THE QUARANTINE WITHDRAWN.
ACTION TAKEN BY THE SANITARY
BOARD YESTERDAY.

People From New Orleans, Jackson
and Miami Can Now Come to sa-
vannah-HOusehOId Goods From
Infected Points Are Barred, How
ever, and Personal Baggage Must
BE Disinfected-The Railroads to
BE Thanked for Their Courtesy
and CO-OperatiOn-Quara In
spectors Must Now Look for other
Jobs.
At a meeting of the sanitary board held
a the City Exchange at noon yesterday
it was decided to withdraw quarantine
against all yellow fever points. The res
olution goes into effect al once and pas
sengers will now be allowed to come into
the city over the various railroads with
out being called upon by the quarantine
inspectors to show health certificates.
This action by the board will be the
cause of general satisfaction to the travel
ing public. At the same time 1t seems 10
be generally agreed that the land quaran.
tine has been enforced this year with less
inconvenience than ever before and at the
same time very efficient quarantine has
been maintained.
The smOorhness with which the quaran-
tine has worked has been due in large
measure to the cooperation of the several
railroad systems entering the city, all of
which have shown a commendable desire
to aid the health authorities in enforcing
their rules As an evidence that this
conduct on the part of the railroad off,
Gals and employees is appreciated, Health
Officer Drummer, as secretary of the board
was instructed to write to the local head
of each of the systems expressing the
thanks of the board for the many courte-
sizes extended and their active cooperation
in enforcing the quarantine.
The resolution Withdrawing quarantine
against the infected points applies to per-
sons only. Passengers coming from these
points and bringing baggage with them
will have to have their baggage disinfect-
ed before being allowed to enter the city.
The bringing in of household goods from
the infected points is strictly prohibited
and 1t is probable that this inhibition will
continue indefinitely.
Acting Mayor Tiedeman presided at the
meeting, the other members of the board
present being Alderman FARRELL MIR. J.
M. Solomons and Health officer Drummer
The members Of the board readily agreed
that the danger period had passed, and
that there was no longer any necessity
for maintaining quarantine.
Mayor Myers returned from Florida yes
terday at l o'clock. but arrived too late
to attend the meeting

PETIT BEARS THE BLAME.
Unwilling TO Make Any Statement as
to the Charges of His Wife.

Charles Peltz. who has been charged with
embezzlng from his wife certain large
sums of money, which she claimed as her
own. has consistently declined to make
fun statement of his side of the case. He

guilty of any wrongdoing concerning any
one other than his wife, and in support of
this assertion points 10 the fact that 10
day he viii begin again his service with
his old employer.
Peltz told a Morning News reporter that
his troubles sprang from family differences
that he was unwilling GO discuss. While he
had nothing to say for publication. his re-
marks would lead to the conclusion that
he considered himself in the right and
that did ne so choose he could clear Inn
self of all imputation of wrong. The in
ference is that he would rather bear the
blame than publicly to discuss his unfor-
tunate differences with his family.

plished rogue which he has been repre-

matter is involved in some obscurity that

JEWISH MONEY MEET.
Interesting Exercises at MicSva
Israel Temple.

The Savannah section Of the Council
of Jewish Women held their first meeting
of the season in the sunday School room
Of the Temple Aliclva Israel yesterday aft
ernoon. An invitation had been extended
TO all persons Interested in the work to be
present, and long before the meeting was
called 70 order by its president Mrs. I. P.
Mendes, every seat in the room was filed.
The audience was welcomed on behalf
OF the Council by Mrs. S. l.. Lazar0n, who
called attention to the value and many
sidejness Of the work. particularly its so
cial features and broad philanthropy. The
ardor that characterized this work when
IL was begun. seemed to have been dam
pened she said. but il was the hope Of the
council to revive interest in work that
filed so important a place In the field Of
religion ana philanthropy.
Mrs. LaZaron was followed by Miss
E1th Robinson who recited most charm
ingly That Old Sweetheart of Mine"
Mrs Moses Dreyfus read a most scholar
ly and interesting paper on a mothers duty
TO inculcate religious observances in the
home. Cultivate the heart, she said. for
faith and love come from the heart, and In
Gods work more hearts are needed than
heads. She also suggested a closer study
of Jewish history and the dssrability Of
q Mluef kHpWleABe OF literature.
Miss Lily Selig gave an excellent recita-
tion Of "On the Other Train, or What the
Clock Saw"
Mr.. I. G. Haas. whose subject was the
Mission School was introduced by Mrs.
Mendes. who said that never in, the history
of the council had 1t been so embarrassed
10y the lack of funds as when there came
tne duty Of opening the Mission School
this winter.
Mr. Haas made a forcible plea for the
continuance of this work, which, he said
was necessary for the good not only of
those children who received its immedi-
ate benefits, but also Of every person who
desired that these children should grow
up IN the Jewish faith and become good
citizens. He had no doubt, he said, that
the Savannah Jews will do their full duty
Mr. Abram Minis was the last speak
er. His paper was brief resume of some
of the modern conditions that confront the
Jews, and some excellent advice as to the
way that they should be met. He paid a
glowing tribute TO woman's power for good
and strongly advised the announcement Of
physical exercise among the boys and
young men. He also thought that they
should be encouraged 10 join the ranks Of
the volunteer militia and thus refute the
slur that is sometime cast on the courage
of the Jewish people. He spoke interest
iugly of the Dreyfus trial and of Mark
Twain $ recent article on the Jews, though
he did not agree with him in oil of his
statements.

EXTENDING IT'S WHARvEs.
Baltimore Line VIII Have Three
Times Its Present Facilities.


The wharves of the Merchants and Min
ers' Transportation Company are to be
greatly enlarged within the next six or
eight weeks, giving the company largely
Increased facilities for handling its bust
ness. The present sheds will be extended
to River street, and the entire of the old
rice mill property viii become a continu-
alton of the company's present wharves
and sheds.
The increased facilities will give S35 feet
of river frontage. Besides this several
sheds and warehouses viii be erected on
the rice mill lot, and will be connected
with those on the present site, giving the
company much more convenience in the
handling of freight. 1t is expected that
the proposed improvements will be COM
pleted by Jan. l, and that the transpor-
tation company will take possession about
that time.
The property occupied by the Merchants
and Miners is owned by the Central of
Georgia Railway, which is making the i'm
provements. The necessary timber for
the wharves and sheds is now being haul
ed, and unless there Is some unforeseen
hindrance, the work of construction will
begin at once Mr. J. J. Carolan, agent
for the Merchants and Miners Company,
stated last night that the additions will
make the terminals about three times their
present size
1t will be remembered that Mr.. H. NJ
Conner recently bought the old rice mill
property and for some time afterwards
it was a matter of conjecture as to what
use would be made of it. The fact il is
to become a part of the finest system of
terminals in the country makes the an
nouncement a matter of interest TO all
concerned in the city's expanding COM
mcrce.
