Proceedings Before Ordinary May

Edward Ward, another deserter from

will be communicated with"
hC NIAlcL IL SOMEWHAT pSrpl6XeQ, now
ever, on account of the habeas corpus
proceedings to come up in the Court Of
Ordinary this morning. An effort was
made last night TO find who was to prose-
cute the case here for the government, as
there will probably be no plea made I'M
less there is counsel. All Chief McDer-
mott desires is to do his duty in the mat
ter. He has wired Col. Garrard that ha-
beas corpus proceedings have been COM
menced, and asking for instructions,
which, it is believed, will be sent this
morning.

& Oliver, Henry Crosby and Georgia A.
Crosby filed a petition for habeas corpus
in the Court of Ordinary yesterday to re-
cover their son. John Crosby, who has
been arrested by the police as a de
serter from the volunteer forces al Tampa

confined in the barracks, awaiting the dis

the Savannah Volunteer Guards and left
them at Tampa a few days ago
In their petition for habeas corpus his
parents state that he is Illegally detained
by the Mayor and aldermen
and by Chief of Police Frank
McDermott, in that he is a minor,
| being only 16 years old. 1t is also stated
that he enlisted without the consent OF his
parents. Judge Ferrill set the case for a
hearing this morning al 10 o'clock.

CRUSADE AGAINST IMPURE MILK.
DIR. LeHardy to begin Tests of Milk
Sold on the Streets.


Sold on the Streets.
From the preparations under way In the
health Office it is evident impure milk VIII
either soon be a thing of the past in ea-
vannah, or exposed so that It will be IN
profitable for dealers to handle anything
short Of the genuine article.
DR.. LeHardys office was recently en-
larged for the purpose of putting in the
necessary testing apparatus, consisting of
ovens, water sinks and other necessary
things. Plumbers were at work yestcr-
day adjusting things. and putting every
thing in shape for early use. When COM
pleted there viii be no delay in the in
spections and in wedding out dealers who
may be adulterating milk, or selling it,
knowing the cows are not in healthy con-
dition.
The method of keeping up with the kind
Of milk that is being sold can easily be
done according TO the city's system. Food
Inspector Mcleod takes samples from the
wagons, a record of which is kept. A care
full examination is then made by DR.. Le-
Hardy for any impurity that may exist
and in case any is found, the dealer Is call
ed TO account for the violation of a city
ordinance.
Tests have been made before by DR.. lie.
Hardy. who Is familiar with the impurities
and authorizations in milk here. 1t is not be
lieyed they exist TO any great extent but
if there are any. the inspections that vii
be made win tell. The uses of milk make
its purity a matter of general concern.

WAR TAKES ALL THE LIVE STOCK
Users of Horses and Mules Getting
Along with as Few as Possible.

War has about paralyzed the live stock
market at Savannah. Dealers report the
trade in horses and mules duller than in
years. The high prices reported from the
great live stock markets of the South and
Central West, where the government has
been buying it's supplies for the army Of
invasion, have not reached Savannah.
THE condition just now is worse than
dull" said Mr. w. A. Susong yesterday.
THE lumbermen and naval stores men
are running along on the smallest posi-
bic expenditure of money and are buy
ing no stock. The farmers this spring
seem to have determined to get along with
what they have, even if hardly adequate
for their operations In the city trade Is
slack, and the aggregate business has been
very small. 1t promises to be a bad year
for dealers here. We pay higher prices
for food supplies and do not get the bene-
fit of the governments necessities. which
are said to have given rich profits to deal
ers in some sections"

MUSIC CLUBS CONCERT.
A Brilliant Programme of Vocal and
instrumental Selections.

Instrumental Selections.
The Savannah Music Club gave its an
nual concert at the De Soto last night.
1t was exclusively an invitation affair.
and the number of the Invitations had to
be limited TO the capacity of the hall
The room was tastefuly decorated with
cut flowers and palms under the direction
of Miss Phoebe Elliott. Most of the eX-
quisite roses came from Capt Manigault >
famed gardens, across the river.
Few people outside the club have any
idea what great work the music club
is doing in Savannah. It's membership
now includes most of all that is best OF
the local musical talent, and the interest
of the members is great and increasing.
The following programme was given:
Overture TO Titus" arranged for eight
hands (MozarD, Miss Ysabel Smart, Miss
Betty Gnosspelius, Mrs. Max Byck and
Miss Rosa Putzel
Quartette Sister Awake" (Templeton
Strong), Miss Angela O'Byrne, Miss Ada
b. Hudson. Miss Nellie Allen and Mrs. w.
p. Bailey.
'Elsa's Dream" from 'Lohengrin"
(Wagner), Mrs. T. p. Wickenberg.
Quartette for piano and strings op. %
Fesca), (ScherZo and finale), Miss Emma
E. Coburn, DR.. J. G. Van Marter, Jr., Mr..
NJ. d. Ccburn and Mr. F. H. Boucher
Aria from I'll Trovatore" WerdD, Mrs.
c. d. Mize
Romanza for violin, op. 30 GBeethoven),
DR.. j. G.. Van Marter Jr.
Piano concerto, op. 1855, andante and fin
ale (RafO, Miss H. Marion Smart, orches-
trail accompaniment on second piano, Miss
Emma i. Coburn.
The Erl King" (SchuberD. Mrs. N. H.
Finnie.
Quartette from "Rigoletto" CverdD, Mrs
T. p. Wickenberg, Mrs. 8. F. Smith, Mr.
t. Lloyd Owens and Mr.. w. F. Blois.
All of the numbers, solos and concerted
pieces were well rendered, but no encores
were allowed, an announcement to that eff
feet having been made by the president
of the club at the commencement of the
programme.
Where all was so good it is hard to
single out any one piece for special men
ton, but Miss Smart won new laurels by
her fine work in the Raft concerto.
A large part of the credit for the sue
cess of the concert was due to the ire
proachable and elegant performance of
Miss Coburn, who besides her two con-
| certed pieces, played all the accompani-
ments
Taken altogether, the concert was one
of the most brilliant, successful and en-
joyable that has ever been given in Sa-
vannah, and indicates the steady improve
| ment which the club is making.

PICNIC OF THE POLICE.
A Dig Day Ahead For the Peace
Keepers at Daufuskie.

The committee on arrangements for the
police picnic met in Chief McDermott's
Office last night to make further arrange
ments for the event at Daufuskie Island
next Thursday.
Among the features of the picnic will
be the dancing. Music will be furnished
by one of the best string bands in the city,
which insures a merry time. The commit
tee to take charge of this is composed of
James J. Barrett, chairman; Sergeants
Mock and Powell, and Patrolmen Umbach,
Clarity, Stark and Deignan. Attention
will be given to the details in this connec-
ton, and nothing win be left undone TO
afford all Il delightful day.
There is a boat committee also, whose
duty it IS to look after everything in con-
nection with the transportation. 1t is
composed of Patrolmen Woods, ]. A.
Godbold Lysaught, Sweeney, I'm
ger, Atkinson, Hodges and Crimmins.
This committee will also have charge of
collecting tickets on the boat, and since
there will be two trips during the day,
the number is probably not more than Is
needed. Quite a number of tickets have
already been disposed Of but there will
likely be many additional calls for them
before Thursday,

TRUCK FARMERS OFF YEAR.
A Few Crops All Right, But Most of
Them Failures.

This has so far been an "off' season
with most, if not all, of Chatham's truck
farmers. The late frosts and the contin-
ued dry weather have prevented them
from realizing their hopes of large and
lucrative crops.
Potatoes have done pretty WELL" said
Maj. G. NJ Ryals yesterday, land there
is a fair prospect for rne cucumber and
tomato crops, but the rest of the truck
has given very poor returns. Potatoes
have brought good prices, for which we
are duly thankful. l don't think the
truckers, though, will be in position to
take up an issue of war bonds out of this

politics? There amt any politics. It's
all war or crops. l believe there are some
excellent gentlemen running for Office but
we'd rather hear from Schley or Sampson
just now than them. The war has been
worse on the politicians than the drought
on the farmers"
