WARSAW TO HAVE
A MASS MEETING.
sunday Question VIII be Aired By
Both Sides.

Sundhy question VIII ne AiFeu D.
Both Sides.
The discussion among the citizens of
the Town of Warsaw as to whether the
town shall be a closed one in the tight
est sense of the word on Sundays. or
that the cafes shall remain open and
music be allowed as in last years, still
runs on. 1t was brought on by petit
ton to the new Town Council at its
first meeting, by the Thunderbolt I'm
ion Church. asking that the sale of
liquor on Sundays be prohibited.
The Town of Warsaw. better known
as Thunderbolt, has been for years, and
Is now. one of the favOrite nearby re-
sorts of Savannahians. 1t has been
and is also Savannah's yachting center,
because of its location and waterway.
Many people from the city go out there
to spend their Sundays or part of the
day, and in the last few years the num-
Der has increased greatly, because of
the attractions and accommodations az
forded at the Casino. Consequently
many Savannahians are interested in
its municipal government, and many
express the hope that no change will
be made in the Sunday government of
the town.
SOIne Oh the town of1clalS OF Warsaw
and several of its merchants say that
no change will be made. They argue
that the town being favored as a re-
sort means a good deal financially for
its business men and citizens, and
should the present open policy, which
they consider moderate and order
ly be changed, the town would become
dead. Besides, they say that the petit
ton which has caused the discussion
was not one of representative men who
control the business destinies of War
saw, it being signed in the most part,
they claim, by women and children,
and some of them under duress. One
citizen who has been long active in
the government of the town said yes
terday that those who have had the
municipal management of the town in
their hands for years, and have man
aged it successfully he thinks, have
something up their sleeve that will
quiet the minority, who are agitating
the discussion, if they deem it neces-
sary to let it loose.
To ascertain the status of all doubt
full citizens of the town and set at
rest justly the discussion, a mass meet
ing will be called for next Monday
night that those who have views to
express may do so publicly and that
the matter may be thoroughly weigh
ed The Town Council will probably
meet Immediately after the mass meet
ing and shape it's course upon the ac-
ton of the meeting.

HAS MORE MONEY
THAN EVER BEFORE.
Figures of City Treasurer Shows
Large sum ON Hand.

Figures of City Treasurer Shows
Large Sum ON Hand.
There was on Feb. /, more money
in the city treasury than at any other
time in the history of the city gov
eminent. This fact is shown in a
statement submitted to the Mayor, and
to the chairman of the Finance Com
mittee by the treasurer.
The exact amount that Maj. Hardee
had on hand on the first day of the
month was $21O.319.43 This sum has
been added to during the past three
days and the city now has more mon
ey to its credit than ever before at
one time. All taxes and licenses are
payable during January, and there
was steady rush last month in the
treasurers office. Even since
the last day of Janu-
airy the Taxpayers who were
behind in their payments have been
visiting the City Exchange and the
treasurer is being kept busy collecting
money, without being forced to place
executions in the hands of the city
marshal The showing that has been
made by the treasurer is gratifying to
Council.

GR0CERS TALK ZONE PHONE"
VIII Discuss Matter of Dispensing
with One at Next Meeting.

with One at Next Meeting.
The position taken by a majority of
the members of the Savannah Drug
gists Association relative to dispensing
with the use of more than one tele-
phone, as a matter of saving unnec-
essary expense, is likely to be fol-
lowed by the Retail Grocers Associa-
ton at it's next meeting. Whether the
plan will be adopted or not is, of
course, not now known. but it will be
brought up for consideration, accord
irg to the statement of one of the
prominent members of the organiza-
ton.
Speaking of the matter yesterday.
he said: Il was in favor of such an
action on the part of our association
a number of months ago, but because
there was no unanimity in the asso-
citation on the point, it was dropped
for the time being. However now that
another organization has taken the
matter up it will be brought up also
among our members"
The gentleman who has been chiefly
interested in having the druggists take
up this matter claims that the petition
circulated has been signed by all but
two members of the druggists asso-
citation, and that those who have not
signed have not yet been approached
but will be within a day or two, so
soon as the matter of an investigation
of the dispensaTy business has been
disposed of

THROWN OVER FENCE
INTO A FLOWER BED.
'InfernaI Machine" Scared Aunt
HIannie's Country Steed.

bout, and tro' bote me and ma hus-
band from top de seat O. de waggen
rite ober Mrs. Asendork ion fence, and

liams, whose avoirdupois is consider
ably over a tenth of ton, described the
accident which resulted from the
frightening of her horse by a motor
cycle ridden by Mr.. r. V. Connerat,
on Nov. l, last. One witness said that
her clothes looked like an umbrella,
as she made the descent.
The case was on trial in Justice
Bevans court yesterday. A judgment
for $50 was rendered in favor of the
old negro woman for injuries received
by her horse and wagon. MarVelously
enough, and probably only because
she and her husband lit on the soft
soil of an unoffending flower bed,
neither of the occupants of the wagon
recokned in a law suit, but they in
sisted on $99 for the damage to the
horse and wagon.
The verdict of the jury was returned
shortly before o'clock yesterday aft
ernoon. 1t is probable that an ap-
peal will be made. The plaintiff was
represented by Raiford Falligant and
the defendant by II. L. Colding.

LAWYERS WRANGLE OVER
"COUNTESS CLARA'S" ESTATE

Swamped With Claims Administra-
tor Seeks Direction of the Ordinary.
In the Ordinary's Court yesterday
an interesting question was present
ed to the court on the hearing of the
claims of the numerous creditors of
the estate of Clara Stewart, otherwise
known as Countess Clara whose
last act in life was to create a sensa-
ton by killing her lover for alleged
unfaithfulness and thereafter taking
fatal dose of poison. The incident is
still fresh in the memory of readers
of the Morning News.
1t happens that the assets of the
the size of the liabilities-an unfortu-
nate state of affairs, particularly for
the administrator, Max Sutker, who
fairly beseiged with claims and suits,
has thrown up his hands and appeal
ed to the Ordinary to help him out of
the difficulties of administration. At
the hearing yesterday afternoon, not
less than half a dozen lawyers were
present to champion their respective
claims.
rather unique point was raised by
w. F. Slater, counsel for one Teeple,
who submitted to the court that all
of the claims except his (and one for
medical services), are invalid, since
the goods furnished were rented or
sold with the knowledge that they
were to be used for immoral purposes.
Teeple'S claim is for furniture.
The lawyers representing the other
claimants objected with one accord to
the interposition of such an objection,
saying that a creditor had no right to
raise the question of the legality of a
claim, which had been passed for pay
ment by the administrator. On this
question, the Ordinary reserved his
decision, continuing the case until
Monday. On the question as to
whether Teeple had a prior lien on the
estate he decided that because of his
failure to have recorded his conditional
bill of sale for the furniture he for
feited his rights as a preferred cred
itor, and his claim would, therefore,
be considered on the same footing as
the Others

MOTHER OF CHILD
DENIED ITS CUSTODY.
Foster Mother Wept with JOY When
Little Girl Was Awarded Her.

Foster Mother Wept with JOY when
Little Girl Was Awarded Her.
"Just to think they should have told
all of those lies on me in trying to get
my dear. little girl" said Mrs. Fairy
Walter, the pretty little foster mother
of 3-year-old Clara May Walter, for
whose custody a bitter and determined
fight has been waged for two days in
the Superior Court, when informed Of
the courts decision. Mrs. Walter seiz-
ed the hand of her attorney, Mr. Raj
ford Falligant and pressed it warmly,
showering thanks on him as she wept
in almost delirious joy over the recov-
cry of her little girl.
But they never got you, did they?"
she said to the little one whom she
held close in her arms and who had
innocently been the object of a trial
replete in sensation. In contrast to her
almost hysterical joy was the grief and
chagrin of the natural mother of the
child Mrs. Ulaw Loab. who by the
order of the court was deprived OF the
custody of her offspring.
The decision of Judge SeabroOk was
in conformity of a well-established rule
of law that, unless it is proven that
the person having the custody of the
child is grossly incompetent to proper
ly rear it, it shall remain in the GUS
tody and control of that person. Judge
Seabrook said that while numerous
charges had been made by both par
ties, that he did not think that the ev-
idence showed the foster mother to be
an incapable and incompetent custo-
dian for the child whom, by the con-
sent of the mother, she had legally
in infancy.
MBs Walter was represented by Raj
ford Falligant and D. c. Barrow, and
Mrs. Loab by John +. Myrick.

10000 Per Hottie

This seems a pretty big price to pay
for a single bottle of medicine, and yet
if you consider the matter rightly, it
is a very cheap price for a bottle of
Johnsons Tonic.
Here is what fixes its value:
First. No man can die of fever who
uses il half way right.
Second. No other medicine can cure
a bad attack of grip.
500 is dirt cheap for this wonderful
medicine, and yet you can buy it for so
cents a bottle.
Don't buy 1t from substitutors. Your

and making money out Of you is their
business.

OYSTER PIRATES WORKED
A SLICK TRICK.
But Decree of Court VIII Prevent
Its Repetition

A decision in an important and rath-
err interesting case was handed down
by Judge Seabrook in the Superior
Court yesterday, when, after the re-
turn of a verdict for the plaintiff in the
case of August Oemler against Adam
Mcqueen and forty others, he passed
a general order, declaring the exclusive
rights of Capt. Oemler to tong the beds
for oysters, and finding damages in the
sum of $500 for the Illegal acts which
resulted from a conspiracy of the de-
PENDANTS.
This conspiracy was rather novel
one. The defendants, among the list
of whom appears the names of the sew
eral negroes who attempted to assas-
sinate Watchman G. D. Briggs on Jan.
3, while they were engaged in steal
ing oysters, brought suit in the Su-
perior Court, asking that Capt. Oemler
be restrained from preventing their
longing oysters on certain oyster beds
near Wilmington Island. A temporary
restraining order was granted against
Capt. Oemler, pending the hearing of
the case.
While this restraining order was
temporarily in effect the forty defen-
dants, most of whom are negroes, pro-
ceeded to make inroads on the oyster
beds. AS a result of days work they
got something like 10000 bushels of the
bivalves. Then Capt. Oemler came to
the city and had a restraining order
issued, asking that he be reimbursed
for the amount he had lost as a result
of the illegal acts of the defendants.
1t was the restraining order and dam
age suit which was heard yesterday be-
fore a jury. The jury sustained the
petition of Capt. Oemler in every par
ticular. An order was issued, under
the terms of which the defendants will
not be able again to turn the trick on
the owner of the oyster beds. w. w

Council may insist upon the hospi-

fire departments, who are injured on
duty, free of charge, in return for the
appropriation made by the city. The
subject was discussed in caucus last
night.
1t is planned to have the hospitals
care for members of the two depart
ments in all cases where the men are
injured while in the discharge of their
duties, and to furnish them with prl-
vate rooms. Charges are now made in
such cases. and the aldermen think it
only proper that the hospitals should
do something in return for the appro-
priations that are made annually. The
matter will probably be taken up at
once and gotten in shape for discussion
at the next meeting of Council.

The Window Glass Company With
draws Its Offer of a Profit
=. Sharing Scheme. 49,.

Pittsburg, Pa. Jan. 9.-Oficiai an.
nouncement is made to-day of the with.
drawal by the American Window Glass
company of the 5000 shares OF common
stock given to the Window Glass Workers
associations under certain conditions early
in 1900. 80 o,
This was one Of the profit sharing prop
ositions made to workmen by large cor
porations, and under it the participants
were not asked to invest any money, the
only requirement being that the workers
assist the company in operating its plants
nearly to their capacity.
The workers organization was to have
representation on the board and the stock,
which was turned over to the association
at $50 per share, was to be paid for out OF
the dividends.
The American Window Glass company
owns factories with a capacity of LOO
pots and has been able to operate only
about 1000 the past three years, on &C
count of the inability Of the workers Or
ganization to supply skilled workmen,
many of the workers being employed in
independent. factories.
