ARRESTED VARIETY ACTRESS.
with bartender She Is Charged
With Robbery.

Joe Sweeney, bartender at the Royal
Music Hall and Minnie Hess, a variety
performer at the same vaudeville theater,
were arrested last night by Patrolman
Jernigan and Detective Wall on com
plant of Upton Robinson of No 131 Lib
erty street, west The prosecutor stated
that he had spent several dollars in the
music hall, but that the woman and bar
tender did not seem satisfied with that
which he gave up freely, and with a sim
pie turn of the wrist managed to get $40
more from him. Robinson told the officers
that he didn't mind being a good fellow,
but that he couldn't stand for any strong
game and that he would play the role of
prosecutor sooner than allow himself to
be f1eeced without even so much as a
murmur.
The officers listened patiently to the
story told by the complainant and placed
the songstress under arrest, along with
the man who serves drinks. Both stoutly
denied the charge and expressed them
selves in no unmeaning way. To them it
was the same old story of the guy who
gives up his coin, and then when he has
discovered what he has done, puts up the
shout of robbery The man and woman
were taken to police headquarters by De-
tective Wall, and bail was furnished for
their appearance in Police Court this
morning when they will be given a pre-
liminary examination by Recorder My
rick
Robinson was not satisfied with having
the man and woman arrested, and insist
ed that a case also be made out against
E. A. Massart, proprietor of the concert
hall. The prosecutor did not appear pleas
ed with the n ha. I
acted when the alleged robbery was call
ed to his attention. Robinson charges
Massart with violating the city ordinance
by keeping a disorderly house commonly
known as the Royal Music Hall" This
case will also be heard by Recorder My
rick this morning. and the hearing prom

The reversal by the Supreme Court of
the state of the decision of Judge Can
dler, in Fulton Superior Court, in the
case affecting the use of the public prop
erty fund of the state for the purpose of
paying the teachers of the schools, in
which the Supreme Court has held that
this fund cannot be applied to this pur-
pose, will have no effect in deferring the
payment of the salaries of the teachers
in the schools of this city and county
supt. Otis Ashmore said yesterday that
the Board of Education would have no
difficulty in borrowing from the banks all
the money that would be needed TO tide
it over any difficulties that might be oc-
casioned by the Supreme Courts decis-
ion. The state appropriation for public
education for Chatham county is some
thing more than $4,000 per annum, and
been paid this year. When the rest of it
will be paid seems to be a question of
considerable doubt. On this account it
will be necessary for the board to Dor
row some money, but no very large sum
will be required. While this will pre-
vent inconvenience to the teachers, It
will of course mean that the people of
Chatham county must foot the bill, rep
resented by the interest on the loan rem
dered necessary by the Supreme Courts
decision and its effect
Mr.. Ashmore, while he does not ques-
ton the legal soundness or correctness
of the Supreme Courts decision, said he
could not help regarding it as most un-
fortunate. In the interior counties of
the state, in some of which the state APP
preparation for education constitutes the
entire educational fund, it will seriously
embarrass the teachers. These receive
already very small salaries and to have
these held back for an indeterminate peri
cd will produce an exceedingly bad moral
effect

REPENTANr YOUNG RUNAWAY.
Atlanta Boy Robbed His Mother and
Came to Savannah.


Warren Kennon, a 12-year-old Atlanta
boy, is held at police headquarters sub
ject to the orders of the police of Allan
ia. The youngster admits that he robbed
his mother of $40 Thursday night, and
left for Savannah at that time. He was
found by the police wandering around the
Central depot with a bunch of street
urchins, and was taken in charge by
Mounted Sergeant Davis. AS soon as
Supt. Reilly heard the boys story he
wired the Chief of Police at Atlanta, but
had received no answer up to late hour
last night. In the meantime Kennon is
held at headquarters apparently thor
oughly repentant.
The young runaway cried himself to
sleep, and between sobs declared that if
he is sent home he will in the future be-
have. The boys father is A. X. Kennon
oil No. 200 Haines street, who is employed
by the Franklin Printing Company. Ken
non says that he had been treated well
enough at home. but he seems to have
mania for running away. According to
his story, told to represent ative of the
Morning News, this is his third offense.
He was sent to a reformatory near Gin
cinnati by his father. but managed to
make his escape from the institution
When captured he was sentenced to serve
nine months, and for that length of time
was held in the house of reformation in
the Ohio city. The experience does not
appear to have made very deep i'm
preston on the youngsters mind and
he admits that his present escapade Is
the only one that has ever caused him to
think of the future. He seemed greatly
impressed with the talk given him by
the superintendent. Young Kennon spent
last night in the big room at the police
station.

The funeral of the late Brantley A.
Denmark took place al o'clock yester-
day Afternoon, from the First Baptist
Church 1t was largely attended the
congregation filling comfortably the spa
cious auditorium of the church.
The members of the Savannah bar and
the officers of the Superior and City
courts attended the funeral in a body
as did also the members of the Board of
Education of Chatham county, of which
Mr.. Denmark was an honored and useful
member. Almost the entire membership
of the bar was in the line that moved,
shortly before the hour of the funeral,
from the Court House to the church. The
members of the bar and court officers
were formed into double line, that be-
gan at the church door and extended be-
yond the sidewalk, and between the lines
thus formed the casket was borne into
the church.

The pulpit and the organ loft in its
rear were one mass of beautiful flowers.
Rarely on any similar occasion in Savan-
nah has been seen such display. There
were two dozen and more very large
and very handsome designs, besides many
smaller ones, and masses of cut flowers.
Scarcely an inch of the woodwork of the
pulpit or organ loft could be seen for the
screen of floral loneliness which hung be-
tween it and the congregation.
The services, conducted by Rev. John
D. Jordan. were exceedingly simple. The
family had so requested, and all euogis-
tic remarks upon Mr.. Denmark's life and
character and good deeds were omitted,
at their special instance Dr. Jordan read
two selections from the scriptures and
delivered a prayer, asking the Divine
sympathy and comfort for the bereaved
ones, and the choir of the church sang
two hymns These were Lead, Kindly
Light" and Art Thou Weary"
The simple service of the Baptist
Church was concluded at the grave in
Bonaventure. A long line of carriages
followed the remains of Mr.. Denmark to
their last resting place, and those who
filled them stood reverently as DIR. Jor-
dan, with the time-honored, affecting,
soul-stirring formula, committed the re-
mains to earth The flowers were heaped
upon and around the mound, the grim
outlines of which they completely hid.
