claimants against the United States be-
fore the Spanish claims commission we
shall have from Mr.. Carlisle the MASTER
full argument o. the ablest logician now
living in America. 1t has been truthfully
said Of Mr.. Carlisle that he can say more
in fewer words than any other man now
living in America In other words, he is
master of logic without superior in
this generation. He is a cold calm, DELHI
crate advocate, who never uses super
fiuous word nor adds an idea not in con-
sonance with the basic truth he seeks to
impress. Whatever partisans may say OF
this great man, he remains our most mas
terful master of logic as presented in
the English language.
AS has been said, Mr.. Hannis Taylor
Is to follow Mr. Carlisle and close the ar
gument Mr.. Taylor thus has the great
est opportunity that can well come into
the life of any advocate before any bar
in the United States. Mr.. Taylor will
sum up for the government, after Mr..
Carlisle has summed up for those who
claim s25, OO0,0 900 from the United States
treasury. The whole question of inter-
national Jaw pertaining to insurrectlon-
lists the world over falls upon Mr.. Tay-
Tor to elucidate.
Mr.. Taylor is today acknowledged to
be the first writer upon international
law In Christendom. Upon that subject
he is the acknowledged authority, as has
been evidenced by number of the most
famous universities in the world, includ
ing In this country Harvard and Yale.
and in our mother-country. Edinburgh.
Cambridge and Oxford, from each of
which he has received "a degree of most
enviable and almost unexampled honor.

THROTTLED BY THUGS
TRAVELLING MAN ROBBED OF $500
By NEGRO HIGHwAYMEN.
r. W. ELLIS THE VICTIM.
GEORGE B. ELTON HELD UP ON
HUNTINGDON STREET.

Disguised white Man Thrust Re-
vOIver at His Breast and Demand
ed His MOney-Mr. EIton's Sus-
riciOns Saved Him His vaIuabIes.
The Ellis Robbery Committed at
AbercOrn and BrOughtOn Lane.
The Police without Clues in
Either Case.
Savannah is having more highway
robberies than it knows what to do
with. The Mayors orders to the police
to rid the city of suspicious characters
has not had the effect of lessening the
number of hold ups that have been
taking place within the last week or
two.
Strangled and relieved of $3.50 in
greenbacks was the experience of r.
w. Ellis of New York at Congress lane
and Abercorn street at 1920 o'clock
last night.
Mr.. Ellis is an aged gentleman and
travels for safe company. He ar
rived in the city during the day and
registered at the Screven House. About
10 o'clock he went to Rowlinsks drug
store, at Broughton and Drayton
streets, to make a purchase, and start
ed for a walk around the block before
returning to his hotel. He went down
Broughton street to Abercorn and
when he reached the rear of Carson's
stables he encountered two negroes.
Before he had time to realize what
was happening one of them seized him
by the throat The other went
through him and quickly relieved him
of a roll of ten dollar bills. They were
held togetehr by rubber band. In
going through his pocket the negro
scattered several letters and papers
in the lane and ran toward Drayton
street.
1t was a minute before Mr.. Ellis re-
covered himself and he hurried back
to Rowlinksi's where he met Deputy
Sheriffs O'Connor and WeStcott. Mr..
O'Connor returned with Mr.. Ellis, but
no trace of the negroes could be found.
The papers and letters were found and
turned over to the victim of the high
waymen.
Mr. Ellis called at police headquar-
tiers later and reported what had hap
pened to Detective Murphy. The de-
tective secured slight description
of the negroes, but was unable to To-
cate either of them. and it is doubtful
il any arrests will be made. The spot
at which the hold-up occurred is par
ticularly dark one.

tax receiver, an office which he held
for many years. Capt. Dillon said
however, that this is not true: at am
out of politics." he said.

THROWN FROM HER HORSE.
Miss SaIIie Haskell Injured by The
Fall of The Animal.

Fall of The Animal.
Miss Sallie Haskell was thrown from
her horse late yesterday afternoon near
the Cathedral Cemetery. and it was
thought for some time that she had
been seriously injured. AS the hours
passed. however, the fears of friends
and relatives were somewhat allayed,
for consciousness, from which she had
lapsed, was restored, and she gave
every appearance of improvement.
The accident was caused by the horse
stumbling on the road that leads from
Thunderbolt shell road to the golf
links. No one saw the fall. but Miss
Haskell was thrown heavily. Several
persons were near by, and ran to her
aid as soon as it was known that her
horse had fallen with her. and among
there were two of the visiting physi-
clans, who were on a street car, which
was passing at the moment, and which
was stopped in order that the doctors
might get off to attend the endorsed
rider Word of the accident reached
the golf links, too and several ladies,
friends of Miss Haskell, hurried to her
side.
Miss Haskell was completely uncon-
scious, and the efforts of the physi-
-
cot was obtained from Mr.. Herman
Winters home, but a short distance
away, and upon this she was carried
to the house. A telephone message
notified DR.. W. w. Owens of the &C
cident. and he went to the scene in a
closed carriage, purposing to return
with Miss Haskell as soon as she might
be able to ride. Mrs. L. w. Haskell
and Miss Elizabeth Haskell, mother
and sister of the injured lady, also
went out.
After about half an hour of uncon-
seriousness, Miss Haskell was restored
to her senses. 1t was not until $3.50
o'clock, however, that she was deemed
sufficiently recovered to admit of her
being taken to her home, No. 12S State
street, east.
News of the accident spread rapidly,
and the many friends of Miss Haskell
and the family, who learned of it,
made anxious inquiries. General re-
lief was afforded by the report that
the fall would not, it seemed, prove
as serious as had been feared.

A WREATH FOR THE DEAD.
Sons of Veterans TO Place Design ON
Confederate Monument.

Sons of Veterans to Place Design ON
Confederate Monument.
The April meeting of Barlow Camp
of Sons of Confederate Veterans was
held at Confederate Hall last night.
1t was determined at the meeting that
an appropriate floral design should be
purchased by the camp and sent this
year to form part of the Memorial Dav
decorations of the Confederate monu-
ment.
Mr.. A. D. Harden was appointed a
committee of one to select and procure
an appropriate design. which is to bear
the monogram of the camp. 1t has
been felt that the camp should indi-
cate in some special way it's reverence
for the Confederate dead on the day
devoted to their honor, and it is likely
that the plan adopted for this year will
become with the camp an established
custom.
Special efforts will be made this
year to parade a large proportion of
the camps membership on Memorial
Day and to this end a committee was
appointed to seek out the members and
vi Be lheif participation In the parade.
The committee consists of Messrs. Ed
win c. Ryals. w. E. Coney and George
NJ. Nell. An invitation to Join in the
observance of the day was received
from Capt. F. d. BIoodworth acting
chairman of the Memorial Day Conn
mittee of the Confederate Veterans
Association. and it is proposed to ac-
cept it with full ranks
Mr.. NJ. O'Mara will present the camp
at the annual reunion of the United
Sons of Confederate Veterans, to be
held this year at Dallas. Other Jele-
gates will be appointed, but it is i'm
probable that. any other than Mr.
O'Mara will make the trip.
