Detective Murphy Has Prisoner
Strongly Suspected of Arson.

Isaac Houston, a negro IS years Of age,
is held at the police station by City De-
tective j. J. Murphy as a suspicious char
acter. Houston is suspected of attempt
ing TO burn the barn and outhouses of
]. p. Brown, on Thirty-eighth street, east
of the Waters road late Saturday night,
and the officers say that they have strong
circumstantial evidence against their pris-
oner. The fire was discovered in its in
cipiency by man and woman and was
extinguished before it could make much
Roadway. 1t is stated at police headquar-
ters that Houston was seen coming from
the direction of the barn just before the
fire was discovered
Houston was employed on Browns place
and was discharged Saturday afternoon.
Detective Murphy says he has witnesses
who will swear that at that time the ne
gro said that he would get even" with
Brown for his dismissal. While such in
formation would not be admitted as evil
dence the police say that two other per-
sons for whom Houston previously worked
were burned out by some one, after he had
been discharged. The negro denies the
charge of arson and says that he made
no threats 10 get even with any one.
He will probably be given a preliminary
hearing by Recorder Myrick in Police
Court this morning

FIGURES WE'RE RAISED.
Furniture Dealers Charge a Custom
err with Trying to Beat Them.

CT WIN Trying 10 BeAt Them.
Julia Butler, colored, is held at the DO
lice station house by City Detective J.
J. Murphy on a charge of raising re-
ceipts bearing the signature of Jones &
helmly and will be given a preliminary
examination by Recorder Myrick this
morning in Police Court
The woman had purchased some fur
niture on the installment plan, and Sat
urday night carried her receipts, for the
amounts already paid, to the store to
find out what the balance due amounted
to- An examination of the receipts and
the firms books showed that the former
had been tempered with, and that ma
jor portion of the receipts had been al
tered, making it appear that a much
larger amount had been paid in than had
really been the case.
Detective Murphy was summoned to
the store at 122 State street, west, and
placed the woman under arrest She de.
MED all knowledge of the crime, and de-
clared that she had not even noticed the
alterations. The prisoner is of the opin-
ion, so she says, that some one living in
the same house with her changed the
figures "for the fun of it," The Butler
woman does not appear to be burdened
with intelligence, and there is a doubt
of her having altered the receipts.

WILL ELECT OFFICERS.
Annual Meeting of Daughters of the
COnfederacy.


The annual meeting of the Savannah
Chapter of Daughters of the Confederacy
will be held at Confederate Hall this af-
ternoon. The annual meeting is the most
important and usually the most interest
ing OF the year and it is probable it will
induce the attendance of a large proper
ton of the loyal Southern women who
make up the membership of the chapter
Besides the election of officers for the
ensuing year, the chapter viii have a
number of reports of officers and commit
tees to receive and consider Among the
latter will be the report of the commit
tee which had charge of the financial part
of the New Years ball given by the chap
Ger, which was such pronounced suoL
cess. The bail was a financial as well as
a social success and the report of the
committee will show that considerable
sum is to be added to the chapters fund
for the prosecution of the patriotic work
in which it is engaged
In the matter of the election of officers
there remains some doubt. Mrs. Marga-
ret Branch Sexton, the present president
who has served the chapter in that ca
pacity for the past three or four years is
known to have announced that she will
not again be able to assume the cares and
responsibilities of the office. Mrs. Sexton
is not in Savannah and it Is not known
whether or not the members of the chan
ter viii consent TO her retirement or elect
her In spite of herself. The election of
other officers will depend in large part
upon that for president.

WANT ADMINISTRATION MAN.
Reported United Club Is After Re-
firing Alderman for President.


The new political club organized last
Friday night and known at present as
THE United Club" is said to be fgur-
ing on a member of the retiring alder
manic board as its leader, although the
alderman has not yet been approached by
any of the club committee named to Sc
lect permanent officers. The gentleman,
whom the members of the club are said
to have in mind, has been a faithful sup
porter of the present administration and
is generally considered a strong man. 1t
is not known positively that he would &C
cept the presidency of the new organiza-
ton if it were rendered him, although as
far as is known he has not expressed
himself on the subject in any manner.
The club will hold its second meeting
one night this week, at which time the
Committee on Permanent Organization
will make its report.
A member of the new faction, for that
is what it promises to be, said yester-
day that already applications for mem
bership are coming in and he expects to
see a fIourishing political organization III
a remark IA bly, short space of time. Ihe
politician stated that when the time ar
rives for an election for senator and rep
resentatives, the club would be in splendid
shape aud would be the party" in Chat
ham. 1t would have TO elect its candI-
dates fol these offices in order to do ony-
thing with the city offices two years
hence. in the event of a victory at mat
time the resi- would be easy sailing, say
the politicians. The law could ana
would be changed, making the
incoming board elect city Of
ficers and the new board of aldermen
would have nothing to give away IN the
office line. With the passage OF such
law, it is said that many OF those now
employed by the administration would
rush for the band wagon without fear oil
losing their positions and thus assure
the new party a victory in the municipal
contest in 1908. A sympathizer with the
new faction states that there were al
ready persons working for the city VINO
no doubt get in on the ground hoor, out
for the fact that they are afraid of jeop-
ardizing their places.
The friends of Superintendent of Police
Thomas Screven say that they are not
at all worried about the prospect of their
candidate in the coming contest for ordl-
nary They are of the opinion that the
new political body will not have strength
enough to do Maj. Screven any harm at
this time, no matter how bright the fu-
ture may seem for a Good Government
club They do not think that the new party
can muster enough strength at this stage
of the game to do much damage in the
coming fight.
supporter of the administration, in
speaking of the United Club, said that he
believed, with the proper handling and
care, it will be a winner after the or
dinary's fight. The administration man
is of the opinion that the people will want
change two years from now and that
they will have it. To him the time APP
pears to be ripe for the formation of a
new party.

HARMSWORTH WILL BE HERE.

don Editor and Party.

don Editor and Party.
Mr.. Alfred Harmsworth, editor and
proprietor of the London Daily Mail, will
be in Savannah within the next few days
He may only so through, as he is to visit
Charleston, but it is believed he will stop
over in this city. The Duke of New
castle and his brother, Lord Francis
Hope are members of the Harmsworth
party, and it is quite probable that they
will persuade Mr.. Harmsworth to visit
Savannah.
Last winter the Duke of Newcastle and
Lord Francis Hope were in Savannah
this city being in their itinerary. Several
days were spent here, and the noblemen
seemed well Pleased with all they saw
One of their pleasures was picture-tak-
ing, and they attracted considerable at
tention with their cameras. Doubtless
Mr.. Harms worth has been shown some
of their pictures of Savannah, and his
interest may have been aroused.
Mr.. Harmsworth and his party are now
in Florida, where they have been for
some days. They were at st. Augustine
for while, and it is understood they are
now on the West coast for try at the
tarpon.
1t will be readily recalled that Mr.
Harmsworth recently published one issue
of the New York World showing in it
his idea of what twentieth century
newspaper should be.
