CASH on A GOOSE CHASE.
Passed Through savannah, But Is
Vow IN Jail at Havana.

It has remained for Jacob Cash to give
the world a veritable illustration of a
goose chase. Cash passed through savan-
nah some time ago en- route to Havana,
and stopped long enough to obtain the au-
tographs of ex- Mayor Meldrim and other
city officials, claiming that he was max
ing preparations for a big political boost
for the next Pre- Sidenual candidate. He
has since reached Havana, but, accord
ing to an account in the New York World
he is confined in the city prison there.

clothes from soldiers at Nedado.

papers. Among the IsaImber was newspa-
pers containing an acsOunt of his arrival
in town, the courtesy extended him by Of
tIcials. and the eagerne;ss the people felt in
his gigantic undertaking.. His story was
that he mad just teen no norably discharged

The next heard of Cash was that he was
in the tolls at Tampa for as saulting a man
who had refused to give an autograph.
Now he turns up in Havana for stealing
clothes. The chances are that Cash has
a case of wheels that have been revolving
rather rapidly. He obtain ed more auto

POLES COME OFF BULL STREET.
Director Gadsdcn Making IA Clean
Sweep for the Stone Walks.

The street and lane committee of Coun-
Gil is taking care TO properly protect the
property owners on Bull street, who are
being required to put down artificial stone
sidewalks. The committee is doing this
by making clean sweep Of poles from
Bay to CASTOR streets. and especially those
that obstruct the sidewalks.
Director Gadsden was insisting yesterday
afternoon on the removal of poles between
Bay and Bryan, some of which belong to
the Western Union Telegraph Company.
As the property owners are being required
10 lay walks the committee does not con-
slider 1t fair to have them INSTRUCTED by
poles, which would probably prevent the
contractors from turning out a neat JOB.
1T Is costing these people considerable
to do this work" said Director Gadsden,
land the street and lane committee, there
cleared. There are none who can claim
they have not had ample notice. While
letters were sent out several days ago.
nothing has yet been done by any of those
notified. Now we are compelled to insist
on the removal of these distractions.
Not only do some of the telegraph poles
obstruct, but there are several which the
burglar alarm company will have to get
out of the way Property owners should
be encouraged in this work, and efforts
should be used by the city to make It
profitable for them in the end. 1t is only
a question of short time until these poles
viii have TO be removed In all localities
If ii Is not done now the walks being laid
viii have to be torn up, which will entail
expense and general inconvenience"

DOGS GETTING TOO NUMEROUS.
Mayor Myers says Census VIII BE
Taken Next Month.

A Caring need OF the enforcement OF
the dog law is witnessed on the streets
of Savannah every day. The number Of
dogs wandering the streets, without badges
or collars, as required by ordinance, IS
probably larger than it has ever been
at this time of year. Complaints are be-
ginning 20 come to the city exchange, ASK
Ing that the authorities abate the null
sance of dogs running at large.
Nothing is palmer than the law against
wandering dogs it being required that the
occupant of any premises where a dog is
kept shall pay an annual tax on the AMI
NAL of 81. Upon payment of this tax a
badge is issued by the city treasurer TO
the owner, and every dog round running
AT large without a badge shall be i'm
pounded, and after forty-eight hours shall
be disposed Of by the city. 1t Is the duty
of the city treasurer to put ali persons
on oath as TO the number of dogs they
own. Whenever ii shall be deemed I'M
safe to permit dogs to go at large it is
made the duty of the Mayor TO issue q
proclamation forbiddng it, and until such
proclamation is revoked the police have
authority to kill all dogs found on the
streets
mayor myers sald tnat cog census VIII
be taken in May. and an effort made TO
Ind out who is liable for the tax on the
CANNES now roaming the streets. They are
not only Objectionable at the market, but
they are nuisance and menace in the
parks. 1t is the Mayors intention to have
the city cleared of dogs as much as posi-
Bile. Ii is not known at what time in May
the census will be taken. but the probable
ity is IL will be in the early part
The ordinance requires that collar shall
be attached to dogs for which the tax has
been paid, but there are probably not a
half dozen TO be found with collars. To
see droves wandering the streets every day
only requires a casual observation. The
enforcing of the dog law win be a source
of pleasure and general satisfaction

Sinclair Bros. Ask the United States
Court for Relief From Their Debts.
Sinclair Bros, a firm composed of David
S. Sinclair and Benjamin T. Sinclair, and
the individual members of the firm, all
want to be declared bankrupts, and their
petition asking relief from an over abund-
ance of debts and liabilities was filed in
the office of the clerk of the United States
Court on yesterday. The petitioners are
represented by Messrs Garrard, Meldrim
q Newman.
The petition recited that the firm was
engaged in business at Darien until the
year 1893, at which time its store and stock
were destroyed by fire and 1t went out of
business. The appended schedules show
that the liabilities of the firm amount to
S1.500.63 and its assets to 1921 SS, the liabili-
ties OF David s. Sinclair to SIS, 20S.O3 and his
assets, nominaly, to $1,000. The assets are
reduced, however, by the fact that the
piece of property scheduled at this figure
is subject to a mortgage lien of $1,000
Benjamin T. Sinclair states that he owes
no individual debts and that his assets
amount to $50.
Many Savannah firms are interested as
creditors of the firm or of David S. Sin
clair in the settlement of the case. among
them being the Palmer Hardware Com
pany. Lippman Bros. l. Epstein &, Bro
Savannah Steam Bakery Company, G. w
Parish, Meinhard Bros, and Andrew Han

ALL EXPECT TO GET THROUGH.
Underground work VIII Probably
BE Completed by Saturday Night.


Unless something unforeseen interferes,
It is expected all the underground work
now in progress in the city will have been
completed by May /, the time the ordi-
nance against digging up the streets goes
into effect. This gives the companies the
balance of the week to finish.
The Georgia Telephone Company has al
ready completed its original plan, and has
succeeded in extending its conduits beyond
the limits originally mapped out. The
company expects to run its Abercorn
street line to Duffy street. though the or
dinance only requires that il go TO Liberty
street. The line in York lane was to
have gone as far west as Jefferson street.
but il has been extended to West Broad
and south on West Broad to Stone street
a few blocks south of the Central Rail
road depot. 1t is stated the object of
this is TO keep pace with a rapidly grow
ing city Mr. Bisbee says he has faith in
the city's growth, and as he proposes %
make his telephone line a permanent fix
ture in savannah, he wants to do enough
underground work to meet the conditions
for some years 10 come.
The Edison Electric Illuminating Com
pany also expects 60 complete Its system
within the prescribed time. Some finish
ing touches were being put on the work
on Bay street yesterday, and the streets
are being leveled and otherwise put in
proper condition.

The Removal of All Rubbish Is Being
Required by the City.
The sanitary inspectors have been quiet
ly pushing their work in having all trash
removed from dwellings and yards. The
force was yesterday at work in Yama-
craw, in the vicinity of Hubley street,
where they have been successful In having
the people clear away all rubbish for the
scavenger department, which follows up
the inspectors. and removes accumulations
to the crematory.
Mayor Myers instituted this system of
then the entire force has been under the
direction of Chief Inspector Melvin 1t
was at first thought the work would have
to be relinquished on account of the extra
expense 10 which the city was put in cart
ing trash away, but the benefit was fully
appreciated and the cleaning will, there
fore, be continued until every quarter of
the city has been visited by the inspectors.
Their methods insure that they will leave
little rubbish behind. The occupants of
houses are first notified to clean desig-
mated portions of their premises, and after
sufficient time has elapsed, the inspectors
pay a second visit 10 see that their in
structions have been complied with. A
refusal TO comply means that the violator
goes on the police docket.
1t is Mayor Myers intention 10 have
these raids made as often as there is an
apparent necessity for them. He thinks
the people will eventually expect a regu-
lar call from the inspectors, and will,
therefore, be more careful in preserving
cleanliness about their premises.
