FRAZIER PAID TO STAY AWAY.
Received $15 Not to Appear Against
His AssaiIant.

Jacob Frazier, colored, who was to have
appeared as a witness in Police Court yes
terday, did not show up at the proper
time but was sent for in contempt Of
court and charged with accepting bride
OF SIS not to prosecute two negroes who
assaulted him few nights ago.
An account of the fight appeared in the
Morning News Frazier was assaulted at
his house on Cleburne and Arnold streets
by viii Glover and viii Ward The day
following the ARRAY he appeared to prose-
cute but took a back seat in the court
room and was not noticed until 1t was too
late to try the case.
Recorder Hartridge continued the hear
ing until yesterday morning, but when the
time came Frazier did not show up, ana
the arresting officer informed the court
that the negro had been paid SIS to stay
away. The Recorder directed the officer
20 at once arrest Frazier for contempt OF
court. This was done and the negro was
lodged in jail, where he will remain until
his testimony is given.
The police believe F'razler's house is de-
voted largely to gambling. Crowds are
reported congregaHng there frequently for
this purpose, though this is the first ar
fair that has come to the departments at
tention.

stein as President of Post a.
A called meeting of Post A, t. P. A. at
the Screven House yesterday morning, was
opened with prayer by Rev. DIR. Jordan,
the newly elected chaplain. Mr.. A. w.
Morehouse acted as secretary. President
for the pupose of closing up matters per-
tanning to the business of the late conven-
ton and electing a president for the en-
suing year.
Mr.. Lovenstein rendered his resignation,
which was read by the secretary, and up
on motion of Mr., Jennings was accepted.
1t was then moved by Mr.. Wylly that
committee of three be appointed to draft
resolutions expressing appreciation of
President Bovenstein's long and faithful
service. The committee consist of Messrs
R. l., Wylly. chairman; T. A. Jennings
and Ferdinand We'll.
The following officers for the ensuing
year were nominated and unanimously
elected:
President-Max Krauss.
First Vice President-T. A. Jennings.
Second Vice President-Abe Barnett.
Third Vice President-R. l.. Wylly.
IL was suggested by Mr.. Jennings that
q nan ne SSCuIeQ TO De uSeU as a meet
ing place for Post A, and he moved that
a committee of five be appointed to take
the matter under advisement, and report
at the next meeting.
Mr.. Lanier and others urged the neces-
sity for such action and pointed out the
benefits 10 accrue to the order by having
common meeting place of this kind.
The following committee was appointed
by the chair and instructed to report: T.
A. Jennings, chairman: c. e. Vinson, Ar
thur Well, F. Newberger and Harry
Brown.
Mr.. Krauss expressed Post AS apprecia-
ton Of Mr.. Lovenstein's faithful and EN-
Client services, and said at a later day the
post would express this appreciat ton in a
more substantial way by presenting a
handsome gold T. P A. badge, studded

PATRIOTS IN THE PULPIT.
Rev. DIR. schaefTer Ready to volun-
tcer as Chaplain.

Rev. DIR. schaefTer Ready to volun-
tcer as Chaplain.
There Is probably no class of people an
Savannah more interested in the war sit
uation than the ministers. Many of them
are paying eager attention to develop
ments, and manifest that spirit of patriot
ism calculated to inspire others.
Rev. DR.. William c. schaeffer, mem
Der of the Uniformed Rank, Knights of
Pythias, stated yesterday that he was
ready to go to the front as chaplain, and
felt that he could do quite as much good
among the soldiers as at home. 1t is his
belief that the people should lend every
possible assistance to the government ana
respond heartily to the call for troops.
While the conditions that obtain In Cuba
are against Christian sentiment, still war
was never advocated from the pulpits,
probably because the result in the way OF
involving other countries was too uncer-
tain.
DR.. Schaeffer believes that a concen-
trated effort of all Christian nations to
nut stop to such methods of warfare as
are being waged in Cuba, would have long
since received the Endorsement and assist
ance of ministers generally. AS hostii-
ties have commenced, however. he con-
siders it the duty of citizens to respond
and expresses his own willingness to do
so if called upon.
As to the Pythian Knights, however,
there is some doubt of their being able 10
respond as body. While there are about
125 members of the order in Savannah,
large number of these are connected with
tn local military and others are too old for
the service. For this reason the local or
der will probably not take any action to-
ward rendering the President their ser
vices as a body. 1t is safe to say that
there is not another more patriotic body
of men in Savannah than the knights.

PASSED SAME RESOLUTIONS.
Continued from Eighth Page)
FOR STATE TREASURER.
FOR MEMBERS DEMOCRATIC EXECU-
TIVE COMMITTEE CHATHAM
COUNTY.

Just after the passage of the resolutions
the committee from the primary committee
returned and notified the other committee
that there was one provision to which at
tention had not been called. 1t was TINS
statement appended to the fourth resolu-
ton: This resolution, however, is not 20
be construed as committing the party at
future elections to court house primary
as preferable to district primaries"
To this several members of the mass
meeting committee made objection. They
did not see any reason why the resolu>
tons should make any reference to the
future. The matter would be entirely In
the hands Of the new executive commit
tee, and they considered there was no rea-
son for such provision. Col. Dixon's
committee returned to the other side and
quite little discussion followed among
the members of the primary committee as
to the provision in question.
Messrs. Harry Willink and A. N. Manucy
led the opposition to the removal of that
provision from the resolutions, on the
ground that they did not desire to see the
coming primary set up as a precedent
Mai Schwarz and others, however, con-
sidered that IN the interest of harmony the
provision should be removed. 1t is looked
on with some distrust, he said, and as IL
was really of no force, he considered that
itlshould be removed. The provision was
then stricken from the resolutions by a
vote Of s to 5, several of those present moi
voting.
Thus both committees adopted the same
resolutions. The mass meeting committee
appointed a committee of five to look after
the managers to represent its side at the
coming primary. The committee is COM
posed of Messrs. John Power, p. G. ,Glea-
son, Warning Russell, Jr.. M w. Dixon and
Samuel Reynolds.
