NEED NO STAMPS.
Won't Have TO Put Revenue stickers
On Marriage Licenses.

Won't Have TO Put Revenue Stickers
On Marriage Licenses.
1t will be a pleasure to the clergy and
to prospective bridegrooms to know that
it was all a mistake about Decent stamps
being required on marriage licenses.
Stamps were called for under the general
provision of the bill compelling stamps
to be affixed to any document required
by law. AS certificates or licenses are
required in Georgia before the parties can
marry this was generally construed to
cover such papers. A decision has been
handed down, though, to the effect that
this is an error, and from now on either
the officiating clergyman or the bridegroom
will be dime better off.
The recent decision of United States At
torney General Griggs to the effect that
the department of justice has nothing to
do with controversies as to who pays for
the stamps on receipts issued by express
companies, etc, has attracted considera Bile
attention. AS the Attorney General looks
al it, the government is only concerned
in getting in the revenue, and If the
express companies can make their patrons
bear the burden that is none of his bust
ness. He adds:
THE United States district attorneys are
instructed by this office that they may
prosecute for the prescribed penalty any
company which issues a manifest or bill
of lading without the prescribed stamp,
but that in controversies arising between
the shippers and express companies as TO
which one shall be required to bear the
expense of the stamp, the government has
no direct concern under the war revenue
law"
In all probability, all the states where
there are railroad commissions having au-
thority over express companies the latter
have acceded to orders directing them to
pay for the the stamps affixed to receipts
for merchandise shipped to points within
the state in question. On all interstate
business, though, the public continues to
pay for the stamps and efforts are being
made by the express companies to get the
commissions to take a different view of
the matter as regards business within
state lines.

PLUMBERS AND THE LAW.
some of Them Are Wondering Why
Ii Is Not Enforced.


some of the plumbers and a number CT
other people are wondering what Is the
matter with the plumbing law and if
nothing is the matter with 1t why It Is
not enforced
some time ago a firm Of plumbers was
docketed in the police court for failure
TO comply with the law in not changing
certain plumbing which was done in the
interim between the passage Of the plumb
ing ordinance and the appointment of an
inspector, to conform to its requirements.
Considerable plumbing was done during
that time; some of 1t was not in accord
anee with the law One firm of plumbers
when called upon to change their work,
took the position that although the ordl-
nance was in force there was no inspector
and it was not therefore operative, and
they should not be required to make he
changes which the inspector notified Them
70 make. The case went to the Police
Court The plumbers were found guilty
or a violation of the ordinance and were
ordered to change the work to conform
70 the law or pay a fine Of $50, or rather
the penalty of a fine was to be enforced
within ten days unless the work was made
70 cOHLorIh 10 the ordnance. Inc case
was tried July1
When asked about the matter yester-
day Inspector Cosgrove said that he was
unable to say whether the fine had been
RENTED or not or whether the work
had been changed to meet the require
ments Of the ordnance, as ~iirected by
the Recorder should be done. He has
received no notification to reinspect the
work.
The effect Of the 1oIun1biner ordinance
has been TO increase the price of plumb
ing and plumbers who claim TO do their
work as required by the ordinance want
to be protected. They claim that the in
crease in price is not in any way an adj
vantage taken of the public but that it
is necessary on account of the extra work
and higher priced material required.
good many people have come 10 look
on the plumbing reform as a sort of fail
ure Their opinion will be strengthened
if there Is a lack of enforcement of The
law. 1t may be that the work which was
ordered changed by the sentence of the
Police Court has been DONE but if it has,
the plumbing inspector says he knows
nothing about it.
The plumbers, as a body Of men, have
always had to contend with a belief
on the part of the public that they are
robbers, and they say they want to dis
abuse the public mind of that belief and
set themselves right. They thought The
plumbing board was going to do it and
they are wondering now when 1t is to be
done

for the numerous wounds in the present
instance, II the man only fell to the pave
ment."
Dr. willy thinks the cash In the
temple was sufficient TO produce death. as
it is possible it affected the brain.
Chief McDermott was seen, but prefer
red to say nothing about the case. He
said his record Is enough TO warrant the
people of Savannah benevIng that he did
not intend to sit down and allow such
thing TO happen, and not follow it to the
last He has Investigated the case per
sonally he said, being one of the first
men on the ground after the body was
discovered. He awakened his detectives
and did not leave the ase until he had
found out where Heiigenberg had been
during the night, what he was doing. and
who his companions We're. He traced him
to the spot where he fell and did not
ind the slightest reason for suspecung
foul play. lie made an examination Of
the body, looked al the dead mans pock-
cts to see if they had been tempered with,
and apparently took every precautiOn. He
took the view that the man fell, striking
his head on the curb, and TO this he at
tributes his death. Had the man been
stricken by an assailant from the direc-
ton OF Abercorn street, the chief says, it
is unreasonable 10 believe he fell directly
toward where the blow must have come
from, according to those who say they
heard man run north on ADercOrn. That
is against the law of gravitation.
II IS not known what action the authori-
ties viii take on receiving the resolutions
of the singing society. but as for the Po-
lice Commission, IL Is not improbable the
members win direct Chief McDermott to
use his own Judgment. as they have done
heretofore. Several calls have been paid
Solicitor General Osborne, who, it Is said,
has promised to do everything possible to
clear up the affair. 1t was Mr. Osborne
who sanctioned the autopsy made by DR..
Kenan. the result of which was that He'll
igenberg did not die from heart trouble.
The case will be watched with interest
by those who are anxious to know the
facts. 1t may be the authorities will quiet
public sentiment by pulling together in an
effort TO secure whatever Information
there is to be found.
