CUT ACROSS GRASS
AND WAS ARRESTED.
Negro Pleaded Ignorance Hut Must
Answer Charge.

Negro Pleaded Ignorance hut Must
Answer Charge.
For crossing the grass in Pulaski
Square M. P. Black, a negro 81 years
of age, will appear in Police Court this
morning. -'
The prisoner will have the distinction
of being the first person arraigned for
this offense since the recent stringent
orders were issued to the police.
The arrest was made yesterday by
Patrolman r. E. Davis and Black was
sent to the police station house in the
patrol wagon. The square is directly
in front of the residence of the super
intendent of police, but the police chief
was at the City Exchange when the
negro was made a prisoner.
Black pleaded ignorance and will
probably say when arraigned that he
knew no better. The police have posi-
tive instructions to arrest or docket all
violators and every effort win be made
to break up practice that has injured
the squares and grass plats, and has
caused the Park and Tree Commission
to complain to the Mayor.

FORCE MAY BE USED
ON ASPHALT CO.
Bond Company May Be Notified of
Condition of Streets.

Bond Company May BE Notified of
Condition of Streets.
The asphalt trust may be forced to
toe the mark in Savannah.
Frequent complaint has been made
about the condition of the asphalt
streets, but the director of public works
has not as yet been able to get the
asphalt company with which the city
has a contract to do the work.
When this contract to keep the as
phalt paving in repair for five years
was made the company was required
to furnish bond in the sum of $4,000
This bond is held at the City Elk
change. The bond company may be
notified of the condition of affairs that
exist here and may be called on for
the $4,000 if the work is not done very
shortly.
The holes on Bull street have been
an eyesore for months and the asphalt
company has never even been willing
to say when it would send a force of
men to Savannah to repair the streets.
The delay has grown tiresome and
it is believed that the city will now
force the concern to do that which it
is under contract to do. The asphalt
company has $500 due it for work
done last wear.

tibule a life sized portrait of the dead
Pontiff was suspended, heavily drap-

a sombre tint to everything beneath.
The altar cloth was covered with

all the candlesticks were covered with
black. Throughout the Cathedral the
bronze columns are twined with folds
of black and white, with heavy cur
tain effects at the light bands. The
choir gallery show black drapery. with
white bows at the corners. The gener-
al effect in the interior is very digni-

real.

QUEEN Mass for the repose of the soul
of the late Pope has been arranged at
the Cathedral to be held next Thursday

WATS0N'S RESIGNATION
WILL BE ACCEPTED.
William II. Wright VIII Be the New
Member of Council.

H W HI DC Nht NCN
Member of Council.
At the session of City Council this
afternoon the resignation of Alderman
w. ]. Watson will be accepted.
While it is not a certainty, it is prob
able that William H. Wright will be
elected a member of the board at the
same time. Mr. Wright is slated to
take Mr.. Watsons place, and the
chances are that he will be named at
once.
Every effort was made to get the
chairman of the Streets and Lanes
Committee to remain on the board.
Although great pressure was brought
to bear, Mr.. Watson found it abso
lutely necessary, because of his bust
ness, to leave his associates on the
board The election of Mr. Wright
has been foregone conclusion for
some little while.
There is not great deal of bust
ness to be transacted by Council, and
the session does not promise to be
a lengthy one. Probably the most i'm
portant matter to be considered will
be the proposed purchase of the White
Bluff shell road. 1t will be determined
just what the city is willing to pay
towards the 81, 500 asked for the toll
road. The purchase will be made by
the city and county, and the county
will then expend about $4,000 in i'm
proving the road.

That the demand for engineering
graduates is constantly increasing is
amply proven by the fact that the
graduates of the Georgia School of
Technology are all at work in i'm

laboratories, places the school in the
lead of all southern technical schools
in the South.
Five degrees are offered in engineer

The equipment of the textile school
