revision of the
rule.
Capt. Purse has also requested permits
sion to appear before the commission and
urge a revision of the rule which permits
10 per cent. to be added to the standard
tariff on naval stores. He will point out
that of the four railroad systems enter
ing Savannah only one the Florida Cen
trail and Peninsular railroad. takes ad-
vantage of this rule to add the 10 per
cent. to the standard tariff. Capt. Purse
Will urge that on account of the de-
pressed condition of the naval stores bust
ness that this 10 per cent. charge in addi-
ton 10 the standard tariff be removed.
as three out of the four railroads enter
ing the city, have shown by their failure
to take advantage of 1t that they do lot
consider It desirable 10 DO so.

OPENING OF THE THEATER.
Large Sale of Tickets For the First
Performance.

Performance.
The appearance of Mcintyre and Heath
in Dixie Land" on the occasion Of the
reopening of the theater tomorrow night
for the season, will, judging from the sale
of seats, draw a large audience. The play
will be seen here for the first time In
fact, 1t will be presented for the first time
known to Savannah theatergoers from
their connection with the minstrel stage.
In their new play they are the only darby
characters. Those who have seen them
in negro delineatio know that they are
well up.
Years ago the two came before the pub
lie as minstrels, and for twenty-three
years have uninterruptedly travelled to-
gether successfully presenting their
sketches" Twenty-three years of part
nership is a long term yet Mcintyre and
Heath are still young men, and are
classed as comedians of the highest Or
der. This season they have left the vaude-
vile stage and will be seen for the first
time in legitimate parts. Lawrence and
Hamilton, their managers, have engaged
a supporting company headed by Lizzie
Evans, and have surrounded the play with
every requisite to complete the authors
intentions. New scenery Is carried and
number Of novelties will be seen. "Dixie
Land" is a southern play with plenty of
comedy carefully blended with the more
serious dramatic scenes, calculated to
please parquette and gallery alike. McIn-
tyre and Heath appear as two body-ser-
wants, while Lizzie Evans, as Little Sun
BEAM" will play the leading parts.

UNDERWRITERS URGE POST
PONEMENT OF RATE INCREASE.

to Meet the City Council and Fire
Commission With "A View to Max
ing such Changes ms VIII Avoid

Messrs. Charles f. Prendergast, r. NJ.
Hull and John D. Carswell left for At
lanta last night, for the purpose Of APP
pearlng before the regular monthly meet
ing Of the executive board of the South
eastern Tariff Association to-day.
They will present a memorial 10 the ex-
ecutive board from the local board of
fire underwriters urging that the ex-
ecutive board defer the proposed increase
in rates and appoint committee 90 come
TO Savannah and confer with the mayor
and aldermen and the FIRE commission,
and TO request such improvement in the
fire department as may be necessary in
their judgment to place the department ~

that II the improvements requested are
made that the increased rate Will be re-
scinded.
This action was decided on at meet
ing of the local underwriters at the Of
fee Of bearing & Hull yesterday after
noon. The meeting was short. the only
question discussed, after the adoption Of
the memorial being whether the memo
rial should be forwarded to Atlanta by
mail or whether it should be taken up
by a committee. The latter course was
decided upon and the committee which
prepared the memorial, Messrs. Prender-
CAST, Hull and Carswell, was appointed to
present 1t to the executive board.
The memorial is brief. 1t simply urges
that the enforcement of the increased
rate of 25 cents on the hundred be further
postponed and a committee appointed
from the board to visit Savannah and
confer with the authorities here with
view to securing such improvements as
will, in the judgment of the executive
board make the increase unnecessary.
The memorial makes no suggestions as
to what Improvements are considered de-
sirable or necessary, but leaves this en-
tirely to the committee, which, 1t Is be
lieved, will be sent here

THE NEWS FROM SEA GIRT.
Congratulations For the Savannah
Marksmen.


Col. William Garrard received the fol-
lowing telegram from Sea Girt yesterday
afternoon, from Capt W. W. Williamson;
Georgia Just won interstate match, 1,04S;
Massachusetts second, 1,oS0; Washington
third. 1O22
This telegram was sent in reply: "Tele-
gram received. Splendid result. Accept
earnest congratulations. Just capture the
regimental and Hilton, and we will be en-
tirely satisfied. William Garrard.'
There is great interest here in the re-
suit of the contests, and not only here,
but throughout the entire country, north
and south. Wherever team is represent
ed there is of course greater interest than
elsewhere In Savannah the reports of the
matches are closely watched. The fact
that the Savannah men went to Sea Grit
this year better equipped than they were
last year, with more practice and better
knowledge OF the ranges, II Is expected
they will do better shooting. 1t is true
they have stronger teams to shoot
against, however, and If they win all the
matches they are counting on winning
they will return doubly loaded with hon
ors and will be entitled TO a more en-
thusiastic reception even than they had
upon their return a year ago.
The Washington papers, in their reports
of the matches and the preliminary shoot
ing, say there is likely to be some trou-
bic over the guns. Massachusetts, il
is understood. is armed with a specially
made Winchester single-shot rifle of high
grade which the Massachusetts team pro-
posed to use in the matches. II permits
sion to do this is granted by the Sea
Girt authorities, then Georgia will use
a special Remington barrel. And then,
says a correspondent OF the Post, there
will be music by the entire band. New
York wants that chance, for its men arc
loaded down with many interesting meth
DDS of doing" those rihemen who use the
government arm. Pennsylvania is not in
clined to be imposed upon, and IL Is not
likely that the district will attempt to
initiate door mat. Jersey, however, will
not be much concerned, anyway. for Jer-
sey does not calculate upon cutting much
of figure In the competitions; besides
this Is Jerseys range and Jersey stands
IN the position OF a host toward guests
Should the fine rifles be admitted there
will be protests direct and vigorous. Tht
protests may not avail, and should that
be so this will be the beginning of the enc
of Sea Girt as an annual meeting place
of any consequence to rifemen generally
Creedmoor died of unmilitary methods
and Sea Girt may die Of the same cora

THE WEATHER AT SEA.
August Had Fine Weather-Septem-
ber's Forecast.

ber's Forecast.
The weather over the North Atlantic
last month was remarkably fine. South
of the 5Oth parallel 1t was good, excepting
a few moderate gales east of Newfound-
land, due TO areas of low pressure pass
ing over far to the northward. East of
the 10th meridian anti-cyclones or areas
of high pressure prevailed over the steam
err routes nearly the entire month, caus-
ing northerly and easterly winds over the
British Isles and coast OF Western Eu-
rope.
The winds off the American coast south
of Hatteras were principally from the
northward and westward, variable IN
force and direction. From Hatteras to
Cape'Race they were from the southwark
and westward, light to moderate.
The photographic bureaus forecast for
September is as follows:
Moderate or fair weather gen.
orally over the North Allan
tic. Occasional gales north of
the 35th parallel; also near the Amerl-
can coast. Tropical cyclones, or hurrl-
canes very probable. Fog west OF the
4lst meridian, across the Grand Banks;
also east of New England, as shown Ice
bergs in the vicinity of Belle Isle and TO
southwark as far the Grand Banks"
