Deliver Address of Welcome.
Eight Hundred New Members Made
in Georgia Last Year-Parade and
Fish supper Arranged in Honor of
Delegates.
A union meeting of the members of
all local lodges of the United Order
of Junior American Mechanics has
been called for tonight to complete
arrangements for the reception of the
delegates to the annual convention of
the State Council of the order, which
will be held in Savannah beginning
Sept. 9, and lasting through that and
the following day.
Sixty to seventy-five delegates, rep
resenting councils in all the chief cities
of the state, are expected to attend, as
well as some of the national officers
of the order. Among those to be pres
ent are State Councillor w. l.. Sim
mons of Atlanta, Vice Councillor w.
r. Holman of Savannah, Junior Past
State Councillor w. E. Grubbs of At
lanta, National Representatives j. r.
Stofer of Savannah, and H. Y. Gar
rett of Atlanta, and National Conduc-
tor E. R. Dillingham; of Atlanta.
1t is intended to have the visiting
delegates welcomed in an address
which probably will be delivered by
Mayor Herman Myers, after which
there will be a parade of the various
councils, the members attired in the
regalia of the order. The convention
is expected to be the largest one that
the order has ever held because of the
number of new councils that have been
organized during the past year. Among
the cities to be represented for the
first time are Macon, Columbus, Crit
fin and Americas.
During the past year some eight
hundred members have been added to
the order throughout the state. Sa-
vannah alone has six hundred mem
bers. In fact so large has been the
growth during the past few months
that one of the chief questions that the
convention will be called on to consider
is whether it will not be advisable to
increase the initiation fee from S.,

Choice for state Senator From First
District.

the Democratic Executive Committee on
June 6: Shelby Myrick, James Nc
Bride, T. J. Sweeny, Sam Lehwald,
Richard Wickham and Charles Gar
funkel.
Hon. James G. Moore of Grove
land, the nominee of Bryan county,
for the senatorship, will receive
the nomination. 1t is expected
that MIR. Moore will be here.
He is thoroughly en- rapport with the
Citizens Club, and any possible meas
ures that Chatham county's represen-
tatives may introduce in the House
will receive his support in the Senate.
1t is Bryan county's time for the
senatorship under the rotation system
that has prevailed for some years.
Some time ago there was talk of a
possibility of abandoning this system,
but this was based upon the idea that
Mr.. Moore might not be in accord with
the representatives from Chatham on
local questions. The knowledge that
such a fear is unreasonable leaves no
doubt that the Chatham delegation
will solidly support Mr.. Moore.

ASKS FOR WATSON'S LIBERTY.
Many Petitions for AIimony Filed I'm
Superior Court Yesterday.

Superior Court Yesterday.
Mr.. r. L. Colding, attorney for Cicero
Watson, recently tried for murder and
convicted of shooting at another not
in his own defense, filed in the Super
aor Court yesterday a motion that the
verdict be set aside and that Watson
be given his liberty. The motion sets
forth that the verdict is illegal under
the charge on which Watson was tried
Judge Barrow signed an order that the
solicitor general show cause Sept. 10
why the motion should not be granted.
Another motion that was filed in the
Superior Court was that of Messrs. c.
T. and ]. F. Cam, who ask that the
judgment against A. c. Regopoulas be
set aside. Regopulas was convicted
July 3, 1901, of selling liquor on Sun
day and was sentenced to pay $3.50
and costs and spend six months in Jail
"A motion for a new trial was made
but was overruled and the case was
then taken to the Supreme Court, which
upheld the verdict of the lower tri-
bunal.
A number of people who have mari
tai troubles also filed motions. Among
them was George w. Haight, who,
through his attorneys, Messrs. Travis
and Edwards, filed an amendment to
his petition for divorce, asking that the
privilege of marrying again be accord
ed both himself and his wife, Fanny D.
Haight. Ellen NJ. Flood asks through
her attorney, Mr. A. D. Harden, that
alimony and counsel fees be allowed
her, and Alice Walker, who is repre-
scented by Mr.. Lacy Norwood, also asks
that permanent and temporary alimony
and counsel fees be allowed her.
Annie Hoynes, whose suit for divorce
from her husband. John Hoynes, is
now pending, likewise, through her-at-
torney W. ". Clark, filed a petition for
alimeny.

EPSTEINS BUY OUT EINSTEIN.
Wholesale Dry Goods Merchants Sc
cure Wholesale Hat business.

The stock of j. r. Einstein, whole
sale dealer in hats, was bought yes
terday by l. Epstein & Bro, wholesale
dry goods merchants. For some time
negotiations had been pending, but the
contamination awaited the return of
Col. William Garrard, who has been in
New York in connection with the
trade. Mr.. Einstein is there. and Col.
Garrard and several conferences with
him.
1t is not known definitely what dis
position will be made of the stock or
the business. 1t is said that stock
company may be formed for it's con-
tinuation and the purchase of the
stock. or that Epstein & Bro. may
conduct a wholesale hat department.
1t is said, too, that the business will
be closed out.
Col Garrard said that Mr.. Epstein,
who was one of the principal creditors,
simply bought in the claims against
the firm and took the business. He
declines to give any figures. Mr.. Ep-
stein is the only creditor now and
owns the business. He may continue
it, but will probably close it out. 1t
is understood that he has already re-
ceived two offers to buy.
Mr.. Einstein retires altogether from
business. He will reside in the North,
as his health has not been good, and
he thinks the change will be beneficial.
The purchase of his business by Ep-
stein & Bro. leaves him without obli-
cations.

TALKED ABOUT SIMMONS.
Republicans Met and Discussed the
County Chairman.

A meeting of Young Republicans"
was held last night at Coleman Hall,
In the Third District. Quite a number
attended, and for some time there was
discussion relative to the refusal of
Capt. ]. C. Simmons, chairman of the
County Executive Committee of the
party, to call the committee together.
1t seems that the Republicans, or some
of them, have been making persistent
efforts to induce the chairman to as
semble the committee. but these have
been fruitless. He claims that he must
await the pleasure of Capt. L. NJ.
Pleasant. chairman of the Congress
sional Committee, before taking such
action in the county.
w. B. deCrutcher acted as chairman,
and j. d. Hughes as secretary of the
Young Republicans meeting. 1t was
finally decided that Chairman Simmons
be given opportunity on Aug. 30 to
make his defense to those of his party
who are condemning him for his po-
litical inaction.

Trouble With station Policeman.

Trouble With Station Policeman.
The arrival of a cSlored military
company, the Macon Guards, from Au-
gusta last night was the occasion of
a great outpouring of the colored peo-
pie. The local companies assembled
at the union station early in the -yen-
ing and sightseers to the number Of
probably 5000 joined them and waited
until after 10 o'clock for the visitors
who brought along a big crowd of
colOred Augustans.
Two Savannah negroes. came to grief
and were arrested by Station Pollcc-
man D. 2. Walker. They were fol-
lowed to headquarters by Major Royal
and another officer who secured tneir
release until court this morning. The
two men are Private f. Brooks, ana
Sergeant William Lawrence. charged
with disorderly conduct and resisting
an officer in the discharge II his
duty.
The soldiers said that they were not
causing any trouble and were arrested
through a misunderstanding of the Off
Ger. The private says that he was
permitted by the commander of his
company to go, into the depot to see
his wife, and as soon as he entered the
door he was taken out by officer Wal
heT ana carried 10 call DoH. Inc
sergeant's story is that he was sent
to see about the arrival of the expect
ed train, and seeing the crowd he stop
ped and inquired as to the trouble. He
was arrested for interference with the
policeman.
officer Walker said to the city off,
Ger who went to the scene in the pa
troll, that the private acted in a dis
orderly way, and that the sergeant
tried to prevent his arrest.
Shortly after these arrests the sta
ton officer found the crowd so large
that he telephoned to headquarters for
an additional patrolman who was sent
to him.

LANKENAU WANTS TO BUY.
Asks the City to sell Him the Lots
Crittenton Home Wants.


A meeting of the Committee on City
Lots will be held at the City Exchange
to-day, and the petition of the Board
of Control of the prospective Florence
Crittenton Home will probably be con-
sidered. This matter has been pending
in Council for some time. though the
Board of Control has desired that
some action be taken.
A member of the Committee on City
Lots said yesterday that an offer has
been made the city by Mr.. ]. H. Lam
kenau. who wants to buy the block
of lots at Burroughs and Thirty-sev-
enth street that the Board of Control
asked be donated by the city for the
erection of the home. Both the pros

kenau want the property, and the
committee is confronted by the diff

them. Mr.. Lankenau wants lots Nos

1t is said that the property owners
of the neighborhood do not desire the
establishment of the home at the To-
cation named. Mr.. Lankenau is one
of these property owners, and it seems

because of the belief that his own
holdings would be affected in value by
the establishment of the home.
If the property is given to the home
it will be Professionally. The Board of
Control will agree to maintain the
home upon it, and should it fail to do
50. the property would revert to the
city.
In view of the offer that the city has
from Mr. Lankenau, it is said that
other available tracts will be consid
cred with the view of making a selec-
ton for the home. The majority of
the members of the Board of Alder
men have expressed themselves as ia
vorab BILE to the petition of the Board
of Control of the home though some
think that the institution should be
some distance out from the city.
