U. S. MARINES ARRIVE
FOR INTERSTATE SHOOT.

Under Command of Lieut.. WOoG
They VIII BE Here at Noon To-day.
The approaching interstate shoot
continues to absorb the interest of
Savannah rifiemen, and as the time
draws neardr, indications point to
success beyond the hopes of the most
sanguine.
The first detachment outside of the
teams now at Camp Lawton, will ar
rive to-day. This is the Marine Corps
team of twelve men from Port Royal,
under command of Lieut.. Woog. They
will make the trip on the government
tug Penncock, arriving at the foot of
Bull street at noon.
The Dothan Guards have written
that they will attend the match. The
expenses of this team will be paid
by the state of Alabama, under an
order just passed by Gov. Jelks,
though the team had determined 70
attend the competition even If 1t had
had to defray it's own expenses.
The detachment from Fort McPher-
son is expected Sunday. The officers
still hope to have a team from the
Seventh Cavalry present at the
matches.

pie, and my new assignment will place

The officer believes Col. Taylor
is several years his senior. He is known
personally to him, the two being warm
friends.
Chamber of Commerce Acts.
The regret at Col. Taylor's ieav-
ing is general, SO much so that at
a meeting of the Executive and FL
nance Committee of the Chamber of
Commerce yesterday resolutions were
adopted requesting the Secretary of
War to rescind the order assigning
him to the Florida post. These res
olutions were at once forwarded by
Col. Estill president of the Cham
Der, to the Secretary of War. The
resolutions were offered by Mr.. Lee
Roy Myers and were seconded by Mr..
]. H. H. Entelman. They are as fol-
lows:
Whereas, the Savannah Chamber of
Commerce has information to the eff
feet that Col. A. C. Taylor, command
ing Fort Screven, has been, or is about
to be, assigned to another post, and
Whereas, the members of this cham
general interests of this city, have per-
sonal knowledge of the work that Col.
Taylor has accomplished since he as
sumed command of Fort Screven. Sa-
vannah's principal defensive work, and
feeling that the retention of that vet
eran soldier, energetic officer, and much
liked gentleman, at his present post,
will not be detrimental to the good of
the service. but will be the means of
vii ho
tween the country's brave defenders
and the people of Georgia:
Therefore, be 1t resolved. that the
honorable, the Secretary of War; be
respectfully requested to countermand
the order assigning Col. Taylor to an
other post.
Resolved further, that the president
of the chamber be directed to forward a
copy of these resolutions to the honora-
ble the Secretary of War, and ask his
favorable action thereon.
Letters have also been written to the
War Department and to the Georgia
senators with a view to having the
order transferring Col. Taylor recalled.

Negro Ch0mberNna1u Is ChAF6cu
with Theft of POcISetbOOk.
In Woods place On West Broad street
and Perry lane yesterday morning
Hugh Wa1drope of Phoenix City, Ala,
an excursionist, lost his pocketbook
containing $15.75. and at once lodged
complaint at police headquarters.
Georgia Jones, a chambermaid in the
place, was arrested by Detective Bos-
tick for the larceny. and will be ar
raigned in Police Court this morning.
The woman denies all knowledge of the
theft and furnished bail FOR her further
appearance. The money was taken
from under the visitors pillow, and it is
claimed that the Jones woman was
the only one in the room after Wal
drope left.
The excursionist and two companions
occupied room in Woods place and
Waldrope slept with his money under
his pillow. When he got up yesterday
morning he forgot about his pocket
book and went to a downtown restau-
rant. He claims that he was in the act
of locking his room door when the
Jones woman stopped him, and said
that she had to clean the room. The
complainant says that he allowed her
to go in.
When the excursionist had finished
his breakfast at the restaurant he re-
membered that he had left his pocket
book in bed and hurried back to his
lodging house. The money was gone
and the woman claimed not to have
seen 1t. She was arrested by Detective
Rostick two or three hours afterwards.
During the afternoon Recorder Myrick
agreed to continue the case until Sat
urday, but when he was acquainted
with the fact that the witnesses for the
prosecution must leave the city tonight
he determined to hear the case to-day.

LOVE CAN'T FIND A WAY.
Many Difficulties Beset Couple Who
Want to Get Married.

Many Difficulties Reset Couple VINO
Want to Get Married.
Joseph Taylor and Willie Perry have
met with many difficulties in their de-
termination to take each other for bet
ter or worse. the age limits, prescribed
by law being the snag against which
their. matrimonial bark has bumped.
Saturday afternoon Taylor went to
the Ordinarys Office and made applI-
cation for a marriage license, giving
the name of Willie Perry as the bride
to be. His youthful appearance
prompted Clerk Molina to ask his age.
The negro replied that he would be 20
in January.
"You can't get license until them"
he was informed by Mr.. Molina. The
law specifies that we issue no license
for males under II or for females under
1S, without the written consent of par
ents."
Much Crestfallen Taylor left the Of
flee, after assuring the clerk that he
would return the next day, bringing
his father with him. He did not put
in an appearance, however. Tuesday
another negro went into the clerks Of
flee and asked for a marriage license,
giving the same surnames, but chang
ing the given names of the two par
ties. On being closely questioned he
acknowledged that he was seeking a
license for the same parties who APP
piled for one Saturday. On being in
formed that he could be placed in jail
for this offense he Immediately left
the Ordtnarys office without hearing
any part of the lecture that Clerk Mo-
lima was delivering on the dangers of
trying to outwit the law.
y Yesterday a minister of the gospel
called at the office of the Ordinary upon
the same mission. and employed the
same tactics as his predecessor. He
was also informed that if he ever tried
to practice this deception again that he
would be turned over to the sheriff. In
the meanwhile the couple will remain
single until they come of age or can
get the consent of parents.
