their remarkable performance by the

DIED IN POLICE AMBULANCE.
Young Man Almost "A Stranger Was
Being Taken to Hospital.

Suffering with congestion Of the
brain. William Redfern, a young white
man, practically stranger in the city,
died last night in the police ambulance.
just as he reached the Savannah Hos
pital His remains are at Fox &
Weeks undertaking establishment. and
an effort is being made to find out
who the dead mans relatives are and
where his home is.
Redfern was employed by Herman
H Bunger. a grocer at 1917 Ogeechee
road While he has been complaining
for several days. it was not thought
that he was in iced Of a physician.
and only yesterday morning he stated
that he was about we'll BY night.
however. his condition became alarm
ing. and DR.. Chisholm and DR.. Har-
mon were sent for.
They found the man suffering from
congestion of the brain, and advised
that he be taken TO the Savannah Hos
pital, where it would be more conven-
lent to give him necessary attention
The police ambulance was called, and
the man was placed in il and driven to
the hospital. The hospital had not
been reached when the man became
unconscious and died shortly after
ward.
Just who Redfern is, who his people
are. and where he came from is not
definitely known. He was a very quiet
man, and seldom had anything to say
about himself. He confided in no one
asked no questions, and only on oc-
casions became laxative. So it is that
even his employer could furnish little
information about him.
Redfern went to Mr.. Bunger six
weeks ago and told him that he want
ed a position. He said that he had
worked in a grocery. He was given a
position, and has been working at the
place ever since. An old negro woman
who used TO live in North Carolina, was
the only person who could give any in
formation relative to the dead man last
night. She said that he formerly lived
at Whites store. near Peachland, N.
c. He has brother living there, Ho-
gan Redfern. and has, she said. other
brothers who frequently visit Valdos-
ia. He was unmarried. and about 80
years of age. His brother has been
notified.

DON'T WANT SUNDAY RACES.
Ministers May Invoke Law to Stop
Sunday Events at Coliseum

Ministers May Invoke Law TO Stop
Sunday Events at Coliseum.
The first of the fall meetings of the
Ministerial Association was held yes
terday morning and proved an excep-
tionally interesting one, chiefly because
of the stand that the ministers took
on the question of Sunday bicycle
racing.
Rev. ]. A. Smith brought the matter
up by calling the attention of the meet
ing to the advertised fact that Jack
Prince would hold meetings at the Col
iseum track Sunday Mr.. Smith
thought the giving of the races would
mean that they would be visited by be-
tween one and two thousand persons
to the detriment of the attendance at
Sunday-school.
Rev. Bascom Anthony took the
same view of the matter, and
so, for that matter, did all
the other ministers present. In
fact this view was so general that it
was decided without any controversy
that Rev. Ed. F. Cook, pastor of Yves
ley Monumental Church, should call on
a lawyer on behalf of the Ministerial
Association and see if some means to
stop these proposed races can not be
found.
There is no desire to punish Prince
said Rev. Mr.. Cook, speaking of the
matter after the meeting, but the
members of the association can not
stand by without making a protest at
such a dissertation of the Sabbath as
the proposed races would be. Some
comment was made in the meeting,
too, about the Savannah Electric Co.
and the class of entertainments that it
provided on Sundays, at the Casino,
during the past summer.

FlREMEN HAD A RUN.
False Alarm Carried the "whoIe
Push" to Box No, 3.

Push" to Box No. 8.
The entire fire department was given
a run yesterday afternoon at 4:3O
o'clock by an alarm from box No. s.
Whenever No. s sounds 1t is a gen
eral," for the reason that it is located
at Whitaker and Bay streets, a locality
that has been prolific in big fires. Every
engine house, therefore, contributes its
apparatus, and there was much rush
ing of teams and changing of gongs
through the streets
The attention of many people was ar
rested by the wild course of the ap-
paratus, and there was a general move
ment towards No. 8. Everybody knows
where No. is, and, on catching the
count it was no difficult matter to find
the way to where the fire was sup
posed to be. 1t was a free matinee
performance, and all wanted to get In
on it.
1t was a false alarm. The depart
ment arrived, rubbered around and
smelled for smoke, but there wasn't a
Whit of it to be caught. Then ii was
decided that it was a false alarm, and
the apparatus proceeded leisurely back
to quarters.
The electrician was working on the
wires near the Union Station. This
caused the alarm to go in.

SPANISH IN THE HIGH SCHOOL
No Public Demand So Far, but May
DC in n short Time,

The recent Introduction of the study
OF Spanish in the curriculum of the
United States Naval Academy at An
napolis and the editorial comments of
the Morning News thereon have occa-
stoned some local discussion of the adj
Visibility of teaching the language in
the High School of the city.
The purpose in giving instruction in
Spanish is based on the rapidly increas-
ing commercial relations between this
country and the Central and South
American republics, in which that Ian
guage is almost universally used.
superintendent of Public Education
Ashmore was asked yesterday what he
thought of the plan of introducing
Spanish into the High School.
Il scarcely think" he said, that
there is sufficient demand for instruc-
ton in the language among the people
of Savannah to warrant the expense
which would be incurred. The use
fulness of Spanish would be measured
by the extent of the commercial rela-
lions between this port and Spanish
speaking countries, and while such
commercial relations doubtless should
De very extensive, as a matter of fact
they are not. In my opinion there
would be very few pupils relatively
who would elect to take instruction in
Spanish were it offered.
In addition such instruction would
involve the employment of a special
instructor and the setting apart of a
separate room. Tke money for the
first is not Immediately in sight. and
there is no room in the High School
brflding available for the purpose Tn
che absence of any general demand for
instruction in Spanish 1 do not believe
the time is ripe for it's introduction
Il do believe that the public schools
SO far as their means and the circum-
stances permit should supply the edu-
cational demands and needs of the
people. Should the demand for in
struction in Spanish warrant its in
production 1 should favor it heartily {"
AS the curriculum of the High School
now stands there is no compulsory in
struction in language other than Eng
fish Latin is elective and pupils are
not required to take it unless thew so
desire. ~

PRINCE WAS SURPRISED.
when lie Heard of Action of Minis
ters' Association.


ters' Association.
The attitude of the Savannah Minis
terial Association at it's meeting yes
terday, with reference to the Sunday
races, was great surprise to Prince
and he refused to believe it at first
II can't think that those gentlemen
will try to stop such an innocent past
time" said Prince. There is no bet
ting, no liquors are sold, and there
can't be any more harm in it than
buggy riding or boat racing. I've got
a conscience and 1 think my heart is
in the right place, but believe me,
don't see any harm at all in Sunday
races when things are quiet and or
Derby"
Prince says he has been put to a
heavy expense for the races sched-
uled for Sunday. He has brought rid
ers from the East for this race alone
has engaged the services of the First
Regiment Band. and has spent a con-
siderable sum in advertising. AS vet
he has received no word from any of
the ministers and has not been visited
by any counsel representing them. The
riders in the meantime are not at all
annoyed, knowing that since Prince
has contracted with them he must pay
them.
When the City of Augusta of the
Ocean Steamship Company's line
reaches her dock this morning Nat
Butler, the fast pace follower under
contract with Jack Prince to ride at
the Coliseum on Sunday, will arrive
with his wife.
Charlie Turville is also expected to-
day with a fast moter that he went
East to purchase. He will probably
be accompanied by Howard Freeman,
who rode in Savannah last spring.
Freeman is booked to enter the free
for-all scheduled to come off Sunday
afternoon. He closed a contract with
Prince for the race by wire. The 9TH
er riders are all here training for the
races Sunday afternoon.
