SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND PROMPTLY

SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND PROMPTLY
REJECTED.
Albany. Jan. ! (SpeciaD.-Governor Roose-
welt has made another effort to fill the Office or
Superintendent Of Public Works with a man IN
whom the voters Of the state would put trust
and once more has failed On ,hs occasion he
proffered the place TO Henry II. Lyman, OF
Oswego the State Excise Commissioner. but Mr..
Lyman declined. Coming after the declinations
Of James a. Roberts and Francis V. Greene, the
Governor has reason to feel deeply discouraged
over this occurrence.
The Governor met Mr.. Lyman early yesterday
afternoon at the office Of the Secretary OF state
and invited him to call at the Executive Man
sion about 4 o'clock. Mr.. Lyman probably
thought that the Governor de sired to have a
talk with him about the Excise Department In
company with other State officials who were 10
him business relating to their depart
ments. But the Governor quickly showed Mr..
Lyman that this was not his purpose by ask
ing him to accept transfer papers to the canal
department. Mr.. Lyman may have been as
tonished by this profer. but he did not waver
in the resolution he formed over week ago
when pressed by Senator Platt and Benjamin
Il. Odell. jr.. to permit the use Of his name as a
candidate for the office.
He told Governor Roosevelt that for three
years he had been really overtaxed in the or
ganizaton and administration of the Excise De-
partment. and he was in no mood. and he doubt
ed somewhat If he had the physical strength, 10
undertake. the great work of reforming the canal
department. Mr.. Lyman considers the Excise
Department primarily as a revenue CORRECTION
bureau and believes that only by the most ener-
getic methods is the States income from this
source To be kept al its present grand total OF
over S12O0OeN a year. In the last fscal year

State taxation was reduced Si2l62iS and CITY

OVER PATERNAL PROTEST..
Miss Passmore Joined Her Lover ana
They Were Married.

Valdosta, Ga, June 2s.-There was an
other romantic marriage in Valdosta to-
day, the contracting parties being Mr..
Allen NJ. Ramsey of Pavo and Miss Lena
Passmore, Oldest daughter of Sheriff j. f.
Passmore. The marriage was arranged to
take place at the Episcopal Church, and
was witnessed by only two or three
friends.
There was some objection TO the mar
riage on the part OF tine brides father,
but this was worth very little in opposi-
ton TO the spirit which cupid had
aroused in the young couple. A friend of
the groom drove to the home of a neigbor
of the brides parents and the young lady
ACCOMPANIED him to the church. where the
groom was in waiting. Immediately after
the ceremony the couple left for their flu
ture home at Pavo.
The groom is a promising young bust
ness man, and the bride a popular belle
of this city They have many friends
throughout this section of the state who
will be pleased to hear of the happy cul-
mination of their courtship.

coLoRED CHURCH IN TROUBLE
Pastor Green Made Use of 5000 of Its
Borrowed Money.

Rome. Ga, June 2S.-Colored church cir
Giles here are torn asunder by the moral
obliquity of Rev D. t. Green, pastor of the
African Methodist Church.
Last March Green got the board of stew
ards together and gained their consent to
give a mortgage of $1,000 on the church
property in order to make improvements
A mortgage of $1,000 was given the Fulton
Savings Bank, $50 being discounted and
$25 going for attorneys fees, Green re-
ceiving only 81 025.
Green gave sixty notes for S2S, one due
each month. 1t will require five years to
pay 1t UP and the church win have paid
out 81 $50 for the use of $1,000. This was
all done without the knowledge or consent
of the members, and the facts only came
out a few days ago.
Green was confronted with the matter
and Acknowledged that he had used nearly
$500 for his personal ends. Sunday night he
left here but said he would return this
week with the money. The church is in a
foment over the matter and is burdened
with a debt of $1,000

1T PROVED "THE BEST EVER
The Law Could Not Touch Cannon's
Pool Room scheme.

Pool Room Scheme.
Atlanta, June 2S-The sporting fraterni-
ty won out to-day in the test case made
against w. r. Cannon for alleged viola
ton of the city laws in running a turf ex-
change in the heart of town.
The city fathers for a long time ago
out!awed the turf exchanges by high
license. Cannon would not quit the game,
however, but moved his plant just outside
the city limits. where he ran ii for while
before he hit upon the scheme with which
he has now euchered the city fathers.
AS stated several days ago, when the
detectives raided Cannon's place he had
bulletin board put in the rear of down
town saloon where the sports gathered
instead of going 10 his place outside of
the city limits. Close by a messenger
service Office was opened, and through this
adjunct the bets were made at the out of
town office. When results were announced
the sports were paid by Cannons agents
on The streets.
City Attorney Pendleton, after hearing
all the details in Police Court to-day, gave
it as his opinion that Cannon was not
violating the ordinance. and so the case
had to be dismissed. Cannon and tht
whole sporting fraternity now have the
laugh on the city fathers, as they have
got their pool room down town and do not
pay dollars license. Cannon told tn;
detectives when they arrested him tha
his scheme was the best ever" and ht
had no fear of the outcome. and the de
tectives now think that he Is a rea
peach"

GoREE WAS TOO ExTRAvAGANT.
Young Man Arrested for sGuander-

ing Employers Money.
Atlanta, June 2S.-Oliver X. Goree,
young man who enjoyed considerable ac-
quaintance and reputation in local BUSH
ness circles up to few months ago, was
brought to the county jail from Cincinnati
in custody of a detective to-day.
Gorees troubles are due to the manner
in which he is alleged to have conducted
the business of the International Trading
Stamp Company while serving as manager
of the Atlanta branch of that concern. He
was appointed to that position the first of
the year, and when the auditor of the
company came around to look up his ac-
counts last March It is alleged that he
found Goree had squadered several hum
bred dollars of the company's money. To
avoid immediate catastrophe, Goree left
town, and has been stopping at first one
and then the other city in the west. He was
finally nabbed in Cincinnati, upon a
warrant issued at the instance of the trad
ing stamp company and a detective sent
after him.
Goree's case is another of the kind
where a young man working on a beer
salary undertakes to satisfy a 'cham-
payne thirst"

Grand Jury Made Some Remarks on
the Use of COnvicts.
Atlanta, June 2S.-The grand jury made
It's general presentments 10 the Superior
Court to-day, in the course of which
County Commissioner Walter r. Brown
was discussed In the light of the charges
recently made against him because of
certain alleged Improvements made on his
property at the expense of the county
While the grand jury found no bill
against Commissioner Brown, its report
was quite roast for him in an indirect
way. The commissioner was found to have
had the county ehain-gang at work sex-
tensively in the immediate neighborhood
of his property, and in several instances
walls had been built and grading and paw
ing done upon the commissioners prop
erty itself A sixty-foot driveway lead
ing to his house had been paved, but the
paving was taken up at the subsequent
order of the commissioner who probably
OWNED that he might be called upon to
explain in the future, and did not want the
paving there as a silent witness of the
facts in the case.
The grand jury could only have found
bill of Indictment for malfeasance in
Office against Commissioner Brown, but
his pull was not considered to have
been used sufficiently TO justify this, so it
is said he was let off with a roasting
between the lines that will probably serve
as warning to other commissioners who
may have suburban property which they
would like to improve at the public ex-
pense.
