which they had insisted when they were
ready to yield more than year before.
They had not been holding out for indie

leaders and for the return to South

also the gift of sl5,oO000O in cash to be

assurance that self-governmeflt on colon

IDENTIFIED
 SAFE BLOWERS Men Caught in Mobile
 Had the Property. MAY BE BROUGHT BACK @ Controversy over Disposition of DriScOll and Russell. Captain Taylor in Gulf City Claims Crime Was Committed in Ala
 bama and He Should
 Have Preference.

The Montgomery Police Department will do everything in it's power to bring Az pert DrlscolI and J. D. Russell, the men arrested in Mobile, to Montgomery to am swer to the charge of burglarizing sew eral Montgomery stores Tuesday night
 Chief A. Gerald, on information from Police Captain Taylor, who is in Mobile, sent four warrants for the men last night to Captain Taylor with the order to use every e1rort to have the men brought here. Two of the warrants charge burg lary and two charge grand larceny.
 The information received from Captain Taylor indicates that there Is little doubt that the men in Mobile are those wanted here. When Captain Taylor left Mont gomery to go to Mobile, he carried with him a piece of broken drill which was found in the store of the Forbes Company after the safe had been blown open. This piece fits exactly broken drill which the two men had in their possession when arrested on their arrival in Mobile. In their effects was found a lot of small change, among which were several rolls of 25 cent pieces, wrapped in packages of s each The wrapping bore the stamp of the First National Bank of Montgomery. Fourteen or fifteen half dollars were also found which Hirscher Bros. had in their safe before the robbery. fourteen or ff- teen Columbian half dollars and q number of silver quarters in $5 packages. of the men are scared with powder marks. Dynamite was used in the safe cracking and the accused men had dyna- mite when arrested.
 Chief Gerald thinks there is no doubt as to their identity being the same as the men who worked on the Montgomery safes.

night to aid in identifying the stolen property. ''
 Police Captain Taylor will probably reach Montgomery this evening, as Chief Gerald has ordered him to return today. If possible he will bring Driscoll and Rus sell with him, but the Jacksonville Fla, detectives in Mobile, who caught the men. want to take them to Jacksonville to answer the charge of safe-breaking there. Chief Gerald thinks, however. that the warrants from here in the hands of the Mobile officers vii present stronger claim for the men than the Jacksonville detectives.
 1t is understood that these two men are wanted on charges of burglary in Savan- nah, Ga, and Valdosta, Ga.
 We would have gotten the men here Tuesday night before the robbery" said Chief Gerald, If the Jacksonville detec- lives hadn't gotten here so late. Mont gomery officers went to the Windsor Ho- tel to arrest the men, but they had just left. taking their baggage and saying that they would leave on a night train"
 Special Detective Paul Rapport returned from Mobile last night. He went there with Police Captain Taylor. Rapport said there was no doubt that the Montgomery burglars had been captured. He sad Driscoll and Russell positively refused to talk.

 Prior Claim.
 Mobile, Dec. Especial. .)-Capt. W. Fl. Taylor arrived here this morning at an early hour and at once went to the police station for the purpose of Investigating the two men held here for safe-blowing in Jacksonville, Fla.
 After seeing the men and examining the money found in their possession, Cap tain Taylor promptly declared they were the men who blew the safes of the Forbes Company and Hirscher, Bros, in Mont gomery.
 The next thing in order was an effort on the part of Captain Taylor to get pos session of the men. He saw Chief Case and went over the matter with him, but there aDDeared to be a hitch as to who had the prior claim-the Jacksonville, Fla. Chief or the Chief of Police of Mont gomery.
 The two officers from Jacksonville con tended that the arrest of the two men was due to their efforts and that they were entitled to them. Capain Taylor 6 contention was that a crime had been committed in Alabama; that the men were arrested in this State ana that Ala bama mad the priority of claim.
 Up to Il o'clock tonight there was no announcement as to disposition or DTS coll and Russell Captain Taylor has been active all day, but the hitch or the early part of today remains.

A Lengthy Discussion

Led by Alderman Sullivan a lengthy dis cussion was entered into as to whether the ordinance was on its first or 8 cond
 reading. Alderman Sullivan contending that 1t was on it's first reading. The
 Chairman Rnally overruled Alderman Sul- livan's point.
 Again a well directed attack was made by the forces of the Alderman from Ward Six against the passage of the ordinance on the ground that he and severa4 of his colleagues knew nothing of the proposed extension and wanted time for further in- lvestigation.i
 The debate on this contention lasted some time. The forces of Sullivan, Jack son and Strauss were joined by Aldermen Forbes. who said that although he had
 investigated conditions in reference to the opening of the new street and was cOnfi- dent it was a good measure he wanted
 other Aldermen accorded the same privi-
 lege.
 Alderman Maddox said he was reliably informed that Mas sey Wilson had an op- tion on the Power property for only a short time and if the matter was deferred until the next regular meeting. 1t might
 prove fatal to the chances of the exten-
 sion. He urged the immediate passage of the ordinance.
 Alderman Sullivan demurred on the ground that the cost of the grading be- tween Hilliard and Jefferson Streets was
 not set out and that the Committee hould again take charge of the ordinance to remedy this defect.
 Alderman Kohn said 1t would cost only a small amount, about $500. Again the advocates of postponement rallied and said that they dilnt know which to vote with, the members of the cost $7J0 or the memOers who wanted it to cost $500. This was speedily arranged however. by an inf Jrmal committee m eet-
 ing, at which $500 was at once agl eed on.

Savannah sports Don't Believe He

The Savannah sports are getting
leary of the continued promises of AL
McMurray, match maker of the Sa-
vannah Athletic Club to take up the
arranging end of boxing events. and
there is a belief that Nc will not come
back.
McMurray left Savannah in Novem-
Der to look after Feltz and Zeigler
who had matches in Baltimore and
Boston, respectively, and ever since
then he has been coming back, but
without a naturalization. In the mean
time the club is without a match max
er.
Recently McMurray sent on the
names of men he has secured to box
here, and named next Wednesday as
the date for Lenny and Fairburn to
meet at the lightweight limit, but
since then nothing has been heard
from him or the fighters. 1t may be
that the men will turn up in time for
the fight, but this will not be salts
factory as the club will then not have
enough time to advertise the bout.
President Mcbride of the club has
written McMurray asking him for a
definite reply whether he is coming
back or not. and, if not Immediately,
the club will secure another match
maker.

TAKING FISH AND OYSTERS
EMPLOYS MANY MEN

An industry in which Savannah is
greatly interested though of the de-
tails of which comparatively little is
known except to those specially en-
gagged in carrying it on is the supply
ing of fresh fish and oysters to the To-
cal market, an industry that is car
ried on in all the waters for very many
miles along the coast and especially
in the vicinity of Isle of Hope, Thun-
derbolt and Montgomery.
Something of the extent of it may be
realized from the statement of gen.
tleman who is thoroughly familiar
with the coast and who says that dur
ing the fish and oyster seasons, it is
almost an impossibility to hire any
of the male members of the colored
population for any kind of work, be-
cause they spend practically the whole
of their time fishing.
The industry has been developed con-
siderably since the establishment of
easy and quick communication be-
tween Savannah and the coast settle
ments by means of the Savannah
Electric Company's parcel cars. The
morning car brings to market every
morning, with the exception of Mon
day, nearly a thousand fish, and of
oysters about 200 gallons. The record
for oysters was made Christmas eve
when SIS gallons were brought in.
oysters are not SO plentiful in the
immediate vicinity of the coast settle
ments as they were in former years,
and so often the fishermen have to go
for them as far as Buzzard's Island.
They are brought in the small boats
to some one of the settlements and
there prepared for the market. The
attraction that this sort of work has
for the colored people may be readily
understood when it is known that they
can make as much as SIS a day selling
oysters when the demand is good, as
it usually is, and the supply fairly
plentiful
1t is stated by hunters who visit
Skidaway Island that many farms on
