Meetings Held by Two Committees,

Meetings Held by Two Committees,
Chamber of Commerce..
The Committee on Manufactures and
that on Trade and Commerce, of the
Chamber of Commerce, each held a
was held in the afternoon and was
we'll attended. Many matters of in
terest were considered, though no def
mite action on any of them was taken
The principal matter brought up was
that of a proposition from a large man.
ufacturing concern of Pennsylvania,
which may decide to establish a branch
in the South, and which has Savannah
in view as a possible site for this plant
1t was felt that the matter could be
gone into more thoroughly if the rep
resentative of the concern will visit
Savannah, and discuss his proposition
before the members of the Chamber of
Commerce. He will be invited to make
such a triO.
The Committee on Commerce and
Trade was ~.Iso called on to consider a
number of important matters, that OF
arranging to pay the railroad fare of
out-of-town customers who will pur-
NAaSC a SpGClutu amount OF goods, be-
ing the first taken up. II was finally
decided to take this matter up with the
various other trade organizations to
see il their members can be interested
In the movement. Both the wholesale
and the jobbing trade will be asked to
take part in the plan.
The communication from a resident
OF Geneva, Ala, seeking to interest
Savannah's business men in the build
ing OF short piece of railroad to con-
meet that town with the Central of
Georgia, and in that way with Sa-
Vannah, and promising Savannah a
large share of the cotton and naval
stores trade of the town if the matter
can be arranged, was also taken up
and was referred to a committee for
investigation.
The matter of securing tourists rates
Tor Savannah, on which this commit
tee has been working for some time.
is still under consideration, and so is
the question of how to induce resi-
dents of the city to spend their money
with the home dealers. Gen. w. w.
Gordon called attention to the neces-
sity OF securing new naval stores and
cotton-p producing territory for Savan-
NAH 1t was decided to suggest that
the board of directors bring this mat
ter to the attention of the Transporta-
tion Committee.

TO ASK AUTHORITIES
FOR NEW PAVED ROAD.
One Is Wanted to Golf Club, Gun
Club Grounds and Rife Range.

One Is Wanted to Golf Club, Gun
Club Grounds and Rife Range.
Two petitions asking that a road be
built from Savannah through East Sa-
vannah, to the Golf Club, the grounds
of the Forest City Gun Club, and on to
Avondale range are being prepared one
to be presented to City Council, and
the other to the County Commission
ers.
The petitions, which were started only
recently, are being very generally sign
ed, as the number of persons who
would be benefited by such a road is
very large. The papers will have the
undivided backing, it is expected of
the members of the organizations men,
toned, and also of the military as a
whole, as every member of all the COM
panies is interested in the rifle range,
at least.
The petitions do not specify any par
ticular route for the road, but asks
that it be easy of access from the city
and touch at the points mentioned. 1t
is thought that for the greater part of
the way il could conveniently follow
the right of way of the Savannah Elec-
trio Company's line. Such a road would
be a great convenience to those who
visit any of the three places that 1t
would reach, as a very large number
OF these persons have automobiles and
other vehicles and would much prefer
using this means to reach their desti-
nation.
II has been pointed out. too, that IL
the state shoot should be held at Avon
dale range, as IL is likely TO be, such
road would be OF the greatest con-
venience TO everybody interested In the
range. both visitors and citizens.

BOUGHT THE GOODS;
LEFT WITHOUT THEM.
smooth Swindler Tried to Use

vannah Merchants
Refused to BE
Nictfmixed.

Victimiked.
There were three OF four merchants
and firms in Savannah yesterday
chuckling over an attempt that had
been made to bunco them, and while
it was too close a trim to be enjoyed
just at the moment. they are all we'll
enough pleased at present.
The smoothest sharp who has hon
ored Savannah with a visit in some
time drifted into port Wednesday and
with a pleasant smile and easy man
ners began buying goods to replenish
his stock at Macon. The look of the
man was all right and he gave the
name of Henry Berman when in the
place of business of Meinhard & Schaul,
Frank & Co. and Charles Marks & Co.
In confident and regular manner he
bought this and that, considering
sometime a little before buying too
much of one thing or another. The
purchases were all spot cash." and
when the time came for settlement
checks were made out and handed
over. They were drawn upon a bank
in Macon.
The young merchant was not salts
fed with having finished his stock
buying, however, and asked that some
one accompany him to Sternberg &
Co.'S jewelry store, where he had pick
ed out a diamond, but was not en-
tirely satisfied with the price. This
trip was made, but the stone was not
purchased.
When Mr.. Frank returned to his store
it was suggested that perhaps the
check business might not be all right,
and at once he telephoned to Mr..
Sternberg. The stranger had returned
to Sternberg's and wanted to take the
ring, proferring a check for $270, but
this was refused. The young man
went away, and has not been seen
since. 1t is thought that he went south
and may turn up in Jacksonville. That
he has been working the same game
elsewhere is shown by the following
letter which was received by the chief
of police yesterday morning from Chief
Ball of Atlanta;
Look out for and arrest a Russian
Jew, gave name of Harry Weiner here
speaks English brokenly, is about 26
years old, feet 8 inches high, dark
hair, parted in center, wore dark coat
and pants, fancy vest. Worked mer-
chants here by visiting wholesale
houses and jewelry stores, exhibiting
receipted bills showing that purchases
had been made of other merchants,
buys a bill of goods pays for them in
worthless checks and has goods either
shipped to him, or delivered in the
city. j. w. Bell,
"Chief of Police,
Atlanta. Ga"
The goods purchased by Berman or
Weiner, or whatever his name may be,
amounted to several hundred dollars in
each of the three stores mentioned, but
they were not even packed, as sus-
picion was aroused by the way he
talked of Macon in Mr. Franks place,
and the word was passed about. Mr..
Frank said that Bermans unfamiliar
ity with men and conditions in the
place where he was supposed to live,
was enough to bring grave doubts, and
he made no effort to pack the goods
ordered, waiting to hear from the
check. The answer of the Macon bank
received yesterday morning, was to the
effect that the signer of the check was
not known to them.

Not only is it not true that Col.
Shelby Myrick wants to be Judge of
the City Court. but he is an avowed
supporter of Judge Norwood.
When seen yesterday in reference to
the rumors which arose in connection
with his presence in Atlanta on
Wednesday. Col. Myrick stated to a
Morning News reporter, that he was
not a candidate for judge of the City
Court.
Col. Myrick said that it was true
that he was in Atlanta on Wednesday,
but that his visit there was for the
purpose of Witnessing the opening of
the Legislature, and that he was in
no way responsible for the rumor
which connects his name with the City
Court judgeship as a dark horse can
didate.

there" he said, lin the interest of

Col. Myrick Endorsed Judge Norwood
when the petitions were first circulate
ed, and has supported him for the

"H0ORAY FOR THE
WIFE FOLKS"
Cried Alex Ford, an Aged Negro.
When He Was Acquitted OF
Lunacy Charge in
the Court of
Ordinary.

When He Was Acquitted OF
Lunacy Charge in
the Court of
Ordinary.
''Hooray for the wife folks"
In this fashion Alexander Ford, an
aged negro, expressed his pleasure
yesterday afternoon when released on
a lunacy charge.
A trial of Ford in Judge McAlpin's
court was productive of interesting de-
velopments, and for while the hear
ing assumed stormy aspect.
Ford was arrested on a warrant
sworn out by T. F. Hall, white man.
Although a score of witnesses We're
examined il developed that Hall was
alone willing to swear that the de-
PENDANT was insane. This was eX-
planned by Mr.. Dreyer, representing
the accused, by the introduction of
laborer's lien which Ford had taken
out against Hall.
Mr.. Dreyer maintained that Hairs
sole object in swearing out the war
rant was malicious persecution, in that
it was not applied for until after the
laborer's lien had been levied In sub
sanitation of his contentious he in
troduced witnesses to impeach the
prosecutor. Hall insisted on inter
rupting the witnesses, and had to be
cautioned by the court several times
to desist. The jury believed the con-
tentions of the counsel for the old ne
gro and acquitted the accused.
The most damaging evidence against
Foru was that he had a way of hug
glng women of his own race when he
met them on the public highway. The
witnesses said that he was harmless,
and if the object of his embraces offer
ed any remonstrances, he straightway
desisted.
Ford, who is a rather loud mouthed,
good natured old darkey, was very
much delighted at the outcome of the
case and as he emerged from the court
room he let forth the yell of pleasure.
This is not the first time that Ford
has been arrested for lunacy He
spent one term in the sanitarium and
has been tried for lunacy and acquit-
ted since his release.

The above rule relative to members
Of Council selling material to the city
may be put in force. although it has
not been generally observed in a great
while
Alderman r. ]. Davant, who is

clam" he said
While it does not appear likely that
the rule viii be repealed il is probable
that it will be observed in a measure.
II is contended that il is manifestly
unfair TO shut aldermen out when bids
for supplies are called for, and il is
said that there is no disposition on the
part of Alderman Davant. or any one
else, to do this. II is intended, how
ever, that where contracts are made
with mem bers of the Aldermanic Board
it must be after a fair and square
competition, and that bids must be
asked for.
"Of course it would be manifestly
unfair to say that because a business
man is an alderman he must not sell
his goods to the city. even though he
offers them cheaper, or as cheap, as one
who is not a member of Council" said
a city officer. Il do not believe that
any one expects this, and think that if

he has a right to sell to the city. |

Western North Carolina is attract
i've at any season of the year, but
certainly during the spring months,
when the trees are budding and the
flowers blooming, what could be more
inviting than trip to this beautiful
mountain country?
The months of April and May in the
land of the sky and Sapphire coun-
try, including Asheville and Hot
Springs, n. C., are very enjoyable.
The climate at this season is delight
full, the scenery most beautiful and
the opportunities for the enjoyment
of sport, including golf, cannot be
surpassed.
The hotels in this region afford the
very best accommodations. If you
wish to know something of this de-
lightful region, communicate with
your nearest ticket agent, or address
