TO BE DISCUSSED TOMORROW BY
CONGRESSMAN SMALL.
cITY's COMMERCIAL BODIES
INVITED TO BE AT BOARD OF
TRADE AT NOON TO HEAR HIM.

Chief Advocate of Project Accom-
ranied by Secretary of Merchants
and Manufacturers Association of
Baltimore, md Secretary of Cham
Der of Commerce of NOrfOlk-Party
VIII Reach Savannah Tonight.
To he Met by Representatives OF
Board of Trade-PrOject as Out
lined by Mr.. SmaII-Need IndOrse-
ment of South Atlantic Cities.
Congressman ]. H. Small of North
Carolina, Mr.. Clarence H. Forrest, sec
rotary of the Merchants and Manu-
facturers' Association of Baltimore,
ano Mr.. Lumsden, secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce of Norfolk, will
reach Savannah at 6:35 o'clock this
evening. They will be met by a COM
mittee representing the Board of Trade
and will be escorted to the hotel.
AS has been announced before, Mr..
Small will make this visit in the in
terest of an inland route from Chesa-
peake bay to Beaufort, n. c. To i'm
press upon the business men of Sa-
vannah the necessity for such a route
he will address at noon tomorrow a
joint meeting of the members of the
Board of Trade, the Chamber of Com
merce and the Cotton Exchange.
Information regarding the route and
it's advantages were set forth by Mr..
Small in an address in Charleston Fri
day as follows:
The project is to construct an in
to an inlet at Beaufort, N. c., leading
into the Atlantic ocean. The waterway
would be sixteen feet deep and would
cost from $1,000 900 to $40. 900, 900. Sur
Veys had been made and as an engi-
neering proposition it IS entirely feast
BILE. Congress would have to be con-
WINGED, however, that an expenditure
of the amount asked for was justified
by our inland trade before an appro-
priation would be granted. 1t is the
plan of the committee directing the
project to have all the ports along the
coast from Maryland to Florida join
in the plea to Congress for this appro-
priation. Baltimore, Richmond, New
port News and the smaller ports of
North Carolina are already in line; the
Brunswick, Savannah and Jacksonville
are solicited.
The first point to be considered ia
that involved in the subject of barge
transportation. The cheapest and most
satisfactory way to transport bulky
freight is to employ barges. And yet
it is deemed unsafe and impracticable
to use barges for this purpose because
of the dangers to be encountered from
storms and reefs in rounding Cape
Hatteras. Consequently barge trans
portation on the Atlantic coast is pro-
hibited because of the danger attend
ing it. An inland passage would rec
tify all this, reduce the danger to a
minimum and the result would be to
the mutual advantage of all these
ports.
Barge transportation would reduce
freight rates about 80 1-3 per cent This,
in round numbers, would effect a saw
ing of not less than 100000 annually
in freight charges. Briefly put, barge
transportation would make for cheaper
freight rates, cheaper insurance, and
would aid in the development of a
freight tariff not possible under exist
ing conditions"

rallied TO Appear as Witness and
Was Promptly Punched.
Yesterdays session of Police Court
was made interesting by reason of the
fact that May Won Ramp, a resident
of the Tenderloin, did not appear to
prosecute two young men who were
arrested for raising a rough house on
her premises.
The woman reported sick, but the
story didn't go with Recorder Myrick,
and he ordered her brought into court
The Recorder announced that he
would send dozen uniformed men to
invade the Tenderloin if such a step
should be necessary to enforce the
presence of the witness. When the
woman did materialize she looked as
if she had seen a night of it. She tes-
titled without flinching, however, and
thus escaped punishment for contempt.
She was given lecture by the Recor-
der and warned to be on hand hereaf-
ter when she is under subpoena. One
of the defendants was dismissed, and
the other was fined $25 or thirty days
A majority of the prisoners who were
arraigned were dismissed. Charles
Green and Tom Smith, charged with
cruelty to animals, were among the
number. Frank and Effie Daniels, the

a friend recently: You know, II is
an awful hard matter to accumulate
much money by a saving bank deposit.
The temptation to draw II out on the
slightest provocation is. SO great that
one does not realize the old saying
that it is not what you earn that

more important, a perfect and prudent

Council on Record as Opposed to
Tabernacle i'm Park Extension.
Unless a majority of the members of
City Council have changed their minds.
the petition of the Ministerial Associ-
alton for permission to erect its taber-
nacle in the Park Extension will be re-
ported upon adversely, despite the fact
that the military has consented to let
the ministers use its parade ground.
Although none of the members OF
Council care to discuss the subject I'M
til the petition has been read in eau
Gus, the Mayor and former Board of
Aldermen is on record as being against
again granting permission for the use
OF the parade ground as the site for a
tabernacle.
After the Sam Jones revival services
in the Park Extension people living
in the vicinity of the parade ground
complained that they had been dis
turbed by the services. Previous to
that, when the parade ground was oc-
cupied by a carnival company. citizens
residing in the vicinity complained. and
after the revival services the Mayor
and Aldermen expressed themselves as
opposed to ever again granting permis-
sion for the holding Of any services or
entertainments on the parade ground.
When Evangelist CrittentOn came TO
Savannah tabernacle was put up on
Bull and Anderson streets, and at that
time Council was not asked for the use
OF the Park Extension. While none of
the aldermen care 10 discuss the sub
JeCt until il comes up in caucus We'd

them are still opposed TO a tabernacle
and think that it should be erected on

BIG GUNS DOOMED
FORT SCREvEN ARTILLERY FIRED
SHOTS AT IMAGINARY ENEMY.
HALF TON PRoJECTILES
WENT HURTLING OVER THE
WATER.

Sfortors Fired at Targets Al Miles
at Sea-Carried S6O-POund PrOjec-
tiles and Required 265 Pounds of
Powder For Every ShOt-Men Be
ing Trained in Submarine Defense
Work Under Capt. Gilmore.
An interesting event was the quar-
ferly target practice with the big dis
appearing guns and mortars at Fort
Screven yesterday. The practice. which
engaged the soldiers at the fort
throughout the day, was greatly en-
joyed by the men, who gained a great
deal of experience and practice from
the exercise. The result of the prac-
tice was declared to have been highly
satisfactory to the officers.
The target used consisted of two row
boats tied $50 feet apart, TO represent
the length of the enemy's craft These
were located about 1000 feet distant
and were towed by a launch, a hawser
nearly 500 feet long being used. so that
the launch might be out Of danger
way. This target was used in the
practice with the big disappearing
and Pinch guns, and the rapld-hre
gun, while a different target Az miles
distant was used IN shooting the NOR
iars.
Thirty men were enga ged at each
gun. Five shots were fired by each OF
the disappearing guns, while thirty
shots were discharged by the rapid
fire guns. Five shots were also fired
from the 12-inCh mortars. From y
TO 4 minutes was allowed for each
shot. The results of the firing were
very satisfactory, demonstrating that
the men at the Fort are capable by
their excellent craftsmanship of de-
tending the entrance to the harbor
The S-inch guns carry projectiles
weighing las pounds, made of cast
iron and oblong in shape, which it re-
quires As pounds of brown prismatic
powder to discharge. Three hundred
and seventy-fve pounds of powder are
required 10 hurl the 1000 pound pro-
1ectiles used in the Finch guns. The
mortars carry prOjectiles weighing $50
pounds which require 265 pounds of
powder for a single discharge.
The men are also being trained in
submarine defense work. Regular
classes have been formed and under
the instruction of Capt. J. C. Gilmore
Jr., a specially detailed officer, are
being taught the new system insti-
tuted by the government and taught
;n the training school at Fort Tot
ten, n. Y, of which Capt. Gilmore is
q recent graduate.

MANY RESIGN FROM
HISTORICAL SOCIETY.
Increased Annual Dues and Free
Library the Cause.


Library the Cause.
The proposed increase of dues to the
Georgia Historical Society as a part
of the plan for separating that institu-
ton from the intended free library
and to enable it to carry on the work
for which it was originally formed,
the preservation and publication of rec
ords and manuscripts dealing with the
history of the state, has caused a very
large number of the members of the
organization under the present regime
to resign.
1t is expected that of the 400 and
more that at present comprises the
membership of the institution, nearly,
if not quite rs per cent, will with
draw under the new order of things.
No further developments have taken
place in the matter of the free library
and, indeed, nothing more can be done
until after the April meeting of the
Georgia Historical Society, when the
agreement with the city will be rati-
fed.
At the same meeting a new set of
officers for the society will be elected
and also the five members who will
compose half of the board of govern
ors of the free library. The other five
members of this board will be appoint
ed later by Mayor Myers. The repre-
sentatives of the city will not neces-
sarily be members of City Council,
though it is more than probable that
some member of that body will be one
of the appointees.
