COMMITTEE WILL GO
no INVITE PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
TO VISIT SAVANNAH.
THE MAYOR AT ITS HEAD.
WILL LEAVE WHEN A LETTER
COMES FROM THE PRESIDENT.

The Mayor Has Written President
Roosevelt, Desiring to Know on
What Day "A Committee From Sa-
vannah Will Be Received to Ten
der the Invitation When the
Presidents Answer Is Received, n
Committee VIII Be Named by the
MayOr-It Is the Belief of the
Mayor and Aldermen That the
President VIII Accept the Invita-
ton.
A committee from the City Council,
headed by Mayor Myers, will leave for
Washington in a few days, to extend
an invitation to the President to visit
Savannah He is wanted by Council
as the city's guest upon the occasion
of the burial of the remains of Gen.
Nathaniel Greene beneath the Greene
monument in Johnson Square.
Yesterday a letter was addressed to
the President, asking that the Mayor
be notified of a date upon which a Sa-
vannah committee would be received
in Washington. An answer from the
President is expected within few
days. and soon after its receipt the
committee will leave.
Mayor Myers was asked who would
constitute the committee, but replied
that he is not yet ready to name it.
There is time enough. he said for this,
as it will be a few days before the COM
mittee leaves.
THE city will not withdraw from
the funeral arrangements entirely. in
the event that the President does not
accept the invitation" said the Mayor.
ION the contrary, it win still have
part. 1t will make some contribution
toward the actual expense of the re-
interment."
1t is the expectation of the Mayor
and many members of Council that the
President will attend the funeral. They
are not proceeding with arrangements
under this superstition, but are await
ing the definite acceptance.
Il think the President will accept"
said the Mayor. He will doubtless
recognize the occasion as of an impor-
lance that demands the attendance of
the chief executive of our country"

WILL TAKE BUSINESS.
Prospective Naval Stores Combina-
ton viii Hurt Savannah.

The naval stores trade in Savannah
is eagerly awaiting developments in
the organization of the s2.000OO0 COM
pany that has been formulated by fac
tors of Georgia and Florida. An
nouncement that such a colossal cor
poration was to be formed was made
at the recent naval stores convention
at Jacksonville.
Mr.. John r. Young of the Ellis
Young Company. was seen yesterday.
and said that, so far as he knows. there
is nothing to be given out additional
to the announcement made in Jack
sonville. He was not prepared TO
say who are principally interested.
where the principal Office Will be. or
in just what branches of the trade the
company will embark
"The company will operate through
Savannah, Fernandina and Pensacola"
said Mr.. Young. There will be a de-
traction from the present business
done through this port. This is not
the wish of the naval stores factors,
but it is a necessity that confronts
them. The Florida rates are so much
more advantageous that it is TO the in
terest of the factors to avail YIN
selves of the cheaper transportation
they afford"
Several of the Savannah naval stores
concerns are interested in the COM
pany. All are maintaining secrecy
about details that have not yet been
made public.

public thoroughfare that endangered
the property under their charge and
rendered it dangerous for everybody
else.
The officer said that it was wonder
somebody was not killed or injured
