Detectives Got Back Metal Stolen

Detectives Got Back Metal stolen
from WiIIink's Shipyards.
The negro river pirate who escaped
from Detectives Stark. Murphy and
Bostick, under fire, Saturday night,
and who it was thought may have
been drowned, may be a prisoner at
the police station house. The detec-
tives have a suspect IN custody who
may turn out to be the man who es-
capped.
The officers are by no means certain
that they have the second man, but
they are inclined to think that they
have. The prisoner, of course, de-
clares that he is innocent of the
charge of theft, and says that he is
not the man who escaped from the
boat, and at whom the detectives shot.
When the river pirates were sur
prised, and Jim Holmes was made
prisoner, the detectives recovered 300
pounds of metal that was stolen from
Willink's shipyards. Yesterday the
same officers recovered 345 pounds of
copper nails and 44O pounds of sheet
brass. This was all of the metal that
was taken by the thieves when they
made their raid Thursday night.

THE MASSACHUSETTS MUTUAL.
Its o1st Annual statement.

The Fifty-frst Annual Statement of
The Massachusetts Mutual Life In
surance Company. will be found in an
other column. and will prove highly in
teresting reading to the many policy
holders of this stanch old company
throughout this state. There have
been substantial gains in every direc-
ton which give evidence of vigor and
steady progress-business gained by
intelligent progressiveness-no reck-
lessness-but on sound lines, with an
eye on the long run. A copy of the
presidents report has been mailed to
every policyholder. IT, however, those
who may be interested desire copies,
the same will be cheerfully furnished
on application to the Savannah agency.
One of the strong features of the
presidents report, and which is spec
tally noteworthy, is the fact that while
the company has more than doubled
its outstanding business in the last
ten years, the increase has been ac-
compliShed by a falling ratio of eX-
pense to premium receipts. Business
gained upon the merits of the article
sold and not by high pressure and d
disregarded for the cost. Another
striking feature is the fact that not
cent. business of reserve calculation
and the increase in new business, the
surplus distributed to policyhoders is
and has been constantly on the in
crease.
That the policyholders appreciate
and hold fast to their policies is evil
denced by the fact that the surrend-
cred insurance during the past year is
considerably less than during any of
the mast five standing
that the insurance in force has con-
stantly increased. An evidence of the
value of insurance in this company
was the statement made by a promi-
nent gentleman of this city, who has
from time to time increased his hold
ings, until now he has five policies,
who said: while of course, l put
aside from my earnings constantly,
yet the most money that I have ever
saved is in my Massachusetts Mutual
policies" 1t may not be generally I'M
derstand that the policies of this COM
pany are constantly growing and
valuably increasing asset
There was a time when strong ar
guments had to be made to induce
people to insure; now, however every
one recognizes the value of this great
est of all investments, and it's value
not only to dependent ones, but as an
available asset provided against some
unforeseen contingency, or as a pru-
dent provision for old age. There are
many good companies, but there is
none better than The Massachusetts,
Mutual. The company is represented
here by Messrs. Harry & Apple, who
are just entering on the tenth year
of their management of the state of
Georgia. They have built up a val
liable agency and count among their
policyholders many of our most reli-
able business man. Those who may
be interested in the vital subject of
life insurance would do we'll to con-
suit these gentlemen.

suit as FOrecasted.
THE high wind of Monday night
probably did as much damage
to tender vegetation as the freeze
WILL said Mr.. M I. Exley yes
terday. II had in the ground and we'll
sprouted about four acres of English
peas, and yesterday morning 1 found
the whole patch laid fiat on the ground
by the wind, and l fear they have been
badly damaged"
"A wind will some times do greater
damage to vegetation than cold, and
1 think this blow got in its work ahead
of the freeze, but of course, to what
extent, the damage has been, it is i'm
possible to tell. All other vegetables
were not effected"
Mr.. Exley still held to his opinion
that should freeze tonight the
peach trees will suffer great
ly. He said that the trees are in just
the right condition to be blighted, and
emphasized the statement that the
damage will be irreparable for the sea-
son if the weather turns out as has
been predicted.
Major G. NJ. Ryals who has large
peach orchards in Worth county does
not think the fruit will be damaged,
in fact be thinks the cold will prove
a benefit to the fruit. The news from
Atlanta and Americas indicates that
the fruit is likely to suffer very little.

WAS LOOKING OUT
FOR THE UNION.
LabOrer Whom Supt. BELL Found ut
Work on Bank Building.

LabOrer Whom Supt. BELL Found at
Work on Bank Building.
Supt. Bell, in charge of the construc-
ton of the new Germania Bank build
ing. had an experience yesterday that
he said is out of reach of any that he
has ever had as a builder.
When there is conflict between union
and non-union labor on any particu-
lar work it is frequently the custom
that the union men quit unless their
demands are acceded to. For a union
man to do exactly the opposite thing
in other words, to go to the work. pick
up tools and begin working, without
allowing the boss the courtesy of hir-
ing him, or the time keeper the pleas
ure of entering him on the time
sheets out of the ordinary. Yet
that is what happened at the new Ger
mania Bank building.
About an hour and half
after work had begun. in the
morning, Supt. Bell noticed that ne
had one man more working for him
than he had hired. Upon investigating
he found the extra man and inquired
of him how he came to be there The
man'replied that he had been sent there
by the business agent of the Savannah
Building Trades Council, with instruc-
tions to go to work and look out for
the union end of things.
Somewhat struck by the nerve
of the man welding a shovel
unlimited, or whoever was re-
sponsible for his being there, he all
lowed several minutes to elapse that
he might reassemble himself before
acting. A few minutes later the self
hired laborer was on the bank of the
excavation and moving away

"ooosNAhe suspects are HeId on
Two Charges Now.
On a charge of carrying concealed
weapons, Colding Small and Tom Pow
ell. the negroes arrested by Patrolman
Tim McAlpin early Sunday morning,
and believed by the county officers to

rants charging murder were sworn
out against both men in the office of
Justice Naughtin. This was done to
ward off any contemplated application
for bail. There is no direct evidence
against either of the accused, al

able to show that one of the five ne

Witnesses are being looked for and an

TO PLACE ORPHANS
IN FAMILIES.
savannah Committee 10 Look Out
for Homeless Jewish Children.

for Homeless Jewish Children.
Joseph Lodge of the B'nai Birth at
its next meeting will consider the APP
pointment of a committee to arrange
for the care of Hebrew orphans under
the plan Of the Home Bureau for Jew
ish Orphans adopted by the order.
At the national conference of Jew
ish Charities in Detroit last year the
disposition of the rapidly increasing
number of Jewish orphans was consid-
cred at length by experts in the care
OF dependant children. While asylums
are, and probably always will be, in
dispensable as refugees for the ma
jority of orphaned children, it was
recognized that the best place for a
child is in a proper home where it can
have the Influences and training,
which are afforded children who are
not orphans.
Acting on that line a Home Bureau
was organized through the aid of
which families willing to receive or
phans for pay, or to adopt them out
right, may be found. investigated and
brought in touch with the institutions
having charge of orphans and through
which may be found suitable homes
for such orphans as they desire to
place out, either for pay or adoption.
This bureau has been committed to
the charge of the B'nai Birth. Its
scheme includes the appointment of
local COMMITTEES by the lodges through
out the country to carry out the plan
of the charity; that is OF finding suit
able homes for the children now in
the institutions. The only Hebrew Or
phan Home in this section is that at
Atlanta. There is one also at New Or
leans. The committee of Joseph Lodge
will prepare a list of families willing
to take orphans and place them in
communication with the proper au-
thorities in the large institutions.
