MAY GO TEN STORIES
PLANS FOR ANOTHER STEEL Of
FICE BUILDING FOR BULL
STREET.
TO COST S250,0oo OR MORE.
OWNERS OF GILMER PROPERTY
CONSIDERING PROPOSITIONS.

Building to Front Court House
Square-May Include an Up-to-
Date HoteI-Win be the Third Of
flee Building on Bull Street and
the TaIlest of Them - Business
Firm Said to Have offered to
Lease the Lower Floors or Will
Put Up the Building and Assume
the Rent.
There is a possibility that Savannah
will have another ten-story or posi-
bly, larger, steel office building on its
principal street, in the center of it's
business section in the near future.
The owners of the property on the
northwest corner of Bull and State
streets have recently been considering
the erection of a handsome building. and
it is rumored that they are now con-
sidering plans for a structure to
cost not less than s250,O00. A prom
inent architect of the city has prepar-
ed several sketches of buildings of the
kind that would best answer the wants
of the owners. and these have been
carefully gone over.
1t is said that prominent business
firm of the city has made the owners
of the site several propositions with a
view to building and the propositions
are being considered. One of the pro-
posals made to the owners by the firm,
it is learned, is that the firm will con-
tract to lease the entire first floor for
a number of years if they will build
a building which the firm desires.
Another proposition made by the firm
is that it will build on the site if al
lowed and manage the building until
ii pays for itself and then turn ii over
to the owners, the firm retaining a
reasonable amount of interest on it's
money, or it will build and repay it
self with rent.
The lot is a larger one than the site
of the Germania Bank building, and
ten-story structure would be a much
larger building. 1t is a fine site, and
would add greatly to the appearance
of the hub of the city. Such building
as is proposed, along with the new
Germania Bank, which will be finish
ed in the neyt several months, and the
new National Bank to be erected on
the northwest corner of Bull and
Broughton streets, will change the
appearance of the most central portion
of the business section of Savannah. 1t
is said that the plan is to have a COM
bination office building and modern no.

Both sides admitted the killing of
the animal, and all agreed that the
mule was to blame, but when it came
to the question of contributory negli-

MAYOR MYERS FAVoRS A FAIR.
Cheap Rates on Railroads win
Bring People Here.


Because it will advertise Savannah
and bring people to the city, if for no
other reason, Mayor Herman Myers IA
vors the holding of a fair here sometime
in the fall. Mr.. Myers has so express
ed himself. and hopes that the present
agitation in that direction viii not be
dropped.
Il am in favor of any move that will
help the city" AIr. Myers said in dis
cussing the proposed fair. 1T seems
to me that Savannah could very easily
make a success of a fair held independ-
entity of the State Agricultural Society.
1t does not appear to me that il is al all
necessary 10 have the agricultural So
ciety behind the fair TO make it sue
cess. I should think that We could have
a fair of our own that would compare
favOrably with any State Fair.
"Of. course matters should be so ar
ranged that the dates of the Savannah
fair would not conflict with those of
the State Fair at Macon. We do not
want To run in opposition to the fair
that viii be held under the auspices OF
the agricultural society. That would
never do. Savannah is always attrac-
tive and people are always ready and
willing to come here. With a fair on
however and horse races, the railroads
would give cheap rates and strangers
would have extra inducements offered
to them. It helps Savannah to have
people come here and inspect the city,
and it helps the merchants. too. These
visitors leave money behind them and
perhaps some of them are so attracted
that they come back and become a part
of us. You may say that l favor hold
ing a fair here, because it means cheap
rates on the railroads, and because it
means the presence in the city of many
strangers

LAWYER QUIT HIS CASE

when Associate Counsel Learned IL
He, Too, Threw Up Sponge.
The second attempt of the relatives
of little Clara May Walters to obtain
the possession OF the child, who is now
in the custody of its foster mother,
Mrs. Fairy Walter. came to a farcical
ending in the Court of Ordinary yes
terday when, after a motion to con-
tinue the case had been Overruled by
Judge McAlpin, and the case had been
ordered to proceed to trial. Mr.. John
E. Myricl1, counsel for the applicants
for writ of habeas corpus. left the
court room. A few minutes later he
'phOned to Judge McAlpin that he had
severed his connection with the case.
The telephone call interrupted the
proceedings of the court, the phone be-
ing just at the Judges elbow. When
he had ascertained Mr.. Myrick's inten-
ton he conveyed it to Mr.. w. F.
Slater who was at that time engaged
in arguing the case in behalf of Mr..
Myrick's clients. Mr.. Slater informed
the court that he had just been engaged
by Mr.. Myrick to help him with the
case that he knew nothing of its mer-
its, and was not prepared to so on with
it. Judge McAlpin told him that he
would allow MN time 70 famlllarlZe
himself with it. but counsel gracefully
declined. intimating that he already
knew more about it than he cared to.
The case was then dismissed on mo-
ton of Messrs. D. c. Barrow and Raj
ford Falligant; attorneys for Mrs. Wal
ter. Mr.. Myrick explained after the
trial that his sudden devastating was
induced by the fact that he had not re-
ceived certain fees which had been
promised him. Mr.. Jacob Loeb, the
husband of the natural mother of the
child, who is endeavoring to secure its
custody, Indignantly denied this He
said that he had already paid counsel
more than the value of his services. He
says that the fight for the possession of
the child has just begun, saying that
anyone who knows the feeling of
mother toward her first-born would NOT
be willing to believe that the matter
is at rest

GRAND JURY WILL.
RECEIVE REPORTS.

General Presentment to be Made
Monday when Court Adjourns.
The grand jury of the Superior Court
will meet this afternoon for the pur-
pose of receiving the reports of the
various committees, preparing general
presentments and returning indict-
nlents. So far as is known there are
no matters to be brought to the atten-
ton of the grand jurors by Judge Bar
row, and it is probable that they will
retire at once to the consideration of
the numerous matters of Importance
before them.
The various committees of the jury
have been actively engaged for the
past two weeks in the preparation of
the reports in their respective depart
ments. These reports will be re-
cetved, and the general presentments
of the body will be discussed, though
it is not probable that they will be re-
turned until Monday afternoon, at
which time the last meeting of the
body will be held.
The court will adjourn either on
Monday or Tuesday. Wednesday is
the last day on which court may be
held under the law, but as there are
no matters set for a hearing next
week, it is probable that the court
will adjourn on one of the days men,
toned.
