GIRLS AND BOYS As ATHLETES.
school of Physical Trainings Inter-
esting Exhibition.

The gymnastic exhibition given at the
Young Mems Christian Association Hail
last night by the Savannah School of
Physical Training was a most entertain
ing one. Twenty young ladies and five
boys took part in it and by their clever
and interesting work entertained for an
hour and a half che large number of spec
tators who had come to greet them on their
first public appearance in the athletic
field.
The performance began with a grand
march around the hall, after which, as a
continuation, several intricate and grace
full figures were outlined by the marching
line. After going through a number of the
muscle building exercises the class lined
up and followed each other in jumping
through large hoop, which was held at
increasing distances from the ground by
Miss Charlton, the instraetress. /.
Work on the buck came next, several
pupils of special proficiency taking part.
They all did very well indeed, but special
mention deserves to be made Of Miss Mel
lie Halle, Ora Adams and Lena Schulz
hafer whose work was exceptionally good
and also Master Walter Haas, whose di-
minutive size did not deter him from try
ing the most difficult of the feats per-
formed and who worked with vim and
skill that would have done credit to a
much larger athlete.
The flying rings was the next piece of
apparatus to receive attention, both the
girls and the boys taking part. This work
was followed by a relay race across the
hall and back, in which there were two
sets of contestants composed of both boys
and girls. Both races were won by Miss
Charltons teams.
The evenings entertainment ended with
a game of basket ball between the Reds
and the Fellows, which was won by the
former after two holly contested halves.
Miss Eunice Lipmann and Miss Estelle
Gutman of the Reds, and Miss Nellie Halle
of the Fellows carrying off the honors for
their respective teams.
During the intermission between the
halves of the basket ball game the spec
tators were amused by a boxing match
between little Walter Haas and his broth
err Hermann, which in reality, was the
hit of the evening. The boys rugged up
in true pugilistic style, and went for each
other in a way that showed there was
nothing cut and dried about the mill. -
Several rounds were boxed, and though
the fight may be said to have resulted in
draw, the sympathy and admiration of
the galleries were with Walter as much
on account of his size, as the aggressive
and game fight that he made. Mr.. Selig
acted as referee.
Misses Charlton and Selig, the directors
and organizers of the class, deserve great
credit for the excellent performance.

The tax budget despite all the etten-
ton given TO it by the commissioners
was not made up, there remaining after
the conference had been brought 10
conclusion by the enforced departure of
some of the commissioners, several mat
ters about which no decision had been
reached 1t was announced after the
meeting that the Finance Committee of
the board would meet before the boards
next regular meeting, and arrange the
final details of the budget for submission
at that time. This next meeting will be
held on the second Thursday in April.
1t is believed, however, that the budget
for this year will not greatly exceed that
for last year, If 1t exceeds it at all, The
tax budget then amounted to 500, 800 1t
is said further that it is extremely unlikely
that the commissioners will be enabled
to keep the budget down to the figure
named and at the same time keep the
appropriation to the Board of Education
up to the figure it has estimated as neces-
saTy.
The Board of Education wants 1911. 925
and from the hints that the commission
ers let fall it seems unlikely il will get
ID. The estima ties made by the Board of
Education seems likely 10 be cut down
by the commissioners $4,000 at least
Tax Collector MCGOWAN reported that
he bad recently received from Sheriff
Sweeny collections amounting to 5000
maze on pack tax II. fas. These collec-
tons represent taxes due the county from
1888 until last year, but which have never
been collected until recently. The show
ing made by the tax collector and the
sheriff in this matter is good one.
The board received from Mrs. S. Guck-
enheimer a card of thanks for the action
taken by the commissioners in honor of
her husband. The memorial resolutions
passed by the board have been engrossed
by Mr. c. S. Richmond and ordered

SHOT ANOTHER, THEN HIMSELF.
Double Crime of Dan Singleton in
Hamacraw.

A shooting affray in which one negro
shot another and then himself, probably
fatally. took place yesterday afternoon at
No. 633 Indian street
Dan Singleton and Ben Fields are the
men who were involved in the affair, Sin
gleton being the assailant.
Both the principals live in the house in
which the shooting occurred Tuesday
according to the statement of Fields, he
and Singleton became involved in quar-
rel about some trifling matter. The quar-
rel developed into a cursing match and
finally into fist fight in which Singleton
was worsted The matter was dropped
for the time being, but the same night
Fields was called to the door by Joe Sin
gleton, a brother of Dan, who, as soon
as the door was opened displaying enough
of Fields body to make a target, fired at
him with a revolver, but missed his mark.
Fields lost no time in getting to the rear
of che house, his assailant following him,
though he was caught by some Of the other
inmates and put into the street before he
had second shot at the fugitive.
Yesterday while Fields was at dinner
Dan Singleton suddenly opened the door
and fired twice at the sitting man, one
shot missing him and going into the wall
opposite, and the second striking glanc
ing blow on his breast, entering near the
breast bone and ploughing its way to and
out of the left side. Fields was not so
badly hurt that he could not make his es-
cape which he Immediately did through
the rear door. He had succeeded in get
ting out of the room when there was
third shot and Singleton fell to the floor
with a bullet in his throat fired from his
own pistol.
officer Deignan, who was called, took
both men to the barracks, where their
wounds we're attended to by City Physi-
clan Levi.
Fields was able to walk home and when
seen in the afternoon, seemed little the
worse for his wound. 1t was different
with Singleton, however. His wound is
quite serious. and may prove fatal. This
he seems to realize, for when asked if
he wanted to secure a lawyer to defend
him he replied that he didn't think that
lie would live to stand trial. He was too
weak to talk much. but said that the
wound that he received was the result of
an accident and that he had no intention
of injuTing himself after he had shot

POSTOFFICE CHANGES.
Stamp Clerk Lemeke Resigned to Go
Into Business.

Mr.. Harry B. Lemcke has resigned the
stamp clerkship in the postofice to accept
the position of Southern salesman for the
Peters Cartridge Company of Cincinnati.
He leaves for New York at once.
Mr.. Lemcke has been connected with
the Savannah post0f1ce for twelve years,
with the exception of six months, while
he was acting as postal agent in Porto
Rico, where he was sent by the govern
ment in recognition of his valuable serv-
ices.
Mr. Lemcke's long experience with ex-
plosives and projectiles and his famili-
arlty with nitro-explosives will no doubt
make him a valuable acquisition to the
company with which he is TO be connect
ed. The stamp clerkship which he resign
ed will be filled by Mr.. w. G. Cooper,
promoted from a utility clerk. Mr. Ed
win Moffett is advanced to a utility clerk
and his place is filled by Joseph E. Brown,
a new appointee.

UNFAVORABLE TO TRACKS.
Council Committee Does Not View
Bay Street Matter with Favor.

Bay street MATTER with FnNOr.
The indications are very plain that the
petitioners for a steam railroad track
on Bay street are doomed to disappoint-
ment. A meeting of the special commit
tee of Council, appointed some time ago
to take the matter under consideration,
was held yesterday afternoon. The COM
mttee consists of Mayor Myers and AL
dermen Dixon, Haas, Wells and Bacon.
The committee was in session about an
hour. including a short trip of inspection
to Williamson street. After the adjourn
ment of the committee, Mayor Myers
said that its report had not been made
up
80 far the committee does not regard
the matter with favor" said che Mayor.
The difficulty which confronts the COM
mittee is that the advantages to accrue
to the merchants on Bay street by reason
of track, are some what doubtful, while
the presence Of the tracks would unques-
tonably ruin the street"
The brief statement is sufficient ground
upon which 10 base an opinion that the
committees report viii be unfavorabe to
the merchants petition. and should this
be the case, it is hardly to be expected
that Council Will do otherwise than adopt
the report.

THEIR INsUR ANCE ADJUSTED.
Lindsay & Morgan and the Com

Lindsay Morgan and the Conn
pnnies Make "a Settlement.
A settlement has been effected between
Messrs. Lindsay & Morgan and the in
surance companies with which the firm
had placed it's stock that was destroyed
by the great fire Of some months ago.
Mr.. D. b. Morgan said yesterday that
the settlement was entirely satisfactory
10 all parties.
The policies held by the firm aggregated
$4,000 But little short of the amount
was paid over. Some time ago $i5. 900
was mentioned as the amount that would
be paid, but the rigid investigation to
which the firms books We're subjected re-
suited in the adjustens for the companies
finally agreeing that the stock destroyed
was worth more than that amount
Mr. Morgan expressed satisfaction in
the harmonious adjustment Of the losses.
He is glad that the matter did not have
to find it's way into the courts The DIFF
ferences of opinion between the firm, on
the one part. and the companies, on the
other, were due solely to varied interpre-
tation of the books of the furniture con-
Germ. When left with the expert adjust
er. who was finally sent by the COM
panies far a careful examination, his
opinion conceded with that of the firm
and it's expert accountant, and the com
Danies settled upon that basis.
Messrs Lindsay & Morgan are now do
ing business in the Whitfield building on
Whitaker street. They hold the building
until October and IT Is possible they may
remain It's occupant after that. taking the

The Tax budget for 1900 Discussed
But Not Decided UpOn-The COun-
tvs Receipts and Expenditures for
Last Year-The Budget Not Expect

School Boards Estimate Likely to
BE Cut Down.
MIR. E. A. Well was elected by the
Board of County Commissioners one of
their number yesterday afternoon, to sue
coed the late Simon Guckenheimer. The
election had been predicted and expected,
and was not the occasion of any surprise.
The commissioners did not come out of
their inner and private office during all
the long session that they held. The
election of Mr.. Well was unanimous, how
ever and his choice the result Of agree
ment of every member of the board as to
his fitness for the position. His business
training and ability will make him val
ued and valuable addition.
More than an hour was spent by the
board in the discussion of the tax budget
for the coming fiscal year. AS a basis of
calculation the commissioners had before
them Clerk John R. Dillon's statement of
the county's cash on hand and other mat
ters connected with it's financial condi-
ton. The statement showed that there
was in treasury on March l. 1913, 47O32 an
increase Of nearly $1,000 over the cash
balance on hand on March of last year.

 Tn the history of the party no better organization has ever existed. McKin- ley will carry every state which Votl q for Mckinley and Hobart four years ago and certainly seven or eight others Ghat voted for Bryan in 1896. The al legged hopes of Croker and Bryan as to carrying Indiana and New York are simply the following out of the pro gramme of claiming everything in sight for the purpose of encouraging their followers in the close states to make desperate tfforts for success.
 "TlS claims of the republicans are based upon the result of actual work reported by men in the field. brought up through precinct, ward, township, city, county and state organizations, and upon actual facts as shown by the closest vote poll ever made by any or ganiZation."
