RIGHT OF SEARCH.

A correspondent is aggrieved over
the statement made in this paper that
in spite OF the war of 1912, the British
did not give up the right of search OF
American ships.
The extreme Partially OF American
historians Is the cause OF this popular
error. When the terms OF peace with
Great Britain are discussed, the failure
to abandon the right OF search Is not
dwelt upon with emphasis. The child

United States obtained all that 1t de-
manded.

Secretary OF State addressed a letter
to the British Minister In Washington,
in which he declared that the United
States would not tolerate this right OF
search any longer. The British Gov
eminent promptly assented, and, forty
four years after the close OF the war
the right OF search was abandoned by
Great Britain.
Only six years later the United
States violated this rule, by the board

FIVE SUSPECTED FIRE-BUGs.
Boys Believed TO Have Set Fire to the
TeepIe building.

Chief McDermott Of the police depart
ment and Chief Mcguire OF the fire de-
partment are Inclined TO believe they have
traced the origin of the recent burning of
J. ". Teeple's furniture store on Brough-
ton street, though there is no positive evil
dence.
The suspects are small boys, ranging
in ages from . to 2 years, none
Of whom have outgrown their knee breech-
es Those arrested on suspicion are Son
Mays, Lincoln Leseau, James alas Pike"
Thomas Moses Williams and Albert
Hams. The indications point strongly to-
ward some of them, and, in fact Chief Nc
Dermott says that young Thomas admits
he was at the Teeple fire, and duplicates
others.
The investigation started when Son
Mays was arrested Wednesday by Fire
Chief Mcguire, as reported in the Morning
News, charged with the attempted burn
ing of a barn at Bay and West Broad
streets. Others were then arrested with
the hope of developing evidence regarding
the Teeple fire, butswhat has thus far been
obtained is Of very vague and indefinite
nature, because of the fact that the boys
are very young, and little reliance can De
given their statements when they are
frightened. Even If the evidence were de-
veloped, CHIEF NcDermott realizes the dlt-
ficulty that would attend j conviction on
account of their ages.
A vigorous sifI viii be made by both
chiefs, with a view to ascertaining the
facts. Information has been obtained by
the police that two small negroes were
seen running north on West Broad street
just after the alarm for the Teeple fire
was sounded 1t IS also said that Thomas
and Nays admitted they were the boys
Why they should be out al such an hour
is not accounted for and throws shadow
of suspicion on The matter, which the
police intend fathoming if possible. In
order to do this, Recorder Hartridge con-
tinued the cases and the pump will be
applied again to get al the facts.
The whole matter, however, is surround
ed with mystery. Why 9-year-old boys
should be wandering around firing build
ings al midnight, the time the Teeple fire
started, does not appear on the surface.
Except by insane people, crime is not
committed without a motive and the the
Dry that these boys were implicated in
arson simply TO see the department get
out and have the pleasure of witnessing
the flames, is not thought to be web
founded
Developments are expected to follow

READ TIE CHIEFS BUMPS.
PhrenOIogist Told McDermott n Few
Things About Himself.

A phrenologist arrived in Savannah yes
terday, and called at the police barracks
TO get acquainted with and tender his re-
spects to Chief McDermott, whose char.
acter he OWNED before leaving. The man
wanted permission to read minds on street
corners without payment of city fees. The
chief told him to arrange about that at the
city exchange.
He will doubtless have little trouble
however, as he says he successfully read
the minds Of the city officials at Bruins
wick and Charleston, and thinks he can do
the same thing here, which he thinks will
be tantamount TO the payment of fees.
Speaking Of Chief McDermott, the man
said:
You are a detectiye, and cannot rest
when you have matters of crime on. vour
mind to ferret out. On receiving a wrong
you are slow to forgive. and always after.
ward regard the offender with suspicion. .
