Island. At any rate. even with con-
siderable financial aid from other rich
New Workers, the handling here of the
stupendous W. W. Aston holdings
would be practically out of the ques-
ton.
It is, therefore, presumed that great
English syndicate has been organized
by Mr.. Levy with the idea of buying
the W. W. AstOr real estate and float
ing it in shares. British capital has
been successfully invested IN land and
buildings in this city on a small scale
heretofore, and similar investments
through the medium of a great COM
pany would be feasible. If. however.
Mr.. Levy has organized an English
syndicate, the fact is unknown here,
and Mr.. Astor's agents declare that
that person would under no circum-
stances part with his New York props

BAILIFFs FOUND TROUBLE.
Georgia Officers Went Into Alabama
to Make Arrests.

Georgia O1nceFS went AhNO Ald Dalha
to Make Arrests.
Atlanta, Ca, March PA trio of Geor-
gia bailiffs went across the state line into
Alabama last night in pursuit of two men
charged with committing a misdemeanor
in this state, and took their prisoners.
The bailiffs had no requisition upon the
Governor of Alabama and as soon their
presence in that state was known they
we're ordered to release their prisoners.
This they declined to do, and a writ Of ha-
beas corpus was taken out against the Of
ficers.
Early this morning Solicitor Robert ct
the TaIlapoosa circuit wired Gov. Gambler
about the situation and asked that he
wire the Governor of Alabama to hold the
prisoners until requisiton papers could be
taken out, but Gov. Gambler declined to
do so. Later in the day the Governor
wired the solicitor that under the cireum>
stances he thought it would be wise for
the Georgia bailiffs to drop the matter and
turn the prisoners loose until requisition
papers could be taken out, which advice
was taken.
This is the second offense of this kind
committed by Georgia officers within the
past two weeks the other being that of a
sheriff, who went over to North Carolina
and arrested man without authority.
Gov. Gambler thinks the officers should
know better than this. He is at all times
ready to uphold the officers but wants
things done in proper legal order. Il was
reported that the bailiffs had been arrested
in Alabama, which the officers there had
a right to do, but this proved to be incor-

w. f. CARTER IN TROUBLE.
Postmaster at MeIdrim 1910 Behind
In His Accounts.

HIS
WI. Carter. postmaster at Meldrim, is
said to be short in his accounts with the
government about 500. No steps have yet
been taken against him and he is still at
liberty. II is probable that his bondsmen
will take some action during the next few
days, and that Carter will be called TO
account. 1t was rumored yesterday that a
warrant for his arrest had been sworn cut
before the United States commissioners,
but no such action was taken.
The shortage in the postmaster's ac>
counts was discovered by Inspector War
die, who charged Carter with the appro-
pration of the government funds de con-
fessed and stated that the money had been
used in the last campaign for the advan-
tage of the Populist candidates, and that
IL had been taken with the connivance CT
the members of the Populist campaign
committee Carter was chairman of this
committee and the funds were used, ac-
cording to his statement to supply de-
ficiencies in its revenue. He said the COM
mittee promised to protect him, but that
the mempers had gone back on him and
their promise.
The postmaster's statement is denied by
Mr.. ID. II. Clark, whose father, since de-
ceased, was OIL 0dIltt > JOiid nc 2aiA
that the campaign in which the funds are
alleged TO have been expended ended in
October and that in December the post
masters books were examined and found
to be correct.
A meeting Of Carter's bondsmen was
held yesterday in the Office Of Mr. Clark.
1t was decided that the best way out of
the difficulty was to make up the shortage
and remove the delinquent postmaster
from the position he now holds. This will
accordingly be done. If no steps are taken
by the bondsmen the government may in
tervene and force Carriers trial for the
offense with which he is charged
Carter is well-known in Savannah, and
