Norman and kIuthO Each Get 5000
Cor City Hall Plans.
For submitting excellent plans for a
new city hall G. L. Norman of Atlanta
and H. j. Klutho of Jacksonville have
each been awarded 5000 by the Build
ing Committee of Council. Mr.. h w.
Witcover has been selected 10 draw
new plans for the city hall.
The selection of Mr.. Witcover, who
presented attractive plans to the Build
ing Committee, was an assured fact
None of the fourteen plans submitted
were entirely satisfactory and it was
decided, as was stated in the Morning
News, to reject all and employ an ar
chitect. Mr.. Witcover Will get to
work at once on a new set of plans
which will later be examined by some
expert, to be decided upon later
There are many who have contended
from the first that the contract should
be given to some competent Savannah
architect and the selection of MIR. Wit
cover is certain to give satisfaction.
The work will be done as rapidly as
possible and unless the building can DO
put up during the life of the present
administration there will be no city
hall.

ALL RESORTS HANDLING
BIG CROWDS.
Those Who Have Interests at These
Places Expect Banner Season.

Places Expect Banner Season.
Without exception those who are in
terested in the resorts in the vicinity of
Savannah figure that the present sea-
son will eclipse all others. Manager
c. B. Kidder of the Savannah Electric
Company is of the same opinion, and
has the company's rolling stock in ex-
cellent condition for the rush that has
already started.
With the additional summer cars
that have just arrived from Philadel-
phia, Manager Kidder is certain that
he will be able to handle the large
crowds this summer. and at the same
time give excellent service on the belt
lines in the city. Already the Tybee
season is on in full blast, and Proprie
tor Graham of Hotel Tybee expects
successful season. Tybee is we'll ad
Vertised and attracts thousands from
the interior.
The Casino at Thunderbolt seems to
be the objective point of the Charles
ton excursionists and the excursion
lists from the interior have taken to
this nearby resort since the salt water
swimming pool has been constructed,
so that it will hold water at any tide.
InlS pool has grown popular rapidly,
and Lessee Nelson has been forced to
name day for the lady patrons of
the resort. During the remainder of
the summer only ladies will be per-
mitted in the pool on Thursdays and
they will be given the Shoot the chute"

of the opportunity offered yesterday.

Booms circuit for this resort for frs
class attractions during the summer
months. Manager Kidder has about
decided to have only three matinee per-
formances a week, and dancing for the
children on the afternoons of the other
three days. The opera company will
play matinees to-day and tomorrow,
and close its engagement tomorrow
night. It's performances have been
successful from every standpoint
At Isle of Hope Mr.. Barbee is pre-
pared to handle large crowds. The
regular weekly dance was held last
night, and a large crowd went out TO
this popular resort. The shoot the

CONVICT GOT LIQUOR.
Factory Managers Don't Want
Whiskey Sold in NeiGhborhoOd.

1t has developed that the protest
filed by representatives of the factories
and mills west of the city against the
sale of liquor in the vicinity of the sew
eral manufactures was prompted by
the discovery that liquor had been sold
to persons employed in that vicinity.
The fact that liquor was being dis
posed of in the vicinity OF the factories,
and even on the premises, was first
made known by the discovery, it is
stated, that some of the convicts at
the Mill Haven Company's plant had
been drinking.
So far as is known it was not ascer-
tanned just who had been disposing of
the liquor to the convicts and others III
the neighborhood, but the howl that
went up from those in charge of the
factories stopped the sale of the OBJ
jectionable beverage. The managers
and superintendents of the manufac-
turtles were given to understand that
an application would be made for a
liquor license, and the protest was
filed with a view to blocking off the
granting of such license.

KNOCKED OFF A LADDER
BY DRAYMAN.
sued the Ocean Steamship Company
for $4,000 Damages.

j. r. A. Fulcher, a lamp trimmer for
the Savannah Electric Light Company,
while trimming an arc lamp on the
the Ocean Steamship wharves last
October. was knocked from his ladder
by a drayman employed by the Steam
ship Company. who ran his dray against
the ladder. The lamp trimmer was
badly bruised. his head was cut and
his left wrist was broken. He was
picked up In an unconscious condition
and taken to his home. Dr.. Corson
set the fractured wrist and attended
him for some time. Fulcher, however,
has been unable to do any work since
the accident, and sued the steamship
company for $4,000 damages.
The case was tried in the City Court
yesterday by Judge Twiggs represent
ing the injured man, and Mr.. T. NJ i.
Cunningham. Jr., representing the
steamship company. After listening to
the testimony and arguments for five
hours, the jury returned a sealed YER
dict which will be opened this morn
ing. 1t is not expected that it will be
for very large amount.
There was not much interest in the
case, except to the plaintiff and de-
PENDANT and their attorneys. The jury
was treated to all sorts of testimony,
however, and after the testi-
mony was in, to an hours
review of it by the counsel
with their comments and opinions.
There was a variety of effort on the
part of counsel to prove and disprove
various theories. The lamp trimmer s
inability to play piano, as the result
of the breaking of his wrist, was dis
cussed at some length. Whether he
had both feet on one step of his ladder
or whether one foot was on one step
and the other on another step when
he fell, whether the witnesses thought
he had taken one drink or ten drinks.
or whether from the smell the drinks
were whisky or beer or whether he
had taken any drinks at all, and vari-
Gus other items. were gone into. The
character of some of the witnesses was
attacked and the attorneys themselves
attempted to fall out. They wound
up though by congratulating the jury
and themselves that the case didn't
last any longer than it did.

paratory to opening the library to the

library and secure one; this will enable
them to have the card properly filled
out and filed by the time the institu-
ton is opened.
In a short time too, the numbers for
the books will have arrived, and the
work of putting them on will be begun.
When this is finished. which will be in
about two weeks, ii is anticipated, the
library will probably be ready to be
thrown open TO the public.

MAY WATER GARDENS
AN HOUR LONGER.
New Hours Have Been Named by the
Water Committee of ConnciI

New Hours Have Been Named by the
Water Committee of Council.
Those who want to water their gar
dens and sprinkle the streets need not
do so during the heat of the day The
Water Committee of Council has made
change in the hours during which
gardens and lawns may be watered
The new hours give an extra hour
for this work, too. Gardens may be
watered and streets sprinkled between
a. m. and 8 a. m. and between p.
m. and 8 p. m. 1t was shown to the
committee that plants are watered
early in the evening when the sun
is shining they are very apt to be
steamed and killed. For this rea-
son change has been made in the
hours.
The Water Committee is zealously
guarding the city's water and all of
those who violate the ordinance will
be -docketed and punished. The city
is determined to stop the waste of
water and house to house inspection
is being made by the, water inspectors
In the neighborhood of twenty -six
citizens will appear, in Police Court
this morning and answer charges of
wasting water. Several of the de-
PENDANTS are charged with letting yard
fountains run all day and all night,
contrary to an ordinance. One citizen
made the statement that he did not
know this was a violation and that
his fountain had been running about
seven years.

MAY ABOLISH COMMISSION.

Local Bills for Legislature Are

Present indications are that it is not
unlikely that at the coming session of
the Georgia Legislature an effort will
be made to abolish the Park and Tree
Commission. This is not a certainty.
however. and Mayor Myers has ex-
pressed himself as being opposed to
the abolishing of the commission.
If such a bill should be introduced,
however, it will be the only local meas
ure of any Importance that will come
up, so far as is known at this time.
The Legislature will convene on June
"a, and the session will probably last
the entire fifty days. The convict
lease system and the child labor bill
are the two most important measures
that will come ND.
One of the bills governing the con-
troll and use of convicts seeks to put
them at work on the roads, while the
other favors a renewal of the present
lease system. 1t is not believed that
either will pass just as drawn up. The
child labor bill may be passed in a
modified form. The opening session of
the Legislature promises to be largely
attended and the Citizens Marching
Club will probably take up a large
crowd.

Capt. J. ]. Gaudry succeeded Mr.. ].
P. Merrihew yesterday as secretary
and superintendent of the Savannah
Cotton Exchange to be effective June
l. Mr.. Merrihew's resignation had
been in for some time, and at special
meeting of the board of directors it
was accepted.
Mr. Merrihew had been superintend-
ent of the Exchange since 1888, and his
retirement was a source of regret to
members. During his administration
the records have been kept correctly.
Statistical accuracy was his fort, and
in the execution of the detail work
that devolved upon him he was al
ways credited with efficiency.
Capt. G'audry was the recipient of
congratulations upon his election. 1t
was conceded that no more generally
satisfactory selection could have been
made. For years he has occupied
prominent place in the cotton trade.
and his intimate knowledge of the bust
ness fits him admirably for the official
duties he is to assume. Coupled with
his fitness, Capt. Gaudry is popular
among members of the Exchange, as
was shown by the pleasure they eX-
pressed upon his election.
