BURGLAR ADMITTED GUILT.
Robbed n Shoe store, but stolen
Property Was Recovered.

John Brown, colored, was arrested yes
terday by Detective Murphy and is held
at the police station on a charge of bur-
glary. The police say the negro entered
and robbed a Broughton street shoe
store one night last week, and got away
with nine pairs of shoes. One pair was
recovered by Detective Murphy yesterday
morning, and was traced to Brown, who
is an old offender.
When arrested the negro stoutly protest.
ed his innocence and put up the old cry
of persecution because of his actions in
days gone by. The officers would not
stand for this sort of talk, and after a
great deal of investigating, in which some
sharp tricks were played, the locality in
which Brown lives was discovered.
The detectives searched the house and
were rewarded in their efforts by re-
covering all of the stolen fcotware. When
the discovery was made the negro ad-
mitted his guilt and will be given a pre-
limnary examination by Recorder My
rick in Police Court this morning.

For the last two weeks the builders of
the four apartment houses at Lincoln.
Taylor and Wayne streets have been an
noyed by negro bricklayers who quit
work because the foreman is a non-union
man. Yesterday Capt. ]. C. Posten and
Mr. W. II. Allen, she owners of the prop
erty, called on Superintendent of Police
Reilly to have some six or seven of the
strikers arrested. 1t was charged that
the men persisted in hanging around the
buildings and threatening those who re-
manned at work.
The names of half dozen of the negroes
were furnished the police and the first of
the men was arrested during the after
noon. The foreman telephoned to head
quarters that a striker had made his ap-
pearance and Detective Murphy hurried
to the buildings and arrested a negro
named George Brown. The man was sent
to the police station where a charge of
disorderly conduct and melting riot was
that Brown with others had been -four
flushing" around the buildings for several
days and remarked yesterday morning
that the men at work could quit within
twenty-four hours or there would be some
trouble.
The builders pay union rates and work
union hours, and the only reason for the
strike was that the foreman is not a
member of the Bricklayers' Union The
union men employed demand that the
foreman be discharged and that one of
their number be put in his place. This the
builders refused to do, and the men went
out on a strike. Non-union men were Sc
cured and the work went on.
According to the builders the strikers
saw thdt they were gaining nothing by
their action and then 1t was that they
began their bulhdozing methods. They re-
NAMED in the neighborhood, and with ar
guments and threats tried from day to
day to force the non-union men to quit
work. Telephone messages were sent to
police headquarters, but the men would
get out of the way before the arrival of
an officer.
Last week the front of the buildings
was smeared with soft tar and a reward
of 500 was offered for the arrest and con-
victioh of the guilty parties. The work
was credited to the strikers, and the build
ers determined If possible to keep them
out OF the neighborhood. The police have
the names of the men who il is alleged
have been responsible for the uncertain
condition of affairs around the buildings,
and it is probable that several more ar
rests will be made to-day.

LITTLE IN THE COURTS.

by Trials of Next Month.

50 w bC A"ay
by Trials of Next Month.
The Savannah courts are the dullest
places in Savannah this week and seem
to promise to continue in this state of
innocuous desuetude for the rest of the
week. The City Court is theoretically in
session practically all of the time, but
the United States Courts have been ad-
journed for months, and the Superior
Court adjourned for the March term last
Friday.
In none of the courts is anything of partic-
ular interest happening and this state of
affairs is likely to be kept up until next
Monday. Then the Superior Court will
convene for the June term and the grand
jury Will at once get to work. There are
a number of important criminal cases, in
Guiding several murder cases, for the
grand jury to investigate, and these will
PROBABLY be taken up at the first session.
The criminal cases, in the event that
true bills are returned against the defend
ants by the grand jury, will be assigned
for trial during the early part of June,
probably beginning with the important
cases the second week of the month

JUMPED THEIR BOND.
South Carolina Negroes Arrested by
Savannah Detective

Louise and Henry Mccoy, colored, were
arrested yesterday at Beileville. a station
on the Seaboard Air Line about 81 miles
from Savannah, and are held at the police
station for the South Carolina authorities.
The officer had to drive "a miles through
the country to find the man, who was
employed on a turpentine farm, The ne
groes are wanted at Grahamville on a
charge of assault with intent to murder.
1t appears that they cut a woman and
that ID. II. Wall furnished bail for their
appearance in court.
The negroes jumped out on the following
day and the authorities in Georgia and
South Carolina have been trying to locate
them for several weeks. The negroes
we're surprised when placed under arrest
by the Savannah officers. but made no
objections to returning TO Grahamville
with a stop-over in this city.

AFFLICTED IN PRISON.
Woman Under Arrest While Her
Mother Is a Corpse. -t


With her baby just laid in its grave and
her mother a corpse on the Eastside, Belle
Williams, colored, was placed in a cell
at the police station yesterday morning,
on charge of having violated rule of
the sanitary department. The woman
was arrested at her home on Coats street,
near the Baseball Park, by Sanitary In
spector Mcdonald. Pink Murray her SIS
Ter, was arrested at the same time and
they were confined in the same cell, on
a charge of having removed a body from
the city without "a permit.
Last Wednesday Rebecca Williams, less
than 2 years old. found a box of potash.
where 1t had been carelessly left on the
kitchen table. The mother was not
around and the child had been crying for
something to eat for some little while.
The infant did not know what the box
contained and began devouring the con-
tents. The first mouthful was sufficient
to throw her into spasms and her screams
were heard blocks away.
The Williams woman rushed into the
room to find her baby in untold agony She
was picked up and taken to a physician, but
il was seen at once that the solution used
for washing purposes had literally burned
the child's throat away. After several
hours of suffering death relieved her from
further pain. The family burying ground
is at Deptford plantation, and the Will
Jams woman and her sister moved the
body there for burial. They were ignor-
ant of the law which requires them to get
a permit from the health officer before
the remains were inferred. and the child
was buried without the case having even
been reported to the police or Coroner
Keller When the truth became known
yesterday the arrest of the two women
was made.
Only a few hours before the incarcera-
ton of the woman their mother. Amelia
Murray, died suddenly at her home. No.
Cpl President street, east. She was 70
years of age. Monday night she ate
some beefsteak, and a plate OF hominy.
At o'clock yesterday morning she was
attacked with acute indigestion and died
before a physician could be summoned.
This death was reported to Coroner Kei-
Ter. who made an investigation. After
learning the facts the coroner decided that
an inquest was unnecessary.
Amelia was a native of South Caro-
lima and was typical "before-the-war'
negro woman. A permit was granted for
the removal OF her body "over home"
and she will be buried in her native soil
In the meantime her daughters are held
at the police station for not obeYing an
ordinance OF which they were ignorant.
They will be given hearing by Recorder
Myrick in Police Court this morning, and
under the circumstances as related will
probably be dismissed with an admoni-
ton to be careful in the future.

The pupils of the Savannah Conserva-
monthly concerts at the Conservatory
Hall last night. Not only was it the

The programme as a whole, was
most excellent one, each performer play
ing most artistically and each receiving
her need of applause from the audience,
though, because of the rule of the Con-
servatory, no recall pieces were given in
response. Miss Freeman, a teacher in the
Conservatory, played especially well.
AT the close of the concert Prof. Mehr-
tens received many congratulations on
the excellent work of his pupils, and re-
grets that the concerts would be discon-
tnued during the summer months.

SENT THEM FIGURES
ALDERMEN FURNISHED STATE
MEMS ABOUT PAYMENTS.
CASTOR STREET ORDINANCE.
WILL DE UP AGAIN BEFORE THE
CITY COUNCIL TONIGHT.

Mr.. w. Fl. Wade Sent the Aldermen
Extracts From Mayors Reports,
Showing Comparative Cost of
Maintaining and Cleaning Shell,
Brick and Asphalt Pavements.
Mayors Message VIII Give the
Reason for Having Vetoed the Or
dinance to Pave the Street with
SheII-UnanimOus Vote for Paving
Looked for-Other Matters Before
Council.
The fight against brick or asphalt paw
ing on CASTOR street has not been given
up by those who are opposed to it. They
still hope that the City Council will see
fit to reconsider its action and that the
paving ordinance will not be passed to-
night over the veto of the Mayor. There
is slight hope for them, however, as the
indications are now that the aldermen
will be unit in favor of the ordinance
Not a vote against it is looked for by
those who are on the inside and who
have pretty fair idea as to just how
the aldermen will vote.
When the ordinance was passed the vote
stood nine to three. The Mayor Alder
man Thomas and Alderman CAVITY voted
against the measure. All the other al
dermen, save Alderman Jones, who was
not present, voted for the ordinance. AL
derman Thomas is not in the city, Alder
man Canty is reported to have voted
against the ordinance under a misappre-
hension and Alderman Jones is for it.
Therefore, ii would seem that there will
be eleven aldermanic votes against the
Mayor tonight, provided all the alder
men are present at the meeting.
Yesterday morning Mr.. W. II. Wade
who has been particularly active in the
matter of protests against any other
than shell pavement, sent out to each of
the aldermen a letter that set forth the
comparative cost of repairig and cleaning
asphalt, brick and shell pavements, as
gathered from Mayors reports. He did
this in the hope that the figures might be
brought to the eyes of the aldermen in a
way that would convince them of the
force of the objections to any other than
a shell pavement being laid on CASTOR
street. The following was the showing
made by Mr.. Wade:
