AS a sign of the care with which
American officers pay regard to local
sentiment, attention is called to the act
of Capt. Michael, who had charge of
the recent execution of six murderers
in Manila. He chose a position where
the condemned men faced the east, and
before they dropped they had one last
look at the morning sun, which is so
dear to the Oriental.

Refused to Buy Eminent.
Thomas Leddie. a white cripple vino
gives his age as rs years, was arrested
yesterday morning and sent to the police
station by Patrolman Brazzell on a charge
of vagrancy. Any number of complaints
against the aged beggar had been lodged
at headquarters, and the officers were
notified TO take him in custody.
Leddie sold some sort of Iiniment for
a livelihood, or rather used his wares as
shield for his begging game. The man
made house to house canvass and was
persistent in his demands for money. On
more IMAM one occasion when he was re-
rused aid, he cursed the female who had
oeen unfortunate enough to have answer

ONLY PETTY ROBBERIEs.
Police Say They Are Doing the best
That They Can.

Police Say They Are Doing the Best
That They Can.
The green grocery of ]. C. Morgan &
Co, at Bull and Brady streets was bur-
glarized Sunday night and several dollars
We're taken from the money drawer. The
thief got in by jumping a high fence in
the rear of the store and breaking open
the back door with an ak which he found
in the wood yard. He did his work with
out any fear of interference from the
streets, the fence being high enough to
cut out all outside view
Mr.. Morgan lives with his family over
the store and was at home when the
robbery was committed. The matter was
reported at police headquarters and the
city detectives visited the place. They
were unable to find the slightest clue to
the identity of the robber and because
nothing but money was taken they have
little hope of finding him.
The police are not discouraged because
OF the several robberies committed in the
last week or so. They call attention to
the fact that while neighboring cities re-
port big hauls, the robberies In Savan-
nah are OF petty nature They say that
with a large colored population it is TO
be expected that there will be robberies
OF the character apparently now epidemic
Such robberies have been going on for
years, they declare, and the only solu-
ton of the problem would be to station a
patrolman at every street corner. The
city detectives are using every effort to
capture the thieves and We asrdav morn
ing they arrested negro who they say
is certainly guilty of two of the recent
robberies.
Part of the thieving they say is undoubt-
edly done by small boys whom they ex-
pect to get. They say, however. that time
and again they have had the juveniles
under arrest for burgarizing business
houses and dwellings and without excep-
ton they have managed to escape pun
ishment because of their tender wears
The police contend that il these Youthful
criminals are not to be punished as fell
ons they should at least be placed in an
institution where they can do no harm.
In the meantime the patrolmen and de-
tectives are making every effort to at
least reduce the number of robberies.
The New Book Store. near York and
whitaker streets, was entered night be-
lore ias' ard robbed of lot of stamps
and few things of trifling value. Some
Sl4 in the cash drawer was overlooked
though 1t was apparent when the store
was opened for business yesterday morn
ing that rather thorough search for
valuables had been made.
Entrance into the store was effected bv
means of the transom. which was knock
ed out After securing entrance, the bur-
slar, apparently, lighted the gas, which
he blew out upon deciding he would give
up the search for booty. The gas was
turned on in full force when the store was
opened, and the door opened from the
inside, had been left ajar.
