FAVoRS SOME 0WNERsHIPs.
Mayor Thinks MunicipaIities should
Control Water supply.

Control Water supply.
The convention on municipal owner
ship, now being held in New York,
is attracting the attention of the
heads of municipal governments all
over the country. Opinions on the
subject are varied.
Mayor Herman Myers is in favor of
municipal ownership of water works.
and in some cases he favors municipal
tiles owning the lighting franchises.
Mr.. Myers has expressed himself on
this subject quite a number of times
and his sentiments are generally
known.
He favors cities controlling the water
supply because it is closely connected
with the health conditions, and as a
rule municipalities give it more atten-
ton than it would probably receive
were ii controlled by outside parties.
In lighting franchises Mr.. Myers ia
Vors municipal ownership when cities
are bled by corporations. He thinks
that it is high time then for the suf-
fering cities to take charge of the
lighting franchises.
The Mayor opposes the municipal
ownership of street railway systems
This he thinks would prove a trouble
some possession for a city. He OPP
poses the ownership of railroads by
the national government, and thinks
that street railway franchises bear
the same relation to a municipality
that the railroads do to the national
government.

To-day.
The members of the bar will meet
to-day at l o'clock in the Superior
Court room to take suitable action on
the death of the late Henry B. Tomp-

At this meeting a committee VIII be
appointed to draft resolutions, recltlng
the valued services of Judge Tompklns
both as jurist and as "a member or
the bar the esteem in which he was
I held by all classes of citizens and the
great regret which the news of his
death occasions. These resolutions will
be sent to his family, subscribed on
the minutes Of the court and published
in the newspapers.
The meeting will be attended by
many members of the bar. notice
was circulated yesterday among those
members of the bar who We're we'll ac
was signed by them. Among these
whose names appear are Col. William
Garrard who was FOR some time
partner of Judge Tompkins, and Messrs.
Walter q. Charlton. q. A. Mercer, @.
A Mercer, Jr., r. Il. Richards, J. r.
Saussy and Judge T. M. Norwood.
Judge Tompkins' death was noted
yesterday in the Morning News. Ills
death occurred in Atlanta, where he
civ fAfla to
service on the bench. He was Judge
of the Superior Court here for two
terms, a. a time when the lawless ele-
ment was in the ascendency. BY his
indOmnitabe courage and integrity he
restored law and order during the re-
construction period, and for the fear
lessness and courage of his own con-
victions he will long be remembered by
a grateful people.
1t was during the time of his service
on the bench that the notorious TuniS
Campbell. whose outlawry terrorized
the people of Mcintosh county, was
convicted. AS a result of Judge Tomp-
kins' sentence in that case a riot Oc-
CURED among the negroes. Coroner
Hamilton was shot in the leg. 1t was
Judge Tompkins who took him through
the country in a buggy to escape the
fury of the mob. During this time of
great peril ne acted with courage ana
fortitude, and by his official actions
freed the people of the unholy oppres-
sion and tyranny that was then ram
pant.
During his last administration every
tipping house in Savannah was. for
quite a long period of time, closed on
the Sabbath, and the morality of the
city was never better. He was a man
of ability, ever Jealous when the rights
of the people were concerned, and a
conscientious and hard worker Dur
ing his occupancy of the bench the
dockets of the courts were kept clear.
1t was his motto to leave nothing for
the morrow which could be done to-
day.

|. G. HAAS AT HEAD OF
SOUTHERN INDUSTRY.
Empire PIOw Works Has Absorbed
Austin-Bryan Co. of birmingham.

Austin-bryan Co. of Birmtng ham.
Mr.. Isaac G. Haas of Cleveland, o.,
arrived in Savannah yesterday, and
will be here until tomorrow. He is
just from Birmingham. Ala, where the
absorption of the Austin Bryan Manu-
featuring Company by the Empire
Pillow Works of Cleveland. of which
Mr.. Haas is president, was completed
few days ago.
The Austin Bryan cOmDany's works
are at Ensley. The entire plant has
been absorbed by the Empire Plow
Works. and will be known as the Biz
mingham Pillow Works Mr.. Sol Haas
who was long at the head of the Sloss
Furnaces in Birmingham. is interested
in the reorganization of the industry,
which will be in full operation by
June 1.
Mr.. Isaac Haas, president, and Mr..
Elias Haiman. vice president of the
Empire works in Cleveland, will be at
the head of the Birmingham company,
which is practically a part of the
Cleveland company.
Mr.. Haas will place the contracts in
a few days for the electrical power for
the new works. New shops are being
erected and orders have been placed
for several carloads of machinery The
company will manufacture agricultural
implements the same as at Cleveland.
A feature of the industry will be the
manufacture of beams and wood work
for agricultural machinery. AS an ev-
idence of the extent of this branch of
the industry the company is now in
the market for 100000 feet of oak
timber.
The purpose of his company in ac-
quiring the Birmingham plant, Mr..
Haas said. is to supply the Southern
trade. The opportunities and advan-
tages of Birmingham for the manufac-
ture and distribution of agricultural
implements in the South are great.
The freight rates based on large ton
mage handling and the favorable con-
ditions governing the supply of steel,
iron and woods, should result, Mr.. Haas
believes, in the exclusive buying of
agricultural implements in the South
Familiarity with the business through
the success of the Cleveland enterprise
enabled Mr.. Haas and his associates
to recognize the advantages already
demonstrated by the successful manu-
facture of agricultural implements in
the South, in the trade already built
up in the Southern and Southwestern
States and in Mexico.
The addition of the Southern plant
to his large interests in Cleveland will
bring Mr.. Haas to the South oftener
than heretofore. He will still retain
his Savannah business.

to Mr.. Robert Bacon, a partner of j.
Pierpont Morgan, put into Savannah
yesterday morning to avoid rough

it disagreeable for her passengers she
was brought to Savannah.
Mr.. Bacon is not aboard, but his
father MI D. r. Bacon, brother Mr..
Dan Bacon and party of five other
persons are passengers. To while away

with its beauty and the excellent
weather that they have decided to stay

EXTENSION OF PIERS.
Gen. Gillespie's Report: Made Public
TODAY

Today.
The report of Gen. Gillespie, chief of en-
gineers on the Chelsea river Improvement
at New. York city, involving the extension
of the piers used by ocean steamships was
made public today by Secretary Root. In
it General Gillespie says:
"A personal examination of the site of
this Improvement was made on the 18th In
slant in company with thescommissioner Of
docks and ferries. and others. and i was
observed that the project approved by the
Secretary of War In 1895 is now in process
of execution. and when completed will pro-
vide slips 500 feet. deep, estimated inside
from the adopted pierhead line.
THE within application Is for authority
to extend the pierhead line farther dis
tance of 200 feet outward, calling for an en-
croachment to that extent upon the navlEa-
BILE waters of the harbor. =
IF this application be granted, the slips
may be made 1000 feet deep along the sec
ton considered. and the width of channel
between pierheads Of opposite shores there
after will be reduced to 2.585 feet and still
further reduced to 2, 1896 feet. II the appii-
cation of the riparian commission of New
Jersey for an equal extension OF the pier
head line at Castle Point be also granted.
THE chief of engineers has given this
matter very careful consideration, and is
of the opinion that the pierhead lines on
both shores at this locality have been
placed as far out into thesnavigable waters
as it is safe and wise for the interests OF
the harbor to place them: and that II fur
ther encroachments are permitted to be
made. 1t will be only at the sacrifice or
portion of the present harbor and channel
capacity, and at the expense of public COM
mercial interests connected Herewith,
which interests are under the protection OF
the general government.
1.-The chief of engineers is still of the opin-
ion that the application should be denied.

THE DYNAMITE CASE.
Rossio Only Purchased Some Paper II
This City,


NEW YORK. May 20.-Many rumors are
af1oat concerning alleged important devel-
opments in the Cunard pier dynamite case
resulting from the visit of Detective Ser
geant Gargan to Washington a week ago.
Captain McClusky has been besieged by
reporters for the alleged startling informa-
ton that is supposed to be known to the
Washington police. He declines to discuss
the matter, however and says there has
the case. 1t is stated that the police have
learned that Rossio or Rosseau, as the
alleged dynamiter is known, purchased
some writing material at Washington
store and wrote a letter there. The letter
was mailed to this city. and. 1t is stated,
is In the hands of the police. What If any
thing. is contained in the letter about the
dynamite affair is not known except to the
police.
Captain Boardman said to Star re-
porter this morning that he knows nothing
of additional developments in this city in
the case. So far as he knows the New
York detective who visited this city a week
ago and was assisted by Detective Harti-
since that time. He denied that he knew
anything of the alleged big thing under
cover mentioned in a New York paper
this morning While the New York de-
tective was here last week he visited a 7th
street store with Detective Hartigan. 1t
was at this store that Rosseau made the
purchase of fifteen cents worth Of writing
material and wrote the letter mentioned in
the dispatch. The New York officer was
here only a few hours and nothing has been
heard from him by the local police since
he left here.
