DROWNING OF II. n. ZOUCKS.
Body Found i'm Rosedew Creek Iden-
fined by His Father.

Ttneu DS F1lS
The body found in Rosedew creek Thurs
day an account of which was published
in the Morning News was identified yes
terday as that of r. r. zoucks. The
father of the drowned man and Coroner
Goette went Qua to Montgomery early
yesterday morning when Mr.. Zoucks read
lily identified the body as that of his son.
An inquest was held, the result Of which
was verdict that death was caused by
accidental drowning. The body was
brought TO the city in the afternoon. and
al O'Clock was buried in Laurel Grove
Cemetery.
The drowned man had been missing since
the afternoon of July 8. He was subject
to temporary ALTERATION of mind, owing
to a fall that he received several years
ago His father thinks that he started
for farm that he owns on the Wa ters'
road, but that instead of stopping there,
he continued his walk until he came to
the Vernon river and fell into it. 1t is
thought that he must have reached the
river somewhere between White Bluff and
Montgomery, the tide doubtless carrying
his body to the creek in which the body
was found.
1t was reported in the city yesterday
that a physician who had seen the body,
thought that the throat had been cut
The coroner stated. however, that though
the body was mutlated the marks We're
doubtless made by crabs and that there
was no foundation for the theory that
death was other than accidental.

over the Countryside Change in
Temperature Predicted for To-
Day.
Under fiery sky that was untempered
by either cloud or breeze, Savannah yes
terday experienced the hottess day of the
present season.
From a comparatively comfortable tenn
perature of rs degrees at o'clock in the
morning, mercury gradually climbed,
minute by minute, and hour by hour, I'M
til at 1:45 IL reached the maximum of
the day SO degrees. There was but a
slight variation from this point until 8
o'clock, when there was q gradual fall.
At s o'clock last night, when the official
record was taken, and under the infiu-
ence of a most welcome southern breeze,
the record was Sc degrees, and it went
still lower during the night.
The maximum temperature for the same
day last year was only 80 degrees, and
only twice during that month was yes
terday's record overreached, and then not
until well along toward the end of the
mouth, when 9s was registered twice.
While it was hot in Savannah it was a
good deal hotter elsewhere. At o'clock
at night, when mercury stood at So de-
grees here, it was 80 degrees in Phiadel-
phia, So in Washington, 80 in Raleigh, 80
in Augusta and out in the West through
Western Kansas and in the Dakotas mer
curry was up in the COS. Kansas City had
the same temperature at o'clock as Sa-
vannah.. Savannah is getting now what
the cities further north have been hav
ing several days. The state forecast for
today is for continued warm and partly
cloudy weather for tomorrow the same
prediction is made Light to fresh south
winds may be expected

Mr.. Westcott's Meta w. VIII Not BE
Given First Prize i'm Regatta.

The Sailing Committee of the Isle of
Hope at ) o'clock this afternoon for the
purpose of awarding the prizes to the sue
cessful contestants in the regatta of July
4. The committee says that the announce
ment made in yesterdays Morning News
at the instance of Mr.. c. B. Westcott, to
the effect that the yacht Georgiana, own
ed by Mr.. Henry Backus, had been re-
tired from the first place. owing 20 re-
measurement, was unauthorized.
There has been no official remeasure-
ment.' said Mr.. w. W. Fretwell of the
Judges Committee yesterday, land what
is more, there will be none. The rules of
the club require protest 20 be filed with
in twenty-four hours of the close of the
race, and Mr.. Westcott has filed no such
protest He had no more authority to
take a measurement of Mr.. Backus
yacht, notwithstanding he had the latter
gentleman's permission, than an outsider
would have had This act was not au-
thorized by the committee, and the meas
urement was entirely unofficial. The
prizes will be awarded as already an
nouneed in the Morning News, unless
some error should be found In the calcu-
lauons of time
Mr.. Fretwell said that while there is
some question whether Mr.. Backus'
yacht should be permitted to enter the
second class on account of her build be-
ing different from the other yachts. the
committee permitted the entry of the
Georgiana in order 10 get as many desir-
able yachts into the race as possible. If
any enc had any objections to make the
protest should have been filed before
hand he said
Commodore T. P. Reynolds, who is also
a member of the Sailing Committee, stat
ed yesterday that Mr.. Westcott's yacht
the Meta w, would not be awarded the
first prize and that furthermore the COM
mittee would place its condemnation upon
Mr.. Westcott's action in the matter.
''If Mr.. Westcott thinks so much of the
Meta W." said Mr.. Reynolds, II will
give him a race any time he wants il with
the Constance for any sum he may name.
from $100 to $500"
It was reported that Mr. Westcott's
anxiety to have the Meta w. assigned
60 the first place in the second class was
because of n large sum of money which
mad been wagered upon his boat, but this
is only hearsay

Seem to BE Getting Together.
The Joint committees of the Board of
Education and the Chatham Academy

for rebuilding the Chatham Academy held
very satisfactory session yesterday af-
ternoon at the Office of Superintendent
Ashmore. The ground floor plan selected
by the committee from the board at its
meeting the day before. was submitted
to the Trustees Committee. The plan
proved satisfactory TO the Trustees Com
mittee and general discussion followed,
in which there was a free exchange of
ideas as to the plan and character of the
proposed building.
The ground plan being agreed upon 1t
was decided that both committees, with
this plan a basis, should proceed to
work out the elevations, the results OBJ
famed by each to be submitted and con-
sidered at a joint meeting to be held
some time next week.
All the discussion was of the most pleas
ant nature and with continuance of the
spirit displayed on both sides at yester-
days meeting there is reason 10 be ieve
that a satisfactory understanding as to
a complete plan will be reached at an
early, date. Both committees seem desir-
Gus of reaching a definite conclusion in
order that the further delay may be as
brief as possible.

The Alpha left her wharf at o'clock the
night before with about 400 excursionsts

a trip 10 Warsaw and back. The trip was
a quiet and enjoyable one until about
o'clock, shortly after Thunderbolt was
passed on the return, when two men got
into row over a woman, at least that's
the story told by one of the boat hands
as having been gathered by him from
those near the man who is supposed TO
have fired the shot. II was practically i'm

trouble for everybody, as soon as the
shot was fred attempted TO get away

RICE PROSPECTS FINE.
Crop In Splendid Condition and the
Outlook Very Satisfactory.

(FOD HI Sp1ehUtu kHt
Outlook Very satisfactory.
The prospects for the rice crop are
very fattering at present All reports
from the planters are to the effect that
the crop is in fine condition with every
indication of a. good yield, Most of the
planters now have the harvest water on.
The season has been a splendid one"
said gentleman yesterday who keeps in
close touch with the rice planters The
excessive rains have made the crop a rath-
er expensive one because of the extra work
required in keeping down the grass, but
this has been accomplished and the crop
is in excellent condition. There has been
no trouble this year with rnaggots or other
pests. The acreage in this territory us
about the same as last year, about 1900
acres With no setback the planters will
begin harvesting the early crop about Aug.
20"
1t is an i'll wind that blows nobody good,
and if the trouble in China keeps up, as
there is every indication that il will, the
probabilities are that China and Japan
will keep all their rice at home this year,
which will mean good demand and high
prices for American rice.

Didn't Know How He Got 1t.

Charles West, colored, was arrested last
night by Patrolman T. C. Murphy, who
charges him with having in his possession
a bicyc'e which he offered for sale at a
ri6iculously low price, and of which he
could give no satisfactory account. The
wheel is held at the barracks. The pris-
oner will be given, by the Recorder this
morning, an opportunity of explaining
how it came into his possession.
There were a few other arrests but the
charges were of a minor character.

COLE TOURNAMENT PUT OFF.
The Small Number of Entries Caused
POStDOnement.

There will be no tournament OF the Sa-
vannah Golf Club this afternoon, as has
been the case for the last two Saturdays
So many of the members of the club are
absent from the city that the attendance
al the tournaments has been small and
the entries few in number, and for this
reason the Green Committee has decided
to postpone that of this afternoon.
1t is possible that the very warm wealth
or has helped in producing the small num-
Der of entries at the tournaments, serving
to dampen the enthusiasm. as IL has GER
tainly dampened the collars, even of the
golfacs. AT any rate the tournament Of
this afternoon will be omitted and the Sc
ries will not be resumed until there are
sufficient players in the city to justify the
club in Offering the medal that is contest
ed for at each of these events.

Hundreds of Carloads of the Melons
Pass Daily Through savannah

into and through Savannah in constantly
Increasing volume. Something like 100
cars a day are being brought into the city

ultimate destination here or to be shipped
anew to other markets.
The Georgia and Alabama is handling
about thirty-five cars a day, and the Gem
trail is bringing many cars of this dis
tinctively Georgia product into Savannah.
Many carloads of melons remain here, for
Savannah is fond of them. but of course
very much greater quantities go on to
the cities of the North and East. The
Ocean Steamship Company and the Mer-
chants and Miners Line carry thousands
to New York, Philadelphia. Boston and
Baltimore.
