FOUR YEARS FOR ROBBERY.
Jury Could Not Believe John Bin
yards Astute Alibi.

Jury Could Not Believe John Bin
yards Astute Alibi.
John Binyard was tried in the Su-
perior Court yesterday morning for
robbery found guilty by the jury and
sentenced by Judge Barrow to serve
four years in the penitentiary. The
crime for which Binyard was tried and
of which he was convicted involved
the forcible deprivation of Aleck Mitch
ell of a pocket knife and S1.15 in money.
The case reduced itself down to a
question of veracity between Binyard
and Mitchell. Mitchell swore positive
~ that Binyard and another negro had
held him up at the points of reVolVerS
and made him deliver everything he
had about him. He swore positively
and unequivocally that he recognized
Binyard. whom he had known for years
and whose features he could not pos
sibly have mistaken.
In his own behalf Binyard said he
was not anywhere about the scene of
the crime at the time of its commits
sion. He formulated a good alibi in his
statement, but as II involved the pres
ence of others, who were not produced
20 substantiate It's truth, the jury
found it impossible probably to give it
credence. They preferred TO believe the
story of Mitchell, which bore in its re-
cital every appearance Of being the
exact truth.
Mich Mcintosh was tried for using
profane and abusive language to c. D.
Waters, a trolley car conductor. The
language was said in the indictment
to have been of a character tending
to provoke a breach of the peace and
the sample of it that was given GER
tainly bore out this averment.
Mcintosh had heen once before tried,
in the City Court on the former occa-
sion. for using this language in the
presence of ladies and his counsel filed
yesterday a plea of former jeopardy.
The jury decided on the trial of this
issue that the offenses were not iden-
teal and the defendant was compelled
to go to trial on the merits. He was
found guilty and sentenced to serve a
term of twelve months on the gang.

A meeting of the Savannah Board of
Trade was held yesterday morning for
the consideration of the proposed
change in the charges made by rail-

making it incumbent upon the roads to
charge upon a basis of five miles, in
stead of a specific sum, has been pro-
posed.
There was considerable discussion
about the proposed change, and the
meeting agreed that it would be better
TO have the rule remain as it is. Pres
ident D. G.. Purse was authorized TO
address a letter to the Railroad Com
mission. expressing the views of the
Board of Trade. This letter, addressed
to Chairman S. r. Atkinson, was as

The second day of the convention Of
the Georgia Federation of Labor was
filled with interesting incidents. The
policies of internal improvement for
which the federation stands found in
the discussions of yesterday. sturdy en-
the hands of the delegates to the con-
vention.
Chief among these seemingly are the
adoption by the legislature of the state
of a child labor bill and the abolition
of the convict lease system. During
the day half a dozen resolutions were
presented that in one form or another
urged upon the laboring men of the
state earnest and unremitting effort
towards securing the adoption of meas
ures accomplishing these reforms.
The last session of the convention
will be held this morning. The prin-
cipal business remaining to be trans
acted is the election of officers and the
selection of a place for the next meet
ing. The announcement made yester-
day by President Gredig that he would
not permit the use of his name as
candidate for reelection practically

DRUMMERS AND BUGLERS.
Met Inst Night at the Regime nta1
ArmOry to Organize.

A meeting for the organization of
drum and bugle corps as an adjunct to
the band of the First Regiment was
held last night at the Regimental Ar
mory. Capt. Walter E. Coney. adju-
tant, under whose management the
corps will be, presided over the meet
ing.
About twenty-five We're present.
These were men and boys, there being
great interest in the plan. 1t was the
desire of the officers to have men and
youths in the corps, so that the
younger boys will not have a chance
al the honor until they grow older. In
the meantime, however. they will be
given opportunity to gain instruction
and training, so that they will. IN
time, be fitted for places in the corps.
Capt. Coney informed the meeting
that the drums will be ordered to-day
There will be four of them, all of a
deep bass, so that there will be suf-
ficient volume of sound. 1t is possible
that this number will be increased if
need is found. Mr.. ]. Z. Myers, who
has had experience in drumming in the
regular service, has volunteered to in
struct the applicants. and this instruc-
ton will commence next week. A cor
netist of the band will instruct the
buglers in thei rwork.
Capt. Coney was greatly encouraged
by the enthusiasm that was displayed.
He considers that it will be a matter of

Merchants Decided to Make L
O'Clock the Closing Hour.
A meeting of the Retail Merchants
Association was held yesterday after
noon at the Screven House, Mr.. Leo
pold Adler, the president, presiding.
Routine matters We're considered by
the merchants, the only special bust
ness receiving their attention being the
closing of their stores on July 4. 1t
was determined to close at l o'clock in
the afternoon.
There was some talk about closing
for the entire day, but this was not
agreed upon because it is usually the
case that the railroads run several ex-
cursions to Savannah on July 4. The
merchants felt that they could not af-
ford to lose all the business that the
excursionists would bring.
The national bankrupt law was not
brought up. The merchants of Savan-
nah, almost to a man, are opposed to
the law, but they did not see that any
action they might take would be fol-
lowed by the repeal of the measure or
that any influence would be exerted.
