parents.
The church had ben decorated with
bamboo and the tree rested in fine
chaneel obscuring the motto Peace on
Earth Good VIII Towards Men" The
chancel presented pretty picture and
the tree was shown to much advan-

WANT THE SUB-TREASURY.
Savannah Clearing Association Will
Work to Get 1t.

The Savannah Clearing Association
declared for a sub-treasury at its meet
ing yesterday, and a resolution was
adopted, pledging the association to
employ every means possible to further
the movement to secure it for Savan-
nah.
The first thing will be to obtain the
cooperation of the Savannah Cotton
Exchange, the Board of Trade, the
City Council and the Georgia Bankers
Association. 1t was decided that it
should be the particular work of the
Clearing Association, first of all, to get
those bodies to indorse the bill that
is being pushed in Congress by Senator
Clay and Congressman Lester.
From Congressman Lester the Clear
ing Association will ascertain the date
on which the bill will be considered
by the committee to which it has been
referred. When this information has
been secured, a committee will be
named, with representatives from the
several bodies that may cooperate,
which will go to Washington to APP
pear before the committee.
Two years ago the Georgia Bank
ers' Association declared for a sub
treasury at Savannah. A meeting of
the executive council of that associa-
tion will be held to indorse the meas
ure again.

CONFERRED WITH ROOSEVELT
So the story of Savannah Man
and the Colhectorship Goes.

A story was in circulation yester-
day that Col. T. S. Wylly, Jr., had
been promised the appointment as col
lector of the port of Savannah upon
the expiration of the term of the pres
emit incumbent in March. With
detail and much insistence up
on its truth the story was
related, to find its way finally to Col.
Wylly, who promptly denied it. say
ing that he did not know he had. been
slated for the position.
The story goes that Maj. ]. F. Han
son of Macon, who has been put down
as the Presidents adviser in Geor-
gia, and Col. A. r. Lawton of Savan-
nah We're in Washington on behalf of
Col. Wylly, and secured an audience
with the President. Their mission was
to let President Roosevelt know Col.
WHY'S abilities for collector.
The President listened to the
delegation, who told him the people of
Savannah would be glad to have Col.
WILLY given the appointment. Finally
he asked his visitors what they
had against Collector Deveaux
They replied that they could say moth
ing against him, except that he was a
cOlOfeQ man. Inc PRESIDENT asked them
if the present collector had not admin
istered the duties of the Office prop
erly, to which a reply in the affirma-
tive was given.
The story went that the President
remarked he did not feel he
could replace Col. Deveaux because
of his color. The delegation then
asked if he would not see the gentle
man they supported. The Pres
ident readily acquiesced, and
Col. WILLY, accompanied by Gen.
Leonard Wood, appeared. Gen. Wood
introduced him to the President, Col.
Wylly and Gen. Wood having known
each other in Cuba, when Gen. Wood
was governor of Santiago province and
Col. Wylly was stationed in one CT the
towns with the Third Regiment. -
1t developed, the story ran, that
the President recalled having met Col.
WILLY ON a former occasion, and the
conference became a pleasant chat
upon war topics. Later there was a
reversion to business, and the story
has it that it was virtually agreed
that Col. Wylly should be Col. De-
veaux's successor.
The circulation given the story left
the impression in many minds that it
was true It's circumstantial detail
gave ground for this belief, and the
friends of Col. Wylly, who had heard
the story and hoped that it might be
true, will be disappointed to learn that
he denies it,

MORE DOUBLE TRACK.
Railway improvements on Thunder
bolt Bluff.

The Savannah. Thunderbolt and
Isle of Hope Railway Company. which
is about to become a part of the Sa-
vannah Electric Company, is negotiat-
ing for an additional right of way
along the bluff of Thunderbolt for the
purpose of double tracking the line
from the switch, near the Yacht Club
to the Casino.
Very nearly ali of the Thunderbolt
line is double-tracked now and only In
a few places is there a single track.
The purpose of the company is to Sc
cure additional land at Thunderbolt,
and put down another track on the
bluff. At present there is a single
track from the Yacht Club to the Cas-
inc.
President Baldwin said yesterday
that the work of double tracking will
be among the first Improvements IN
dertaken by the new company. The
laying of another track along the
Thunderbolt bluff, he said, will not in
any way interfere with the driveway.
Only in one place will it be necessary
to move the present track further in
The railway company will, in addition
to improving its own line, protect the
DUN from being further washed into
by the tide so that the double track.
besides affording facilities for better
schedules and increased travel, will in
reality be an advantage to the prop
erty owners.
Most of the land needed for the ad-
ditional, track has already been offered
to the railway company. The purchase
will probably be made without a hitch
and the company will have the addi-
tional track put down in time for the
heavy travel during the spring and
summer.
The curve in front of the Bannon
House, cutting over to the Industrial
College and going to Isle of Hope by
way of Sand Fly Station is to be aban-
doned. The plan Is to extend the line
from the Casino and run from chat
point to the college, and on to Isle of
Hope. The present route in front of the
Bannon House IS not considered a
good one. The new company will prob
ably take charge between Jan. 10 and
Is, but not later than the latter date
The company will put in effect
a new policy in the management of the
Casino which will be thrown open. to
the public irrespective of patrons of
the street railway.

BOTH HAVE IMPROVED.
Knvanaugh and Deegan Resting
Quietly at st. Joseph's Hospital.

Kavanaugh and Deegan Resting
Quietly at st. Joseph's Hospital.
There were no new developments
yesterday in the shooting of Jack
Deegan and William r. Kavanaugh
by w. G. Dortic, bartender for Charles
H. Levan. Both men were resting
quietly at St. Josephs Hospital at an
early hour this morning. and have a
fighting chance for recovery. Their
condition is considered encouraging.
Dortie is still a prisoner at the po-
lice station, where he is being held to
await the result of the injuries of
Kavanaugh and Deegan. He contin-
ues TO assert. that he was forced to
use his revolver, and stated yesterday
that he regrets what happened but
that it was forced upon him. He
asked frequently during the day about
the condition of the wounded men, and
expressed hope that they will both
recover.
A number of people visited Dortic
during the day, and he talked freely
to them about the shooting. Many in.
quiries were also made at the Hospital
as to the condition of the wounded
men. Dortic's relatives in Augusta
knew nothing of the trouble until they
read it in the papers yesterday. His
father and brother left Immediately
for Savannah and saw him at the sta
ton house last night. They will prob
ably remain here until after an inves-
tigation of the shooting has been
made.
Friends of Kavanaugh say that he
was not part of the crowd in the bar
when the shooting took place, but was
merely passing from the restaurant,
in the rear, to the street, when he was
so unfortunate as to be hit by the stray
bullet intended for Deegan.

D0WNEY HELD TO BE INSANE.
Lunacy Jury Recommended He BE
Sent to Sanitarium.

Sent to Sanitarium.
Robert F. Downey was found to be
mentally unbalanced, and will be sent
tosthe State Sanitarium at Milledge-
Vile.
Downey had made a demand for a
trial by a jury of twelve men and this
was allowed. Under the new law, in
the absence of such demand, a lunacy
jury consists of the county physician
and five other men. OF the twelve men
who investigated 9Downey's mental
condition three were physicians.
Downey's wife and son appeared as
witnesses against him and the man
was subjected to a searching exami-
nation by the doctors. AS a result they
were satisfied that he is not only men
tally unbalanced, but that his mania
is homicidal and that he is dangerous
man to be allowed at liberty.
Downey protested vigorously that
there was nothing the matter with
him, but the only effect of the speech
he made was to convince the jurors
more and more strongly that he was
not in his right mind.
A few weeks ago the man sat in a
second-story window of his home in
the southern section of the city and
threatened to kill everybody who APP
preached. 1t was only by a ruse that
he was finally captured and disarmed
He had previously driven his wife and
the members of his family out of the
house and they were sick with appre-
hension and fear. These facts, among
others indicating his mental condition,
were adduced at the. hearing.
An investigation was also had at
the same time and place into the san.
ity of William H. Sims and the jury
found this man not insane. However
he was not given his liberty but is held
at the jail as a witness in the case
against Louis M. Ashby, the wife MUIR

President Max Krauss has called a

I'VE expect an enthusiastic turnout
of all members. as the bankruptcy law
is burning question at present be-
fore the business interests of this
country. None are in better position
than the travelling men to discuss all
features of this law, for they are
thrown into close touch with the inter-
ests most affected by it. For this rea-
son we are particularly DESTROYS of
having an exchange of ideas with a
view of pursuing such course in regard
to its repeal as may seem proper"
