LAWYERS TO WARM SPRINGS.
Judge BarrO>y's Plan for Relief of
the Supreme Court.

inc OOuFts
Savannah lawyers will leave to-
morrow for Warm Springs, where they
will attend the annual meeting of the
Georgia Bar Association. This will
continue through Thursday, Friday
and Saturday, and it is expected that
there will be an attendance of about
10 or 100 lawyers. Among the Savan-
nahians who will attend are Col. A.
r. Lawton, Mr.. T. NJ. Cunningham,
Jr, Mr.. George w. Owens, MIR. R. M.
Fitch, Capt. ID. c. Barrow, Judge Pope
Barrow and Mr. A. l.. Alexander. Col.
Lawton is chairman of the Executive
Committee of the association.
Judge Barrow is to have a beading
part in discussion of means for the re-
lief of the Supreme Court of the state,
which finds that more work devolves
upon it than it is able to do. Judge
Barrow advocates the establishment of
an intermediate judiciary, holding that
this would afford relief for the Su-
preme Court. 1t is a method that pre-
walls in other states, and he believes it
could be adopted with advantage in
Georgia.
About twelve years ago Judge Bar
row, then a member of the Legislature,
introduced a bill for the establishment
of such court of appeals. 1t was his
idea to establish several circuits in the
state. making the judges of the Supe-
rior Court in each circuit its judges.
Any judge from whom the appeal
might be taken would not sit with his
associates upon the consideration of
the case.
Judge Barrow's idea is that only GER
tain cases would reach the court of
appeals, the others going direct to the
Supreme Court. Those of the greatest
Importance or involving questions of
law would go to the Supreme Court,
the others being certiorari cases.
This would relieve the Supreme Court
of much work and would add to that
of the Superior Court judges, who
would have their salaries increased.

THE health of the city was fair
during the six months that have just
passed" said DR.. w. f. Brunner
health officer, yesterday. "One month
it would be good, and the next month
it would be bad There was one salts
faction. though April showed up with
the lowest mortality ever recorded in
Savannah"
Smallpox was most difficult of the
diseases with which the department
had to cope. 1t is no easy matter for
DIR. Drummer to gain the cooperation
of the more ignorant of the negro pop
ulation in dealing with the disease If
his efforts were not opposed. rather
than aided, it would be a much easier
matter for him to stamp out the last
traces of the disease.
Some complaint of a prevalence OF
typhoid fever was heard some weeks
ago. OF the cases reported DIR. Brun-
ner had no trouble in tracing the or
igin of a majority to other places, ii
having been shown that the patients
had not been long in Savannah before
being seized by the disease.

Clerk of Planters Hotel and n Room
err in u SettO.
]. A. Sternad was arrested yesterday
afternoon at the request of John Hill
lizard of the Planters Hotel, who
charges the prisoner with cursing and
assaulting him. The trouble grew out
of the fact that Sternad, who has been
out of the city. owed two weeks room
rent at the Planters Hotel. DON as
he showed up at the hotel n I'd de-
manded the rent and in a way that
Sternad disliked. This led to the alter

part of the matter, however, Sternad
denies. The arrest was made by Pa
trolman Dooley. Sternad was released

yesterday morning in the office of its
attorney, W. w. Gordon, Jr., Esq. for
the purpose of winding up the affairs
of the organization. The company has
recently disposed of all it's holdings,

hand about $1,000.
The stockholders decided to file a
bill in a court of equity, and ask that
the court direct the distribution of the
funds. This will be done within a
short time. Such a measure was deem
ed advisable in order to allow all who
have claims against the company to
make them known. 1t is said that
some dividends have remained un-
claimed for thirty eight or forty years.
