CAUGHT BURGLAR IN HOUSE.
Policeman Davis Found One at Me.
DonOugh and Abcrcorn.

Policeman Moses Davis made a good
catch yesterday morning in the shape of
a negro burglar whom he found in the
house of Mrs. E. j. Thomas at McDon-
ough and Abercorn streets. Mrs Thomas
usually places a lunch in the window on
the lower floor of the house for the Do
lceman on the beat. Policeman Davis got
his lunch as usual at midnight. He sup
poses that the negro was probably lying
in wait and saw that the window was
not fastened. 1t was probably much lat
er, however when the negro made his
entrance.
Mrs. Thomas was aroused shortly be-
fore o'clock by someone moving about
the house and concluded that there was
an Intruder on the premises. She did not
give an alarm, but quietly waited until
Policeman Davis made his appearance
when she notified him from an upper
window of her suspicious.
Policeman Davis entered and had no
difficulty in affecting the arrest of the
culprit He did not appear to have dis
turbed anything and had no booty on him
AT the barracks he gave his name as
William Waters and said that he was
from DIunsW lex. Hc had two pawn tick
cts on him, each in different names He
also had a sandbag or billy, made OF
cloth and filled with sand. which may be
made very effective weapon when WELD
ed by strong arm.

BIDS FOR FAIR BUILDINGS.
Secretaries of Fair Association VIII
Discuss Dates.

Discuss Dates.
Bids for the construction of the build
ings for the fair grounds will be receiv-
ed by Mr.. Percy sugden. architect for the
Savannah Fair Association, to-day. Esti-
mates have placed the prospective cost
of the buildings at $4,000 but it is thought
that some of the bids may fall below
that amount.
An excellent idea or just how the fair
grounds will look, when all the work
has been completed, was afforded by the
large view published by the Morning
News yesterday The picture was clear in
detail and comprehensive in scope.
Racing men think the plan for the con-
ference of secretaries of fair associations
of Georgia, South Carolina. Florida and
Alabama, that has been called for next
Thursday in Savannah, should be produc-
tive of much mutual benefit. The secre-
taries will be able to so arrange dates
as TO allow the races to be held without
conflict. Owners of stables will be able
to ship their horses from place to place,
and the extra chance of pulling down
purses will result in more of them getting
on the circuit.
Atlanta offered so 900 last year for races.
Some of the best horses that ever came
South were raced in that city. Although
it has not been definitely settled, it is
expected that the State Fair will have
purses aggregating 5000. With that much
additional money to be pulled down. there
is every reason to believe that the horses
that go to Atlanta this fall will also come
to Savannah Atlanta, it is unders TODD,
will offer as much this year as last.

SUNDAY Lacquer ARRESTED.
Charged With Doing Ticket Broker
age Business without License.

J. S. Christy, white man employed at
the Central of Georgia Railway, was ar
rested at the Central depot yesterday BY
Detective Murphy on the charge of doing
a ticket brokerage business without IL
cense. A second charge of carrying con-
cealed weapons was also entered against
him.
1t was stated at the police barracks that
the detectives found Christy engaged in
purchasing excursion tickets from incom-
ing passengers. and that when arrested
for doing business without license he
slipped pair OF brass knucks between
his pants and shirt The knucks were
picked up later. Christy Is said 20 be
very active member OF the Law and Or
der League which has so strenuously
sought the enforcement OF the Sunday
laws. The detectives were inclined to be
rather cynical in their comments upon
the arrest OF Law and Order Lacquer
for doing business on Sunday without "a
license. Mr.. VI r. Wilson. the attorney
for the league. was summoned boy the
prisoner ana VIII represent him IN court

ident of Savannah, died yesterday morn

LOCAL TEACHERS CAN'T GO
barred From Attending Meeting of
State Educational Association.


The teachers of the Savannah public
schools will not be able to attend the
meeting of the Georgia Educational AS
ISOLATION this year, as many of them, I'M
der more favorable circumstances, would
have been delighted to do.
The meeting is 40 be held at Warm
Springs and will begin tomorrow and con
tinue until Thursday or Friday. During
all of this time the teachers in the local
schools will be at their desks, as the term
does not end until Friday, and for this
reason Ia will be impossible for them to
attend the meeting. The conflict between
their school duties and the meetings of
the association has occurred during sew
eral past years and the Savannah teach
ers have practically abandoned active con-
nection with the association. This has
been a matter of regret TO them as the
meetings are always both pleasant and
valuable to a teacher
The conflict is induced by the fact that
the summer terms of many of the coun-
try schools begin on July l. while the
meetings OF the National Educational As
ISOLATION are held usually during the
first or second week OF July 1t is the
effort of the officers of the state associa-
ton to select time for its meeting be-
tween these two events and the result Is
that the teachers of the Savannah schools.
which close later In the summer than
most OF the others in the state are pre-
vented from attending There will be

Springs this week

RESORTS WERE CROWDED.
Citizens and Visitors Sought Cooling
Waves and Brcezes.

Yesterday was the first big Sunday of
the season at savannah's seashore re-
sorts. Tybee, Thunderbolt and Isle of
Hope all had immense crowds. The rail-
road brought in nearly 2O00 excursion
lists. The Central brought in three excur-
sions, all large ones, one from Macon
and Atlanta and points along the line,
another from Augusta, and a third from
the new Bruton and Pineora division. The
latter contingent numbered several hun
dred ana they were headed for Tybee. 1t
was the first opportunity many of them
had to make connections with Savannah's
famous resort, and they we're determin-
ed to make the most Of it. The day was
fine, the tide was just right and they
got their moneys worth.
The Plant System brought in two large
excursions, one from Charleston and the
other from Brunswick. The visitors from
the neighboring cities did not all favor
Tybee dividing themselves among the
several resorts.
The day was the first genuine scorcher
OF the season and the majority of Savan-
nahians wisely spent it at home. There
were hundreds, however, who concluded
that dip in the surf or a view from
the piazza of the Casino would make
amends for the ride and the outgoing
trains during the afternoon were crowded
TO the utmost. Tybee probably did the
largest business, though Thunderbolt was
a close second. and Isle of Hope not
bad third on the noon train there were
521 passengers, chiefly Central excursion
lists. The $3.50 train carried down four
teen heavily loaded coaches with So paid
passengers aboard, including the morning
trains this brought the total for the day
to 1900, with two more trains to hear
from.
The suburban electric lines had all they
could do to handle the crowds to the out
side resorts in the afternoon and night.
and there was a good deal of complaint
in the city of a Generalization of the SER
vice at night, due doubtless to the heavy
draft upon the resources OF the company
for the outside lines. The company Is
without cars to handle its business
The thermometer at the weather bu-
reau only registered 92.6 for the day, but
the general consensus and expression of
opinion was that 1t was the hottest day
yet. The predicted thunderstorm did not
materialize, but the atmospheric press
ure appeared to be ample in every way,
and an electric display would have caused
no surprise. There is no special forecast
for to-day with the probability that it
Will be much the same as yesterday.

ANNOYED BY DRUNKEN WOMEN.
Patrons of ThunderbOIt Line Sub

Patrons of ThunderbOIt Line Sub
jected to "A Disgusting Exhibition.
Visitors to Thunderbolt who returned
to the city on a car leaving shortly be-
fore o'clock were shocked and disgust
ed by the condition and conduct of a
young white woman who was neiped Oh
the car by a young man at the last re-
sort before the car leaves the village.
The woman, aged apparently about %
years, was maudlin drunk. She had a
grievance against some party. real or i'm
aginary, which she proceeded to ventilate
in loud voice and coarse language, with
an accompaniment of mingled tears and
hysterical laughter
AS the car swerved around the curves
she tumbled against the shoulders of
those who sat next her in the seat. On
the left was the young man who accom-
panied her on the car. himself not the
soberest man. On her right was grey
haired and grey-moustached gentleman
whose embarrassment was painful to be-
hold as the inebriated creature lolled and
pitched against his shoulder
The car was crowded. There must have
been ten ladies TO board it at the Casino
Three or four others got on at the yacht
crowded into seats. In total not less than
eighteen ladies were on the car. And
there in pain view of them all was the
drunken young woman, with red and
swollen face, rolling imprecations from a
mouth foul with liquor. The ladies on
the car were in a predicament. They
could not get off conveniently, in the
woods, and they were without escape or
redress They could only affect to look
elsewhere and keep up a chatter of con-
versation to shut out the womans I'M
welcome words. To make matters more
disagreeable the car had to wait at every
switch from one to three minutes for
connections, thus prolonging the torture
There was much sharp comment on the
car respecting the incident. 1t was the
common opinion that the railroad COM
pany was doing a grievous injustice to its
patrons to permit them to be insulted
with such company. More than one gen.
tleman expressed the opinion that the
conductor should never have permitted
the woman to get on the car. Col. Mer-
Ger. who was ar. unwilling witness to the
episode commented: well, this is an H.
Illustration of what Sam Jones said about
how disgusting it was to see woman
drunk
