WORK ON THE EAST SIDE.
Improvement Club Has Effected Re-
suits of Which 1t Is Proud.

The Eastside Improvement Club con-
tinues its activity towards securing the
proper attention to the section of the
city lying east of the Plant System
tracks. Through its efforts sidewalks
are being laid as rapidly as the work
can be done in a good portion of that
locality, and it has secured the prom
Use of the Street and Lane Committee
of Council to grade the streets and put
them in proper shape as soon as this
work is completed. Where the prop
erty owners have finished laying the
sidewalks, the director of public works
will have street crossings put down.
The notice of the Park and Tree
Commission has also been called to
certain matters in their department
which have been neglected, and Chair
man Daffin has given instructions to
have proper attention given them.
number of the streets are badly in
need of surface drainage, and the
Street and Lane Committee has given
assurances that immediate attention
will be given to this matter TIL Ex-
ecutive Committee of the Eastside I'm
provement Club met recently and the
matter of opening Henry street from
its present eastern terminus to the
Thunderbolt she'll road was thoroughly
discussed. An effort will be made to
induce property owners through whose
land the street would run to make rea-
souable concessions for carrying out
the plan. The committee having the
matter in charge, consisting of Can't.
w. w. Gordon, Jr., Mr.. William Ke-
hoe and Mr.. ]. w. McIntire, was re-
quested to continue to serve, and to
see each property owner as soon as
possible and learn what concessions
will be made
1t is understood that the city contem-
plates paving Henry street, east, to
Waters road in the near future. and as
soon as the street beyond can be on
ened, the County Commissioners will
be asked to surface that portion living
beyond the city limits. Such an i'm
provement would be of great benefit to
residents of the city south of CASTOR
street desiring to reach the Catholic or
Bonaventure cemeteries, avoiding the
necessity, as at present. of having to
drive to Liberty street to leave the city
The committee charged with secur-
ing better street car facilities for Col

ST0VALL LIKELY TO RUN.
Will Probably Enter Race na Candi-
date for Speaker.

1t is altogether probable that Mr..
for Speaker of the House in the Cen
eral Assembly. In the absence of more
definite conditions as to the race he has
not yet decided what he will do, but
the encouragement he has received is
very likely to induce him to become a
candidate.
A prominent politician who has just
returned from a trip to Monroe and
Bibb counties said yesterday that the
general impression in those counties
was that Mr.. Stovall was the logical
candidate.
"They say" he said, that North
Georgia now has the Governor and the
president of the Senate, and that a
South Georgia man should be elected
speaker, anyhow OF all of the South
Georgia representatives they think
Stovall the most logical candidate.
This Savannahian said that Monroe
county really went for Terrell though
it was put in in the Query column.
One precinct which was almost solidly
for Terrell failed to send in its vote
and this precinct had twenty-seven
votes. The county went for Query by
II majority.
Hon ]. Ferris Cam Endorses Mr.
Stovall for speaker. What is more, he
believes he can be elected.
Mr.. Stovall," said Mr.. Cam, who
has just served a term in the state
Senate and is, therefore, familiar with
the conditions that would govern such
a contest as that for speaker of the
House would be, would make good
race. l believe he could win. One ad
vantage that he would have would be
found in the support that he would Sc
cure from both Savannah and Augusta,
communities in which he lives or has
lived He is widely known throughout
the state, too. and the fact that he is a
newspaper man will also be in his IA
Vor. He has relatives scattered
through Georgia, and these would lend
him their support"

the appearance of the badge of the

attend the triennial convention of the
Society of the Cincinnati as delegates
from the Georgia Society. Other Geor-

Massachusetts.
The meeting will be of particular in
terest to the Georgia Society, for the
question of its admission into the rec

standing that it would be raised again.
Mr.. Charlton is president of the So

members. He said yesterday that it
will be his earnest effort before the con-

OIL KNOCKED 'EM OUT.
Mosquitoes Run Out of the Lower
Press NeighbOrhOod.

A practical demonstration of
what kerosene oil will do to
mosquitoes has been made at
the Lower Cotton Press. The en-
ployes of the press had been about
eaten up with the mosquitoes that
5warmed over the sheds and wharves
till at times the air was filled with
them.
There arc something over a hundred
water barrels at various places about
the press, and wharves, which are
kept filed with water for use in case
of fire. The water which is not chang
ed often. had become satgnant, and 1t
was noticed that it was fairly alive
with wrgglers, and swarms of mos
6quitoes came out of the barrels. Each
barrel propagated a few thousands or
millions, and they had nothing better
to do than feed on the people they met
nearest their birthplace.
The result was that life became hard
ly worth living in the neighborhood.
As an experiment it was decided to
try the virtues of kerosene as an ex-
terminator. Half a gill was poured
into each barrel and from that time
the mosquito crop fell off. Hardly
native mosquito is seen about the
press wharf now and the employees are
able to live in peace.
The experiment is also being tried at
the Gordon press, but the proximity of
the Ogeechee canal and still water
ponds affords a breeding ground that
the oil does not reach. So far as
breeding from the water barrels goes,
however, the oil has put a sudden stop
to 1T.
The city is putting oil in all Of the
cesspools as they are cleaned. and it
is also being used in many yards. With
the rains of the last day or two the
mosquito will flourish and it remains
to be seen whether he is as numerous
and vicious as before the oil treatment
hogan.

proved Last Night.

The condition of little Glare Avery
who fell out of a window at the home
of her parents on Barnard street Sun
day and had an almost miraculous es-

proved yesterday and last night.

TWO BURGLARS SENTENCED.
Francis SouthwOOd and William
Roberts Pleaded Guilty.

Two criminals, who had been indicted
for burglary by the grand jury of the
Superior Court, made an acknowledge
ment of their guilt before Judge Bar
row yesterday and were sentenced to
serve a year apiece on the chain gang.
The men are Francis Southwood and
William Roberts. In each case the
crime was fairly we'll established with
out prisoners plea, but it saved the
state some trouble and doubtless ac-
counted for the reduction of the SEN
tence from a term in the penitentiary
to one on the county chain gang Both
of the prisoners were given the alter
native of paying a fine of 500 and
costs, but neither was able to make
good and they will have to serve their
terms.

THE INJUNCTION REFUSED.
Plaintiff Can Secure No Prescriptive
Right to Open Blinds.

Judge Barrow rendered a decision
yesterday in the case of Mrs. Jane E.
Funk against julius Hirsch, in which
the injunction asked for by the plain
tiff is refused and the temporary re-
straining order previously issued is dis
solved.
Mrs. Funk owns an adjoining lot to
that of Mr.. Hirsch. on jefferson street
and Perry lane: on the latter a new
building is being erected. which will
prevent the blinds of Mrs. Funks house
being opened and closed as freely as
they have been. Judge Barrow holds
that no prescriptive right of this char
acter can be secured in this state. and
therefore refused the Injunction
