LOOKS LIKE 1T is DEAD.
Seems That the Garfunl<eI Movement
Has Lost Itself.

rms LOST Itselt.
The Garfunkel movement seems to
have struck some snag in the current
of political power that was to have de-
posed Superintendent of Police Owen
f. Reilly and substituted Charles Gar
funkel. 1t was said that the Mayor
would be approached Immediately upon
his return from the North by those
who want Mr.. Garfunkel given the po-
sition now held by the superin-
tendent, but it seems that the move
ment was largely talk.
When 1t came to the scratch, no one
seemed to have the requisite nerve to
brace the Mayor with any such propo-
sition. No request that he be asked to
demand the resignation of the superin-
tendent has reached Mayor Myers, that
gentleman said yesterday, and he does
not believe that he will be approached
upon the matter.
Supt. Reilly sits steady in the boat.
He has not been alarmed by the re-
port of the effort to GUST him in order
that place may be made for Garfun-
KEEL. He certainly will not resign, he
says, and the general expression is in
strong support of him and in decided
opposition TO his being removed from
office for no other than a political pur-
pose.

THE RAID AT INDIAN SPRING.
savannah Sports Greatly Interested
10y the Account of II.


The Savannah sporting fraternity or
that portion of it that has withstood
the "slings and arrows of an adverse
fortune" as exemplified in the rigid
prosecution brought by the Good Gov
eminent League, was interested in the
report that appeared in the Morning
News yesterday of the summary man
ner in which a poker party was inter-
rupted and fined at the Wigwam, the
leading hotel at Indian Spring.
Graphically the dispatch told of the
dramatic entrance of the deputy
sheriff. revolver in hand, his cautioning
the participants in the game that they
were his prisoners, his telling them
that they were at liberty to continue
their game until the arrival of the
judge and solicitor and the judges i'm
position of fines amounting to $1,000.
1t was said that sports from Atlanta,
Macon and Savannah were in the game.
Inquiries among the fraternity failed
to develop that any Savannahians
were in the party. 1t was stated that
Mcbride of Savannah was in the
room, but had made good his conten-
ton that he had taken no part in the
game.
John Mcbride was asked about this.
He said that he could not understand
it. Tom Mcbride, his brother, was in
Atlanta, he said, and a letter just re-
ceived from him had made no mention
of the interrupted poker party at In
dian Spring. John Mcbride said he
fancied that some one had given the
name of Mcbride as bluff, not desir-
ing to have his own figure in the court
proceedings.
The verdict of the Savannah sports
was that the proceeding was strictly
irregular. and they thought 1t would
not hold if a contest We're made. Some
of the Savannah sports have been up
against it so hard and so frequently
that their knowledge of the fine points
Of the law, as it pertains to gambling,
has become expert. They do not think

CHARGES AGAINST KINSEY.
Engineer Flag Thinks He Has Been
Badly Treated by Him.

The Water Committee of the City
Council will probably meet to-day to
investigate charge made by Engineer
]. P. Figg against Supt. 1. U. Kinsey
of the water department and to con-
slider what course to take in the case
of Engineer Figg, who was absent from
his post last Sunday night without per-
mission. 1t was out of his absence at
that time that the trouble between the
engineer and the superintendent grew.
Figg absented himself without per-
mission. He was called on by the SUI
perintendent to render a written ex-
cuse for his absence. This the engi-
neer refused to do, saying that it was
not demanded in other cases. and that
he did not see why he should have to
tell in writing why he was not at his
post.
The superintendent told him he would
have to submit the written excuse,
nevertheless. whereupon the engineer
said that Engineer Mallett ran the
water department.. anyway. The SUI
perintendent did not think very well
of this observation, and it is declared
by Figg that language was used that
he did not care to stand. The engineer
said the superintendent called him a
d liar"
MIR. Figg went to see Alderman Ba-
con, chairman of the Water Committee.
Mr.. Bacon suspended him for being alb
sent from his post without leave. The
engineer began to expostulate about
the language that the superintendent
had used toward him, whereupon the
chairman told him that If he had any
charge against the superintendent to
rNrafar ~ In writing and III would he
investigated.
Supt Kinsey was seen about the
trouble between Figg and himself but
would not talk about IL at all. With
an abruptness that seemed to indicate
that he was not well pleased with the
affair. he declared that he had nothing
to say. The engineer called on the
Mayor yesterday about the matter, but
was referred TO the Water Committee.

MANY BANKERS MAY COME.
Movement TO Bring Those of Four
states to Savannah.

states to savannah.
The bankers of Georgia, South Caro-
lima, North Carolina and Virginia will
all probably meet in Savannah next
summer. The Savannah Clearing Asso-
citation has, by unanimous action, re-
quested the Executive Committee of
the Georgia Bankers Association to
call the meeting of that body for next
summer in this city. Mr.. H. A. Crane,
vice president of the Southern Bank,
is chairman of the Executive Commit
tee, a meeting of which will be "eld
in Savannah soon for the considera
ton of the invitation from tie Gear
ing Association.
Each of the associations of the other
states has advised that it would he
glad to combine with The Others for a
general meeting at Savannah. Presi-
dent Mills b. Lane of the Clearing
Association and of the Citizens Bank,
said yesterday that consolidated
meeting of the four associations would
mean a gathering of some 1000 bank
erS at Savannah. Mr.. Lane thinks
there is no doubt that the Executive
Committee of the Georgia Association
will act favorably upon the invitation
from Savannah, and that this place
will be selected for the meeting.
Some weeks ago the annual meeting
of the Georgia Association was held
at Old Point Comfort, Va, and was
largely attended. The time and place
of the next meeting was, as is the GUS
tom, left to the Executive Committee.
1t is thought that the suggestion from
the other states for a joint meeting
will be welcomed with delight by Geor-
gia bankers, as such an immense gath
ering would mean the attendance of
the most eminent financiers through
out the country, as men of that stamp

STRIKE PETERING OUT
POLICE HELD IN RESERVE AS A
PROBATION.
STRIKERS BANK ON BOYCOTT.
BUT RAILWAY OFFICIALS SAY
THEY DON'T FEAR 1T.

Railway officials Say Because
Many of the Men Have Been Over
worked and Need Rest-Cases
Against the Strikers in Police
Court Continued by the Mayor.
The street railway strike situation
was unchanged yesterday and both the
railway officials and the union people
stated that they were satisfied. The
police reserve is still held, the nom
union men are still armed and the
travel continues light. The strikers
say that by the boycott that has been
inaugurated the company will lose
much money, and that in this way they
hope to win out.
Fewer cars were run yesterday than
usual. The railway officials say that
this was not because of the light travel
or of the reported fact that more men
had gone out, but because many of
those who had been employed on the
cars had been running over time and
were badly in need of rest. Some of
them were forced to go to bed and the
working force was somewhat reduced.
The strikers say that they under
stand that all of the men at work are
not to be paid dollar day extra, and
that as soon as that discovery is made
Saturday by the men themselves, they
will step out. The union men were, as
far as is known, orderly and no trou-
BILE was reported at police headquar-
tiers, where the large force of men is
still held. The strikers gathered in
groups of four and five and discussed
the situation. Some of them have al
ready made an effort to secure other
employment and two filed applications
for positions on the police force.
The case against the several strikers
placed under arrest were continued in
definitely by Mayor Myers in Police
Court yesterday. This was done after
consultation between counsel for the
defendant and the attorney for the
railway company. Conductor w. ].
Mcmillan, who was charged with in
sulting lady passenger on a Barnard
street car, was dismissed. The charges
against the conductor were withdrawn
and the prosecutriX did not appear in
court.

ten by a hog on the White Bluff road
yesterday and is at the Georgia In
Urinary in a serious condition. The

with sticks.
Moses says that his hogs got out of

them back. One of the drove would
not go back and the negro struck him

hand and then on the side. The wound
ed man was taken to the infrmary in
