NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Hilda Arrives

est to shippers and Mariners.
A feature Of the June tonnage report
is the increase in sail tonnage, the ag-
gregate for the month being 80 vessels
registering 2O.s3i tons. Among these are
two schooners, which register over 1000
tons. They are examples of the tendency
to build larger coastwise sailing craft,
and show that the large handlers of ium-
Der are beginning to send them into
these waters. Shipping men predict that
the next few years win find the smaller
sailing vessels relegated to the rear, and
their places taken by the big five and six
masters. They are more in demand for
charter. hence will be more profitable in
vestments.

JONES is CAPTURED
SLAYER or BENJAMIN BLOUNT AR
RESTED IN CAROLINA.
CONFESSED TO THE KILLING.
SHERIFF. swEENY FOUND HIM AT
FERREBEE STATION.

The Shot Gun with which Jones
Murdered the old Man at Four
Mile Hill Found-JOnes Brought 10
Savannah and Lodged in JaiI-Snid
He killed BIount TO Save His own
Life.
Horace Jones. colored. was arrested at
Ferrebee s. c.. a station on the Plant
System 81 miles from Savannah, yester-
day afternoon by Chief Deputy Thomas
Sweeney, and is now in the Chatham
county jail on a charge of murder. Jones
is the negro who shot Benjamin Blount
near the Four-Mle Hin, on the Louis
VILE road, July 4. An account of the
homicide was published in the Morning
News.
An inquest was held Monday and the
coroners jury returned a verdict charg-
ing Jones with murder. Since that time
Chief Deputy Sweeney has been making
every effort to locate Jones, who made
his escape Immediately after the killing.
The county officer located the murderer
at Ferrebee and yesterday decided to go
to that place and make the arrest him
self
Jones is from that section of South
Carolina, and had a brother living at the
station. When the county officer reached
the place he found the brother on the
railroad track with the shotgun that
Jones had used in killing Blount. The gun
was taken by the officer and was brought
to the city with the murderer. Jones was
placed under arrest before he realized
what was happening, and made no effort
to get away
He admitted that he shot Blount. and
declared that he did it 10 save his own
life The murderer says that Blount was
about to shoot him when he sent a load
OF bird shot into his left side. Jones did
not say why he left the scene OF his
crime, or why he did not surrender to the
officers. He alleges that the Williams
woman was very friendly with old man
Bount. and that this probably prompted
her to tell story that was not in ac-
cordance with the truth.
Ii appears that Lila Williams was the
only witness to the homicide, and her tes-
timony before the coroners jury made
out a cowardly and cold blooded crime.
Jones, who is a young negro, owed
Rlount an elderly man, some money.
which he was Indifferent about paying.
The men had wordy alteration early
in the morning and Blount ordered Jones
from his place.
According to the woman Jones return
ed in about twenty minutes with a shot
gun and without saying a word, tried to
shoot Blount. The weapon snapped, and
another argument was commenced. 1t
seems that Jones made Blount get his
gun and come out into the road. At
command from Jones he placed the
weapon on the ground. and went a few
feet away. Again Jones lifted his gun
and the hammer fell without causing 1t
to explode. He tried the second barrel,
and a load of bird shot entered the left
side of Blount, making an uglyy wound.
which caused his death short while
later

PLANT SYSTEM CONTRACT.
One with n Five-Year Term Related
10 East and West Streets.

No NethSt Ahu WEI
Mayor Myers was not quite sure. when
seen yesterday. whether the contract be-
tween the city and the Plant System,
whereby the east-and-west streets north
of Anderson were not to be opened by
the city for five years, had expired. lie
will look into the matter, however, and.
II the term is past 1t is probable that
the petition of Mr.. ]. S. Schley. repre-
senting the estate of James NJ. Schley.
for opening Waldburg street across the
Plant System right of way, will result
in an investigation as to ways and means
whereby that street and others may be
opened.
The Mayor said that 1t was his recol-
lection that the Plant System had al
lowed east-and-west streets south of An
derson to be opened across its right OF
way in consideration of the city not de-
manding that additional streets to those
already opened north of Anderson should
be opened within five years.
Other property owners are of the same
opinion as Mr.. Schley-that the opening
of the east-and-west streets would mean
tie enhancement of property values, both
TO the east and west of the Plant Sys-
TEN right-of-way, Considerable expense
to the city might be involved in the pro-
cess. for condemnation might have to be
secured and payment made. More grade
crossing would be established. too. and
therein would lie an element of danger.
Accidents at grade crossings. however.
have been confined principally to those
where street car lines meet those of the
railway. and the element OF danger, for
that reason. might not be recognized by
some of the advocates of the opening OF
the streets.

HITTING AT NON-UNION BEER.
Posters and Circulars Scattered
throughout the city.

Throughout the city.
Posters containing the cross+bones and
skull. with the phrase Don't patronize
| Scab Beer" were conspicuous on the
| streets yesterday morning and caused
good deal of talk and comment. They
were posted on telegraph poles, in street
cars and in fact almost every place where
small, poster could be stuck. At the
bottom of some of the posters was print
ed "Brewed by the Savannah Brewing
Company" and on others "Brewed by
the Georgia Brewing Company" A comic
folder with the same. words was also put
in circulation.
The posters and folders bear the union
stamp and show that they were printed in
Cincinnati. Inquiry was made from va
rious sources, but no one here could be
found who would admit having anything
to do with the circulating OF the litera-
ture. 1t was suggested that the National
Brewers Union. with headquarters in
Cincinnati might have begun the fight.
w. D. Garwin, president of the local
Brewers Union. and Recording Secretary
c. o. Whitmark stated that the local
union had nothing to do with the placing
or printing of the posters. They stated
that the union could not take such sc-
ton, even If II so wished. and that all
such matters had to come through the
national union. They were surprised when
they saw the union posters.
Both officers of the union have been
employed by the Georgia Brewing Com
pany. but were notified last night that
their services would be no longer reqlhr-
ed. President Garwin said that he had
been with the brewery for eight years
as a seller and that his discharge came
a great surprise. He had been told
that the company was reducing expenses
but he old not seem satisfied with that
reason.
Secretary Whitmark was told that his
services as assistant engineer would not
be required any longer for the same rea-
SON. He said that he has been with the
brewery since its foundation, and cannot
understand why he has been dismissed.
Capt. w. w. Starr of the Savannah
Brewing Company. said that he had not
seen any of the posters and that he knew
of no trouble among the men employed
at the Savannah Brewery. Mr.. Grantham
of the Georgia, stated in the afternoon
that he did not care to discuss the sub
ject.
