TWO COMPANIES DIsBANDED.
COLoRED MILITARY OF CITY TO BE
REoRGANIZED.

Savannah HussaFs and Lone Star
Cadets Ordered Dfsbanded and the
Forest City Light Infantry and
Lincoln Guards COnsolidated-The
Georgia Artillery TO BE RcOrgan-
ized-SavannRh Loses Only Three
out of Eight CoIOred Military
Companies as Against Five Out of
six Elsewhere in the state-COI.
Deyeaax VIII SHH Have "A Full
Battalion of -Four Companies.
The report Of Col. William G. Obear, in
spector general OF the state troops, upon
hts inspection of the coiored military com
mands of Savannah was received yester-
day by Col. ]. II. Deveaux, commanding
the First Battalion Of Infantry, Georgia
Volunteers, colored.
The report orders the Savannah Hussars
and the Lone Star Cadets disbanded and
the Forest City Light Infantry and the
Lincoln Guards consolidated into one COM
pany. Otherwise the Savannah companies
are not interfered with. This still leaves
Col. Deveaux full battalion of four COM
panies, consisting of the ColqUitt Blues,
the Savannah Light Infantry, the Chat
ham Light Infantry and the consolidated
company just named. The Georgia Artil-
lery is TO be reorganized.
Compared with the colored military else
where in the state, which has undergone
inspection by Col Obear, the Savannah
commands come off with flying colors. OF
the six colored companies inspected by Col.
Obear previous to his visit to Savannah,
only one the Lincoln Guards of Macon,
was retained. This company will probably
be attached 10 Col. Deveaux's battalion.
To lose only three companies out OF eight
under the rigid inspection of Col Obear
is very ereditable. indeed, to the eolored
military of the city.
Col Obear spent the greater part of last
week here inspecting The colored troops.
The inspection was rigid and exact in ali
the details regulating the volunteer forces
of the state The result of Col. Obears
inspection was made known TO Col De-
veaux yesterday in the shape of official
orders from the adjutant general, disband-
ing The companies that We're found de-
ficient, and honorably' discharging the Of
fcers and men of these companies from
the state service, ard directing the con-
solidation of the two companies named.
The three infantry companies retained,
the Colquitt Blues, Savannah Light In
fartry and Chatham Light Infa ntry, and
the two companies which are to be consol-
idnted will hold meetings this week to
comply with the orders from headquar-
ters. Col Obear is expected here Monday
night to supervise the reorganization Of
the colored military Of the city.

DRAIN PIPES MAY BE BLOCKED
conLlnued from Eighth Page.

Congress lane and Barnard, and at Con-
gress lane and Whitaker streets. A rough
calculation shows that the drains will
probably slide under the Edison compa-
ny's conduits with about five or six inches
to spare. If this is the case. it will come
as glad news to the Edison people, as they
felt far from safe. President Baldwin said
he had made every effort to keep clear
of the drains, but he was by no means
assured that he had done so. He had re-
ceiYeG letter from Mr.. Sugden, who said
his recent interview in which he said he
had seen conduit distractions to the
drains did not refer to the Edison compa-
ny.
If the belief that the drains are OBJ
structed by conduits in York lane is true,
the importance of filing plans is not obvi-
Gus, since il is said the company operat-
ing in the lane is the only one that has
filed a complete plan Of the work il pro-
poses to do. Each company obtains per-
NIT from the director of public works be-
fore it digs a street, but the company
chooses its own depth so long as it COM
plies with the ordinance in keeping egh-
teen inches below the surface
Since the conduit work began the city
has put on a number of inspectors, whose
which they are assigned close up the
bitches properly, do not blockade the
streets, and comply with such other con-
ditions as the city requires. The inspec-
tors know nothing about the depth of the
sewers, however, or where they are To-
Gated and for this reason are unable to
give the companies much advice. Director
Gadsden said the inspectors had been given
fun instructions, but nothing had been
l.. -
out OF the way of drains Mr. Gadsden
said he had been looking after the drains
himself, however and felt positive there
are no eonduits in the way. The fact no
is not in possession of any plans, either of
the Edison company or the drainage con-
tractors, makes it impossible for him TO
keep things absolutely straight.
Alderman Graham, chairman of the
drainage committee, was seen after the
committee meeting yesterday, and asked
as to what action had been taken. He
said the committee desired to get fun
facts from Supervising Engineer Chap
man. and that until this Is done nothing
definite will be known Alderman Ora
ham said, however, that he did not APP
prehend any trouble in this connection
He says he thinks the drain pipes can be
connected without difficulty.
Mayor Myers said that there is no rea-
son to fear any trouble in making the con-
nections with the sewers on account of
the eonduits. Some Of the house drain
age inspectors, who for obvious reasons
do not care to be quoted, say there is a
possibility Of distractions from their OBJ
.eervattons. Definite information will prob-
ably not be had until the drainage cam
mittee has fully investigated the mater
which It will 40 at a meeting to be held
Monday afternoon.

Mitchell Jones and Phoebe Williams,
both colored, were arrested by Detective

arrested by Policeman Crosby at noon for
being drunk and disorderly and firing a
pistol on the street 1t has been only a
short time since the men got in a row
with a negro, in which he was severely

The death Penalty For women.


Comments on the execution of the
murderess Mrs. Place show that the
thinking and conservative world COM
mended the action of Governor Roose-
welt in refusing to interfere. The Lon
don Speaker says of this subject 1--WE
do not hear any ciamor against the
keepers of death traps, and the victims
of the Windsor hotel do not arouse that
passion of pity which was BESTOWED
upon the wild human beast justly pun
ished for her crime Men and women
who rave because a murderess has an
electric wire attached to her leg cannot
see that it Il criminal to build a hotel
which, when curtain ignites. burns
like tissue paper" In spite. however.
of the general tendency of public senti-
ment, the women's clubs of New York
have drawnup the following resolution:
"Whereas. the question has been
raised, What is the difference between
killing the woman and killing the man
condemned to death by the law? we
reply: Man suffers death at the hands
of his fellow men under penalty of
law which he helps to frame and sus-
tain. When woman goes to the electric
chair, it is men and not women that
condemn her to death and execute the
judgment. Therefore resolved that the
present civil status of woman in the
state of New York makes the execution
Of the death penalty upon her legalized
murder. :"
