TRUCE FOR VEHICLE OWNERS.
Police VIII Cease Looking for
Badges Temporarily.

Badges Temporarily.
The owners of vehicles, who may have
been keeping their outfits in stables, for the
past two days to avoid the police, win now
have a rest few days. There will prob
ably be no effort to catch vehicles with
out badges for the next few days. The
crusade will then be resumed, and the po-
lice will have out weather eye for all
violators.
City Treasurer Hardee sold about ten
badges Wednesday, and took in something
like $40 yesterday. While a large number
have supplied themselves, sttll it is be-
lieved there are still many vehicles with
out the required badge. There Is probably
no better way out of it than to procure
one, however, as the police win resume
their vigilance when drivers may think
they are mapping.
The ordinance regulating this provides
for the collection of a large fine in case the
owner of a vehicle fails to pay the license,
but for some reason, there is yet to come
a board of aldermen to enforce 1t.

Rev. Charles H. Strong leaves for
Washington next Monday to attend
the triennial general convention of the
Protestant Episcopal Church, to which he
is a clerical delegate. Col. ]. H. Estin
will join him there All of Georgia's dele
cation will doubtless be in attendance al
the opening session on Wednesday.
The convention will extend over period
of three or four weeks. Mr.. Strong will
probably be back in Savannah the last
Sunday in October. During his absence
Rev. H. B. Dean will occupy the pulpit
at st. Johns.
Among the interesting discussions that
are looked for at the convention is on a
proposed change of the title of the church
" TIC IlOIy 0dttlOllC OHutGAlg VI hc

of the church is regarded as a misnomer.
and at number of conventions abortive
efforts have been made to effect a change.
DR.. Strong does not look for the move
ment to have any better success this time
Although the majority of the clergy may
favor such a change he believes the lay
delegates win vote down the proposition.
There is considerable to be said III

more proper and more expressive" said
Mr.. Strong, "but the time has not yet
come, il it ever does. When the present
title was adopted the church was weak,
there was a bitterness against the Church
of England, and although the church had
most closely adhered to apostolic princi-

been termed The Church of America it
was realized that conditions were so adj

The name Protestant Episcopal was Sc

Considerable debate is also anticipated

1t is probable that 1t will be decided to

should be collected, and the sheriff was
instructed to levy. When reeonsidered

is no ground for delay in collecting the

WELCOME ron FIRST GEORGIA.
Col. Lawton's Soldiers May BE Home
Sunday.

The Irish Jasper Greens, the Savannah
Cadets and the Republican Blues will join
in extending their welcome 10 the return
ing companies of the First Georgia Regi-
ment from Savannah at Catholic Library
Hail.
Some days ago meetings were held by
the members of the three companies who
are in Savannah, and it was unanimously
decided to give the returning soldiers
reception when they arrive. This was just
after the news that the regiment was 70
be mustered out was received. 1t was
not known just how soon they would get
back home, but the Savannah members
wanted to be prepared for their old COM
rades when they get here, SO they went
right to work making all arrangements for
the receptions it was decided to give.
Under the original plan each company
had decided to receive its returning war
representatives separately using its arm
DRY room for the purpose. A few days
ago it occurred to some of the officers
and men, however, that it might be a bet
ter plan to join forces, secure a hall and
entertain the soldiers jointly. A meeting
of the officers was held, and the plan
was adopted 1t Will be ratified at early
meetings of the companies.
much better than that first thought of.
The company rooms would be too small
for the entertainment of the number OF
men who will return, added to those al
ready here who will join in the celebra-
ton, and it was also considered that
greater enjoyment could be had from hav-
ing the affair on the larger scale. AS
one of the officers said last night, the men
of the three companies have been like
brothers almost during their months in
camp, and it would be more pleasant TO
keep them together on the occasion of
their last jollification.
A postal card was received yesterday
from Macon from First Sergeant Ward of
Company X by one of the Savannah Ca
diets. He wrote that the companies win
probably leave for Savannah tomorrow
or Sunday. It is hoped that they will get
here on Sunday, as the day could then be
better devoted TO their entertainment.
Word has also been received from Col.
Lawton to the effect that the men will
probably get away from Macon at the
time mentioned

Bob Lesson of Waycross" is the latest
novelty at the police station house. He is
locked up there for drawing pistol on
some negroes at the wharf yesterday, and
is also held for carrying concealed weap-
ons. The curious part of the arrest is
that Bob is only 10 years DID, has one leg,
and presented an untidy appearance when
captured.
The boy told the arresting officer he had
been visiting relatives in Charleston, and
was on his way home. He went down to
the wharves to review the river front,
when a negro woman crossed his path
Words with whiskers on them followed
and as Bob balanced himself on his one
leg he reached for his gun. The woman
raised a hue and cry, which brought her
husband, Steve Brown, of No. 226 st. JUL
ian street, east, to the scene.
Stand back, you eoons," Bob Is report
ed to have said, "Ill kill the whole family
Don't crowd on me-"
There was a feverish time on the wharf
for while, but Policeman Becker came
along presently and ran Bob in. When
the case is called in the Police Court he
will likely be told to proceed to Waycross
and sin no more.

PLUMBER BURPEE TO RESIGN.
He VIII Retire From the Board OF
Plumbing Examiners.

At the meeting of the board of plumbing
examiners next Monday the resignation of
Mr.. L. L. Burpee, journeyman plumber,
will be read. He retires from the board
because of going into business for him
self.
Mr.. Burpee has made an efficient mem
Der of The board, and one the other mem
bers regret to loose. His efforts have been
to accomplish the ends the plumbing ordi-
nance was intended to bring about and
with this in view, he has labored faith
fully with his colleagues. Mr., Burpee has
given Inspector Cosgrove timely notice Of
his intention 10 resign, and it may be his
successor will be chosen at the coming
meeting.
The distinction between a journeyman
and master plumber is based on whether
they are employers or employees. A jour
neyman is one employed by another while
a master plumber is in business. Hence
Mr. Burpee's resignation.

Two ladies were down at the Central
Railroad depot yesterday afternoon at

around for some time, and, failing to see
the hustle and activity they thought
should be apparent with the Homecoming
of the troops they finally began to make
inquiries. One of the clerks of the build

battalion. He told the ladies that they
were evidently laboring under some mis-
take, as the Central was not bringing the
troops down. The ladies seemed greatly
disappointed at this, as they had con-
fidently expected to see their loved ones.
One of them told the clerk that she has

savannahs oldest Citizens.


savannahs oldest Citizens.
Savannah lost one of its oldest citizens
yesterday morning in the death of Mr..
Lehman Elias Bycz, at his residence on
Gordon street, east of Bull.
Mr.. Byek, who would have been n years
old, had he lived until to-day, had been in
failing health for some time the result
of an attack of pneumonia. He was con-
scious up to within a short time of death,
and passed away surrounded by his fam
lily. The funeral win take place this morn
ing at II O'Clock from his tate residence,
Rabbi Mendes conducting the services. The
interment will be at the Laurel Grove GEM
etery His birthday viii be his funeral
day.
Mr. Byck was well known to many Sa-
vannahans. For a long period he was in
active business here, accommodating a COM
petence. Born in Prussia, on Sept &c. 1921,
he left that country in early manhood for
New York, coming from that city to Sa-
vannah in 1871 Soon after his arrival in

MADE A RAILROAD MAGNATE,
Mr.. II. ID. DafTin Becomes SyIvania's
White Winged Angel of Pence.

NhItc WInAcO anger OF Peace.
Mr.. P. D. Dafin returned to the city
yesterday from Sylvania. Mr.. Daf1n is
now full-fedged railroad president. hav-
ing been selected for that important Office
in connection with the Sylvania Railroad
on Wednesday.
For the past two years, ii appears, the
affairs of the railroad have been injured
by the rivalries existing in business circles
in Sylvania. Mr.. L. H. Hilton, who has
been president and general manager of
the road, is also large merchant at Syl-
vania. Some business men became pos
sessed of the idea that the road was be-
ing admins tered too much as a private
enterprise and revolted. Instead of patron
izing the railroad, they hauled their mer-
chandise a considerable distance 10 the
river.
Instead of improving, these conditions
have grown worse, and 1t has been appar-
ent for some time that it would be neces-
sary to put disinterested outsider at the
head of the road 10 ensure a cessation of
the bitterness and boycotting.
Mr.. Daffin is interested financially to a
considerable extent in the road and the
board of directors were glad of the oppor-
tunity to put him i'm charge. All of the
opposition elements have agreed to bury
the Ratchet now, and it is the impression
that under the new management the road
will get all the business and prosper. The
road connects Sylvania with the Central
and 1t is proposed to extend it further into
the country at an cary date
