CHIEF HOOD GETS IN TROUBLE.
Sensational Meeting of Augusta
Police Commission.

Augusta. Ga, March 15.-There was a
sensational development tonight in a
meeting of the police commissioners.
1t seems that Policeman Martin had been
drunk while on duty. and Chairman Cal
houn of the Police Commission and Chief
Hood had disposed OF his case with a SIM
pie reprimand from the chief. without fine
or suspension, and had not even brought
the case before the commissioners.
When called on to explain this tonight,
Chief Hood proceeded to defend Policeman
Martin, declaring that he had not been
drunk before in years, and was a faith
flu, and efficient officer. When he finished
Mayor Phinzy took a paper from his
pocket and asked:
IF what you have just said about Po-
liceman Martin is true, Chief Hood, why
did you address him in this way when he
came before you? You -- old big-bellied
sot. as you go wabbling down the street.
you don't know whether you are standing
on one end or the other, and now you
come to me for protection. "
This unexpected turn of affairs created
a sensation and the chief was taken by
surprise, but the sensation was enhanced
when he arose excitedly and declared.
THE author Of that statement is a liar"
1t went step further when Mayor Phln-
Ivy replied.
Go to the telephone and ask Recorder
Baxter to come here"
Then after some coloquy among the
members of the commission, It was decid-
edsto defer further investigation for
another meeting next Tuesday night in
which the case against Martin will be full
ly investigated and charges will also be
made against Chief Hood growing out of
the case. These have not yet been formu-
lated.
There were two or three lively passages
between the commissioners tonight, and
next Tuesday nights meeting promises to
be sensational

DECISION ON CITY CONTRACTS.
officials Wondering whether SUI
Dreme Courts Opinion Vitiates

Them.
There is considerable interest among
city officials over the decision of the su-
preme Court, that municipalities cannot
let contracts for term of years.
city officials are wondering what the ef-
fects of the decision are, and whether a
number of long term contracts Savannah
now has will be rendered of no effect by
this decision.
City Attorney Adams was seen by a
Morning News reporter, but said he could
not venture an opinion on the decision as
outlined in the dispa Itch. To give a
conpre hensive opinion, he said, will re-
ouire that he have copy of the decision
so that there can be no installing the
courts intention. Mr.. Adams said. how
ever. that he will decline to give his opin-
ion for publication even when he gets the
decision.
The general impression among city off,
Gals that the decision will not operate
to undo many municipal contracts in Sa-
vannah, no matter what Its scope may be-
They seem to think the undoing of the
contracts would be the result of dissatis-
faction by either party and as this does
the city or those with whom it has con-
tracts dissatisfaction Is not probable
The city has several large contracts with
individuals and corporation, including that
with the Brush company for electric
lights, and Warning, Chapman and Far
quhar for the house drainage system.

COLLECTED WITHOUT AUTHORITY
Kings Daughters Say Money Has
Been Raised Dishonesty


The ladies of the city who are men,
bers of the Kings Daughters are com
planning that some woman, acting with
out authority, has been among the busi-
ness men soliciting subscriptions for the
day nursery conducted under the ans
pieces of the organization. 1t is said she
received quite a handsome sum-
The ladies say that any of the nepohars
are authorized to receive names of sinh
scribers and amounts they are willing 10
give, but only Miss Viola Kennedy who
resides at No. S19 Broughton street cast
will receive the contribution. This ar
rangement has been made to prevent tbe
preparation of any further frauds.
At recent meeting the ladies' liscnss-
ed the matter and decided to adopt the
plan of having subscribers nav their
money direct 20 the treasurer In order n
avoid possibility of any further frauds
being perpetrated. OF course, there have
been ladies collecting for the nursery who
were authorized TO do so, and whose serv-
ices have been found of inestimab bic value
in the conduct of the creche. and the
officer of the Union of Kings Daughters
is sure that they will understand her
complaint of the woman who was acting
entirely without authority.
All the members of the union are any
ious to see the day nursery. TO which
| they have devoted great labor and much
of their time, made one of the most bene-
fetal of the charities of the citv ana
they desire that any who may be SO dis
posed will give literally to assist II. The
work is growing. and the ladies are any
ious TO rent a larger house for the ac-
commodation of the little ones left TO their
care.

THE OLD BOARD STANDS.
Judge FaIIigant Refuses to Oust the
ThunderbOIt Commissioners.

Judge FaIIigant Refuses to Oust the
ThunderbOIt Commissioner.
The present commissioners of Thunder
bolt will hold over until their successors
are elected in May. Judge Fanigant so
decided yesterday.
The motion for leave to file petition in
the nature of a quo warranto in the mat
ter of the Thunderbolt commissioners was
refused by Judge Falligant. The nudge
stated. in rendering his decision. that il
would be of no use to grant the
motion, as 1t being only a short time
before the annual election, it would be
impossible to obtain a decision from the
Supreme Court before the election. and
consequently further proceedings on this
line would be useless.
Judge Falligant also decided that the
three commissioners recently elected at
an election purporting to have been call
ed by the people of Thunderbolt were NOT
entitled to be recognized as such.
The decision of Judge Falligant leaves
Acting Mayor Desvergers and his SIM
porters in charge of the local government
of Warsaw, or Thunderbolt, as il is more
commonly called. The opponents of Nav
or Desvergers are not at all satisfied with
the result, and it is likely that some other
step viii be taken by them, though on
what line has not yet been minated

secured at the last session of the legis-
lature the registration and election are

An effort will be made to institute
reform in indoor ball in Savannah, and
the management asserts determination
to insist on it for all future games. Inc
'.rooter'' Is to be suppressed Much as
satisfaction has been expressed by the
patrons of the game at the continual
''rooting" INDUCED in by some OF the
friends of the various teams. The ladies'
especially, object to this boisterous con-
duct and the fact that the game has
lost in favor is attributed to this most
unseemly custom, which is not permitted
in other cities where the sport is in IA
vor.
The object of roofing" is to rattle the
nlavers. Both clubs request that the au-
dl4nce keep out of the game The teams
desire to play this game without the
assistance OF the rooter. This does not
denreriate the applause called forth by a
good play, but is intended TO suppress the
continual and senseless bowling. The
standard of the game must be raised, or
n win die a natural death for want Of
patronage.

ELECTION ECHOES
Three Road 0verseer Ties and Pops
Win Two of Them

In places in Allen county the cleo
tion was very close and three lies
resulted for the position of road over
seer. According to custom. the
county commissioners settled these
ties yesterday by putting the names
of the contestants In hat and draw
ing one out. The name drawn was
the elected man.
In joint district, No. . and 3, in &C.
neva township G. J. Rowland and +
Z. Lee were tied. The draw gave the
office to Mr.. Rowland, the Repub-
lIcan.
In district No. 6. lola township w.
II. Ling and John Harris tied, the
draw giving the Office to Mr.. Harris,
the fusion nominee.
In Salem township, No. 3, William
Lassman and Chas. Beeman were
tied, the draw giving the office to Mr..
Beeman, the fusion nominee.
Winning two out of three would
seem to indicate that the fusionists
are luckier at games of chance than
at the polls.
When the count was made it was
found that some unwavering sdmirer
in the fourth ward of lola had cast
one vote for Nj. l.. Decker for county
treasurer
Mr.. James Lockhart, the reelected
county commissioners, declined the
nomination and was sincerely anx-
ions that his opponent Mr.. Miller
10 elected, because his aged mother
is very sick and needs and receives
the constant care of the entire family.
The beautiful exhibition of tilial love
given by Mr.. Lockhart has won him
the esteem of men all over the county.
