II Was Not n Musical One hut Was
the Kind Needed at the Time.
The Savannah Music Club has not
yet placed comic opera in its regular
repertoire. but this fact did not pre-
vent its members. or at least some thir-
ty of them, from giving a first-class
performance if an impromptu one, at
the Lawton Memorial last night.
In accordance with the custom of the
club rehearsal of the chorus is held
at the Lawton Memorial every Thurs
day night, to prepare for the rendi-
ton of 'Stabat Mater" a work that
is to be presented later in the season.
Last night the members of the chorus
gathered at the building at $50 O'Clock,
only to find the doors closed and the
place in darkness. The janitor was no.
where to be found, though it is not
known whether Thanksgiving had any
thing to do with his absence.
The first comers, though unable to get
in the building. fingered around it, and
were quickly Joined by tWos and threes
until some thirty had been gathered.
They had come more or less prepared
TO sing "Qui est Homo but the song
that they sang on the outside was "Ubi
est Homo The similarity of the songs
- strlCtly IN the title; the sentiments
OF the two are very dissimilar.
Finally a council Of war was held
and 1t was decided to enter the build
ing by window, if possible, and see if
the doors could not be opened from the
inside. One of the singers clambered
on the shoulders of another and made
an entrance in this way, but the doors
refused to bulge.
1t was a determined crowd, however,
1t had come there to sing and sing it

the building, either. Therefore the man
on the inside, either through a bril-
liant inspiration or from a suggestion
from the outside, turned on the lights
and discovered a step-ladde
This he gingerly poked TO those on
the outside and they placed it in prop

OFFICERS SWO0PED DOWN
ON FIGHTING YOUNGSTERS,
Although outnumbered Ten to One
Police Were Victorious.

Police Were Victorious.
Although in solid battle formation
and about TO begin hostilities. some
sixty or seventy boys from the East
Side and the West Side were put to
fight by eight patrolmen and detec-
| tives last night on Oglethorpe avenue.
between Barnard and whitaker
streets.
Despite the fact that they were out
numbered ten to one. the officers of
the law were victorious and the oppos-
ing armies of Juveniles retreated in
disorder. They scattered in every di-
rectiOn, between the legs of the Off
GERS. over garden fences, through the
front doors of private residences and
escaped with a loss of only seven.
Some of the boys were not satisfied
with simply escaping and in passing
between the legs of members Of the in
vading party turned them over.
When the patrolmen and detectives
had finished their attack they discov-
cred that they had only seven prison
ers of war. These were marched TO po-
lice headquarters and appeared before
Superintendent Reilly. Six of the boys
declared that they were innocent spec
and had taken no part in the battle.
The seventh prisoner, a midget of
about 8 years, would have probably
unfolded the same yarn but for the
fact that he was caught with the
goods. When searched his pockets were
found bullying out with bricks.
Although he had ammunition enough
to have broken every glass within
radius of half a dozen blocks. the
youngster made good with a story of
what he was supposed to do. He de-
clared that it was his duty to carry
ammunition, but not to use it himself.
He was the powder monkey as it were
for the East Side force. and had been
instructed to chase along the line and
keep his comrades supplied with bricks.
The names and addresses of the pris-
oners of war were taken. they were
severely reprimanded. and then re-
leased on parole.
For several days past rock battles
between gangs of boys from the differ
ent sections of the city have been the
thing. force from the East Side
had agreed to fight it out with a force
from the West Side on Oglethorpe ave-
nue. last night and met according to
appointment. Only a few bricks had
been thrown, however, when a tele-
phone message was sent to police head
quarters and a squad of men was ask
ed for. Two squads were sent out from
headquarters. One was composed of
Detective Nose Davis and Patrolmen
Woods, Broom and Golden. In the
other were Detectives. Stark and Muir
ply and Patrolman Clancy and Eiver5.
Four of the officers entered Ogletrope
avenue from Barnard street and the
other four from Whitaker street, but
even this did not result in the capture
of any great part of the crowd, or any
of the leaders. 1t was like a chase
after so many greasy pigs and occa-
stoned as much amusement as II did
excitement. The police are determined
TO put a stop to the brick fights if they
have to make nightly raids and Re
corder Myrick has promised to pun
ish the offenders severely.

LOST MUCH BLOOD.
Tha nIsgiving Day Hunt Resulted in
Casualty

Casualty.
With a load of bird shot in his right
leg, just below the knee, and almost
completely exhausted from the loss of
blood, w. M. Carter, of No 410 Con-
gress street, west. was brought to the
city yesterday and taken to the office
Of DIR. G.. w. Heriot for treatment.
The wounded man was accompanied
by his friend, A. NJ. Smith, who acct
dentally shot him. Carter was barely
alive when taken to the physicians Of

been stopped he was sent to st.
Joseph's Hospital in the police ambu-
lance.
The two men had gone out shooting
west of the city. but had poor luck.
Near the Four Mile Hill. 1t appears,
they planned to spend some of their
ammunition by shooting at targets,
and while this pastime was being in
duged in the accident occurred In
some manner Smiths gun was dis
charged and the entire load of small
shot entered Carriers leg. A wagon
was secured after some delay and Car

what the trouble is. He has, never been
officially informed of the cause of
the delay and said that had
the department notified him that
new cession would be required he
would at once have had bill passed
by the General Assembly.
Col. Lester sees no use in
having such a bill passed. when it
is by no means certain that the land
on York and Abercorn streets viii be
used for the hospital. While it is prob
able that this will be the site Col Les
