ALDERMEN TO BE PAID
FOR REGULAR MEETINGS.

The bill as now before the State Leg
islature to provide for the payment
of $40 for each regular meeting
to the aldermen of the city of Savan-
nah has been somewhat changed since
it was suggested by Mayor Myers, but
in entire accord with his views. The
difference lies in the fact that at first
ii was made imperative that the coun-
Gilman should be present at the regular
meetings in order to receive the pay.
The new bill will provide that the city
of Savannah may pay her aldermen
the sum of $40 for each regular meet
ing of the City Council, and it is not
specified that an alderman must be
present in order to participate in the
compensation named.
Mayor Myers, in speaking of this
change, said that it was only right and
fair TO have the pay so arranged, as
the aldermen of the city are almost
constantly working for the good of the
place and spend a great many hours of
their time in committee meetings and
otherwise engaged in advancing the
city's interest. The requirement of the
aldermen to be present at meetings
was not necessary nor fair. The pay Is
for regular meetings only and will
amount to about $3.50 per year.

Mayor Myers Heartily Favors state
Exhibit at st. Louis.
Mayor Myers was asked his opinion
yesterday regarding the proposed APP
preparation for a state exhibit at the
Worlds Fair in St. Louis, and unre-
servedly expressed himself as favoring
the plan. That the state should pro-
vide for an exhibit of resources and
industries he said was certainly evil
dent to all who had given the matter
thought and desired advance and con-
tinued prosperity. Ii was not to be sX-
pected that the cities could go into the
matter of making big appropriations,
and Savannah, for instance, could not
now afford to take a very large share
manufacturing interests here would no
doubt be ready and anxious to enter
into the scheme of making a very at
tractive and interesting exhibit for the
great state of Georgia
Savannah has many industries that
will presumably be exploited at the
worlds fair in any event, but il would
be immensely to their advantage and to
the credit of the state as well, if these
things can be shown in the collective
exhibit under the title and patronage
of the Empire State of the South.
Col. j. H. E.still. president of the
Chamber of Commerce, wired Secre-
tary Cooper of the Greater Georgia
movement yesterday his hearty appro-
va of an appropriation for a display
by the state at ST. Louis.

rate programmes, consisting of sixty

Many of these pieces are to be pro-

who will have a corps of assistants
with him. Savannahians and visitors
will be enthusiastic over this opportun-

South will be as much elated over his
famous display as are those of other
seacoast resorts.
The bringing of this show to Savan-
nah will be through the enterprise of
the Savannah merchants, who are rails
ing a fund for that purpose. Sufficient
money has already been subscribed to
make the occasion an assured fact,
even though all the merchants have
not yet been seen. Others will be called
on in the next day or two and are ex-
pected to assist. as all who have al
ready been approached are very en-
thusiastic over so great a drawing card
By the courtesy of those who will
subscribe, every eXcursiOnist in the
city will be invited to see this exhi-
bition free, and il will only be neces-
sary for them to show the return por-
ton of their railroad ticket to gain
admission to the Fair Grounds, where
the display will be held. Free band
concerts win also be arranged for the
visitors during their stay in the city,
and everything will be done to make
their visit one of enjoyment.
1t is expected that not less than g.
900 viii come in on the railroads on
that date, and that at least two
thirds of them will take advantage of
this cordial and exceptional invitation
of the merchants to witness an exhibl-
ton rarely seen in the South. Especial
ly large crowds are TO come from AL

will be sent by the merchants to Sa-
vannah's neighbors to come to the city
for good old Savannah time.

The Committee Unanimous
The meeting of the committee was
entirely harmonious. Most of the work
on the plans had already been inspect
ed by the members of the committee.
but none had seen the picture, and
many were the complimentary re-
marks heard as the committeeman ex-
amined this carefully and closely. All
finally expressed their entire approval
of the building and upon examining
the ground plans, for the four floors,
above the level of the street and two
below, found that the city officials
had been comfortably provided for,
and that there were several fine rooms
on the fourth floor that had not yet
been assigned The Council Chamber
has been placed in a most pleasant
part of the building and Will be I'm
ished and furnished in splendid style.
The Mayors suite is also very well
arranged and much more room is pro-
vided and better arranged than in the
present building.
The picture as shown on Bull street
and at the meeting gave only four
stories, but there will be, besides these,
two floors below the level of Bull
street, reaching down to the river bank.
Dimensions and Exterior.
The front view of the new City Hall
shows an imposing and beautiful struc-
ture, four stories being above the level
of Bay and Bull streets. and two floors
being below the streets, fronting on the
Savannah river. The rear view would
show six stories, and this is the real
state of affairs, for the place must be
built upon the site of the present build
ing. and the south side of the City EX-
change is constructed upon walls that
go down almost to the waters edge.
The new building is to have extreme
dimensions of 80 feet front. 50 feet
depth and the hight, from the level of
Bay street to the top of the dome will
be 100 feet.
As indicated in the beginning of this
article the style of architecture is of
the Italian Renaissance, with perhaps
a little more than suggestion of the
French type introduced. The first floor,
above the street is to be of either Geor-
gia granite or Georgia marble and the
remaining three floors will be in re-
pressed gray or cream brick, trimmed
with terra Gotta. The dome. which
will rise some seventy feet above the
main roof of the building, will be COW
cred with copper. The front will show
a portico, with Georgia marble coll
umns thirty feet high, surmounted by
balcony. Entrance viii be through
three wide arched ways in the center,
from Bay street. and win be after a
rise of five marble steps.
The floors are to be of mosaic pat
tern and the ceiling of plaster over
terra Gotta. Hard wood either quar-
tered oak or mahogany will be used in

DOVES WILL BE PLENTIFUL.

SpOrtsmen Are Anticipating Great
Times Shooting the T1mid Bird.
Reports from the country conveys
the gratifying information to sports
men that the dove crop this year will
be bountiful in all sections. This is
due to the fact that during the early
season the small birds escaped much
of the heavy spring rains that is us
ually a menace to their young lives.
Though several attempts have been
made in the way of legislation to stop
the wholesale slaughter of doves by
batting fields, nothing has been ac-
complished vet and the work of exter-
minating the bird goes on from year
to year. As many as 5000 birds were
killed in one baited field in Lee county
last season, and at this rate it will
not be many season before there will
be no doves.

Liquor sellers without Licenses
VIII Also Have to Look out.
The bills before the Legislature au-
thorizing Savannah and all other cities
in the state with 10000 inhabitants and
upward to punish through police courts
for the ofenses OF selling liquor with
out a license" and selling liquor on
Sunday" were reported favOrably yes
terday by the House Committee.
City Attorney William Garrard re-
ceived a telegram from Representative
J. F. Cam last night announcing that
the bills had been so reported.
In an opinion to Mayor Myers in
November, 1902. the city attorney
showed that the Police Court could not
by law punish for selling liquor with
out a license" nor for selling liquor
on Sunday He at once drew up two
bills to authorize and empower cities
of 20, 900 inhabitants and upwards to
punish for these eOffenses in Police
Court. The City Council approved the
bills and they were sent to Represen-
tative Cam and were introduced. The
committee reported unfavoraby in De-
cember, a short time before the Legis-
lature adjourned and too late to make
any further move. The bills were
made general because at the time the
opinion was given to the Mayor il was
too late to secure the passage of a To-
cal bill. Neither Augusta, Atlanta,
Macon or Columbus have the right I'M
der their charters to punish for the Of
lenses named. At the present session
of the Legislature the adverse report
at the last season was reconSidered
and a favorable report was made.

BRINSON INVESTIGATION
CAME TO ABRUPT END
Witness Wilson Asked for Time to Consult Law
yer Before Answering Question

from one local office of the company to
the other was not always recorded.
The examination of Mr.. Wilson was
most interesting.
From whom did you purchase
your cigars, Mr. Wilson," asked the
commissioner after querying the wit
ness on some preliminary matters.
The witness named several places
where he was accustomed to buy the
cigars which he smoked.
Does that exhaust the list?" asked
the commissioner.
No; 1 presume 1 purchased some
from other parties. l sometimes got
them at the club. l did not take any
particular notice in that respect"
Did you ever buy any cigars from
Mrs. Brinson, the wife of this defend
ant?'
Here counsel interposed an objection,
but the commissioner ruled it out of or
der; and asked the question again
II have answered all of your ques-
lions freely and unreservedly, Mr.. Com
missioner" responded the witness, but
! prefer TO secure the advice of my
counsel, Mr.. Adams, before making any
reply.
Mr.. Adams was sent for and after a
brief consultation with his client, an
nounced that in justice TO him he was
OUnSEu TO ASK TOT d continuance IN Or
der that he might famiharize himself
with the case. On this account, and
because of the absence of Mr.. Julian
Solomon, who 1t is presumed is in Phil
adelphia, and who is a material witness
for the government, a continuance was
granted.
United States Attorney Leaken APP
peared for the government and pro-
pounded the questions to witnesses at
the suggestion of special agent McAtee,
who sat by his side. There was quite
an array of counsel. Col. Rufus E. Les
ter was an interested spectator, though
he took no part in the investigation.
Many well known gentlemen will be
brought into the case before it is finally
terminated. Its progress is being Gag
erly watched by the public, many of
whom have for some time since been
familiar with the circumstances.
