educated at Emerson Institute and thence
going to Princeton University, where lie
graduated. He also took the course in the
Columbia Law School of New York city.
and after graduation nc practiced his pro-
fession in that city.

Mr.. Springer's Numerous Calls to
Pay Notes with His Endorsement.


Various notes are being presented to
Mr. p j. Springer for payment, when,
he claims, arc forgerics. Just what the
notes amount to is not yet known.
Suit was commenced by Mr.. j. f. VIII
link in Justice Naughtins court yesterday
TO recover $50 Of Louis r. Robinson, who
gave his note for this amount OF borrowed
money alleged to have been secured by
Mr.. Springer. A plea of non est factum
was made by Mr., Springer. setting out that
he did not sign or authorize his name to

Robinson left Savannah some time ago

CITY EMPLOYEES AND WAR.
They Can Not Serve municipality and
Uncle Sam at the Same Time.

They Can Not Serve Municipality and
Uncle Sam at the Same Time.
The status of the fire commissioners,
that is, Commissioners Grayson and Nell,
after their entry into the service of the
United States, did not come before Coun-
Gil at its last meeting. and is said not
to have been discussed In caucus.
The sentiment of the members Of The
board seems to be, however that the no
ment the commissioners enter the service
of the United States their service with the
city ceases and their places necessarily be-
come vacant. This is said to be the opin-
ion of City Attorney Adams, who stated
that the enlistment of the commissioners
in the service of the United States will
not only disquahfy them to perform any
service to the city as commissioners, but
viii dlsqualify them from performing 6ny
other service as citizens.
Citizens who enlist in the service of the
United States, Mr.. Adams said, are there
by disqualified from performing any duty
as citizens and cannot even vote without
some special enactment comforting this
privilege upon them. The same thing APP
plies to all officials and employees of the
city, and hence the city is powerless in
the matter of holding open places or con-
tinuing salaries.
Mayor Meldrim was asked about the
matter of the fire commissioners yes Ter
day, and said that he had not had time
to give the matter consideration as vet.
Sufficient unto the day is the glory there
Of" said the Mayor.
1t has been suggested that it is not be
You'd the bounds of possibility that enc
or the other of the commissioners might
be unable to pass the physical examina-
ton for admission to the service, in which
case he would remain at home to hold Of
flee and plague the Council by aiding to
retain Fire Chief Mcguire in office. In
case both commissioners Grayson and Neil
enter the service, and the vacancies thus
created are filled by Council as it is tax
en- for granted will be the case it is pre-
dicted that Chief Maguires tenure of Of
flee will not exceed thirty days In this
case 1t would seem to be the proper thing
to provide the chief with a military COM
mission and send him to the front also
This might prove a happy solution of the
whole situation, to the administration, at
least
Two members of the fire department
have already enlisted in Lieut. Grayson's
company, the Republican Blues, and in
case of new deal in commissioners, IS
is looked for, there may be more recruits
from the same source
