NEW CONVICT LAW
CHATHAM SCHOOLS WILL NOT SUI
FER FROM ITS PASSAGE.
ACCEPTANCE HERE UNLIKELY.
COUNTY ROAD CAN BE CARED FOR
BY MISDEMEANOR CONVICTs.

Acceptancy of Felony COnvicts
Would Mean the ReIinquishment
of S2,656 of the state school Fund
by Chatham, Which Amount Com
missiOnera Would He Bound to
Make Up by Extra Appropriation.
Chairman Reid of House Ways
and Means Committee Talks of the
Bill.
There is a good deal of talk in sew
eral counties over the injury that it
is feared the provisions of the Fielder
convict bill will work to the school sys-
tenn. The bill is p most intricate one.
The public school system of Chatham
will in no wise be affected, however,
by the acceptance of the privileges be-
slowed on the County Commissioners in
accepting or rejecting it's provisions. If
the commissioners see fit to retain the
convicts for the purpose of using them
on the cOunty's roads. they will as
sumo a moral obligation to make up the
deficit In the school appropriation in
some other manner.
In Georgia there are two classes of
convicts; the misdemeanor convicts,
such as are kept in Chatham county,
and are employed in public improve
ments; and the felony convicts, which,
for greater crimes, are sent to the state
penitentiary. The law in no way af-
tectS the misdemeanor convicts, but
only affects the felony convicts sent
up for five years or less. The bill pro-
vides that each county in the state
shall have the option of working it's
own allowance of these felony con-
victs, prorated among the counties
in the proportion to their pop
ulation, or in the same proportion as
the total population of the county bears
to the population of the state.
Goes to Educational Fund.
At present the net hire of the state
convicts goes to the educational fund.
Each county has the option of taking
its proportionate part of those con-
victs, and relinquishing its claim to
its pro rata of that part of the school
fund derived from the hire of convicts,
or refuse to take the convicts and con-

their canvass for subscriptions yester-

tribute to the guarantee fund, and the

for the subscriptions is meeting with

To-day all the committees will be at
work, covering the entire retail dis
trict of the city. and it is thought
that they will almost complete their
work so that the books can be closed
up tomorrow. Matters are being push

the short time the committee has to

Dollars Salary.
The Cit$, Council held it's last after
noon meeting of the year yesterday and
the aldermen received their first pay
of $40 in gold. great deal of bust
ness was transacted at the lengthy ses-
sion, although most of the matters dis
posed of were of routine nature.
A petition from E. A. Massart, ask
ing that the city appropriate 1915 for
the First Regiment Band for free con-
certs in the park during the remainder
of the season was read. The petition
was referred to the Committee of the
Whole, and will hardly be acted upon
faVorably for the reason that the sea-
son is too far advanced.
A petition from the Savannah Fair
Association, asking for an appropria-
ton of $1,000 was referred to the Com

probably be given the association to-
wards holding fair in Savannah in
November.

UNREGENERATE SONS
CROSSED HOT SANDS.
Alec Temple of Shriners Took II
Into Its Fold.


Eleven unregenerate sons of the des-
ert hailing from the oasis of Columbus,
West Point and Savannah were taken
across the hot sands last night by the
loyal sons of Alec Temple, Mobiles of
the Mystic Shrine
The event was one of the most en-
joyable III the history of the Temple,
and every effort was made to make the
journey of the novices as agreeable as
possible.
The initiation took place at the Ma
sonic Temple, between and IL o'clock.
Light refreshments were served, but
the Shriners made the journey across
the desert so interesting that supper
was scarcely thought of until the I'M
regenerate had listened to the reading
of the Koran and become full fiedged
and loyal Shriners
At IL o'clock three large cars were in
waiting in front of the Temple, and
the Shriners were transferred to Thun-
derbolt, where a delicious supper was
served, and felicitous speeches made by
the illustrious potentates, and several
of the visitors.
The visiting potentates were Maj. ].
r. White, D. A. Joseph and Chas. R.
Russell of Columbus and all were at
their best in brief, but catchy talks.
The unregenerates who entered beneath
the protecting dome of the temple were:
H. G. Sapp, L. H. Chappell, I. F.
Pearce, T. r. Thornton, C. R. Midley,
j. Perry Green, NJ. H. Gardner and j.
E. Simmer of Columbus. George F.

Mr.. KROUSKOFF NOT
SERIOUSLY INJURED

Mr.. Julius Krouskoff, an account of
whose injuries at Starke, Fla, was
given in the Morning News. returned
to his home yesterday afternoon, and
with the exception of the fact that he
was carrying his left arm in a sling
he appeared to be all right.
Il am the liveliest man for a dead
man that ever was" he said. Il am
all right save for this broken arm. The
depot at Strake is nearly mile from
the town, and thought I could save
the time and distance by jumping from
the train at point nearer the city, and
that part of it in which l expected to
do business. stepped out on the plat
form and jumped off The ground
was slippery and 1 fell with my arm
under me with the result that 1 broke
1t in two places. Physicians set the
arm, and though it was rather painful
II was nothing really serious, and aside
from the inconvenience l feel no bad
effects from it."

SMALLER FINES FOR
VIOLATION OF CAB LAWS.

If an ordinance introduced by Alder
man Garfunkel yesterday becomes a
law, and Council seems to favor it, the
maximum penalty for a cabman who
violates either of the two sections
regulating cabs in the streets, will be
$40 or ten days, or both
An amendment was offered to Sec
ton 1929 of MacDonelrs Code, which
provides maximum penalty of $50 or
thirty days for blocking the entrance
to railroad stations or street crossings,
and to Section 1886, which provides a
similar maximum penalty to be i'm
posed upon drivers who do not remain
at the doors of their cabs.
In each amendment the maximum
fine is placed at $40. Recently in Po-
lice Court nearly all cabmcn arraigned
have been fined $25 by the Recorder.
1t was complained that persons
charged with more serious violations
were fined smaller sums and the agita-
ton caused the introduction of the
two amendments.

NO LIKELIHOOD OF
MONEY PINCH

Mr.. j. p. Williams View of the Se-
curity Markets.
Mr.. ]. P. Williams does not believe
that the securities markets are to suf-
fer very materially, notwithstanding
the ripple that has gone over the stock
market surface by numerous recent
failures in Wall street and the slump
in stocks that followed.
Mr.. Williams said that he believes
yesterdays decline in stocks was due
to liquidation as the result of over
buying on the theory that prices were
going up in a rush. He looks for no
unusual money pinch in Wall street
resulting from the withdrawal of funds
for crop moving or for other purposes
He regards the outlook for the rail-
roads as good.
