ENOUGH RAILWAYS
THIS SECTION HAS AS MANY AS 1T
CAN SUSTAIN.
so PRESIDENT EGAN SAYS.
QUESTIONS WISDOM OF ATLANTIC
SAVANNAH AIR LINE.

Central Railways President Said
Whether Construction of Projected
Line Would Cut Into CentraTr
Earnings or Whether the Air Line
Would Eventually Become n Bank
rupt ROad-DOes Not Know Wheth-
er Plans of the Promoters Will BE
Carried Out-CentraI Bound by Its
Charter, Mr.. Egan said, to Run
Over Its Present Main Line, and
There Would Be No Cut-OH Com
structed.
Il believe there are about as many
railway lines built through this sec
ton as the country is now able to
sustain. There is plenty of room for
more lines. but the question is as to
the business that would be provided
for them if they were built. I do not
know what the effect of the projected
Savannah and Atlanta Air Line would
be if it were built I don't know wheth-
er the Central Railway would be Sc
riously affected in it's earnings or
whether the new road itself would be-
come bankrupt. I do not know wheth-
er or not 1t will ever be built"
President John M. Egan of the Gem
trail Railway had been asked what he
thought about the line from Atlanta
to Savannah that is projected by At
lanta capitalists. who propose to run
it by route that would considerably
reduce the distance between the two
cities, as it now exists, over the Cen
trail and other roads. Mr.. Egan con-
siders that there are already quite
enough lines between Savannah and
Atlanta, instancing the Central, the
Plant System, in connection with the
Southern, the Seaboard Air Line, in
connection with the Southern, and the
Georgia Railroad in connection with
the Atlantic Coast Line, which will
soon have the Plant System.
In view of the projected short line,
MIR. Egan was asked if the Central in
the event the projects were carried out
would shorten its own line, as has Of
ten been talked of, by an extension of
the Brewton and Pinero. He answered
that the companys charter is such as
to compel ii to operate over it's line
dS Duiilt anu Alldl II 10 llOb pA OpOoNu ~
at any time cut down the service over
the present main line. Instead of re-
ducing the number of trains or cutting
down the service in any way on any
part of the system. he declared that it
is the policy and the effort of the COM
pany to increase them and improve the
service.
Mr.. Egan has just returned from a
trip over the Central system, going as
far as Birmingham and Chattanooga.
He was we'll pleased with the general
conditions as he found them. He was
particularly impressed by the cotton
crop, which gave every appearance Of
being in a nourishing condition. Ev-
erywhere, Mr.. Egan said, there is evil
dence of the material prosperity of the
country.

FOR TORPEDO BOAT.
Board of Trade United in Movement
To Secure station For Savannah.

Board of Trade United in Movement
To Secure station For Savannah.
The Savannah Board of Trade has
united in the movement to secure the
esta blishment of one of the new tor
pedo boat stations at Savannah, and
a copy of the resolution passed by the
Board of Trade, requesting the Secre-
tary of the Navy to place one of the
stations here, has been forwarded to
Representative Lester. Copies have
been sent also to the Secretary of the
Navy direct and to the Senators and
Representatives from this state.
The resolution was passed by the
Board of Trade on Friday and is as
follows:
Whereas, the extent and value of
the commerce of the port of Savannah
should entitle it to every form of pro-
lection from the rational government,
at all times, therefore,
The Savannah Board of Trade eat
nestly request the Honorable Secre-
tary of the Navy to assign one or
more of the Holland submarine tor
pedo boats, which are now being built
under the direction of the Navy De-
partment, for the dense of the harbor
of Savannah, and that the senators
and representatives in Congress from
Georgia be and they are hereby re-
quested to urge upon the Honorable
Secretary of the Navy the justice of
the prayer of the Savannah Board of
Trade, in view of the large and stead
lily growing commerce centering at Sa-
vannah, and
THAT a copy of this request be
transmitted by our president to the
Honorable Secretary of the Navy and
one also to each senator and represen-
tative in Congress from Georgia"
The indications seem to be favorable
to the establishment of such a station
in Savannah, than which proba bly, no
more appropriate location could be
suggested. Col. Lester has interested
himself in the moVemnt and there
seems every good prospect of success.

HIS INJURIES FATAL.
A. RavIston Never Regained Com
seriousness After Accident.


From injuries received in the Pier
pont Manufacturing Company's tub
factory of which he was superintend-
ent. on last Wednesday morning, A.
Rawlston, of Nashville, died at the Sa-
vannah Hospital late yesterday after
noon.
Mr.. Rawlston never regained con-
seriousness, and at no time was it be-
lieved that he would recover. A piece
of wood had become jammed in a saw
and the superintendent was endeavor-
ing to throw belt from a pulley when
the accident that terminated with his
death occurred. Mr.. Rawlston was
Fastening to stop the saw and prevent
damage to the machinery when he
slipped and fell.
His left arm was caught in the belt
and fractured in several places, and he
was hurled violently to the ground. His
left side was badly mashed and he suf-
fered internal injuries. His head was
also crushed and conclusion of the
brain resulted. The unconscious man
was taken to the Savannah Hospital in
the police ambulance and received
prompt medical attention. His injuries
were at once pronounced fatal and he
did not rally once.
Mr.. Rawlston came TO Savannah
about three months ago from Nash
Vile and superintendent the building of
the tub factory. which was only put
into operation last week. He assumed
charge of that branch Of the Pierpont
Manufacturing Company's plant and
was highly though Of by those under
whom he was employed. Mr. Rawlston
resided with his family at No 204
Gwinnett street, east, and besides a
widow leaves two interesting little
children. His remains will be shipped
to-day TO Nashville for interment.

SPEER WILL NOT COME.
Greene and GHynOr Bonds Will Not
be Forfeited Tomorrow.

BE Forfeited Tomorrow.
There will be no session of the United
States District Court here tomorrow,
though it is the day fixed for the con-
vening of the May term. Judge Speer
has announced that he will not hold
court now and that no time has yet
been decided upon for the term to con-
Vene.
This means that the actual forfeiture
of the bonds of Benjamin D. Greene
and John f. Gaynor will not take place
now, though in the event the defend
ants file no answer, showing cause why
the rule nisi previously granted should
not be made absolute, a rule absolute
will follow as a matter of course when
ever the court convenes in Savannah.
1t is probable, however, that the an
SWer Will be filed to-day or tomorrow.
The defendants and the sureties on
the bonds have announced their inten-
ton of fighting the bonds collection
and they will not suffer the battle to
go by default. The surety on Greene's
bond is James d. Leary of New York
while William B. Kirk of Syracuse oc-
cupies a similar position on that of
Gaynor. Mr.. Leary has died since the
bond was given, but his estate will
make the fight. Both bonds are for
10000
In the effort to avoid the payment of
the bonds the defendants and their
sureties are represented by Fielder &
Rountree, of Atlanta. Their Savannah
counsel, du Bienon & Stephens and
Walter G. Charlton. seem to have with
drawn from the case. At any rate they
are taking neither part nor interest in
this phase of it.
In the uncertainty over the appear
ance of Judge Speer no cases have been
assigned save those in bankruptcy. all
of which had been placed on the dock
ct for trial or other disposition to-mor-
row. These will now have to be heard
at Macon. whittier the lawyers inter
estad will make their pilgrimage, or
else await the time when Judge Speer
comes next to Savannah
