Omcers Say That They viii Only

spector.
The general order for the inspection
of the Georgia State Troops, which
is now being conductor by Inspector
General Obear, a copy of which APP
peared in the Morning News, was read
with a great deal of interest by Of
ficers and men yesterday, coming as
they did in advance of the notification
to the companies.
The men are aware from the scope
Of the INSPECTION that it will be a
very rigid one. The officers spent much
time in fanliliarizing themselves with
the order. Some objections were made
to the section which provides for an
inspection of the books and accounts
of the various companies. Some of the
officers maintain that the inspector
general has no right to inspect the
nrivate accounts of the company
Others hold that while the inspector
has the right, under the military code,
TO examine the books and accounts.
only those which pertain to the ex-
penditure of the allowance made by
the state need be submitted to him.
Some of the officers say that they In

hooks of the companies may not be

MRS. GRIFFIN AND KNOWLES
MAKE THEIR STATEMENTS
Progress Of the Trial Of the Pair for Murder al
observation-disclosures for the Defense.

OF the miles of beautiful parks that
interrupt the stretches Of street, of the
public buildings wherein are housed
the machinery of the municipal gov
eminent and its agents of execution, of
the charitable institutions where hui
manity receives balms for ailments
that the flesh is heir to, of water front
property, of franchise rights and other
available assets thatrgo to make up the
commercial value of a municipality
such as Savannah, few people here
have knowledge OF their intrinsic value.
No report notifying the world of the
value of Savannah's possessions has
ever been published, and no one feels
inclined to venture an estimate of the
marketable value of the municipal pos
sessions.
In few weeks, however, through the
agency of a government expert who is
now at work here, the intrinsic value
of the possessions Of Savannah will be
reduced to dollars and cents and pub
lshed to the world in a government re-
port to be issued some time in January.
Mr.. Fred C. More, of the Pension De-
partment, is in Savannah engaged in
the laborious task of invoicing every
piece of property of the city from pub
lie buildings down to the measliest
long-eared mule that labors between
the dump cart shafts. This work is
being done by the government for
publication that will be issued setting
forth the value of each municipality
in the Union of more than 10000 in

ATHENS WANTS

Decision.

Has offered a Site Pending Boards
Decision.
Athens. Ca, Sept. 24.-Athens will
make strong effort for the new Pea
body Teachers College if it is to be es-
tablished by the board of trustees OF
the Peabody fund.
This board will meet in New York
the first week in October and at that
time will decide whether or not to es-
tablish this college. The college will be
established or the fund will be divided
among the different Southern states, in
accordance with portion of the will
of Mr.. Peabody.
At the meeting of the board two COM
mittees will report. One is commit
tee that was appointed to report as to
whether it is advisable to establish a
large teachers college. The other is a
subcommittee. of which Hon. Hoke
Smith of Atlanta Is a member, which
will report as to the best place for a To-
cation of the college in the event the
board deems 1t best to establish one.
Yesterday morning the Committee on
Education from the Athens Chamber
of Commerce held meeting at which
President Edwards was also present
The matter was fully discussed, and a
committee was appointed by Chairman
Harry Hodgson of the committee to
prepare a memorial to the board OF
trustees, setting forth the many ad-
vantages of Athens and stating to the
board that the people of Athens will
furnish a suitable site for the college
in the event it is located here.
This committee consists of Chancel-
lor Walter b. Hill of the University
of Georgia and Mr.. 7. w. Reed of the
Athens Banner. The committee will
prepare the memorial at once, and il
will be signed by President Edwards
and the Educational Committee of the
Chamber of Commerce. 1t will then be
forwarded at once to the Subcommittee
on location.
The board of trustees of the Uni
versity of Georgia, at their session II
this city last June, passed a resolution
extending to the board of trustees Of
the Peabody fund all the facilities OF
the university for the use OF the new
teachers college. This committee vii
within the next few days formally make
the tender to the board on behalf OF
the university trustees. Other places
in other states will make an effort fol
this college, but it is believed here thai
Athens will be able to secure the in.
stitution, and no effort is to be spared
to achieve that result.

/ these Investigations have been filed In
Washington for the information of the
departments there, but in the future
they will be published for the informa-
ton and convenience of all who desire
to know these things.
Mr.. More has been in Savannah about
two weeks engaged in this work and
hopes to be through in the course of
ten days. In speaking Of his labors
yesterday he said that so far in his
investigations he had found that Sa-
vannah stood foremost among Southern
cities in the value of possessions, which
was largely accounted for by the large
holdings of real estate in the shape
of street parks.
II think that when I have finished
my work here, said Mr.. More yester-
day, that it will be found that Savan-
nah stands ahead OF most all of the
Southern cities, comparatively.
Il find that the most valuable part
of the city's assets, the parks. under
the existing law under which they are
held, can be cut up into lots and sold
under a vote of the people. This is
an unusual tenure, and though it may
never come to a question of whether
or not the taxpayers want to dispose
of the beautiful parks, there is always
a danger that the fanatics that exist
in every community may head a move
ment to desecrate them to the benefit
Of the common purse.
THE school buildings are owned by
the county. which is another unusual
fact. This is also true of the hospitals,
and II these institutions we're coasti-
tuted in the possession of the city ! am
sure that no city i'm the South would
be as wealthy in possessions as is Sa-
vannah.'
Mr.. More has Just finished working
cities in Florida. and from Savannah
he will go to other Georgia cities.
