ARRESTED SH0PLIFTER.
Detectives Say Woman Operated Ex-
tensiveIy in Clever Way.

Rebecca Davis. alias Mamie White,
alias Comesy, a negro woman, said by
the detectives to be a shoplifter of abil-
ity, is held at the police station house
on several charges of larceny. The
woman was arrested Monday by De-
tective Wall. and will be given a pre-
liminary examination by Recorder
Myrick in Police Court this morning.
Property taken from the stores of
Leopold Adler and Foye & Eckstein,
has been identified, and yesterday the
woman confessed to Detective Wall
that she had committed a theft in Ad-
ler's. In the neighborhood of $50 worth
of. stolen goods has been recovered by
Detectives Murphy and Wall. and the
officers believe that the woman has
cpera, ed rather extensively in the
stores on Broughton street. Detective
Wall says that he can place at least
three char ees at her door.
According to the detective. the wo-
man operated in a shrewd way, and
was never suspected by the proprie-
tor of the places she visited until they
were told by Wall that the woman had
been placed under arrest. Her game
was to make a purchase on the install
ment plan, and to pay 25 or so cents
at time on the article. Usually the
woman would purchase a dress or a
pair of trousers, and whenever she
visited store for the purpose Of max
ing a payment, she left with some
article of value. The officers say that
most of her work was done on the
upper stories. She did not use the
elevator in going to the ground floor,
and usually took some article near the
head of the steps on the second floor.
If the woman had any confederate the
detectives do not know it, and no other
arrests have been made.

Grand total

The enrolment in the High School
shows an increase of IA over that for
the opening day of the last session,
and it is expected that this increase
will be added to in the course of the
next few days.
Every teacher of every school in the
city was in place yesterday. and de-
spite the difficulties under which they
labored, on account of the change in
school districts, everything proceeded
with comparative smoothness. Some
friction and misunderstanding there
was, but 1t was insignificant in com>
parison with the number of children
handled.
The superintendent requests the pa
rents of those children refused admis,
sion yesterday to send them again to
the schools of their districts to-day.
He has issued additional instructions
to the principals and teachers, and
does not apprehend any further mis-
understanding of the situation on their
part. In case, however, the matter al
issue cannot be arranged between
the parents and the principals OF the
several schools. he requests that it be
submitted to him.

PUPILS. TROOP IN
PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF THE CITY BE-
GAN THEIR FALL TERM.
ATTENDANCE is INCREASED
IN WHITE AND COLoRED SCHOOLS
THE ENROLMENT is 5,766.

This II. an Increase of 213 in the
White schools and of Four in the
CoIored-Many Others viii BE Adj
mftted Within the Next Few Days.
Changes in school Districts Caused
Some Misunderstanding and Some
Confusion-The Confusion VIII Be
Removed, and Those on Waiting
Lists Then Issued Cards of Admis-
sion-The Enrolment in Each
school.
With total attendance of 5,766, the
public schools of Savannah, yesterday
morning, were opened for the fall term.
The enrolment exceeds that of the
opening day last year by 217. There
is an increase of 213 in the white schools
and of four in the colored schools.
This increase does not represent the
total increase in attendance at the
schools, as within the next few days
those now on the waiting list will be
issued cards of admission. Supt. Ash
more said yesterday that he saw his
way clearly to the admission of all the
waiting ones to the schools. and as soon
as he could mature his plans the cards
would be issued.
The question Of admission has been
further complicated by the failure Of
some of the children, and their par
ents TO understand the changes in the
school districts, and the resulting fact
that some children would have to at
tend other schools than those they
attended last year. Yesterday they
applied for admission to the wrong
schools, and when they were refused.
instead of going to the schools they
should attend, simply threw up their
hands in despairing resignation and
wandered home.
To use Mr.. Ashmore's expression,
many of those children are still lin
the woods" and he wants to rescue
them from their wanderings and give
them the seats to which their attend
ance in the schools last year entities
them before the cards of admission to
newcomers are issued. He expects TO
get the Grant pupils in their proper
places to-day, and then those on the
waiting lists will receive immediate
attention.
The enrolment in the several schools
of the city on yesterday was as fol-
lows:
