MAY MEAN NEW JOB
FIRE sUPr. MAGUIRE WANTS AN
ELECTRICIAN OF HIS OWN.
SAYS CLAIBORNE WON'T DO.
ONE MAN CAN'T SERVE BOTH PO-
LICE AND FIRE PROPERLY.

Fire Chief Wrote GnmewelI People
That Dissatisfaction Was Being
Expressed at the Manner i'm Which
Their Fire and Police Systems Are
Operated Although Letter Was
Unofficial the GameweII People
Used 1t In Such a Way That EIec-
trician Claiborne Learned OF Its
tiOn.
Charging that Electrician w. D. Clai-
borne has not efficiently, or satsfac-
torily, discharged the duties of cleo
John f. Mcguire will recommend in
his annual report to the Mayor that
the police and fire departments have
separate electricians.
This fact became known and was
discussed yesterday morning, after
Electrician Claiborne had called upon
Supt. Mcguire at fire headquarters.
The fire chief refused to either deny
or affirm the report, or to discuss in
any way the unsatisfactory condition
of affairs in the electrical branch of
his department.
Under the present arrangement. Mr..
Claiborne looks after the police Game
we'll system as well as the fire alarm
system. Supt. Mcguire contends that
one man cannot properly serve both
departments, and has said so more
than once. The electricians services
II, ks,.e, L.
fire department, and Acting Foreman
Arthur Hancock was assigned to do
the work.
Supt. Mcguire and Electrician Clai-
borne had a conference some time aft
erwards, and Hancock was put back
on regular duty. 1t is stated that at
that time the regular electrician was
given to understand that he would
have to pay more attention to the fire
alarm system. Some time ago Supt.
Mcguire was informed that there was
some dissatisfaction about the work of
the electrician in the police depart
ment. 1t was stated that Claiborne
was not giving the department as much
of his time as he should.
The fire chief is quite friendly with
the Gamewell people, and he wrote
them a personal letter about the
trouble in Savannah. He wrote them
as UP ana ADVISED that a man
be sent here to inspect both systems,
and ascertain the real trouble Su-
perintendent Maguire's letter was for
warded to the company's representa-
tive, an electrician at Macon, and in
structions were given to look into the
situation.
1t appears that the representative
and Mr. Claiborne know each other
very well, and that the Savannah
electrician learned from his friend in
Macon yesterday morning what was
going on. AS soon as he received the
information Claiborne called upon SUI
perintendent Mcguire and the matter
was discussed at length, So far as
could be learned no understanding
was reached, and 1t was said that the
fire chief still insisted that one man
cannot properly care for both depart
ments
1t appears to be Superintendent Ma
CURES idea to have an electrician for
the fire department only, and have
such man sleep in one of the fire
stations. Acting Foreman Hancock is
said to be slated for the place In
the meantime there has been talk OF
an investigation before Mayor Myers
at the request of one of the interested
persons.

TAX COLLECTORS BOND
WITH THE GOVERNOR.
Arrived Yesterday Afternoon and
Was Forwarded at Once.

Arrived Yesterday Afternoon and
Was Forwarded at Once.
The official bond of Tax Collector
Thomas F. Thomson viii be received
by Gov. Terrell to-day. The bond was
received from the surety company in
Baltimore yesterday afternoon, and
was Immediately filed with Judge
Henry McAlpin, who forwarded it to
Atlanta last night
The receipt of the bond was delayed
because of the lateness of the south
bound train, and by reason of the for
mality which was required by the
surety company, the application for the
renewal of the bond going through the
same channels as the original bond.
Until recently Mr.. Thomson. had
thought that the bond which he gave
last April was all that would be re-
quired of him, and when informed that
he would be obliged to give a new
bond on the date of his election to
office, he applied at once to the agent
of the surety company for the re-
newal.
To avoid the raising of the point,
Mr. Thomson gave the bond required
of him, though he still maintains that
liie DOuu given Dy MIN last ApIn al
fords the state ample protection, and
remains operative until the expiration
of one year after the date of it's exc
cution. The amount of bond required
of him is $4,000, his surety being the
United States Fidelity and Guaranty
Co. of Baltimore.
The law requires that in the event of
the failure of tax collector or tax re-
ceiver to file his bond with the Gov
ernor on or before the 31st day of De-
cember, the Governor shall declare the
office vacant and declare another cleo
ton. For this reason Mr. Thomson,
while protected in his position by hav-
ing made every effort to secure the
required bond, was especially anxious
to receive his bond, and he was graft
fed by its arrival yesterday afternoon.

A SAVANNAH THEOSOPHIST
Was Architect of School of Lost
Mysteries of Antiquity.

The libel suit between Mrs. Tingley,
the head of the Point Iona Colony of
theosophists, and the San Francisco
Times, which is exciting an unusual
amount of interest throughout the
country has a special interest for Sa-
vannahians because of the fact that
one of the prominent members of the
colony is Savannahian, who left this
city some two years ago to join the
colony and has since been a member
of it.
The man is Mr.. S. A. Charpiot, until
he resigned his place to go to Cali
fornia, head of the drafting Office of
the Central of Georgia Railway He
went to California to become supervis-
ing architect of the building for the
School of the Lost Mysteries of An
tiquity. which has figured so conspicu-
ously In the trial that is now going on.
Mr.. Charpiot was so completely
wrapped up in theosophy, so his for
mer companions in this city state that
it was with difficulty that he could be
induced to talk of anything else. and
even when other subjects demanded
his attention he managed to drag in
his hobby before the end of the con-
versation.
When he went to California 1t was
not with any idea of receiving compen-
sation for his work. In fact it was un-
derstood that there was to be none, as
each member of the fraternity is, it
seems, expected 10 devote time, talent
and money to the furtherance of the
objects of the association.
Mrs. Charpiot accompanied her hus-
band, not through any sympathy with
his ideas, however. but because she
felt it her place to go, inasmuch as she
could not dissuade him from going. So
far from being theosophist. she was
a member of the Baptist Church. and
just before leaving requested some of
her former associates, members of
that church. to pray both for her and
her husband.

Doomed Hen, and Whit Owoas
and Bin jackson the Life
Time Prisoners

Oxford. Miss. Jan. l1-As o result
on she killing OF John A. and Hugh
Monts ,mery ON Nov. 16 last VIII
Mathis Aad Orlando Lester are to
hang. Whit Owens and Bill Jackson
are to be imprisoned for life and
George Jackson is to serve two years
in the state penitensiary.
The fourth and last OF the Mont
gomery cases was disposed of Friday
night when the Bill Jackson jury
brought in verdict of guilty as charg
ed in the indictment and assessing the
penalty at life imprisonment.
While the jury was out George Jack
son. brother of Bill, was arraigned,
charged with aiding Mathis in his at
tempt to escape. He pleaded guilty to
the charge and was sentenced by
Judge Lowrey to two years imprison.
ment In the penitentiary.
An impressive scene was enacted
when Mathis, Owens, George Jackson
and Lester were brought before the
court for sentence. Answering the
courts question as to why sentences
should not be passed on them, Whit
Owens had nothing to say. Mathis
said be was not guilty. Lester was sto-
ical and George Jackson pleaded that
an anxiety over his brothers being
connected with the crime had per
suaded aim to aid Mathis In his at
tempt TO escape.
Judge Lowery promptly sentenced
Owens to life Imprisonment, George
Jackson to two years and Mathis and
Lester to hang Friday, Feb. II.
The defense OF Bill Jackson was q
strong one. The jury occupied only
one hour in reaching its verdict, how
ever. anil life sentence will be passed
on Jackson. Some commotion was
caused by the loud lamentation OF Mrs
Mathis when her husband was brought
up for sentence.
