CAR LINES COMING TOGETHER.
MR. PARSONS SAYS THE CONsOLI-
DATION Is ABOUT COMPLETE.

The Terms Agreed to When a Hitch
ing out of the Neutrality-suspicious.
Resumed and Expected to be Con-
summated Within the Next Few
Days.
Mr.. George Parsons, who has been
staying at the De Soto for several days,
said yesterday that he expects the con-
solidation of the street railway lines of
Savannah to be accomplished within a
few days.
There is very good prospect for con-
solidation," said Mr.. Parsons. There are
some bitches, but they will probably be
overcome. The plan of consolidation was
thoroughly understood when it was first
drawn up, and there is no reason why it
should not have been signed at once"
Mr.. Parsons did not state what the
differences are which have held the com
panies apart. He said, however, that he
expects to leave for New York next week,
and that the consolidation will
be completed before his departure.
THE consolidation will give the people
of Savannah an improved street railway
service" said Mr.. Parsons, land will ben
eft the lines
Negotiations for the deal were resumed
several days ago, and the indications are
that it will be completed shortly.
There has been a disposition among
some people to attribute the talk of
consolidation simply to deal between the
two systems to put up the fares.
The Traction company people announced
at the purchase of the road that it would
be rebuilt at once; new track was to be
laid, new ties put down, a new power
house was to be built and the road was to
be equipped with new rolling stock. The
only signs of improvement so far are the
piling of crossties along the streets
through which the lines of the system
run. One of the officers of the company
stated recently that there was never any
intention of building new power house
1t is very likely when a consolidation
Is made that the city will modify the or
dinance regulating street railways. The
question of transfers will have to be set
tied and the limit of time between cars
will be lessened, in order to give a bet
ter service than is now had. The cree
ton of poles will also come up. The in
discriminate erection of poles along the
streets and in and around the squares has
spoiled much of the beauty of the streets.
Under the new order of things 1t would
not be out of the way to require the use
of iron poles in place of the wooden poles
now in use, many of which will have TO
be replaced at once

A Day of Little Business and Much
Pleasure For the Delegates.
The chief feature of the hardware job
bers' programme yesterday was the picnic
at Tybee. which was attended by nearly
all OF the visitors.
There was a business session during the
forenoon at which time several papers
were read aud discussed. one of the pa
pers was by Mr.. J. ID. Moore and related
to the same subject which had been taken
up by the reading Of paper the day be-
fore by Mr.. William Supplee OF Philadel-
phia entitled. what Constitutes the Cost
OF Doing Business2' This subject was
pretty thoroughly discussed. and proved to
be one Of the most interesting OF all tho
themes that have been taken up so far
during the convention.
In the afternoon the delegates went 20
Tybee at the invitation of the Chatham
Artillery to attend the picnic of the milf
tary. some OF the delegates returned 10
the city az o'clock, while others remain
ed until the late trains. They all reported
an enjoyable time. and will resume the

Mr.. Jordan came to Savannah direct

ton, and the meeting of the Baptist
Young Peoples Union. His home has been
in Birmingham during his incumbency of
the office of secretary of the Baptist

ton he so arranged his plans as to admit
of his coming directly here upon its ad-
journment
On being asked about the work of the
convention, Mr. Jordan said he
regarded IL as the most successful he had
ever seen. Speaking specifically of some
Of its results, he dwelt with particular en-
phasis on the satisfactory adjustment, Of
certain changes and improvements in the
conduct of the b. Y. =. u. Where he had
feared opposition resolutions that will
conduce greatly to the future progress
and success of the union were adopted.
The union, he said has passed the year in
a formative state. and resolutions sug-
costing salutary changes had become ad-
visable The amicable disposal of the
Whitsett affair he also regarded as very
oommendabe in the convention, and a
great pleasure to himself.
The work of the conven-
ton, in freeing the mission board from
debt. he said. should commend itself to
every Baptist, as il was one of great val
ne.
Mr. Jordan will deliver his first sermon
as the pastor of the First Baptist church

course win be 'Co-laborers with God"
The parsonage will be occupied by Mr.
and Mrs. Jordan about June /. They will

Mistake of Savannah Banker Who
Wanted to Travel.
The boys of the Plant system ticket Of
fees are telling a good Joke on a promi-
nent banker. AS the public knows, the
railroads have been freely advertising the
rates of $3.50 for the round trip that will
prevail to-day between here and Jack
sonville, on account of the bicycle races
at Panama park. The advertisements have
been running for some time in the news
papers, and the banker thought when he
first saw the low rates that it would be a
nice trip for himself and his wife at a
slight cost. He made all his arrangements
and was down to the depot bright and
early yesterday morning with his wife to
board the train.
said: Give me two of those excursion
tickets to Jacksonville.
You are too early, sir" the agent said.
"The tickets don't go on sale till to-
morrow"
But you have the rates advertised for
to-day" expostulated the banker.
mo, we haven't" answered the agent.
1--WE have them on sale for Friday.
May a."
"Well. what's the matter with you?
This IS Friday, isn't it?'
On being informed that it was Thurs
day, the banker wilted Then his wife
suggested that the next time they were
to get ready to take trip he keep track
of the days of the week. The gentlemen
and lady will go down to-day to take the
train for Jacksonville, after a careful

FALLING OFF OF THE WELLS.
The Variations in Flow From 100000
to 100000 Gallons Daily.

The tests Of the artesian wells at the
water works have established the fact
that there is a evry considerable variation
in the flow of the wells.
The tests were completed yesterday. So
far, however, they only show the number
of revolutions recorded by the meter of
the flow from each well. The meter will
be gagged to-day by tests at the waste
weir at the water works for the purpose
Of ascertaining the number of gallons
per revolution.
Mr.. Johnston, the engineer who is con-
Quoting the test stated last night that
the apparent variations in the flow of the
wells is from 10000 to 100000 gallons.
The wells, which show a small flow, are
evidently choked up. An effort to free
them will be made to-day by flushing.
The flushing will be by pumping water
back through the wells by a fire engine,
This means has been found very effective
an many cases where the wells have been
choked up. After the wells have been
flushed they will again be tested and the
result of the flushing will then be shown.
Mr. Johnston has brought with him to
Savannah about 100 views of scenes along
the Chicago drainage canal, one OF the
greatest works of engineering now IN pro-
GreSS. WOTk mas DeeU III IIOSItSS OiA inc
canal since Sept 8, 1892. and in that time
over $4,000 900 has been expended out of
$3l 900 900 available. 1t will require two
years longer to complete the canal. The
canal Is intended to dispose of the drain
age and sewage of the city of Chicago,
and at the same time connects the great
lakes with the Mississippi river, furnish
ing a new outlet for traffic from the lakes
which is likely to proves of vast impor-
lance. Water which now flows from the
lakes into the St. Lawrence and thence
into the Atlantic ocean will be diverted
by the canal into the Mississippi and
thence into the gulf Duluth will then
become the head of navigation for the
Mississippi The canal will be navigable
for thirty-four miles with a minimum
depth of twenty-five feet. The main cut
is 29i5 miles long, being 100 feet in width
at the bottom. In the earth sections the
width is 200 feet at the bottom and 2SS
feet at the water line.
Mr.. Johnston has been assistant chief
engineer of the work since it's beginning.
When here last month at the request of
Mr.. w G. Cam, ex-chairman of the wa
ter committee Of council, Mr.. Johnston
agreed to bring his stereopticon views of
the canal with him on his next visit. Mr..
Cam has arranged to secure the Sunday
school room Of st. Johns church for next
Monday night, when an informal exhibit
ton of the views will be given, with expla-
nations by Mr.. Johnston.

TO PUT THE CITY IN CoLoRs.
Preparations For Next Weeks May
Festivities

The general committee on arrangements
for the reception and entertainment of the
visiting Knights of Pythias to Savannah
next week met at Knights of Pythias hall
last night. Gen. r. f. Harmon, chairman
of the committee, presided.
Reports of the progress of preparations
that are being made were submitted and
everything indicates that there will be a
warm and hospitable reception given the
visiting knights by the local members of
the order. Not only will the local knights
show this cordiality, but the reports show
ed that they are meeting with every aid
and assistance from the citizens, who will
join in according, hearty welcome TO the
visitors.
Several leading merchants of the city
were asked yesterday whether they in
tend decorating their business places in
honor of the Pythians. The invariable
tons in the blue, yellow and
red, the colors of the orders, would
be put out. One merchant, in speaking
of the matter of displays, said it should
be we'll done or not at all. He intends to
decorate his store with flags and bunting,
and he believes that all should join, as iso-
lated stores with decorations would be
ridiculous. They would indicate but
half-hearted interest. The merchants re-
alize that the events to take place will
be important to Savannah 1t is
difficult to estimate the number of
visitors that will be here from Monday till
Friday, but it is believed that it will be
large. The Knights alone expect 1000
members of the order from over the state.
Add to these those who will attend the
other meetings, shoots and contests that
will be held, and the number runs up con-
siderably. The other events are the state
convention of the Kings Daughters, the
annual shoot of the state troops, the an
nual contests of the Savannah Military
Rifle Association and the interstate match
es of the Forest City Gun Club,
The grand conclave of the
of knights of Pythias will be held May
1920; the Kings Daughters convention,
May 17-19; the the state troops matches,
May 1920; the Savannah Military Rifle AS
sociation's contests, May 1920, and the
gun clubs shoot. May 1920
The Knights are DESTROYS that the mer-
chants have their stores decorated in
honor of the visitors. The acknowledge
ment of the honor the knights conferred
upon Savannah in choosing it for their
meeting place thus shown would be in
taste and at the same time the streets
would be rendered attractive.

A NEW DIsPENsARY PLAN.
To he Submitted by the Druggists to
DIR. LeHardy.

DIR. LeHardy.
The druggists who are interested In dis
pensing medicines to the city poor, have
agreed upon a plan which they will sub
NIT to Health Officer LeHardy for his APP
proval. The plan adopted, they believe,
will do away with the abuses complained
Of by DIR. IeHardy, and win prove more
satisfactory to the druggists themselves.
The proposed plan IL very simple. 1t is
to divide the city into dispensary districts,
with one drug store to each district, and
requiring all prescriptions issued to char
ity patients to be filled by the drug store
in the district in which the patient re.
sides.
The druggists also agree with DR.. Le-
Hardy that the specials" must be done
away with. Heretofore, when physicians
prescribed proprietary medicines for pa
tients, the druggists were allowed TO
charge for the medicine at 20 per cent.
advance on the cost. Some of the drug
gists have been turning in considerable
bills for special prescriptions OF lste. The
druggists recommend that no extra
charge be allowed for specials hereafter.
but that when a proprietary medicine Is
prescribed by physician, that the
amount furnished by the druggist be pro-
portionate 60 the cost.

RIFLE ASSOCIATION OFFICERS.

Mr.. II. a. Cults Succeeds DIR. j. ID.
Martin as President.
The Savannah Rife Association held its
adjourned annual meeting at the Avon
dale range yesterday afternoon. The Of
ficers elected for the ensuing year are as
follows:
President-E. A. Cults.
Vice President-W. D. bearing
Treasurer-S. e. Theus.
Secretary-John S. Schley.
The board of directors elected is COM
posed of Messrs. c. S. Richmond, H. f.
Wilson and George A. Mercer, Jr.
The meeting was presided over by Pres
ident John d. Martin, and there was the
largest attendance of any meeting this
season. This had been particularly de-
sired, as it was wished that the officers
to be elected might be tee choice of the
entire association, rather than a few Of
its members.
A committee, comprised of Messrs. A.
Minis, chairman, c. S. Richmond and w.
ID. bearing. submitted it's opinion on the
adoption of certain changes in the methods
and customs of the association. Among
other matters the report approved the
change from the targets that have of late
peen USED 10 the ordinary mlnIdly tar
gets. The latter are so constructed as to
render much better scores possible, and
the suggested change, which was adopted,
will be acceptable to all the members,
who are perhaps not the crack shots OF
the association.
After the meeting shooting was begun.
Some good scores were made, but no re-
cords were broken. Recently, some of the
best shots have been making such extra
ordinary good scores that il had begun
to be the opinion that record breaking
would be the order throughout the sea-
son.
The annual contests of the association
will take place on the first Thursday in
June. The members will be divided into
four classes. The board of directors will
hold a meeting tomorrow night at the
home of the president.
