Special TO The State.
Ab5eville, April To-day at
about 2 o clock some negro fisher
men who were fishing on Long
Cane creek about 5 miles from
Abbcville made gruesome find.
1t was the body of a negro man
with his throat cut from ear TO
ear. The wound appeared as if
it had been done with an axe.
The body had evidently been in
the water for several days, as the
skin was coming off the body
where exposed. The body is
supposed to be that of Morgan
Belche", who disappeared two
weeks ago. There is no clue 70
far as TO the preparation of the
deed.

Charleston, 5. G., April o
40, 600 people welcomed the chief
magistrate of the nation to the
South Caralina Interstate and
West Indian exposition today.
Presidents Day marked, as it was
expected to do, high water mark
IN the successful and great under
taking in which South Carolina
and Charleston are deeply inter-
ested. President Roosevelt is now
IN Summerville, S. c., before re-
turning to the national capital,
and his visit here has been every.,
thlng that the people of the city
ana directors of the exposition
had hoped that it would be. No
untoward circumstance of apv
KIND has marred the success of
the occasion, and from the day
that the President set his foot
within the city's limits until he
waved farewell to the cheering
crowd at the grounds this after
noon, his visit was all that his
hosts could have wished it to be.
The parade in his honor through
the streets of the city this morn
ing was one of the most brilliant
ana elaborate military spectacles {,
that has ever taken place in the
history of Charleston. Over g.
600 uniformed men representing
C cry branch of the national and
state military service were IN line.
The President rode for miles
through the city's streets between
solid walls of humanity, which
checred him to the echo from the
beginning to the end of his trium-
phant progress.
AT the exposition grounds in
front of the auditorium he re-
from specially prepared
platform the soldiery which had
been part of his escort and sub
sequently he presided at the ex-
erclses III his homer which were
held IN the auditorium itself. Ad-
dresses of welcome appropriate to
the occasion, were made by Pres
ident Wagner OF the exposition
and Mayor Smyth of the city of
Charleston, and Governor Aycock
OF North Carolina. President
Roosevelt himself responded in
speech which will! be long remem-
hered, not only by the people of
Charleston, but by those of the
entire South. He declared with
an emphasis that vas in no wise
that the wounds which
hHd existed in the nation were all
healed, ann that there was TODAY
Il perfectly united people.
Governor Aycock' address was
n particularly happy one and he
himself was given an enthusiastic
reception by the vast audience
which assembled in the audi
t0rium.

FOR A SUBMARINE BOAT.
savannnh's Application Filed at the
Navy Department..

Secretary of the Navy Moody has
written Capt. d. G. Purse, president
of the Savannah Board of Trade, ac-
knowledging the receipt of his letter,
transmitting the resolution adopted by
the board. requesting that the Secre-
Tary of the Navy assign one or more
of the submarine torpedo boats, which
are now being built under the direction
of the Navy Department. for the de-
Tense of the harbor of Savannah.
Secretary Moody wrote that the let
ter will be placed on file at the Navy
Department. and. when the boats be-
come the property of the government,
the resolution of the Savannah Board
of Trade and Savannah's application
will receive consideration in the as
signment for service.
Capt. Purse gives the credit of the
effort to secure one of the boats for
Savannah to Congressman Livingston.
The assistance of all the senators and
congressman has been enlisted on Sa-
vannahs behalf, and it is hoped that
one of the boats may be ordered here
Many ports are making efforts to get
them. One reason that impels them is
the interest that is felt in submarine
craft and another is the material adj
vantage that comes in a business way
from any such addition to a port.

NAMED BUILDING COMMITTEE.
Germnnia Bank Directors Talked
About a New Home.

Germnnia Bank Directors Talked
About a New Home.
The directors of the Germania Bank
met yesterday morning, and one of the
questions considered was that relating
to the erection of a new bank building
at Bull and Congress streets, on the
property purchased some time ago from
Mr.. Low. A committee consisting of
Directors George w. Tiedeman, A. P.
Solomons. Patrick Brennan, Amson
Mohr and ] F. c. Myers was put in
charge of the buildings plans.
President Henry Blum said after the
meeting that it had been decided that
the present building occupying the lot
will have to be torn down, as an inves-
tigation has shown that its foundations
are not sufficiently strong, and that it
is not adapted for remodeling to meet
the needs of the bank. Work on the
bank building, however, will not be
commenced until next year, as the
leases do not expire for some time. The
one running longest is that of the drug
store, which will not expire until Jan.
l. Some time will then be required to
tear down the old building. Capt.
Blum does not expect the new building
to be completed inside of twelve
months from Jan. l next.
1--WE have determined to erect mod
ern bank building, eight stories high"
said Capt. Blum. I'VE do not know
just how much it will cost, but we will
have it perfect in it's finish and in it's
appointment. Several architects have
been invited to submit plans, and the
committee will soon have opportunity
to judge of the relative merits of those
that may be prepared"

AUTOMOBILE RAN AMUCK.
Gasoline Flames Were Bursting
From Machine on Bull Street.

With flames shooting from its sides
an automobile ran amuck for a short
distance on Bull street near Liberty
yesterday morning, and created a great
deal of excitement. The machine did
several sky rocket stunts and ended by
dashing into a house on the northwest
corner of those streets.
The automobile was rescued by Mr..
7. A. Bryson, in front of whose place
the incident occurred, and saved from
destruction. He cut short the supply
of gasoline and prevented the burning
of the machine. A telephone message
had been sent to the central fire sta
ton and the chemical engine reached
the scene in time to see the automobile
being moved to Mr.. Bryson's place.
The machine had just been brought
into the city from Isle of Hope and
was in charge of a negro. In starting
it off he turned on a full supply of
gasoline and when a tongue of flame
shot out became frightened and jump
ed. Without any one to guide it the
automobile began cutting the capers
that attracted several hundred persons
and that ended with its trying to push
its way through a brick house.

DISEASE IN EARLY FRUIT.
Medical Profession Says Germs Are
Transmitted in This Way,

transmitted In This Way.
The familiar agitation as to the
transmission of disease through germs
and microbes infesting early fruits and
vegetables is beginning to make its an
nual appearance. From various places
have come reports of stomachic and
other troubles, which wideawake fol-
lowers of Esculapius have at once sue
ceeded in tracing to the habit of in
dulgence in green peas and luscious
berries.
Strawberries seem especially to be
under the ban of the profession. The
corrugated surface of the fruit is sup
posed to lend itself readily to the ac-
mutation of disease germs from the
passing air and to furnish these agents
of illness and death an altogether ad-
mirable means of transmission to the
systms of the people. The really sci
entific man, it is said, never eats a
berry nowadays that has not been ster-
ilized.
Some suggestion of this was made to
DR.. r. ]. Num-, the dean of the medical
profession in Savannah.
Il don't doubt it at ALL he said. II
don't know anything about it, except
what 1 have read, but it may all be
true. I've been hearing for years that
potatoes and other vegetables have so
acquired the attributes of the fertiliz-
ers used to make them grow that the
odor of these became apparent when
the vegetables were being prepared for
the table. If this is true it ought to
be easy to believe the story about the
germs"

TO JAIL FOR CONTEMPT.
The Probable Fate of Greene and
GaynOr on Arrival Here.

The Probable Fate of Greene and
GaynOr on Arrival Here.
The arrest of Greene and Gaynor
in Quebec and the sensational story of
their trip to Montreal brings the con-
viction that the time is not so far off
when they will again be back in Sa-
vannah and again on trial for the
crimes with which they are charged.
1t is believed that when they come
back it will be to go to Jail, there to
spend sixty days for contempt of
court This is the maximum punish
ment a United States judge can infiict
for such wanton disregard of his au
thority, of the dignity of his court as
have been exhibited by these defend
ants, and it is scarcely probable, in
the event that Judge Speer should see
At to try them for this offense, that he
will infict a lighter punishment.
The offense with which they are
charged is bailable and the legal opin-
ion is that bail could not properly be
refused However, it will probably be
fixed at such an amount Sat even the
defendants, with the large means at
their disposal will find it difficult to
give bond.
The dispatches say that the forward
ing of some papers connected with the
case from Savannah has been respon
sible for the delay in the institution of
proceedings against Greene and Gay
nor and local opinion has 1t that 1t was
to secure these papers that Mr.. Erwin
made his last trip to Savannah, now
about a month ago.

RAIN KEPT THEM AWAY.
Only 81 Additions to List of Regis
tered Voters Yesterday.

There were eighty-four additions to
the registration list in the office of the
tax collector yesterday. The rain prob
ably kept away many who intended
to register and this will add to the
rush to-day, tomorrow and Monday.
Monday the lists close.
The crowds are being we'll handled by
the forces of the tax collector and
very much larger number than has yet
applied in any one day could be easily
registered. With only three days more
for citizens who desire to vote at the
primary to get their names on the list
it is probable that the registry clerk
will have his hands full until the books
close.
Deputy Sheriff Meldrim was stationed
in the office yesterday to preserve or
der, and an officer will be there each
day that remains before the books
close. There were many evidences yes
terday that political passions are
reaching the red-hot stage. and it is not
at all unlikely that the presence of the
officer will be shown to be a wise pre-
caution.

SITES FOR MONUMENTS.
Chairman Damn Says Wishes of Vet
Grams Will BE Followed.

The Park and Tree Commission will
scarcely offer any objection to the use
of the north and south grass plots in
Chippewa Square for the monuments
to the memory of Gen. McLaws and
Gen. Barlow. The City Council passed
an ordinance, permitting the use of
Chippewa Square, but leaving the ex-
act locations to be fixed by the Park
and Tree Commission.
Chairman P. D. Daff1n, of the COM
mission was seen yesterday about the
matter. He said that, while he, per
sonally, believes the plots east and
west of the fountain in the square
would really be the better locations
for the monuments, neither he nor, did
he think, any of the members of the
commission are disposed to oppose the
wishes of the veterans, if they are de-
sirous to establishing the monuments
north and south of the fountain. He
said that he believes 1t is time the
question of the location of the monu-
ments were definitely and finally set
tied.
The veterans want the north and
south plots, and there will probably be
a conference of their committee with
the Park and Tree Commission within
two or three days. The foundations
will then be constructed and the mon
uments put in place for the unwilling,
which will take place on June 3. the
birthday of President Jefferson Davis
of the Confederate states.
On the occasion of the unwilling,
which will take place in the late af-
ternoon, all the military commands in
the city will participate. While there
have, as yet, been no formal invita-
lions issued to the organizations, them
commanding officers have been seen,
and all have manifested, not only
willingness, but a desire, to particl-
pate in the ceremonies.
The Oglethorpe Light Infantry will
play an important part in the cere-
monies, for the reason that it was in
command of that company that Gen.
Barlow left for the service in the Army
of Northern Virginia that cost him his
life on the battlefield of Manassas.
In recognition of Gen. Bartow's con-
nection with the Oglethorpes. 1T has
been deemed fit and proper by the Vet
Grams Committee to invite the COM
pany to act as the especial guard of
honor.
Gen. Clement A. Evans, as has been
announced in the Morning News, will
be the orator of the day. He will be
introduced by Capt. D. G. Purse, chair
man of the Veterans Committee. Col.
Jordan F. Brooks will act as marshal
of the day.

The charges made by some of the
Union Club speakers at the meeting of
Wednesday night was the one subject
of political discussion on the streets
yesterday. and it is reported that sew
eral personal difficulties were narrowly
aVerted.
The report was in industrious circu-

charges in his speech at the meeting,
had publicly retracted all he said, an
nounced that he was sorry he had
spoken at all, and rendered profuse
apologies to Mayor Myers and John ] =.
Clarity, superintendent of the scaven-
ger department.
This report, Mr.. Schwarz stated last
night, had its basis in Imagination
merely.
There is not a single word of truth
in it," he said. Il have not apologized
to anybody, and I still maintain the
justice and the truth of everything 1
said at the meeting"
