CARTER SAYS HE'S COMING
BACK TO SAVANNAH.

Detective Thomas Hewitt has re-
turned from the Convention of Chiefs
of Police whach was held in New Or
leans last week. While there he be-
came acquainted with all of the lead
ing police authorities throughout the
Union.
Among the most interesting men that
he met was Warden McGiaury of Leav-
enworth prison. The warden told De-
tective Hewitt he might expect to see
Oberlin M. Carter walking the streets
of Savannah a short time after
Thanksgiving Day. On that day Car
ter will be released from custody, and,
according to the story brought by De-
tective Hewitt. will come soon after
to Savannah.
Carriers intention to move back to
Savannah has been reported before in
the Morning News. When Mr.. H. G..
Stone, his leading counsel, was here a
short time ago, he said that his client
was anxious to come back to Savan-
nah. The report brought by the de-
tective from the Leavenworth warden
but verifieS the assertion.

BENNETT RELEASED
UNDER $1,000 BAIL.
Condition of wounded Men in
Bryan-DOss Affair.

Condition of wounded Men in
Bryan-DOss Affair.
James 7. Bennett, who has been held
in Jail for the past three days as an
outcome of the shooting ARRAY in Cad
Bryans saloon Monday morning, was
released under $1,000 bail yesterday.
f. c. Gleason stood his bond.
An application was made to Judge
Barrow in the morning for admission
to bail by D. c. Barrow, Esq, Ben
nett's attorney, but this was denied,
no physicians certificate being pre-
scented. Later a certificate, stating
that the condition of Evans, whom
Bennett acknowledges he shot, was
such as to warrant the release Of the
accused, was presented, and Bennett
was forthwith released.
When he was released he was pre-
scented with a fat roll of bills, which
had been taken from him when he
was first arrested. A bullet had torn
its way through the center of the Wad,
and disfigured the specie considerably.
This money was given to Bennett by
BRYAN shortly after the shooting. Bry-
an accounts for the holes by the state
ment that the money was in his hip
pocket.
Bennett was a happy man when he
emerged from his cell. To a reporter
of the Morning News he stated that it
was only the assurance of his inno-
cence that prevented modification.
This, he said was the second time
within a few months that he had been
arrested. on both occasions, he said
he had done no wrong. The other time
which he referred to was his arrest as
a cheat and swindler. on the prelim-
mary hearing he was discharged, there
being no evidence to sustain the charge.
There has been no change in the con-
dition of any Of the wounded men.
Evans is still in a precarious condition,
ard the attending physician, DIR. Nor
ton, states that it will be several days
yet before he anticipates any change.
The patient suffers much pain. the
wound being through his lung. He is
forbidden to talk about the affair in
which he was shot.
Doss is confined at the same house
with Evans. His injury, while not
dangerous. has caused him much suf-
fering The fever which he had on
the day previous disappeared yesterday,
and it is expected that he will be out
in a few days.
Bryan is still confined at St. Joseph's
Infirmary, where it is stated his con-
dition is practically unchanged.

SEEMED HOT, BUT
MERCURY ONLY SO,

The population of Savannah was
very nearly in union yesterday when
singing "ain't it hot" Between the
hours of noon and p. m. there were
any amount of citizens who would
have wagered all kinds of Confederate
money that the thermometers would
have to be extended if such a rise was
followed, and others who thought the
boiling point was almost touched.
That it was hot at midday, and again
during the late afternoon, when the
correct imitation of a thunder storm
appeared in the west, and then disap-
peared without even helping the house
holders by sprinkling the lawns.
The Fourth of July, from all tradi-
ton should be hot, and those who were
out yesterday morning thought that
the weather was warming up for the
fourth-anG yet the records in the
Weather Bureau show SO degrees as a
maximum. That is very little comfort
for the people who lost two or three
pounds by evaporation, and it is like
" that some will insist that, like the
sums that come wrong at school, sit
was wrong in the book" The little
tubes up on the postoftice are not in
fiuenced by the breezes, however, and
the very light wind yesterday was
partly the reason for the great oppres-
sion felt by those who were out and
about at midday.

LYCEUM BOYS

Selected the PnpaI CoIOrs, Yellow
and White for Their own.
An enthusiastic meeting of the
Young Mems Lyceum of the Sacred
Heart Church was held last night.
Eight new members were elected, CIV
ing the organization a membership now
of eighty-three. This probably will be
greatly enlarged shortly, as, last night,
the constitution was amended to al
low married men to become honorary
members of the organization with the
right to use the gymnasium and the
reading room.
Mr.. Eden Rousseau who has been
chosen physical director of the
Lyceum, made an address to the mem
bers in which he explained the neces-
sity for careful and systematic work
on their part. He invited all mem
bers to be present at the gymnasium
tomorrow night when their measure
ments will be made. The gymnasium
will be open each night of the week
and instruction will be given on Tues
day and Friday nights.
A committee was appointed to make
interesting the initiation of new mem
bers, while the committee having in
hand the arrangements for the troll
ley ride to be given July II for the
benefit of the gymnasium fund re-
ported that the outlook is for a most
successful affair. The Lyceum select

AUTOMOBILE PEOPLE
WILL MAKE PROTEST.
Don't Want Speed Restricted to a
Dog TrOt.

Dog TrOt.
People interested in automobiIing in
Savannah, and the number is consider
able, are all interested in the bill now
in the Georgia Legislature, which pro-
poses to limit the sped of machines in
the cities and country to eight and
fifteen miles, respectively. This would
be a great blow to the sport which is
now assuming large proportions in Sa-
Vannah, and as far as the local en-
thusiasts can see, has been a harmless
pastime.
Savannah, with more machines than
all the other Southern cities put to-
gether, can show almost a clean rec
ord. There is no knowledge of any
serious accident-not a life has been
lost, directly or indirectly, connected
with automobiling. Some few runa-
ways occurred when the autos first
came, and some accidents to machines
in the hands of amateurs too confident.
The usual number of long walks home"
after a punctured tire and some
scratched faces after an attempt to
make too short a turn without SLOW
ing up are told Of; but these are not
OF consequence.
Within the last few months a man
was hiHeu ~ ." Noili9iOli WIN a oiCS
cle, and a small boy had his arm
broken by being run over by a grocer's
wagon-but the autos have behaved
beautifully.
A strong petition, numerously sign
ed, will be sent to Atlanta protesting
against Mr. Calvin's bill. The owners
and users of autos will ask that the
speed allowances be eight miles for
city driving and twenty miles for
country roads. The petition will be
circulated for signatures to-day.

ON AGENTS REPORT

OF BOTH THE WATER AND THE
FIRE DEPARTMENTS.

These Announcements Made Mt
Meeting of Chamber of Commerce

Tariff Association YesterdaY-May-

for the Desired Tests-Secretary
c. c. Fleming Announced New
Tariff Is Being Prepared for Sa-
vnnnah and other Cities-Chamber
of Commerce VIII Seek to Have
IL Per Cent. Removed Immediately
After Test Is Made.
Savannah may get lower rate on
fire insurance but whether it does or
not depends upon the report that will
be made to the Executive Committee of
the Southeastern Tariff Association by
Inspector Lawton after he has made
an inspection of both the fire depart
ment and the water department of the
city.
This was stated at the meeting of
the Water Committee of Chamber of
Commerce yesterday. Secretary c. C.
Fleming of the Southeastern Tariff AS
ISOLATION and Inspector Lawton were
present as were a number of local bus
mess men, among them Messrs. Leo
pold Adler, chairman of the Water
Committee; Lee Roy Myers, William
Kehoe, ]. d. Carswell and F. c. Bat
tey of the same committee; w. L. Will
son, w. T. Hopkins, r. ]. Davant, w.
M Coney, w. F. Daniel, George S.
Haines. Herman Myers and j. H.
Estill.
All matters relating to insurance in
Savannah were gone into. Mr.. Fleming
stated that the association is now pre-
pairing new tariff for most of the
cities in its territory which means that
Savannah will be given a new rating.
He stated, however, that the first and
best thing to be done for the removal
of the Is per cent is to have the wa
ter and fire departments inspected.
Mayor Myers stated that authority
to do this would be given by the city
and that the chief of the fire depart
ment would be instructed to give the
inspector ever aid in this work. In
spector Lawton will begin the inspec-
ton this week, and will make it a most
thorough one, testing fire plugs in ev-
cry part of the city. 1t is expected
that it will take him a week to COM
plete the work.
If the inspection shows the depart
ments to be in good condition and
there is little doubt that it will, the
Chamber of Commerce will Immediate
ly take up the matter of having the
Is per cent. removed without waiting
to have the new tariff announced.
