GAMBLERS CHOICE
GOVERNOR TAKES CREDIT FOR
JUDGE ADAMS APPOINTMENT.
UPON HIS OWN V0LITI0N
HE NAMED THE sAvANNAHIAN FOR
THE SUPREME COURT BENCH.

Judge Adams Leaves To-day for At
Ianta-Was Not Ready Yesterday
to Announce His Decision Relative
to the City AttOrneyship-Con-
ferred With the MnyOr-Maj. G. VI.
RynIs the First to he Apprised by
the Governor of Judge Adams APP
pOintment-Story That Is Said to
show Why 1t Was That Judge Co
Der TartIy Declined the Appoint
ment rendered by the Governor.
Judge Samuel B. Adams will leave
to-day for Atlanta to attend a meet
ing of the committee from the Georgia
Bar Association appointed to consider
plans for the establishment of circuit
courts of appeal in Georgia. Judge
Adams said yesterday that it is not
his purpose to take the oath of office
as associate justice of the Supreme
Court while in Atlanta on this trip.
but it is possible that he might do so.
Judge Adams and Mayor Myers were
in conference yesterday morning. but
neither had any announcement to make
as to whether it was understood Judge
Adams would no would not resign his
position as city attorney.
In the event he resigns there is no
doubt that Col. William Garrard will
be elected as his successor. Inquiry
among the aldermen seems to show
that a majority would vote for him.
No one except Col. Garrard has been
mentioned for the place
Major RyaIs and the Governor.
Maj. G. NJ. Ryals, who has just re-
turned from Atlanta, was probably one
of the first visitors in the Governors
office after the Governor appointed
Judge Adams. Gov. Gambler informed
Maj. Ryals that he had appointed
Judge Adams, saying further that Maj.
Ryals was the first outside of the Of
fee to know the news of the Savan-
nahian's appointment.
After Maj. Ryals had expressed his
qualification that the appointment had
fallen to the lot of a Savannahian and
that a Savannah man of such ability
was to represent the city on the Su-
preme Court bench, Gov. Gambler said
that 1t was upon his own Volition that
he had named Judge Adams. No one
had prompted him 10 the appointment,
but it was after looking the field over
carefully and weighing every consid-
Grafton that he decided in favor of
Judge Adams.
No Influence for Adams.
This statement from the Governor
will be found interesting in view of
the fact that it has been claimed that
pressure was brought upon him to in
duce Judge Adams appointment.
A story touching the tender of the
appointment to Judge Gober of the
Blue Ridge Circuit gives the reason
for his declination. 1t is said that
| Gov. Gamblers appointment of Judge
Gober was conditioned upon his not
entering the race before the people.
This was after a promise that he
would be appointed, and it was Judge
Gober's understanding that there would
be no condition imposed. 1t was this
condition requiring him to keep out of
the race that made him decline the
Governors appointment so tartly.

SERVICE CURRUPT
SCATHiNG ARRANGEMENT OF
CITY GOVERNMENT.
GRAND JURY FLAWS ROGUES
Reports That VenaIity of Members CT
House OF Delegates is Appalling
Many Officials Found to Be of Low
Mentality and Morality and Always
Looking for Graft"

St. Louis, Mo, April 6.-The most
sensational charges are made by the
grand jury which has been investigat-
ing bribery and official corruption N
the municipal assembly IN its nnal re-
port yesterday. The report declares
that the people of the city have but a
vague conception of the extent to
which corruption and venality have for
the past ten years existed among Off
GERS and public servants. 1t finds the
true condition of affairs almost too
appalling for belief. These indict-
mentS were returned:
Bribery, Robert n. Snyder.
Attempted bribery, John H. Becker.
Perjury, George K. Kobusch.
The grand jury's report says:
I'VE had before us many of those
who have been and most of those who
are now members of the house of del
egates. We regret to report that we
found number of these utterly illGt-
crate, lacking ordinary intelligence
and unable to give better reason for
favoring or opposing a measure thar
a desire to act with the majority in
some no trace of mentality or moral
ity could be found; in others low or
der Of training appeared, united with
base, cunning, groveling instincts and
sordid desires. Unqualified to re-
spond to the ordinary requirements of
life, they are utterly incapable of COM
pretending the significance OF any or
dinance and are incapacitated both
by nature and training to be makers
of laws.
These men. through their corrupt
agents. approach representatives Of
powerful combinations or corporations
competing. for valuable franchises and
demand and receive of them sums of
money ranging from 500 to 100000
for their individual votes and in
| f1uence.
The evidence shows us that there
are in this city men of seeming great
| responsibility, directors of large cor
porations, prominent in business and
| social circles, who have not hesitated
| to put up money for the purpose of
| bribing through the assembly meas
| ures in which they are Interested.
: When called before our body some
added to the offense of bribery the
crime of perjury. Some of these are
as guilty as those against whom in
, dictments have been returned. the
only difference being that they have
! been more successful in covering their
! tracks"
! The grand jury suggests that the
method of selecting the members OF
the house of delegates be changed SO
that they may be chosen by the city
at large. The payment of liberal sal
aries to these officials is advocated. in
order that honest men can afford to
serve the city in the capacity of legis
lators.

TO WE'D IN PRUSSIA.
Peculiar Procedure Required to Com
ply With German Law.

Baltimore, April 6.-Dr Henry
Wood, professor of German in the
Johns Hopkins university, yesterday
obtained a certificate of his eligibility
to marry in this city in order that he
may wed a lady living in PotsdaIs
Prussia. The Prussian law, it is said
requires that foreigners shall not wed
in that country without a certificate
o. the fact that they may wed in their
own country
DR.. Wood wanted to obtain regu-
lar marriage license here, but the
judge ruled that a license could not
be issued here for a marriage to take
Iplace out of the state. AS the next
best thing Dr. Wood answered under
oath the questions asked applicants
for marriage licenses. The applica-
ton blank was filled out and he was
given a certified copy of that to take
with him across tho water
The application states that DR.
Wood is a widOwer 50 years old and
the lady he is to marry is Miss Clio
tide Won Kretschman, 20 years old
DR.. Wood expects to leave for Prus
sia the latter part of May.

GROUND WELL SOAKED.
Conditions in Northern South Dakota
Considered Very PROMISING.

Aberdeen, S. D., April 6.-The frost
Is coming out of the ground rapidly
and it is evident that the ground in
the whole northern part of the state
has not been soaked so deep since the
early eighties, making the spring an
usually promising one for cr0ps
Less than 10 per cent. of the wheat
land has been seeded to date. on ac-
count OF unfavOrable weather condi-
tons during the entire month of
March. Yesterday furnished more
sunshine than any three days for I'D
ward OF month. The prevalence of
cloudy weather this spring has been
something altogether unusual.
Ortonville, Mimi, April 6.-Seeding
IL this section is well under way and
the ground Is in good condition for all
KINDS OF crops. The acreage of corn
crop is being largely increased. many
farmers planting eighty acres.
New Prague, Mimi, April 6.-Some
wheat has been sown, but farmers ex-
pect they will have to reseed most of

cold weather set IN.
