ROOM FOR ROADWAY
Would BE LEFT IN EMMETT PARK
AFTER WALKS WE'RE LAID.
CAN'T STOP WALK-LAYING.
THAT IS ALDERMAN HORRIGAN'S
VIEW OF THE CONTROVERSY.

Alderman Horrignn Does Not See
the City From Laying Sidewalks
VIII Rest-If n Roadway Is Wanted
There VIII Be a Chance for Prop
erty Owners to Seek 1t After walks
Are Laid-NOt Yet Known What
the Plan of Action of Those OPP
posed to the Improvement VIII Be.
Chairman Dafnn of the Park and
Tree Commission Talks of Trees.
Nobody has any right to prevent
the city from laying sidewalks" said
Alderman Horrigan, speaking of the
Emmett Park controversy, yesterday.
81 can't see what objection anybody
can have to the park being improved
with walks, as contemplated by the
plan that has been adopted by the City
Council. The city can certainly lay
walks in the public domain, if it sees
fit.
IF the property owners and occu-
PANTS of buildings on the north side of
the Strand want a roadway running
approach to their places on a level
with Bay street, why don't they take
scme other means of getting it than
trying to stop the laying of walks
There will be room enough for a road
way left after the plan is carried out.
The roadway and the walks are diff
ferent matters altogether.
ST don't in
junction will be sought. 1 have heard
that something of the sort has been
considered, but it remains to be seen
what will be done"
Alderman Horrigan has long been a
staunch advocate of the Improvement
of Emmett Park. He is a member of
the committee under which it is to be
improved.
1t is not known what the opposi-
ton to the plan of improvement will
do. Messrs. George T. and J. F. Cam
are still silent upon the question.
Chairman Dafin of the Park and Tree
Commission is equally as reticent. He
said that the Emmett Park matter will
be discussed at the monthly meeting
of the commission tomorrow after
noon.
Mr.. Daff1n was told of a criticism
that has been offered regarding the
commissions practice of transplanting
old trees, that have had their trunks
trimmed bare of branches, this criti-
cism being that such trees never re-
vive entirely, and, as they put out no
large limbs, become nothing more than
green poles.
THAT is absurd, with all respect
for whoever offers such a criticism"
said Mr. Daffin. at is plain that he
does not know very much of forestry
Instances were cited by Mr.. Daffin
to show that such transplanted trees
have fiourished, and, within three or
four years, have put out branches
whose leaves afford dense shade.

WOMAN, HACK AND DRIVER.
In Runaway Mix-up About which
Stories Don't Agree.


Stories Don't Agree.
A juvenile driver, a wild hack-horse
and an inebriated woman were a COM
bination that caused considerable ex-
element at the corner of Broughton
and Drayton streets last night shortly
before IL o'clock. AS a result the wo-
man was taken to her home with an
ugly cut under the left eye and badly
bruised nose: the boy is safely con-
fined in the police barracks, and the
hack and horse are much the worse
for wear. 40
The woman. who had just returned
from a short trip to AbbeviIle. S. c..
claims that she hired the conveyance
at the Union Station. When near the
corner of Broughton and Drayton
streets the horse ran away The
wheels of the hack struck a post, the
hack was thrown to one side and the
woman was thrown out on the pave
ment. The frightened animal tore him
self from the hack. breaking shafts
and harness, and ran some distance
before he was stopped. The woman
was taken into a drug store and her
wound dressed. after which she was
taken to her home.
The boys version of the affair is en-
tirely different from the one given by
the woman. He says that he is not the
owner of the hack, but that while
walking down Drayton street he was
hailed by two white men in the hack
who asked him to hold the horse for a
few minutes. The woman was with
them. They got out of the hack and
were gone for some time, during
which time the horse. becoming
frightened at a passing car ran away.
He says ne does not know who the
owner of the hack is but thinks that
it belongs to negro named Major
Hamp.
At the barracks two charges were
entered against the boy, one for fast
and reckless driving and the other for
stealing a horse and hack

LAUNDRY TO BE SOLD.
Property Passes From Bankruptcy
Trustee to Receiver.

The plant and other property of the
Savannah Steam Laundry passed yes
terday from the control of the trustee
in bankruptcy, T. s. WILLY, Jr., by
whom it has ben operated since the
company was adjudicated bankrupt
last May, to that of W. F. McCauley,
appointed receiver by an order grant
ed by Judge Barrow in the Superior
Court
The bankruptcy court approved the
sale of the interest of the creditors to
Mr.. McCauley and surrendered further
jurisdiction of the property. The oper-
alton of the laundry will not be inter-
fered with by the transfer of manage
ment, but will continue, under the
courts order, as it has in the past.
The mortgaged property will be adj
vertised for sale and sold on the first
Tuesday in September, but Mr.. Nc
Cauley will, in the meantime, operate
the plant as a going concern. 1t is
understood the business of the Savan
nah Steam Laundry has always paid.
but, through unfortunate circumstan-
unable to meet some of it's obligations
and proceedings in bankruptcy ensued
The present employees of the laundry
Will be retained and the plant will be
operated as heretofore.
The order granted by Judge Barrow
was in the foreclosure proceedings in
stituted by the Savannah Bank and
Trust Company, trustee for the bond
holders, against the Savannah Steam
Laundry Company. 1t was consented
to by all concerned in the administra-
ton of the property and the distribu-
ton of its assets.
The property involved includes three
lots of land on the corner of Lumber
and West Boundary streets, on which
the plant is located. A building con-
veniently arranged houses the engines
and laundry machinery, which latter
is of recent pattern and designed for
the accommodation of an extensive
business
The order directs the sale of the
property after due advertisement and
directs the distribution of the fund
arising from the saIc. The distribution
is to be made by the receiver as fol-

ers would receive had the entire price

RIFLEMEN AT THE RANGE.
Many Are Trying to Get on Company
and RegimentaI Teams.

Many Are Trying TO Get on Company
and RegimentaI Teams.
More rinemen were at the range yes
terday afternoon than. in all probable
ity, had been seen there this season.
At every range and at the skirmish
there were many shooting. 1t was
plain that something out of the or
binary was responsible for the crowd,
and this. the officers declared, was the
interstate rifle shoot that is to be held
the latter part of this month
Nearly every command in the city
had members on the range. The First
Regiment, the Savannah Volunteer
Guards and the Georgia Hussars were
we'll represented. Officers and the
more experienced Of the marksmcn
were coaching the less expert, shots and
some promise was shown by new men.
The honor of representing their reg
iment or their company in the matches
sthat are to be shot is sought by many
of the men, Those who make the best
scores and show the best work from
now until the time the shoot is held
will be chosen upon the teams.
1t is the purpose of several of the
company commanders to form tenta-
tive teams of eight or ten men very
soon, who are to be trained especially
with the view of fitting them for the
competition. After this training has
continued for some time, the five to
constitute a company's team Will be
selected, and work on them will be
continued
The Guards, the First Regiment, In
fantry, and the First Regiment Cav
airy, will probably designate an officer
of each command to assume charge of
the commands team to compete in the
regimental match. This will be open
to teams of six men each, and to Sc
cure a place upon one of the teams will
be no slight honor.
Good work was done by some of the
best marksmen. Private r. c. Fetzer
of the Guards and Private r. j. Ira
Wis of the Cadets made big scores.
Fetzer, without having had any prac-
tice. made 1854, while Travis was but
one point behind him. Travis had al
ready qualified as an expert sharp
shooter. but 1853 outstripped his pre-
Vious shooting.
In order to further advertise the In
terstate shoot and to afford strangers
an opportunity to judge of what sort
of a range Savannah has, pictures
were made by Capt. M. Ed. Wilson.
These took in the entire range with all
of the targets up and soldiers busy
with their firing.

CITYS OFFER ACCEPTED.
Trolley Company VIII Pave East
Broad Street for Double Track,

Broad Street for Double Track
The Savannah Electric Company has
accepted the offer of the city of the
privilege of double-tracking East
Broad street from Gwinnett, south to
Duffy, on condition that the company
pave the street with shell from Gwin-
nett to Henry. and enter into a con-
tract with the city for the perpetual
maintenance of the paving.
President George j. Baldwin return
ed yesterday from a visit of inspec-
ton to the street railway properties
at Houston, Tex, and Jacksonville,
control, and after a conference with
Manager Maggie, it was determined to
accept the citys offer.
Not, however, with any large enthu-
sfasm on the part of Mr.. Baldwin. He
seemed to feel that the demand of
the city was largely in the nature of
a hold-up, and that so large a price
for an improvement, not involving a
new franchise, but designed merely
to provide for the better operation OF
the road and consequent betterments
Of the service, is much too much
why said Mr.. Baldwin, they are
charging us for this Improvement, in
volving no new franchise right, three
times as much as was asked of Mr.
Lester for an entirely new franchise
on Montgomery street."
Rail for the double track will be or
dered at once, but it will probably be
two months before it arrives. AS soon
as it does work will be begun, and as
rapidly as possible pushed to compile
ton.
The paving of the street will follow
the laying of the track, and one will
proceed, probably, practically as rap
idly as the other. The section of street
to be paved is about $500 feet in
length, one block of which, between
Duffy and Henry. is not traversed at
all by the companys lines.

And How 1t Assures That Comfort
able Feeling.


Let me show you my insurance
plant" said a merchant to a visiting
friend. This little card is a copy of
q provision in my life insurance policy
which tells me how much cash can
get at the end of every year. Only
the agent kept me paying during the
early years. After had it three years,
however, he came to me and said: L
don't suppose 1 will have to coax you
to keep UP your policy any longer,
for it is now valuable and growing
asset 1 asked him to explain and
he showed me that l could borrow
quite neat sum if I so desired. I
had never thought about that feature.
but had looked upon my premium
payments as a dead loss. I was so
much interested in the rapid increase
that I had copy of the values made
and stuck up here on my desk where
/ can see it. AS each year goes by l
put a cross opposite the amount in
the cash column and I write down the
amount of my dividend accumulations,
so that 1 can see at a glance how much
it is worth to me. You see that the
cash value is now over S1,650, to say
nothing of the dividends and interest
which are to the credit of my policy.
These l may draw out at any time,
and still leave my policy intact. I'm
der the tontine plan of insurance 1
would not receive credit for these divi-
dends until after 20 years. and then
it is optional with the company to give
you what they please. l like the an
nual dividend plan best. 1 have none
of the old feeling that paying for life
insurance is throwing away money.
l have constantly before me the fact
that I am not only protecting my
family, but am saving money by pay
ing for insurance. That little card is
an incentive and I can see my policy
climbing and growing in value.
