Mr.. Witcover has arranged to fur
nish the public rooms throughout the
building with stationery seats. Benches
in comfortable and convenient design
will be placed wherever there is like
ly to be persons waiting. This will do
away with movable chairs altogether,
which are often in the way and al

Special attention will be given to the
interior arrangement and furnishing of

Crowds of people gathered yester-

front elevation of Savannah's new
city hall. The picture is about
five feet by three feet in di-
mansions and shows very plainly the
various details of the building as it
viii appear when the contractors have
finished the new home for the city Of
ficials.
The design is particularly handsome
and the proportions are graceful and
effective. The comments of the people
who spent more or less time in study
ing the picture were all very favorable
and those who had read in the Morn
ing News the details of the size, mate
rial and departments to be housed
and the decorations to be used, were
better able to appreciate the water

The picture shows, of course, only a
four-story building, but it is, as mat
ter of fact a six-story building: two
of the floors being below Bay street
These lower floors are, however, not
at all ornamental, although very use
full, and it is just as well that they do
not appear in view from the front.

SAFEGUARDS PROVIDED
ON TYBEE BEACH

Speaking Of the references made to
the law requiring life saving appli-
ances at coast resorts, made by Judge
Barrow 10 the grand jury. a represen-
tative of the Hotel Tybee, at Tybee
beach, said yesterday that so far as
possible every precaution is taken at
that resort against loss of life by
drowning.
A surf boat, he said, is kept as near
the water as possible and is provided
with oars and all proper appliances so
il can be launched in a hurry when
needed. Besides this. and probably a
great deal more important, although
not required in the law of the state,
life lines are extended into the water.
and bathers all understand that they
are free from danger inside the lines.
When they go outside il is against the
wishes and suggestion of those in
charge and they take, in consequence,
all the risks themselves.
1t is understood that no boat is kept
ready, nor are there any life lines at
Warsaw, but the beach is shelving
and there are seldom more than a score
of bathers in at once, and those VINO
frequent the place say there is no need
for any loss or life or trouble, provid-
ed the bathers use the most ordinary
precautions and some judgment.
At Bohan's pavilion, Tybee, a life
, boat is kept in readiness for emergen-
cies and the regular life lines are eN-
tended to the danger line. In addition
TO this, and also not required by law,
the manager has employed for three
years past a life saver, or guard, who
patrols the beach in bathing suit, or
stays in the surf, near the shore, when
ever there are bathers in the water.
This guard is an expert swimmer and
understands exactly what to do in case
of trouble.

Toll Road to Go.
That the city of Savannah is inter-
ested in the purchase of the White
Bluff road, is very evident from pres
ent conditions, as unless the road. or a
portion of it is soon secured the city
viii be in the position of having a toll
road within the city limits. which
would be rather queer state of af-
fairs. With the boundaries extended
as proposed, the White Bluff toll road
would be running nearly half mile in
side the line.
In order to extend Bull street. at the
regular rs feet width. and in direct
lines, the city win not only have to
secure the White Bluff road, but also
some little strips of land from some of
the property holders along the road.
These strips are not absolutely neces-
Sary, but would improve and better
the road, and if the owners realize the
improvement designed no doubt many

GRAND JURY WILL
PROBE GAMBLING.
viii Make Inquiry Into silverberS's
Alleged Losses At the Game

viii Make Inquiry Into siIverberS's
Alleged Losses At the Game.
A special session Of the grand jury
has been called for tomorrow after
noon. Several matters of public inter
est will occupy the attention of the
body. and the session will probably
prove interesting.
The principal matter TO be investi-
gated lis the gambling feature of the
Silberberg case. Several witnesses have
been summoned.
The matter was taken up at the last
session of the grand jury. but action
was only outlined, the investigation
extending only to an examination Of
the participants in the Bryan-Doss
shooting ARRAY. Deputy Sheriff
Sweeney was at that time instructed
to serve subpOenas upon the witnesses
who viii appear tomorrow.
Another matter which will engage
the grand jurors is an investigation
into the matter of lack of proper Hfe-
saving equipment on the sea coast
The matter has twice been brought to
the attention of the grand jury. and at
the session on Tuesday, it was decid
ed to summon witnesses. Several par
ties from Warsaw and Tybee have
been notified to appear.
There are also several matters Of
a criminal nature to occupy the at
tention of the grand jurors. The in
vestigation of the shooting affray in
Smiths bar, in which W. II. Abrams
was shot by George Moessner will also
be resumed. 1t was begun at the last
session. Abrams is still at the hospi
tai, where, it is said, he will recover
from his injury.

room to be used for officers who are
not yet even thought of. The City Han
is to be built to stand and remain in
it's full usefulness for many years, and
provision had to be made for a con-
tinuance of the splendid growth that
has been noted recently.
In the picture the ornamental groups
at the four corners are noted and a
great many people. have been wonder
ing if these are necessary or expedient
The architect has said, however. that
the groups can be omitted without
injuring the general effect, or can be
placed in position after the building
has been completed, even a number of
years. They will probably not be in
cluded in the specifications submitted
for competitive bids by contractors.
Architect H. w. Witcover has al
ready started on the working
plans, and has every intention
of pushing it forward with all
proper speed. There is great
deal to be done. however, and it will
require probably six weeks to get the
plans and specifications in shape TO
advertise for bids. A number of mat
tiers of detail are yet to be decided by
the committee. one being the question
of material for the first story, whether
1t shall be granite or Georgia marble
Another thing to be decided upon is

Introduction of Electric Cars, and

Texas burros. The city limits ended
at Anderson street. and beyond was

ability of Savannah.
1t is matter of civic pride to note
the changes which have taken place
during the period of their operations.
They projected and built the first cleo
trio line, originated the first belt sys-
tenn, and through their early efforts
Savannah now enjoys excellent street
car facilities.
Modern methods of TRANSFORMATION
have revolutionized our ideas of dis
tance, and have caused the area &C.
cupied by cities to grow notably larger.
Savannah has been no exception to the
rule, and the rapid growth in it's south
ern section has been remarkable. It
is with the development of this section
that the Savannah Investment Compa-
ny has been closely identified.
Here it selected upon organization a
large tract of nigh and dry land. dedi-

instrumental in Fastening all municipal

CATHEDRAL BELLS WILL
ANNOUNCE LEO'S DEATH.

With each succeeding day the end
of Pope Leo appears to draw the near
ed and it is so generally understood now
that though the Ponuff may live for
days the end is inevitable, that the news
that his dissolution has actually TAX
en- place would excite only grief and
not surprise.
So soon as the official news is re-
ceived by the church authorities in the
various parts of the country it will be
announced to the public at large by
the tolling of the church bells. This
will be done in the large cities like
New York and Baltimore, and il is
more than likely that il will be done
in Savannah. With the tolling of the
bell of the Cathedral of st. John the
Baptist the faithful will know that
Leo is no more.

WITH BRAINS O0ZING OUT

SOIOmOns Jenkins Lies at the Point
of Death at Georgia Infirmary.
With his brains oozing from the
wound in his temple, SoIomons Jen-
kins lies at the point of death at the
Georgia Infirmary. The wounded
man was shot at Aimars Mill. about
forty-two miles from Savannah on the
Atlantic Coast Line, and was brought
here yesterday.
His assailant, Charles Williams. has
not been apprehended, though a vigil
liant search has been instituted by the
Liberty county authorities. The row
was, it is said. precipitated by wom~
an. In the midst of heated argu-
ment, Williams drew his revolver and
shot Jenkins above the temple. 1t is
said at the infirmary that the negro
cannot live.

VISITORS FROM COLUMBUS
AND OTHER POINTS
Big Excursion Party Here over Cen
trail of Georgia.

The hotels took on a busy look yes
terday when during the early after
noon a big excursion party arrived
from Columbus and intermediate
points on the Central of Georgia. The
excursionists numbered about $50 and
all were substantial people from along
the line. The De Soto, Pulaski and
Screven House all got a share of the
visitors and a number also went TO
private boarding houses and some at
once took trains for Tybee. Many
were seen on the streets during the
afternoon and evening. The Macon
and Birmingham will operate an ex-
cursiOn into Savannah on Aug. from
LAGRANGE and intermediate points.
These summer excursions afford the
friends from the interior a chance to
come down and renew old acquaint-
ances, and to get surf bath and
chance at the sea breezes, besides
giving the opportunity for attending
to business matters and getting into
closer touch with the business men
with whom they have been dealing.
