COMMISSIONERS CAN'T TELL.
Whether Tax Rate for Next Year
VIII BE Increased or Not.

The County Commissioners are not pre-
pared to say that the increase made by
the grand jury, in the appropriation for
public education, will necessarily mean
an increased rate of taxation.
II can't tell" said Chairman Dale. yes
terday. This will have to be determined
when we see what the values of property
assessed for taxation amount to in the
aggregate. If there is no increase in
values and the full amount appropriated
for county purposes in the budget is ex-
pended, why then we shall have to in
crease the rate. If the values increase
sufficiently or we are able to cut down
expenditures for other purposes, the rate
may remain where it is. We won't be able
to say positively until next August"
IT'S all a very simple question:" sail
Vice Chairman Moore. I'VE must have
more property assessed for taxation
spend less than we have estimated fo-
other purposes than education or raise
the rate. Certainly we can't tell yet what
will be the outcome"

turning their money loose on the island.
1t is estimated that the exports for
this year alone will bring ten
millions of dollars to Porto Rico. For all
these reasons. the people are beginning
to understand that American sovereignty
is good thing for their island and them
selves"
Capt. Williams believes that there will
be reactionary results from this condition
of prosperity in Porto Rico, and that
from these Savannah and other South At
lantic ports will largely benefit. The ISL
and, he says has no lumber worth men
tioning, and for the extensive works of
Improvement now in progress and soon to
be inaugurated the lumber must be
brought from the states. 1t can be shipped
from Savannah to as great advantage as
from any other port The vessels that
carry it 10 San Juan can bring back to-
bacco coffee, sugar and fruits.
A party of New York capitalists are now
building a modern tourist hotel, to cost
when completed half a million of dollars,
at San Juan. 1t is to stand upon the
nights near Fort Cristobal Colon, over
looking the sea.
Capt. Williams spoke with enthusiasm
of the native beauties and attractive fea-
lures of the island. The drive from San
Juan to Ponce, on the other side of the
island. is along the military road, built
by the Spaniards and one of the finest
highways anywhere in existence. The
road is eighty-five miles long and with
ponies can even now be trayersed in nine
or ten hours. At it's highest point the
road reaches an elevation of 1000 feet
above the level of the sea.
What trip it would be on an auto
MOBILIZE" exclaimed Capt. Williams, "but
as yet" he adde, regretfully, there is
none on the island"

THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY. MAY IS. 1901,
WAS DROWNED ACCIDENTALLY
The CorOner's Verdict Concerning
the Death of Henry Juchter.

Coroner Keller held an investigation
last night into the drowning of Henry
Juchter in Adams Creek Sunday morn
ing. Several witnesses were examined.
The story of the fatal accident was told
fully in the Morning News Monday, and
the inquest did not develop anything new.
The men on the tug Jennie E." when
Mr.. Juchter fell in the water, stated that
he had not been drinking, and that he
must have lost his balance and fallen
from the narrow deck. The witnesses
also stated that Mr.. Juchter could not
have been saved even had there been no
accidents after he was discovered in the
water He was several hundred yards
from the boat and sank before a boat
could have reached him, even though It
had been promptly and successfully
launched. The jury returned a verdict
that he had been accidentally drowned by
falling off the tug
Mr.. Juchter was buried yesterday morn
ing in Bonaventure Cemetery, and the
funeral was largely attended. Services
were conducted at the family residence,
No. 2O9 Waldburg street, west, and at the
grave, by Rev. NJ. j. Epting, pastor OF
st. PauPs Lutheran Churcn. The floral
tributes were numerous and beautiful.

HUSSARs GO TO TYBEE.
Picnic and Drill Mt the New Pavilion
To-day.

The prize drill and picnic of the Geor-
gia Hussars will be held to-day at Ty-
bee. Many will go to the island on the
early trains. but the larger part of the
crowd that is expected will go by the
afternoon trains. The drill Will be held
early during the evening in the new
Central Railroad Pavilion. The drill will
be with sabers, and First Lieutenant c.
A. l.. Cunningham will be in command of
the troop The medal. which falls to the
enlisted man whom the drill may show
most proficient in the manual, was won
last year by Trooper Stein Bryan Con-
siderable interest in the contest has been
been aroused and it is expected that the
troopers will be put to good drill. An
event that has not been announced pub
licly is also to be a pleasing feature of
the evening. Dancing will be INDUCED in
and it is expected that all who attend
viii find the occasion very pleasant.

Condemned Men This Morning.
Sheriff Thompson of Screven county ar
rived in Savannah last night with a ne
gro supposed to be Mathew Mckinney,
the famous desperate and murderer, for
whom there is a large standing reward.
The man was arrested about week ago
in Tallahassee. Fla, and will be taken to
Sylvania on this mornings train. Sheriff
Thompson secured requisition papers be-
fore attempting to bring the negro to
Georgia.
The prisoner could not be seen last
night, but it is understood that he denies
that he is the man wanted. He bears a
very close resemblance to the murderer
but the other Screven county murderers
with the death sentence over their heads
and no hope for a longer lease on life,
say that he is not Mckinney. They saw
him when he was brought in by the
sheriff
Arnold Augustus. Andrew Davis, Rich
ard Sanders, William Hudson and Sam
Baldwin, whom the Supreme Court says
must hang for the murder of Harrington
and .Mears, and who have spent the great
er part of their confinement in Chatham
county Jail, continue to declare that Nc
Kinney led the negroes on the night that
the Screven county officers wese ambush
ed and riddled with bullets. They say
that Mckinney was the leader in every
sense of the word, and forced them at the
point of the rife to remain on the scene
of the murder. They charge that they
were forced to shoot by the desperate,
although they still insist that their guns
were pointed in the air.
The men say that they would be only
too glad to know that Mckinney has been
arrested for the reason that they would
now be at liberty, but for the force he
used on the night of the shooting. The
negroes realize that the end is near and
profess to be ready. They have spent
most of their time for the last few weeks
in singing and praying. Their families
have moved. to Savannah and are per-
mitted to see them two days during the
week.
When Sheriff Thompson leaves for
Sylvania this morning with the supposed
Mckinney, the five other men viii be
taken too They will have to be resen-
fenced and this will be done Monday
when court convenes. After the negroes
have been sentenced for the second time,
they will be most likely returned to the
Jail in this city until the day before eX-
ecution. The whites in the county appear
perfectly willing to let the law take its
course, now that the men have no chance
of getting a new trial. No trouble is an
ticipated and the five men will be hanged
on the same gallows, probably without
the presence of troops.
