do little retrospective comparison.
When Roosevelt was college kid,
sucking "a golden spoon, when he was
"a diiletante ranchmaH, when be.was a

/ catcher Of snap shots with the camera,
Miles was Kidding the arid plains OF

most murderous Apache ever born.

United States. He had neither pull
nor popularity. 1t was his merit as
an officer aud fighter, his persistency,
hi> fitness, his greatness, that made |
him what he is. He i great man, a /
man 10 whom every American can /
point his son as a model.
Beside Miles, Roosevelt is a whip
an accident, a mushroom.
And yet that President called that old
to him in a public place and
to him a cool, brutal
insult, imposed upon him degrade
ion and inflicted a pang which should
,ause the mantle of shame to flood
very American cheek.
And he will treat Schley the same
way. There is another real man, by
with whom the secretary

TOO MANY ESCAPES
TRUsTY SYSTEM IN CONVICT CAMPS
TO BE ABOLISHED.
WILL RESTRICT PRISONERS.
ORDERED BY BOARD OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS.

Wagon Drivers the Only TRUSTEES
Allowed and They VIII Wear Belts
Marked with Large Letters ''Trus-
ty''-Trusties Themselves VIII Be
Allowed Less Liberty Than Here
tOfOre-Stricter Regulations to BE
Observed in the Management o.
County Prisoners.
So far as practicable the trusty sys-
tenn that has been in vogue on the
changing for years will be abolished.
This decision has been reached by the
Committee on Changing after a care
full Investigation and thorough discus
sion on the subject of escapes.
While there have been only three or
four more escaped convicts this year
that last in the same space of time.
Chairman Vetsburg of the special COM
mittee some time ago reached the con-
clusion that something had TO be done
to reduce the number. The subject was
discussed fully with Capt. Paulsen, the
other member of the committee, and
with Supt. Chaplin and Chairman
Lathrop, and it was decided that the
trusty system be done away with.
While not all of those who make
their escape from the Poor Farm or
changing. are TRUSTEES the greater per
cent. are. The committee has decided
that the guards must be stricter with
the convicts. and that the prisoners
must not be given the liberties and
freedom that some of them have en-
ioyed in the past.
The wagon drivers will be the only
TRUSTEES and they will be made to wear
belts stamped in large letters "trusty."
Although marked so that they can
be easily distinguished on the high
ways the TRUSTEES will not be permitted
to enjoy the freedom that they have
been accustomed to. In this way
Chairman Vetsburg hopes to reduce
the number of escapes perceptibly.

President Egan Says That's All He
Knows About the Project.
President John NJ. Egan of the Cen
trail returned yesterday morning from
New York. where he attended meet
ing of the executive board of the COM
pany. Mr.. Egan was seen by repre-
sentative of the Morning News and
asked about the report that the Cen
trail was to assume the management of
the Georgia Southern and Florida Rail-
way and the Atlantic, Valdosta and
Western Railway.
Il do not know that such a plan is
to be adopted" said Mr.. Egan. II
have heard some gossip about it, but
my knowledge ceases there. No, this
gossip was not among railway Off
Gals, but among outsiders"
The report is regarded as quite plaus-
ible in railway circles generally, and
II would occasion no surprise If it
should prove true.
Mr. Egan was asked if the executive
board had decided to use the Savannah
Union Station. He replied in the mega
tive. No decision has yet been reach
ed. he said, and the matter is still with
the committee to which it was referred
by the board. This committee consists
of President Egan and Maj. Hanson,
chairman of the board.

up in his seat and began. using the
whip on them with much force. They
ran away again and caused other vehi-
Giles on the street to take the side

MISSING WITH $40.
John Hcomer COIored, Charged With
Larceny From the House.

Larceny FROM the mousse
A warrant for larceny from the
house was sworn out before Justice
Samuel Reynolds against John Toom-
er, colored. yesterday. the complainant
being Mr.. Leander Butler, chief clerk
in the Office of the director of public
works, in which Toomer has been por-
ter. Toomer is well known among his
race and among the local politicians.
His forensic ability won him the cog
nomen of the boy orator" and a
penchant for writing quite frequently
caused him to display his views in the
newspapers above the nom de plume
of "Seipio Africanus."
Toomer was not sufficiently careful
of Mr.. Buffers money, which had been
entrusted to his keeping. MIR. Butler
gave him a check on the Citizens
Bank for 800 to have cashed day be-
fore yesterday. Toomer got the check
cashed. but did not re-appear at the
City Exchange to pay the money to
Mr.. Butler. That gentleman began to
grow suspicious as the hours passed,
and Toomer did not show up. That
night he went to TONERS house,
where he found his man. Toomer told
him that he had but $50 of the money,
as his mother had come to the bank to
get $40. There being many in line, he
had given her so to keep her from
waiting. This, according to his story,
he would make good the next morning
and turn over to Mr.. Butler.
Mr. Butler took the $50 from him, re-
ceiving his promise to show up yes
terday morning with the balance. He
failed to do SO, and the warrant was
issued.
The announcement of TONERS act
created surprise. He has been noticed
because of his uniform politeness, and
the white people who know him did not
suspect that he was not thoroughly
honest.
