THE RECEIVERS DISCHARGED.
Successfully Administered Assets OF
Dixon, Mitchell - Co.

Judge Barrow signed an order in the
Superior Court yesterday discharging
James NJ. Dixon and William l.. Will
son, receivers of the firm of Dixon,
Mitchell & Co. The receivers have
most successfully indicated the wis
dom of their appointment.
Since their assumption of the duties
of the position to which they were
named the business of the firm has
been wound up and every liability has
been met. A considerable amount of
assets remained and by the order of
the court, in accordance with tn agree
ment of dissolution between the part
ners, tehse will be turned over to Mer-
rift w. Dixon. There is AN exception
of certain land in Echols county,
which is to be transferred to Henry
Mitchell.
The receivers served without com
pensation and their conduct of the
trust committed to them certainly
serves to vindicate the method of ad-
ministering quasi bankrupt assets in
the state courts. They have not only
discharged all the liabilities but have
saved something for the members of
the firm.

CHANGES IN POST0FFICE.
Location of Windows to Be Changed
nhd New Boxes Added.

ana New Boxes Added.
A number of Changes will soon be
made in the interior arrangement of
the postoffice, all of which are design
ed to afford greater convenience to the
public and to the office force. The
treasury department has Informally
agreed to make the changes and for
NAL action only remains to be taken
before the work will begin.
The stamp window is to be removed
from its present position at the Bull
and President street corner of the
building to a point just west of the
drop boxes of the mailing department
With this change a person buying
stamps will be able to place them on
his letters and drop them directly in
the box, without having to walk the
length of the building to accomplish
such a purpose.
The space now occupied by the stamp
window will be occupied by 100 new
boxes, which will be placed in position
to meet the constantly increasing de-
mand for this postal convenience. The
boxes will be six by five inches in size,
which is the size most favored by bust
ness men. 1t is believed that the adj
ditional box space thus allowed will
meet the demands of the next few
years.
The money order. department is to be
brought out flush with the line of the
rest of the windows, and the little cud-
dy hole in which the patrons of this
department now retire when they de-
sire to speak to the clerks, is to be
done away with completely. The room
is entirely unnecessary, and it's only
visible result has been to force the
clerks to work in darkness or by arti-
fetal light. With the change will come
increased space and light for the clerks
of the department. and a greater de-
gree of ease and convenience to the
general public. 1Lt
The size of the package drop, now
entirely inadequate to the reception of
packages above the medium in dimen-
sions, is to be increased.
Another improvement contemplated is
the placing of storm doors, of the re-
volving pattern. in the Bull and Pres
ident street entrances to the building.
These will be installed at once, but
will probably not be used until next
winter. They will add much to the
comfort of the postoffice, the corridor
of which, on a cold day in winter, is
not a model in the matter of tempera-
turo.
Postmaster Blum discussed these
changes and improvements, among 9TH
ers he thinks the postoffice needs, with
the officials of the Treasury Depart
ment, when he was last in Washington
1t was then agreed that they should be
made and compliance with some few
formalities IS all that stands in the
way of the beginning of the work.

CON MAN GOT WATCH AND $40.
RosenthaI Alias Morrison Posed rs
Promoter From Atlanta


The police of this city are very an
xious to find the whereabouts os Myer
Rosenthal. alias Gordon E. Morrison,
who is said to have worked the con-
fidence game on Miller Brothers, Of
Savannah, who recently opened a
stationery store on Congress street, be-
tween Jefferson and Barnard streets.
Rosenthal came here about a week
ago and introduced himself to a num-
Der of persons, as a promoter from
Atlanta, and said that he wanted to
find some good business in which to
invest some money. He said that he
was an expert oculist, but that lie
was anxious to change his line.
He met the Miller Brothers and pro-
ceeded t. give them some information
as to how they could make a barrel Of
money If he was taken into the bust
ness. OF course the little matter of
putting up $500 did not matter to
him and he sent on to Atlanta for
the money after the proposition he
had made was accepted
Within day or two he displayed a
letter from Atlanta saying that the
money would arrive shortly
In casual sort of way RosenthaI
mentioned the fact, one day in the ear
ly part of the week. that he was a
little short of change, and thought
that ten dollars would be enough to
buy cigarettes with. The money was
forthcoming and then he began to adj
mire a watch worn by one of his pros
pective partners. He said that he
wanted to buy it, but Mr.. Miller would
not consent to SELL He told Rosenthal
that the watch was worth nearly 5000,
but Rosenthal scoffed at the idea, and
said it was not worth anything like
that amount. To prove his argument
he took possession of the watch, and
said he would ascertain its value by
having ii examined by a jeweler. Mr.
Miller let him have it, and If Rosen-
thai took it to a jeweler he must have
gone long distance as he hasn't been
seen since.
Detective Stark searched Rosenthars
apartments and found a bank book
on an Atlanta bank showing that the
account had amounted to $3.50. 1t was
in this way that Stark learned Nor
rison's" correct name.
Detectives are looking for ''Mor-
rison" and Chief of Police Reilly has
telegraphed description of the man
to nearby cities.

GEORGIA EDITORS AT TYBEE.
Arrived Here One Hundred Strong
and Went to Seashore.


and Went to Seashore.
The members of the Georgia Week
ly Press Association arrived in Sa-
vannah from Quitman over one hun
dred strong shortly after II o'clock
last night.
The editors, accompanied by their
wives and members of their families
left Quitman. where they have been
holding their annual convention, aft
er the closing session yesterday mora
ing.
The party was in charge of Mr.. w.
S. Coleman, who was for the tenth
consecutive time elected president of
the association before the convention
closed yesterday. Mr.. Coleman stated
to a reporter for the Morning News
that the convention had been highly
successful Notwithstanding the very
hot weather. He said that many of
the editors from the northern part of
the state had been more or less affect
ed by the heat. but that things went
along very smoothly nevertheless.
MI OOleIHdH Sdlu Iudl the SuCCSSS
of the convention was due in no small
measure to the efforts of Mr.. ]. C.
Halle, general passenger agent of the
Central of Georgia Railway. and the
other railroad men. who had done
everything in their power to contrib
ute to the comfort of the editors.
TWO special trolley cars met the ed
itors at the Union Station and con-
veyeG them to the Tybee depot, where
they took a special train for the island.
The m"mhf-' of the association will
remain al TSbee for several days. :
number of them will leave for their
homes to-day and tomorrow, but the
majority of them will remain at Ty-
bee until Saturday.
Mr.. Coleman is well known among
Georgia editors as proprietor of the
Cedartown Standard.

From Architects, Six of Whom
Were Heard by the Committee Yes
terday.
The plans drawn by Mr.. G. L. Norr-
man of Atlanta for the Citizens Bank
branch building were approved by the
board of directors. yesterday
morning. The work on the build
ing will begin as soon as possible, as
it is the desire of the bank, President
Mills B. Lane said, to occupy it not
later than Jan. l, and, if possible, by
Dec l.
Some day next week notice will be
given contractors as to the time for
the submission of their bids upon the
work. Plans and specifications are
now in the hands of contractors, who
are making up their estimates in or
der to decide upon the amounts for
which they would undertake the con-
struction of the building.
1t is very probable that the build
ing will be six stories high. The sixth
story is wanted for the Central Rail
ways engineering department. The
company contracted tos use such por
tions of the building as may not be
required for the banks purposes.
This, however, was when the plans
were for a five-story building. The
accounting forces and the treasurer's
and the paymaster's forces were TO
have the space in the five-story BUILD
ing not needed by the bank, but the
company has since found that 1t
would also prefer to have the engineer
ing forces domiciled there.
The branch bank will be located
floor All the rest of the building win
be turned over to the Central Railway
Company. Rooms for the directors
win be established, and the meetings
of the board will be held there.
The new building, which is to stand
on the northwest corner of Liberty
and Montgomery streets, will be sim
liar in appearance to the main build
ing of the bank on Drayton and Bryan
streets, which is five stories high. If
an extra story is added to the new
building it will be one story higher
than the main bank building.
Mr. Lane did not doubt that the
work could be finished by Jan. l. He
said that there will be no steel work
for which the builders will have to
wait, as, unlike the main building. the
new one is not to be freproof.

GERMANIA BANK PLANS.
Were Submitted by Six Architects to
Directors Committee.

Directors Committee.
The Building Committee of the board
of directors of the Germania Bank held
a long session yesterday morning to
inspect the designs submitted by six
architects and listen to their arguments
and explanations TO show why the plans
of each should be decided upon. Not
until 1870 O'Clock did the committee get
a breathing spell. The plans were left
with the committee. which will con-
slider them carefully before reporting
to the board and recommending the set
that, in its opinion. should be adopted.
Plans We're submitted by the follow
ing architects: H. w. Witcover. Sa-
yannah; Frank P. Milburn, Columbia
Bruce and Morgan, Atlanta; G. l..
Norman, Atlanta: H. j. Klutho, jack
sonville; Rutledge Holmes, Jackson
vile. Plans were expected from Now
bray of Uffinger. New York; Charles
Mcmillan, New York. and York &
Sawyer, New YORK. These, however,
are yet to arrive.
Opportunity was given each of the
architects submitting designs to ex-
plain them. About half an hour was
consumed by each. so that the COM
1nittee had quite enough of plans for
one day. Estimates of the cost of each
structure shown by the designs were
submitted by the architects. The aver
age of the estimates was about S150, 900.
The Germania Bank is to build its
new home at the southwest corner of
Congress and Bull streets. 1t is to be
an eght-story structure of steel and
Georgia marble. and it is expected that
it will be finished in time for oceu-
pancy by Oct. /, 1908.
