ARE EVADING LICENSES.
So Deputy Marshal Says of Some
Veterans Enterprise.


Veterans Enterprise.
Deputy City Marshal w. T. Hussey
complaints that there is a gross viola
ton in Savannah of the law that al
lows INDECENT and crippled Confederate
Veterans to do business without TAX
ing out a license. He has placed the
Wiley Gooding Loan Office and the At
lanta Loan Office on the docket, be-
cause he believes that these are in
stances wherein the city is not receiv-
ing fair treatment, and it is his pur-
pose to follow these with other cases
His activity has resulted in several es-
Establishments being made to pay spe-
cific licenses for their operation, which,
otherwise, would have escaped. This
would have meant that the city would
not have received the revenues to
which 1t is justly entitled.
Affidavit. Mr.. Hussey said, must De
made by q veteran to the effect that
he is INDECENT and crippled. In the case
of loan office this saves him a spe-
cific tax CT $3.50 a year, which, of
course, is no small consideration. Wiley
Gooding, he says, is cripple, but not
an INDECENT. as he returns property for
taxation. E. H. Hill, he says, has the
license for the Atlanta Loan Office in
his name. but is neither an INDECENT
nor cripple. On the contrary, he re-
turns property valued at $4,000.
Such cases as these Mr.. Hussey re-
CARDS as a gross viola ton of the stat
ute, and he wants the city to receive
the taxes that are due it. He says he
thinks the law itself is proper and
just, and it is not his desire nor his in
tention to interfere in any particular
with business that is conducted, bona
fide, by a crippled and INDECENT Con-
federate. There are cases wherein bus
mess ventures are managed and owned
by men who are not veterans, though
they operate under veterans licenses.
This is a practice that he wants to

PRISONER QUIT BARRACKS.
Took French Leave hut VIII Hnv
to Go Back.

A prisoner escaped from the barracks
yesterday morning. John Jones' a col
ored man who was being held on a
charge of disorderly conduct, had been
allowed to walk about in the barracks
yard. Instead of showing his appre-
citation of the privilege by behaving
himself in a quiet and orderly man
ner. he took advantage of the first OPP
portunity to escape.
The police were notified of the es-
cape and told to make every effort
to find the man. He is known to many
of them, and it is probable that he will
be arrested and put back for even a
longer period than confronted him be-
fore he made his escape
Jones, who is a black negro about
20 years of age. was arrested three
days ago for disorderly conduct. He
was arrested with two other negroes,
who are now in the barracks wonder
ing where their companion in crime has
betaken himself.

AID OF TRADE
VISIT IN AMERICA MAKES f.on0
IMPRESSION ON BERLIN
BOERSE
IRON SHARES ARE WEAKENED
Despite Favorable Reports From
the United States, Quotations
Drop Owing to Over
Speculation.

BERLIN, March 2-Although the re-
ception of Prince Henry in the United
States made an excellent impression on
the bourse during the last week, it did
not influence values. the disposition be-
ms to await practical results from his
tour.
After the revival of speculation of the
past few weeks the impression gains
ground that this matter has been over
done; consequently there is a tendency
to take profits Beside domestic con-
ditions the bOerse was further affected
by the check TO Kaffir speculation IN
London.
While the American iron reports of the
last week reacted favorably and ...e do
nestle iron market continues to i'm
prove, the boerse quotations on iron
shares weakened through overs ecula-
ton. Several price advances in iron were
announced during the week, and the de-
mand for iron is evidently increasing.
Coal shares weakened considerably
upon renewed reports Of the bad situa-
ton of the market. growing stocks and
slow sales Earnings for the month of
January show a marked decline against
those for the month of December.
The feature Of the week was the great
strength of bank stocks, as the result
of the publication of the various yearly
bank reports The results set forth in
the report of the Deutsche bank are
characterized as brilliant, and mace an
excellent impression on the bourse, ad-
vancing the quotations on Deutsche ban->
stock by $40 points. The Dresdener
bank and others, while heavily reducing
dividends, made better earnings than was
expected Domestic loans remained strong
during the week, and the public shows
a disposition TO avoid industrial securi-
ties for the loans. General industrials
weakened.
The abolition of sugar bounties affected
sugar shares, but not very adversely.
Easy money made a smooth carry over,
and money continues to be offered in
great abundance.

heavy rainfall and rush of water from
its upper tributaries caused the north

rapidly today. Today's high water mark
is equal to that Of 1866, which has al
ways been known as a record breaker.
The damage to property is already esti-

The water is over the banks of the
river from Pittston to Nanticoke. and re-

the city Is under water. At Westmoor,
ForeWood and Riverside, nearly all the
residents vacated their houses
Two hundred families living in the low
lands in Plymouth had to leave their
houses hastily this afternoon, the water
covering the first floors and putting out
the fires. The body of Mrs. Rowland. who
died this afternoon, had to be removed
from the premises in a boat, as there
was danger of the house being carried
away. Dr. Butler was rowed in a boat
to house at Riverside to attend a
woman, who shortly afterwards gave
birth to a child

NASHVILLE, Tenn, March 2.-Prince
Henry of Prussia spent fifteen minutes
in Nashville this afternoon. Ten thousand
men, women and children crowded the
Union station and railroad yards seek

The prince did not leave his car, but
from the back platform smiled III ac-
acknowledgement of the demonstrations III

thank YOU being his reply to the well
coming address of Mayor ]. NJ. Head.
During the stop here the desire express
ed by the prince to hear some of the old
plantation negro songs of the South was
gratifed, the negro jubilee singers from
Fisk university singing three turieful
melodies to the manifest enjoyment OF
the prince One of the singers was a
member of the organization when it
made a tour of Europe some years ago,
and having been told this, Prince Henry
after the first song, reached over and
shook hands with her, making reference
to the visit to Berlin.
During the rendition Of the songs his
highness asked Gov. McMillin, who was
standing by him, what their purport was.
They are revival songs replied the
governor
What are revival songs?" asked the
prince, and the governor entered into a
few explanatory remarks concerning the
old-time negro and his picturesque reIg-
ious faith and customs.
Met by Prominent Men.

citizens, state, city and county officials,
