WAS DULL AT THE HOTELS.
Christmas Day Always Mean a Slim
Showing of Guests.


Christmas with the hotels is very slow.
There is no other day in year that
brings so little trade. That is due to the
fact that travelling men and al othsrs
make effosts to spend Christmas with
their families. Il is. generally the case that
the few stragglers who are registered at
the hotels on Christmas are old bachelors
who have no homes 10 go 10. The attrac-
ton of little folks to be made happy By
remembrances and the visit of San A
Claus does not hold in their case and the
hotels reap the benefit.
The registers showed plainly hat il was
Christmas. and that without ref renee -

aside for the day. Most of the hotels had
not more than half dozen or o of ar
rivals. This is a busy season, however.
and il will b. but a few days before the,
registration daily shows up larger than Il
has for some time. The winter travel

Policeman BIumberg's Hnrd Struggle
with WOuId-De Murderer Hays.

With WOuId-De Murderer Hays.
f. Hayes, the white man who attempted
to murder T. J. Lanier by stabbing him
in the back with knife in the Kentucky
restaurant, on ST. Julian street, Satur-
day night, after having been put under ar
rest, was turned over to the Superior
Court yesterday morning on the charge of
assault with intent to murder. Lanier
was reported from the Savannah Hospital
to be doing very well 1t is rot Hayes
fault, however, that he is not a subject
for an inquest.
Patrolman Blumberg displayed GOODNESS
and determination in arresting Hays, for
which he has been warmly commended by
his fellow officers. As previously stated
i'm the Morning News, Proprietor Bigler of
the Kentucky liquor house. called in
Blumberg to make the arrest, when Hays
seated himself opposite 10 Lanier at the
table, supposedly for the purpose of max
ing trouble later: II was while starting
out with the officer that Hays sprung
upon his man. and inflicted severe wounds
refore he could be subdued. Blumberg says
ne threw Hays TO the floor, grabbed the
mans hand that held the knife, put both
knees upon his chest. and with his right
hand clutched the prisoners throat. The
officer could not release the hand with
the knife without risking a dangerous en-
counter He called for assistance in get
ting the knife from Hays, but the bystand-
ers stood back. The knife was gotten later
by Proprietor Bigler, after which Bum
berg released his man, and, with the as
sistanee of Policeman Unger, took him TO

Besides the new toys, which We're pres

been given to the nursery of toys that had
been used, and which will be kept as a

President Wheelock. of the park board;
Chief Clerk Erunson, OF the board Of
public works, and Assistant Corporation
Attorney Griggs held a conference yester-
day relative TO the assessment for Phalen
park. ULdcr the decision Of Judge Bunn
Of the district court, the work Of making
ar assessment. for, park purposes must be
completed by the board of public works
within four months from the time the or
der is sent to that body by the park
board. The last order for Phalen park
vas sent to the board of public works
July 10 and by Nov. 10 the assessment
must be completed. -~
The board of public works has Informed
the park board that with the present
force of clerks it would be impossible to
make out the necessary abstracts and
assessment rolls in the time allowed. At
the cor ference yesterday President
Wheclock stated that some arrangement
would be MADE by which an additional
force Of three clerks could be employed
for about six weeks to assist the regular
force in the preparation of the assess
neut pre- ceedings. Just where the money
to pay the additional clerks was to come
from Mr. Whoelock did not say. A re5o-

the disposition Of garbage and night soil
In the city for years past had been a
crying shame. He advocated that the
amount now paid the contractors for col
lecting and disposing of garbage be given
to the health department and the work
placed In the hands Of that department.
AS 1t was now the department practical
ly had its wings clipped, and could do
nothing but fine the contractors for fail
ing to live up to the contract for the col
lection Of garbage. There should be
radical change. The ordinance relating
to the removal Of night soil and the way
the business was conducted was an out
rage to the poorer classes In the suburbs
OF the city. The law provided that all
vaults should be cleaned once each year,
and In most cases there was absolutely
no necessity for this being done. The
companies engaged In the business of re-
moving night soil had an idea that all
the health department was for was to
make business for them.
The contractors for the collection of
garbage he had fined, some as high as $50,
and these men had informed him that the
prices for collecting and removing gar
page next year would be much higher
than the present figures. If the matter
was under the health office there would
be no Jobs or schemes. and some one
would be responsible. AS 1t was now the
the contractors for delinquencies, and the
department was simply a flgurehead, so
far as the collection and removal of
garbage was concerned
Mayor Kiefer called attention to the
system In use In Boston and San Fran
cisco by which garbage crematories were
operated, and favored a similar plan be-
ing operated here.
Comptroller McCardy said there was no
money by which the committee could
visit the several cities where such plants
were In operation, and the best plan
would be to secure information as to the
pants In various cities
Mayor Kiefer Informed the committee
that Rev. S. G. Smith and Mrs. Condo
Hamlin. of the Woman's Civic league
had been collecting information on the
subject, and the twain were made honor
airy members of the committee
City Engineer Claussen was directed TO
secure information as to the cleaning of
streets, and Health Commissioner Ohape
as to the various systems of COLLECTING
ana disposing Of garbage, and report the
same to the committee at it's next meet
ing, which Will be held in two or three
weeks.
