MUST HURRY CANVASS
FOR SAVANNAH'S FUND.
Good Work Done Yesterday for
Greater Georgia Movement.

Good Work Done Yesterday for
Greater Georgia Movement.
Some excellent work for the Greater
Georgia Movement was done yester-
day by Secretary w. ]. Donlan, OF the
Chamber of Commerce, and Mr.. John
H. Gould, representative of Harper's
Weekly. They visited five prominent
men, four of whom have given their
promise to subscribe to the fund. From
their standing and former records for
liberality, where the good of the city
is concerned, it is felt that these sub
scriptions will be quite liberal, in fact
one of the gentlemen assured his call
ers that he would do as we'll in this re-
gard as anyone in the city does.
1t had been hoped that Maj. ]. F.
Cam would be enabled to assist In this
effort to secure subscriptions, but ne,
because of a late arrival and pressing
business engagements, was uoable to
take part in the canvass, though he ex-
poets to take it up to-day, and fiom
now on will push it forward as rapidly
as possible.
Such action is necessary if Savannah
is to be represented in the Greater
Georgia number of Iarpar's Weekly,
LOT the IDdlIeF lot LHdl issue iHOtSI ne
in the printers hands by June l, and,
unless the fund is rMsed by that time
Savannah will have no place in the re-
view at all.
Mr.. Gould himself is most anxious
that this city should be included for,
as he says a review of the movement
would be far from complete with Sa-
vannah, the chief port of the state and
of the South Atlantic coast, left out
He feels that the apathy with which
the movement has so far been received
in Savannah is due in great part to the
fact that the gentlemen who explained
the movement when it was launched
in this city, were too pressed for time
to go as fully into details as they
wished to and as might have been of
interest to their hearers.
He is satisfied that a closer investi-
cation by the citizens of this city will

SKIRTS WITHOUT A FLARE.

The new skirts have no flare. says
an exchange. Their tendency is COM
pletely toward graceful easy fullness.
The lines across the hips are still kept
smooth and accentuating the curves.
This is effected by the yokes of various
forms coming from the belt, below
which the skirt assumes it's easier and
more graceful swing. This is the
mode of Paquin, and is closely fol-
lowed and adopted by all other MAX
ers. The tendency is to keep the upper
part of the garment less full, but to
give an easy, graceful flow toward
the lower portion, which will invari-
ably give roomy grace, softness and
femininity to the gown. Anything of
the serpentine or other tightly clinging
ideas is distinctly absent in the more
novel dresses.

MICKELER ARRESTED BUT
NOT BROUGHT TO SAVANNAH.

H. H. Mickeler, white resident of
Ossabaw Island, and a neighbor Of s.
S. Sasser and J. w. Larisey, was ar
rested yesterday under warrant
sworn out by the last named, charging
him with cow-stealing.
1t so happened that when Sasser and
Larrisey came to Savannah to get a
deputy to arrest Mickeler, Deputies
Fennell and Thompson were on fish
ing trip near Ossabaw Island. Sheriff
Schwarz provided the two men with
hand-cuffs, and directed them to
where the two deputies were engaged
in fishing. 1t was an unexpected In
corruption to the days outing, but the
two deputies took up their nets and
followed" and soon Mickeler was I'M
der arrest.
He was brought to Montgomery, and
a telephone message was sent to the
sheriff, asking him to send some one
for the prisoner. Shortly after 8
o'clock yesterday morning, Deputy
Sheriff Sweeney set out for Sandhy
station, where he had directed the two
deputies to bring their man. The
hours passed and no report came from
the deputies. Numerous inquiries
were made at the sherfHs once re-
garding Mickeler's arrest. Inquiries
at the Jail elected the reply that
Mickeler had not been brought in.
When dark came, deputy was de-
spatched to Sandfiy to find out why 1t
was the man had not been brought to
Savannah, and there was some specu-
lation as to his whereabouts.
1t was learned that Micheler had
given bond. It happened that Deputy
Sheriff Sweeny had some blank docu-
ments in his pocket, and a trip was
made to Mr.. George Schwarz's place,
where the bond was signed, and the
prisoner liberated. Bond was given in
the sum of $500.
It will be remembered that Mickeler
was the witness who, on the trial Of
the Morningstar case, in which Sasser
was the prosecuting witness, declared
on the stand that he would not believe
Sasser on oath.
At that time both Larrisey and Sas-
ser suspected him of having stolen
their cattle, but they had not marshall
ed enough evidence TO warrant the
swearing out of a warrant. They claim
now that they have witness who will
swear he helped Mickeler butcher one
of the stolen cattle. Knowing him to
be a dangerous man, they preferred as
sistance in effecting the arrest. though
Larrisey himself is a deputy sheriff.

Russia Too Far Away" Says Well Informed
Hebrew Citizen.

Kishineff atrocities" he said, but I
hope and believe that there win be a
generous giving for the cause that
have mentioned. The conditions pre-
vailing in the principal coast cities is
not improving, and with the continued
and even greater prosecutions in view,
the tide of immigration will be even
stronger We must do something, and
do 1t soon, to relieve the congestion at
New York, Boston and Philadelphia.
Hon. Simon VOLTS Letter.
From a. letter written for the press
by the Hon. Simon Wolf, whose recent
visit to Savannah is we'll remembered,
the following is taken:
These outrages in Russia will lead
to increased immigration, and what
was only a breeze in the case of Rou-
mania win prove a whirlwind in the
matter of Russia. Our seaboard cities
are congested, our means to help and
succor almost exhausted. and II the
exodus is to continue, either the gates
liberal, for the Jews, as citizens of
the United States, alone cannot bear
the burdens that result from the cruel
ties and inhumanities of Russia Thus
the whole people of our republic may
be called on in time, and the Jewish
problem of Europe become unfortu-
nately a political factor in the United
States.
81 therefore appeal to the govern
ment of the United States to invite the
great powers of Europe to cooperate
on lines of civilization and common
humanity and appeal to the Gar
1.-THE reforms granted by England
to ireland have been won by the Irish
in the United States; the reforms to
be secured from Russia may have to
be won by the Jews in the United
States. am not advocating this
course, but simply deal with conditions
This government has problems of its
own to solve, and ought not to be bur-
dened with this, and the only way to
avoid this political complication OF
the future is to deal energetically with
Russia.
1.-THE Jews of the world ask nothing
but justice and equal rights; those OF
the United States seek, as citizens OF
our common country, to prevent disas-
ter to our institutions, and demand
only that recognition at home and
abroad that is accorded to every other
American"

This was the explanation made by
w. B. Williams. colored, when ar
raigned before Recorder Myrick in Po-
lice Court yesterday morning on
charges of running into an automobile
and being drunk. The defendant
promptly disproved the charge of
drunkenness.
He displayed a swollen foot to show
that 1t was all a mistake and that he
had not run over the automobile. In
reality, the machine had run over him.
williams was able to show that he vas
walking at an ordinary gait and that
he was not running when the collision
occurred. At no time did he have any
idea of trying conclusions with the
ponderous machine, and it was shown
that he was the only person hurt by
the collision. Under the circumstances
Recorder Myrick promptly dismissed
the charges that had been lodged
against the negro.

University Man VIII Represent First
Congressional District at Naval
Academy.
A letter has been received by Prof
T. H. Gingnilliat from Rupert Kellar,
the young South Georgian who left
the University of Georgia a short
time ago to try to enter the United
State Naval Academy, announcing that
he had successfully stood all Of his
examinations, both physical and
mental.
This intelligence will be received
with satisfaction by the many friends
of the young man in Savannah, and
in South Georgia. Kellar was coach
ed for Annapolis by Prof. Gingnilliat,
who believes that the young man will
prove himself a credit to the district
which he represents. He was until a
short while ago d member of the sopho-
more class of the state university,
where he had many friends among the
students.
He will be a representative of the
First District at the Academy, his APP
pointment becoming possible under the
Saw recently enacted by Congress,
providing for two representatives from
each Congressional District. In speak
Ing OF THIS law FTOIs ClHBlllldL Sdlu.
"This was the greatest of all things
that could have been done for the
navy. The navy graduate, who left
the service, has been working for it's
passage in Washington, and all of the
navy people are pleased to have such
a law passed. The Naval Academy is
believed to be the best technical school
in the world, and it is better to in
crease the number of graduates from
such a school than 1t is to build bat
tleships, because it is harder to get
that kind of man and more neces-
sary to have them in time. of war"
Prof. Gingilliat says that the stan
dard of infants is much higher now
than it was several years ago. and that
in passing his examination young Kel-
lar was examined in grade of work
as high as the second years work at
the academy used to be.

IN A BATTLE ROYAL
SIX DOGS FOUGHT,
City Omcers Rushed to Rescue oi
Terriers Owner.

ChtE OAnCCES AtOshCu ~ ANCSSuC Va
Terriers Owner.
1t was only a dog fight, but there
were six dogs. 1t happened In Forsyth
Park, and society and politics were
blended and. of course with all of these
things happening at the same time a
crowd gathered.
Even if 1t had been a murder a
larger crowd could not very well
have gathered in so short space of
time, and If it had been farce comedy
the spectators could not have been
more amused, despite the fact that at
one time there was an appearance Of
tragedy about the whole affair.
1t happened late in the afternoon
near Drayton and Hall streets, at a
time when couples were tripping
homeward for supper. The fox ter
rier that is used to being pampered
and petted started the ball rolling and
in a moment the six dogs were in a
mixup They snarled and yelped and
snapped and bit while the owner OF
the terrier bolted for the bunch.
With dogs lighting on all sides Of
her IL began to look serious. Clerk of
Council j. Robert Creamer, Chief
Plumbing Inspector Frank Campos
Recorder Shelby Myrick and news
paper man were within thirty feet of
the dogs when the fight began. The
three gallant city officers started for
the dogs and Clerk Dreamer and In
spector Campos assisted in restoring
order to some extent. The terrier WAS
grabbed by its owner, but when she
lifted it she carried along another dog
that had death grip.
Clerk Creamer got in some hot work
at this juncture and the terrier was
carried to a nearby bench where 1t
was given a few slaps on the cheek
and Instructed to behave in a more
ladylike manner The other dogs
were making few bluffs and passes,
but nothing serious was happening
with the terrier out OF the way The
disturbing element, however had not
had the fight taken out of him and
made desperate but Intellectual efforts
to get back into the game. He had to
be finally taken home and the battle
royal was brought to a close. The
other dogs would have mixed it up
some more, but the crowd interfered,
and the fun was over.
