and Constable A. Averett, of New
berry, Fla. passed through Way
cross this morning having in their
charge Mamie Price, alias Mamie

B. G. Mcdonald. Reward amounting
to $4,000 will be turned over to Elk

uncalled for murders that has ever
been known in Florida, on Saturday

phosphate mines in Newberry for sew
eral days. Saturday night he was
ordered to leave by Mr.. W. F. Brun-

BIG YEAR WITH HOTELS.
Travel Winter and summer Best
Ever known in savannah.

ana summer Rest
Ever Known in savannah.
Now that the summer season at the
hotels is about over the proprietors
of the local hostelries are beginning
to figure where they stand in regard to
the seasons business. They are all
more than satisfied both with the bust
ness done in the past year as well as
with the outlook for the coming sea
sons, both of tourist and summer
travel.
The hotel men may well be pleased
for at one hotel alone, the De Soto.
1t is figured that the past years bust
ness has been 25 per cent. better than
that of the year before which was, up
to that time, the banner year since
the opening of the house. Gains were
made in both classes of patrons, win
ter tourists and summer trade.
In the Pulaski House, too. the past
seasons winter and summer, have
been better by 20 per cent. than ever
before, and the business at Hotel Ty-
bee has shown an even larger growth.
The Screven House. also, has had an
excellent year with the exception of
one short dull period of fifteen days in
July.
The heavy travel and good patron
age of the hotels has been brought
about. Mr.. r. w. Powers of the De
Soto thinks, by the general prosperity
of the country and as this has. if any
thing, been increased within the last
few months. Mr.. Powers looks for
ward TO a winter travel and trade that
will be as far ahead of last winters
as that was ahead of the year before.
Mr.. Powers will leave for New
York within a week or two to secure
nelp for the winters work and while
2way will probably get a line on the
prospective travel South. This, he ex-
'sects, will begin about Nov l. though
it will be heaviest just after Christ
mas. Mr.. r. Z. McIver. room clerk
of the De Soto, will reach Savannah
about Nov 1

UMPIRES NOT HENPECKED
Tales of Some officials Who Scored
Heavily.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
THAT joke about the poor forlorn
umpire runs a dead heat with the hen
pecked husband yarn remarked a
ball player the other day. Because
there are occasional kicks in a game
and once in a while the bunch sur
rounds an umpire and throws the
hooks in him, it does not mean that
he is at the mercy of the players most
of the time. On the contrary, the av-
erage umpire knows his power, and
does not hesitate to get back more
times than once.
Take Tim Hurst, for instance. More
stories have been told about Tim than
any other umpire in the business, and
most of them are true. Here's one that
hasn't been published before to my
knowledge, and shows to a consider
able extent that the umpire isn't Ene
down trodden unfortunate the fans
have been led to believe.
Tim always gave the visiting team
a shade the best of it on the general
principle that the home club always
had something of an advantage. When
the Cleveland club was fighting hard
to beat Baltimore a few years ago Tim
was umpiring a game at Cleveland
and Patsy Tebeau got TO him before
play began and remarked insinuat-
ingly:
Now. Tim, there's big crowd here
to-day. end l won't be responsible for
them If you don't give us a bit the best
of IT, They might throw you over the
feneel"
Tim said nothing. but looked at Te-
beau in his quizzical way and bid the
game g'wan. The first batter up on
the opposing side sent ripping
grounder down along the first base line
about three feet foul
Fair ball" yelled Tim. and the
runner raced 10 second.
'tTeheau made q bee line for the
plate, bat Tim met him half way. and
before Patsy could let out below
said.

KIDNAPBRS MAKE A
MISTAKE In CHILDREN
Mother of Child and a Man
Involved in Case.

BUFFALO, N Y, June 20.-Marian
Murphy. the six-year daughter OF
Cornelius Murphy, Of West Avenue. dis
appeared from her home on Tuesday
night and since then nothing has been
heard OF her. That she was kidnapped is
now generally believed. and today the
mysterious case has assumed national
Importance.
There is little doubt that she was
kidnapped IN mistake for Helene Gibbs,
the six-year-old daughter Of Mr. and
Mrs. Albert J. Gibbs. who live across
the street from the Murphys, at Penn
sylvania Street and West Avenue. The
name Of Alonzo J, Whiteman. alleged to
be the most expert check forger and
raiser known to the police, is persist
entity connected with the case, and by
no less a person than Mrs Gibbs, mother
OF the child that IS believed TO have
been the one sought by the kidnapers.
Mrs. Gibbs is the sister Of Alonzo J.
Whiteman and since he began his
career seven years ago, she. according
to her own allegations. has been black
mailed. threatened. and Inundated by
her brother, who now. almost penniIess.
wants some OF the money that she has
saved from their parents estate.

PHILIPPINE LEGISLATION
Virginia Representative Makes Speech
n House.

Mr. Jones tDem-, Va resumed MS ar

those provisions authorizing the COM
mission to grant franchises, sell or
otherwise dispose Of the public lands,
and proposing an issue Of bonds 20 buy
the lands held by the friars. owing to
the condition of the Philippines.
Mr. Jones said it was apparent that
every acre Of these lands must go into
the hands Of foreign corporations. This,
he insisted, ought to make the bill suf-
Gciently Objectionable TO the members
Of the House to secure It's defeat.
The provisions relating to the coinage
for the islands also net sir. Jones dis
approval The pesos to be coined were
to bear upon their faces a device sym
boiizing the sovereignty OF the United
States in the Philippine Islands.
He asked Mr- Cooper tEeep-, Wis.,,

with his declaration at the opening OF
his address Of yesterday that the United
States was in the Philippine Islands for
the purpose of giving them an irwin

that he leave the country. Riclas aided
him to reach London. where he was re-
ceived by Prince Kraptkin, the Russian
anarchist. and other noted reds who
made the English capital their head

mere at S:0z O'Clock this morning. John
son was stubborn to the end.
The murder for which Jones and John

revolving that has ever been recorded in

Radestky was shot down in cold blood
and then battered TO death by nick

HOUSE MEMBERS THINK
CUBA WILL GET RELIEF
Congress Will Hardly Ad-
journ Without Action.
Belief That the Beet Sugar Insurgents
VIII Drop Into Line for Presi-
dents Support

The Republicans in the House who
voted for the Cuban reciprocity bill as
reported from the Ways and Means
Committee express the opinion this
morning that Congress viii not adjourn
until some legislative relief for Cuba
as urged by the President has been en-
acted into law.
The opinion on the part of the House
Republicans is based on the belief that
the beet sugar Senators, when it comes
to a showdown, rather than go on rec
ord against the policy of the Admiuis-
tration, viii yield and support the Pres
ideDt.
1t is pointed out by the veterans OF
the House that should the Cuban reel
procity bill or Cuban treaty be post
poned until next December it would
mean the total abandonment Of the Gu
ban question, because 1t would be next
to impossible to consider and pass a
measure OF such Importance at a short
session OF Congress, when it requires
nearly all of the time between the be-
ginning Of the session. OF the first Mon
day in December. and the 4th Of March
in disposing of the preparation bills
Thus it viii be seen that Cuban reci-
procity would have but small show al
the short session. And if the next
House is Democratic the President
would hardly want to call an extra seq
sion Of the Fifty eighth Congress to 6eaI
/ with the Cuban question
With these facts before them Repub-
lican Senator's, it is asserted, will make
an heroic attempt to dispose OF the
Cuban reciprocity measure before ad-
