AGAINST GOVERNMENT HOSPITAL.
Alderman Duncan Fears 1t would BE
Menace 10 the Public Health.

Alderman Duncan does not believe 1t
advisable to establish a government hos
pital in Savanna. and is also opposed to
locating troops here. While there would
probably be a slight increase in business,
the risk the city would run from the i'm
portation of disease, he believes, would
not justify this gain.
Alderman Duncan is also opposed to es-
tablishing trade relations with Cuba and
Porto Rico, unless the strictest quaran-
tine regulations are observed. His reason
for taking the stand he does is that yellow
fever here would cost the city more than
1t could regain in fifty years. He is not
for any risks In dealing with the islands,
even IL there is slight gain to the com
mercial interests
None of the board are more willing to
help the commerce of Savannah than my
self" he,said, "but it must be done in
judicious manner In representing the
whole people of the city, | could not con-
scientiously approve any course where 1
could see the pos ibility of an epidemic.
1t seems to me the hight Of folly to talk
about estabishing trade relations with
the islands and then allowing vessels into
our port without the strictest Observance
of quarantine rules I favor a reasonable
detention at the station under all circum
stances, and especially in cases where we
have no personal knowledge of the inspec-
tor on the other side who does the disin-
feeling before the vessel sails. 1 favor ac-
cepting the governments pratique only
in cases where we have personal knowl-
edge of the care and capacity of the in
spector"
Alderman Duncan has been appointed on
the delegation to cooperate with the
Board of Trade delegation to work up
trade with the islands. Not being alto
gether in sympathy with the movement,
however, at least until he thoroughly I'M
derstands restrictions are TO be imposed in
the operations, he cannot say whether he
will accept the appointment.

TWO RELICS OF CoNFEDERACY.
Descriptive Lists of Soldiers Long
since Answered the Final Call.

Descriptive Lists of Soldiers Long
since Answered the Final Call.
The Morning News has been permitted
to handle two interesting relics of the
Confederate war
one of them Is a Descriptive list and
account Of pay and clothing of Must
clan Jno. NJ. Counts, Company d, First
Volunteer Regiment of Georgia, and
signed by J. p. White. Lieutenant COM
mauding. 1t has the endorsement of Maj
Herman tiirsch, Maj and Q. NJ, dated
July 20, 1854. The other is the descriptive
list, etc, of Private j. Stephenson, of the
same company, and is also signed by
Lieut. White.
The documents are printed on the famil-
lar white-brown paper of the Confeder-
acy. Maj. Hirsch, who was an Old and
popular resident of Savannah passed
away long ago. Private Stephenson is sup
posed 10 be dead, but Lieut.. J. p. White
is very much in evidence, and Is the we'll
known gun and locksmith on Bryan street.
Musician John M. Counts is The still
youthful looking head driver of one Of
the big Southern Express Company's
wagons, and though a grandfather of
many years standing. he looks as though
he would make a good soldier now.

VIII BE Laid Across the River This
Afternoon.
The wharf of the United States steamer
Tybee viii be connected by telephone with
the fire alarm system this afternoon.
Chief Mcguire and Superintendent of
Fire Alarm Joseph S. Walker will super
wise the laying of a cable for this purpose
this afternoon. The cable will connect
with the telephone and fire alarm system
at the wharf at the foot of Barnard street
and will be laid of from a lighter to the
wharf of the TyDee on Hutchnson's Isl
and.
Chief Mcguire win ask the tow boats
and other vessels to allow him sufficient
time between their trips 10 properly do
this work, and in all probability the own
ers and agents Of steam and sailing YES
sells will suspend navigation for an hour
or two for this purpose. The cable weighs
nearly 1000 pounds, with about !, 500 pounds
of anchors and the work of laying it is
extremely difficult under most favorable
circumstances.
Superintendent Of Fire Alarm Walker
and Electrician Larkin are experienced
men at this work and unless something
unusual occurs Hutchinson's Island will
be connected with the city by telephone
and fire alarm before night.

BOARD OF TRADE MEETING.
VIII Do What 1T Can to Help the
MunsOn Line If 1t Comes Here.

VIII Do What 1T Can to Help the
MunsOn Line If 1t Comes HERE.
At an adjourned meeting Of the Board
Of Trade yesterday afternoon a resolu-
ton was adopted pledglhg the support or
the board, within proper limits. to the
Munson Line of steamers In the event that
that company's project of stopping at Sa-
vannah on its way to and from West In
dian ports was carried out.
The board also indorsed c. w. Howard
& Co. for agents of the steamship line.
From a letter received from the company
it appears that the steamship Laughton
which left Philadelphia on Wednesday
and which it was expected would stop at
Savannah, will not come to this port
This vessel" the company writes, Ito
gether with several others of the fleet
has got passenger accommodations, and
we were about on the point of allowing
her to stop at savannah. Il for nothing else
than passengers. Some difficulties present.
ed themselves at the last moment and we
decided to delay the experiment"
A plan for advertising Savannah by the
publication of an illustrated book for gen.
eral public distribution was brought up
for consideration. Mr.. j. D. Enslow has
recently issued such a work for Charles
ton and proposes to get one out, showing
the advantages of this port, its CONNER
cial facilities, manufacturing industries,
business opportunities, etc. The board
gave its Endorsement to the project.
Mr.. B. F. Finney was elected official
chemist for the Board of Trade Mr.
Finney is one of the most capable chem
lists in this section and his services will
at times be of great value in the settle
ment of questions of the purity of turpen-
tine, etc.

MAY GO AHEAD AND BUILD.
Probable That Duffy street Church
viii Start Next Month.


The building of a new church edi1ce
for the Duffy Street Baptist Church may
not be seriously interfered with or delayed
by the loss IL has probably sustained by
the misuse of a large part of its building
fund.
Rev. ]. D. Chapman, pastor of the
church, stated last night that he hoped
to have work begun on the new building
by the latter part Of October. 1t is the
intention to tear the entire present build
erected the congregation will probably
worship in the present building of the
Second Presbyterian Church on Anderson
street.
The proposed building will cost about
$1,000. OF this amount the church had
in cash nearly 50 200, and 1t has outstanding
available pledges for $1,000 more. OF the
cash funds it is probable, as things now
look, that the church will lose considera-
Bile. Despite this it is the opinion of The
pastor and leading men of the. congrega-
lion that the building project should be
pushed through. 1t is thought that the
deficit can be made up while the building
is going up.
Yesterday the books of the building
fund were surrendered by Mr. Haupt to
the church representative. Some negota-
tons are now under way and in a few
days a satisfactory way out of the various
complications may be found.

WREATHs From SAVANNAH.
Three Patriotic Associations Honor
the Memory of Miss Winnie Davis.

Three Patriotic Associations Honor
the Memory of Miss Winnie Davis.
There were apparently no flags at half
mast in Savannah in memory of Miss VIM
ME Davis, whose funeral services occurred
at Richmond, Va, yesterday but there
was. nevertheless, no lack of sympathy
for her bereaved mother and no absence
of sorrow at the death of the beloved
child Of the late President of the Confed-
eracy.
Three wreaths were sent from here AS
slight expressions of the feelings of the
members of the organizations forwarding
them They were tributes from the Daugh-
ters of the Confederacy the Confederate
Veterans and the Sons of Confederate Vet
Grams. One or more kilograms of condo
lence were also sent from here to Mrs.
Davis.
In accordance with a resolution adopted
al a recent meeting of Lafayette McLaws
Camp of Confederate Veterans, Col. J. II.
Estill, Mr.. William Neyle Habersham and
Mr.. w. II. Chaplin have been appointed
a committee to draft resolutions on the
death of Miss Winnie Davis. The commit
tee is to report at the regular meeting of
the camp on the third Tuesday in October

Gen. AIser VIII Leave Here Monday
for Port Royal.

Gen. AIger VIII Leave Here Monday
for Port Royal.
Secretary Of War Alger win take the
revenue cutter Boutwell, at Savannah Mon
day morning to go to Port Royal Ac-
cording 10 the best Information at present
to be gained, he will reach here at mid
night tomorrow from Jacksonville
Gen. Ayers trip to Jacksonville is for
an inspection of the camps and hospitals.
He is visiting all the camps and is max
ing close personal investigation of their
condition.
As the secretary arrives al midnight to-
morrow and sails the next morning, it is
possible, ne may spend a while looking
over Savannah's harbOr and forming his
own estimate of the facilities Of the port.
The opinion was expressed yesterday by
a gentleman who met Col Hecker, chief
of the division of transportation of the
war department while he was here a few
days ago TO investigate the harbor facih-
ties, that the secretary viii hardly stop
here to make an inspection on his own ac-
count. He will feel, the gentleman thinks,
sufficient confidence in the opinion of Col.
Hecker to adopt Il as his own when it
comes down TO the making of a selection
of the city that is TO be used by The de-
partment as a place of embarkation of
troops. This gentleman, who is thorough
ly' conversant with commercial benefits
thst may accrue to a city from any source,
said he believes the choice of Savannah as
port of embHtka ion would be equality as
beneficial to it as the establishment of
camps here. It's selection as q point of en-
bafkatlon would mean that every regi-
ment shipped away would have to camp
here for four or five days. Some of the
commands that left Tampa for Santiago
or Porto Rico remained in camp for six
weeks before sailing.

New Restriction As to Membership in
Sons OF Confederate Veterans.


The meeting of Francis S. Barlow Camp,
L. S. c. ", at the First Regiments arm
CRY last night was SHINY attended. Eight
applications for membership were received
and referred. Mr.. H. NJ Branch, Jr.,
made a verbal report on the proceedings
of the association at the meeting at At
lanta.
Mr.. Branch and Mr.. A. F. Mar
melstein, Jr., were the delegates from Bar
tow Camp. Mr. Branch stated that the
Organization displayed remarkable
growth from the reports that were re-
ceived. In 1926 there were twenty-four
camps in 1897 there were thirty-seven,
ana this year there are 105 and others in
prospect. IL was the impression at At
lanta, and the figures appeared TO bear
1t out that the organization was destined
in a few years to become one Of the
largest and most important in the coun-
try. The growth in Georgia is especially
promising, there being now twenty-siX
camps the state being only second to
South Carolina
A new constitution was adopted, the
chief new features of which was a pro-
vision to the effect that no one but the
son OF an officer or a regularly enlisted
man i'm the army or navy of the Con-
federacy could become a member. The
son of a man in the civil service of the
Confederate government will no longer be
eligible to membership. A pin was also
selected for the organization, and it was
provided that the camps could use the
Confederate gray for uniforms.

FALSE FEVER REPORT.
Health Authorities Answer to Ru-
NOR From baltimore.

The brief report in the Baltimore Sun of
Wednesday Of yellow fever in Savannah
seems to have caused considerable talk
outside of Savannah. and some talk here.
1t created no uneasiness here, however,
because the city is remarkably healthy,
and there has been no case that has even
suggested yellow fever.
Health officer LeHardy was seen about
the matter and treated ii very lightly. He
said: Savannah is beyond the zone of
yellow fever now. There has been no yell
low fever here since 1876. and i do not ex-
pect ever to see it again here"
The report published in the Sun was
telephoned from Philadelphia, and the
word Savannah was, in all probability,
confused with Havana.
