RECEIVER FOR MRS. McMURRAY.
Mrs. Prenty Asks the Court TO Re-
store Her Property.

Mrs Catherine Prenty, who is an in
means of support, received. through her
attorneys, an order from the superior
court yesterday granting an injunction
against her daughter, Mrs. Mary Ann Nc
Murray, as trustee, from the further GUS
tody of properties on McDonough street,
which should yield her an income of S13o
per month.
Mrs. Prenty, in her petition for the re-
clamation of the proceeds of rental Of
these properties, states that the lots be-
long to her as the rightful living tenant.
She sets up the claim that her husband
gave her the properties. her daughter to
act as trustee. Her daughter married Pat
rick McMurray In 1890, and, Mrs. Prenty
declares, that she has not received any Of
the rentals of the properties since 1891
She asks that the court grant her judg-
ment against her daughter, as trustee of
the properties, for the amount of 1924, as
back rentals for the last six years, the
rents having amounted to $3.50 per month,
minus 10 per cent. for expenses of collect
ing and keeping up the properties, maxi
ing net rental of SIT per month.
The strangest part of the story, ac-
cording to the petition of Mrs. Prenty, is
that she does not know where her daugh-
ter is, and has no means of ascertaining
her whereabouts. She states in the petit
ton that her daughter left Savannah in
November, 1896, and declares that the last
information she has had of her since that
time was to the effect that she was being
kept in an asylum in New York by her
husband.
She says that she has made every eff
tort possible to ascertain the whereabouts
Of her daughter with no avail. She has
called upon Capt. John Riley, the real
estate agent, in whose custody the prop
management and the collection of rents
but declares that he has invariably stated
TO her that he had no authority to turn
over to her the proceeds of the properties
In this way she has been denied she
claims, what was given her in a declara-
ton of trust by her husband, who is now
dead. She asks that the court grant her
some right to reclaim the properties, at
least to the extent of obtaining what she
claims to be due her, the rents from them
After hearing the arguments of the case
in chambers yesterday. Judge Falligant
issued an order restraining any further
management OF the properties by Mrs
McMurray, or her agents, and appointed
a temporary receiver to take charge OF
them. Mr.. Edward McCabe is named as
the receiver.
The court orders that Mrs McMurray,
or her agents, appear before the court
Aug. for the purpose of showing
cause If any there be, why the properties
should not be turned over permanently
to the control of Mrs Prenty. 1t Is or
dered that notice of the action of the
court be published in the Savannah papers
and in the New York papers.

THE NEW REGIME IN CONTROL.
Traction People Grain to Have Made
Good Thing in the Deal.


The Savannah, Thunderbolt and Isle of
Hope railway is now in full charge of the
properties of the old Electric railway. The
conductors of the Price street and Belt
lines still make their reports at the Gwin-
nett street office, and will continue to do
so until some other arrangement is made
The power house on Gwinnett street was
shut down yesterday, and will probably
not be used again. 1t is thought likely that
Secretary 7. G. Reid of the Traction Com
pany Will go with the new company as
secretary and treasurer.
Mr.. j n. Hartman left for New York
yesterday, but is expected back in about
a week. 1t is supposed that he has gone
north to confer with Mr.. Parsons, who will
not come south to attend the meeting to be
held shortly for the election of officers and
directors of the company.
Although the City and Suburban railway
is not included in the present consolida-
ton, it is understood that after the reor-
ganization of the Savannah, Thunderbolt
and Isle of Hope Railway Company, It
will be taken in, provision being made for
the outstanding bonds on that road. This
will complete the consolidation of all the
lines in the city.
The Suburban and West End railway.
which was built to develop property west
of the city is not in the consolidation, but
will doubtless be operated by It under the
same arrangement that it had with the
Electric railway. Capt Purses Savannah
and Isle of Hope line Is. of course outside
the consolidation. Some effort may now
be made TO bring this line into the city.
The parties 20 the deal on both sides
are very reticent as TO the terms on which
the consolidation was made The trac-
tion company people claim that they re-
eeived a good deal more than they bid in
the Electric railway property for at the
sale several months ago. Their bid was
S2ll,O00 and they are said to have received
about $4,000 more than that from Mr..
Parsons.
A feature of the deal was the difference
I'm the terms made by the Nashville peo-
pie and the Savannah holders of the Elec-
trio railway securities. The Nashville
people had about $4,000 OF bonds OF the
old company. for which they are to re-
ceive bonds in the new company. The
Savannah holders OF Electric railway
bonds. the amount being about S254 COO
get the same terms, with the addition of
a guarantee from Mr.. Parsons TO redeem
their bonds at "A specified figure IN cash II
presented within certain time. ma.
jority will take the cash. IL is stated.

BOYS oUT ON
A Big STRIKE
A Walkout at the Union
Iron Works Yester-
day Afternoon.
Over One Hundred Riveters Idle
for a Time in Conse-
quence.
The Lads Wanted Higher Wages. but
They Did Not Make Their
Wants Known.

There was a strike at tine Union Iron
Works yesterday noon that caused tenn
porary suspension of the work on three
war-vessels and for the time being rem
dered idle from 100 to $50 riveters. The
strike, although expensive to the en-
ployers, was not without humoro us side
to it. When the noon hour arrived fifty
three boys whose duty was to heat rivets
for the riveters, without word of warn
ing, walked out on strike and refused to
60 back to work.
The lads range in age from 10 to IA
years, and they receive from So TO Sc a
week. Their la Dor was not very hard, for
all they had to do was to operate the
small hand-forges and heat the rivets for
the men. Over 100 men are engaged in
the iron and steel work on the Japanese
and American cruisers, and when the
youngsters went out on strike these men
were Obliged to quit work for the want OF
heated rivets.
John Scott, the superintendent, was
taken by surprise when he heard OF the
strike and upon making inquiry heard
that the reason was that the lads wanted
more pay. That was the first he had
heard OF any dissatisfaction among the
boys. None had ever made a demand for
higher pay, but appearances indicated
that the plan to strike in body was not
the creation of the moment, but had been
carefully stvdied, as it was well executed.
When the rivet-heaters quit the riveters
were obliged to lay off work until another
crew OF heaters could be obtained. The
entire lot OF youthful strikers went in a
body to the corner of Illinois and Napa
streets, where they became ooisterous.
Lieutenant Benne. thought it was time
for him to take a hand in The matter and
drove the young strikers into the City.
The lads on reaching town at once spread
the news that they were out on strike
and within very short time nearly 200
other boys were Fastening to the Potrero
to make application for the places made
vacant by the strikers. There was but
little trouble in getting another crew and
to-day the work on the warships will
progress as if there had been no strike
at all.

Three of Them Steal Raw Hides and

Bay pirates Lave been terrorizing the
wharfke pers about the water front,
where, at this particular time, freight is
very plentiful. The thieves become so
bold that they do their work even in the
daylight, and not infrequently when there
is but one man on watch on pier.
Tuesday afternoon three OF the pirates
rowed up TO the Oregon Railway and Navi-
CATION Company's wharf and captured
twenty-five green hides.
Special Officer Anderson observed the
thieves ana gave chase down the pier
They reached their boat, however, and
got away without injury although Ander-
son fired three shots at them.
The tug Rockaway was under steam
several hundred yards out in the stream,
and her captain realized what was the
trouble. He put after the thieves, who
rowed into the Mail dock after ping
their hides over board. The captain fired

DAVIS CASE ARGUMENT.

Attorney George A. Knight Speaks for
the Contestants.
What are you laughing at?" de-
manded Attorney George A. Knight yes
terday afternoon, as he fercely turned on
Attorney William b. Treadweli, who sat
near at hand.
Mr.. Knight was arguing his side OF the
Jacob 2. Davis will contest. and took
offense at what he deemed the levity OF
Mr.. Tread well. who is employed as counsel
on behalf of the proponents of the will.
Mr.. Treadweil feebly responded that he
was not laughing, but Mr.. knight insisted,
Yes you were. and L not allow you to
laugh at me. Others NAV laugh at me.
possibly, but not you. You are under
too many obligations 10 me for me to
permit that"
Judge Coffey remarked that such re-
marks were out of place, and asked Mr..
knight to proceed with his argument.
The argument of Mr.. Knight was lis
tened to by large assemblage. He took
up the testimony point by point and
analysed 1t according to the interests
of his clients, who hold that the will is a
forgery. He made sport of the idea that
careful man, such as Mr.. Davis was
known to he, should be guilty OF placing
his will, disposing OF property worth

contained the ashes OF his dead wife.
This he regarded as especially worthy
of consideration, when there was appar-
emily no intention to have Mr.. Davis
remains cremated in order that they
might be mingled with those of his wife.
The remains of Mr.. Davis were in fact
en- balmed. Mr.. Knight said, quoting from
the testimony, and no incineration would
have taken place il the written order of
Mr.. Davis to that effect had not been
found by the chambermaid OF the hotel
after his death.
At the close of the morning session,
Mrs. Curtis. one of the beneficiaries under
the will, was so much overcome by her feel
ings that she tainted, but soon recovered
sufficiently TO be rem owed to her home.
J. c. Campbell will make the argument
on behalf OF the proponents of the will
to-day, and Charles ]. Heggerty will close
the argument for the contestants to- N or
row morning.
