POLICE TO RIDE BIKES.
The Commission Decides to Intro
dnce the wheel.

The police commission decided at Its
meeting yesterday to buy three bicycles
for the use of the department.
A notice appears in the Morning News
this morning, calling for bids for furnish
ing the bicycles. II will be a good card
for any dealer to have his wheels used
by the police, and it Is likely that there
will be considerable competition for the
sale by the dealers.
Chief McDermott advocated the use #
bicycles by the police on the paved streets
several months ago, and they have been
used to some extent for patrol work on
Bun street for some time. The police
have taken readily to the idea, and there
are said to be al least a dozen good rid
ers on the force at present. The 1--WE
policemen who headed the bicycle parade
last week were not the poorest riders in
line by a good deal.
The bicyclists have become so numer-
Gus and some of them are so persistent in
their violations of the ordinances that 1t
is practically a necessity to have police
men on wheels to deal with them.
With the newly paved streets Of the
city a policeman can mount his wheel at
the barracks and reach almost any point
in the northern section in a very short
space Of time 1t is likely that the bicy-
clio will become a permanent feature of
Savannah's police department.

One of the InOcuIated Dummies
Taken OF by HydrOphObia.
The rabbit. which was inoculated with
the virus of hydrophobla, March %, is
dead. DR.. Graham, acting health officer,
received a letter yesterday from DIR. w.
]. Lindley, the officer at quarantine, to
which place the rabbits vera taken- the
other day, stating that the white rabbit.
which was first inoculated, had died the
day before
The rabbit died just Al days after inocu-
lation. The period of incubation in the
case of Miss Glatigny whose death from
hydrophobia attracted so much attention
at the time, was 81 days
DR.. Lindley stated in his letter that
for several hours before its death, the rab-
bit suffered with epileptoid fits at inter-
walls. This is considered a certain indi-
cation that the death of the rabbit was
caused by hydrophobia. There are now two
other rabbits at quarantine which were
inoculated more recently than the one
which has just died. Their fate is now
being awaited. A portion of the spinal
cord OF the rabbit which died Tuesday has
been preserved and will be used for the
purpose of inoculating other rabbits, the
intention being to establish the fact that
a case of hydrophobia or rabies did occur
In Savannah.

A recommendation from the sanitarv

streets at $40 per month be accepted and
that the salary of the keeper be fixed at

the old dispensary property at Whitaker

will be given the free-eye clinic.
Alderman Hull objected to the imme-
diate consideration OF the ordinance. Al
derman Owens offered to change Il so as
to place the election Of the dispensary
officers IN the hands OF council.

RULES OF THE ROAD AMENDED.
Alderman CharItOn's Effort to Re
duce the Speed of Bicycles.

Alderman Guckenheimer's ordinance,
amending the road ordinance by requir-
ing persons using Oglethorpe avenue and
Liberty streets to take the north road
ways going west and the south roadways
in going east, was adopted by the city
council last night.
Alderman Owens introduced an amend
ment, excepting the block of the south
roadway in front of the De Soto, on Lib
erty street and the block on the south
roadway Of Oglethorpe avenue, between
Drayton and Abercorn streets, which was
accepted by Alderman Guckenheimer.
Alderman Charlton offered an amend
ment to strike out the second section Of
the ordinance, permitting bicycles to go
at the rate of ten miles an hour. The
alderman said il is all he can do to get
out of the way of the bicycles now, and
II they are allowed to go ten miles an hour
the pedestrians would have no show at all.
Alderman Krouskoff suggested that any
one walking on the streets be required to
walk at least eight miles an hour in order
to keep out of the way Of bicycles. After
some humorous discussion the amendment
was defeated.

LOOKING OVER THE CIVIL SERVICE
Special Clerk Bum Visiting the LO-
cal Examining Boards.


Mr.. Paul V. Bum, special clerk of the
civil service commission, at Washington,
is on a tour of inspection through the
south He was in Savannah yesterday
consulting with the local board as to mat
ters concerning it.
There is considerable interest among
government employees everywhere in the
outcome of the effort to modify the civil.
service law. The old soldier clause is al
ready in operation and the fact that a
general modification of the law is likely
makes the security of government en-
ployes somewhat shaky.
A Savannah man who was in Washing
ton recently and spent some time around
the departments, and who is familiar with
the methods of office appointing, said yes
terday that those who are not acquainted
with the work of the departments can
have no idea of the great pressure that is
brought to bear to secure appointments.
1t is not believed that the modification
of the civil service law, whatever 1t may
be, viii affect the minor offices for some
time at least. The modification will provide
for the filing of the more important Of
fees, the heads of departments, ETC., and
these in turn will take care of the minor
appointments. 1t is not likely that any
of the government employees in Savannah
will be affected by any modification that
may be made very soon.

Jim Small. colored. has confessed to
three of the six burglaries which have
been committed in Savannah during the
last few weeks. The probability is that
he committed the other three.
Small was first arrested by Chief Nc
Dermott, then a magistrate about seven
years ago and was sent up for seven years
on the charge of burglary. He was ar
rested one day, indicted the next and con-
victed and sentenced the next.
AS the recent burglaries continued to
occur without the detectives being able
to get any clue to the perpetrators, Chief
McDeTmott recalled the fact that Smalls
time was up and that he had been back
in Savannah for some time. Concluding
that he had doubtless fallen into his old
habits, the chief ordered his arrest. Small
at first denied knowing anything about
the burglaries, but some of the plumber
being found in his room, he confessed
what he saw would be proven against
him.
Small confessed that he had robbed the
house Of John Day on Williamson street,
a house on Burroughs, near Anderson
street, and house on Price street. At
each house he secured clothing and a
small amount of money. His manner of
entering was to cut the blinds, open q
window and slip in. Small will soon be
enjoying another seven years in the pen
