TITLED AMERICAN WOMEN.

While it has for long time been the belief of loyal
Americans that who have married titles from
England the continent of just good blood and
lineage their spouses it has lately been conhrned by
undoubted authority.
This confirmation comes from the first volume OF
four books being compiled by St. Louis woman which
has just appeared and contains the and pedgrees

BEFORE EXECUTIVE
COMMITTEE OF DIRECTORS
Chairman Hanson and President Egan Will Ap
pear Today.

The rumored rupture between Pres
idant Egan of the Central and Maj. ].
y Hanson, chairman of the board of
directors. announced in the Morning
News yesterday, was the talk during
the day. not only among railroad men,
but in business circles.
The Executive Committee, composed
If Directors Hanson, Egan, Spencer,
Tawton and Steele, will meet in New
York to-day. While the Savannah di-
rectors disclaim any knowledge of the
recent differences between Maj. Han
son and Mr.. Egan, it is understood that
charges of extravagant management
will be investigated. Maj. Hanson is
understood to have preferred a formal
charge against President Egan with a
view to forcing his resignation. The
relations between them had been
strained ever since Mr.. Egan became
president of the road and rupture
has been imminent for some time.
Mr.. Egan, it is understood, is prepar-
led to meet Maj. Hanson's charges with
a full statement of his management.
The particular charges of mismanage-

ment are understood to be in con-
nection with improvements.
One of the points of difference not
however, included in Maj, Hansons
charges, is understood to have been
the advisability of selling the Bay
street property now occupied by the
Savannah Trust Co, and leasing for
the offices the new building of the
Citizens Branch Bank. Mr.. Egan OPP
posed this arrangement, it is stated.
While there is keen regret among
railroad and business men that a rup-
ture should have occurred, there is
little doubt that a fight is on and
speculations are being made as to the
presidency should Maj Hanson sue
coed in effecting Mr.. Egan's retire
ment. The belief exists that Maj
Hanson would himself become presi-
dent of the road, and the chairman
ship of the board of directors would
be abolished. This might not mean
that Maj hanson would attend to
the physical operation of the road,
for the same rumor has it that Supt
t. d. Kline would probably be made
first vice president and general man
ager, and Mr.. w. A. Winburn second
vice president and traffic manager
Should Mr.. Egan leave the Central it
would be with the regret not only of
Savannahians, but of people
throughout the state.

O'BRYAN NOT GUILTY.
Result of the Trial of the Canta-
IOuDe Case.

IOupe Case.
Valdosta, Ca, April THE case of
the state VS.. j. D. OBryan, the Pitts
burg fruit broker, who was arrested
some time ago on the charge of a
misdemeanor, resulted in a verdict of
not guilty, the verdict having been
reached about midnight last night.
after a trial lasting through nearly
three days.
The case was full of interest from
the beginning and was at times high
ly sensational.
The contention of the state was that
O'Bryan had made a contract with Mr..
j. y. Dasher of this city, for his en-
tire crop of cantaloupes for the sea-
son of 1902 at 81 a crate and all in eX-
cess of that amount, less commissions,
which O'Bryan was to have. O'Bryan
sent one ii. B. Butler to this city to
select the cantaloupes, see that they
were properly packed for shipment
and to ship them. He was to give
sight drafts upon O'Bryan for the
amount. The first draft was paid.
Then drafts for fourteen or fifteen
cars Wee refused payment Butler
and Dasher were notified to come to
Pittsburg, which they did. Dasher
found his cantaloupes-or many of
them-on the tracks unloaded. He
went to work and disposed of them
himself at a great loss. Then there
was an alleged settlement between
him andb O'Bryan, which did not sat
isfy him. He came home and swore
out a warrant for O'Bryan, under the
law of Georgia, which makes 1t a
misdemeanor to refuse payment of a
sight draft for farm products where
p sale has b6Rn made.
The defendant in the case contended
that the deal was entirely upon COM
mission basis, and that the canta-
loupes were green, tasteless and color
less. Butler testified to the fact that
they were green when loaded in the
cars, but that they would have ripen-
ed in transit had they been pulled in
stead of cut, from the vine.
The jury remained out about three
hours and returned the verdict of not
guilty. The case has attracted much
attention from shippers, as we'll as the
produce brokers.
