Serious Charges Against british

Serious Charges Against british
Sailor.
Charles Hess, a British sailor, is in
the county jail with two charges
against him, one of which at least is
serious. Hess deserted from the Brit
ish steamship St Andrew and enlisted
in the United States navy Monday.
The officers of the st. Andrew, upon
learning of Hess whereabouts, swore
out a warrant for him in Justice
Naughtin's court, charging him with
desertion. Hess was arrested and is
in care of Jailer Seyden, an additional
warrant has been sworn out for him
by the recruiting officer of the United
States navy, with whom he enlisted
The charge in this case is desertion
from Uncle Sans navy.
Hess is a big, brawny fellow, better
looking than the average sailor, Gull
ture and refinement showing in his
face. He speaks several languages,
and papers found on him when he was
arrested revealed the fact that he had
one time served in the German navy
as a petty officer He finds himself
in a bad mess at the present, how
ever, but appears Indifferent a s to what
action the authorities will take in his
case,

GARBAGE CARS MAY
TAKE SHORTER ROUTE.
If Plan Is Carried Out They viii
Not Go on whitaker Street.

A plan is now being seriously con-
sidered that will make the route taken
by the barbage cars, in going to and
coming from the dump at the county
farm, very much shorter than at pres
ent.
The carrying out of the scheme that
is now on foot will mean that the
cars will not run on Whitaker street
1t was originally intended to have the
cars run south on West Broad street
to Duffy and east to Whitaker, where
a curve was to have been put in. For
some reason this idea was not carried
out, and the cars have been running
from Roberts street into West Broad
then to Liberty and into Whitaker
1t has been shown that it would be
shorter and much better to have the
cars go on the' Montgomery street line
at Roberts and West Broad and follow
this line to Forty second and Mont
gomery streets. This would mean the
building of a track on Firty-second
street from Montgomery to connect
with the Isle of Hope line. The Mont
gomery street line runs south on West
Broad street to Anderson. Work is
now being done on the cars to make
them nearer automatic bumpers.

PLENTY DOING
IN THE MIDWAY.
Fair Grounds Filled Until n Late
Hour Last Night.

The Midway Carnival, which opened
last night at O'Clock was an unquai-
ifed success. Many Of those who had
been on the grounds during the day
remained for the evening fun, and aft
er the hour for free admissions had
arrived each car to the grounds was
packed. There was plenty doing from
that hour until nearly II o'clock, when
the grounds We're closed.
Bostock and his wild animal arena
drew large audiences. The work OF
Capt. Bernita and his lionesses was
loudly applauded and the feats which
Capt. Curley Wilson made his bears
and wolves perform captured the spec
tators. Madame Cecil with her trained
leopards gave another high class eX-
hibition of what can be done with wild
animals when properly trained.
Darkness and Dawn, with its won
derful illusions, and it moving pictures,
showed to large audiences. This show
is one of the best of it's kind that has
ever been produced and nothing but
favorable comments are heard con-
corning it. The Illustrated songs We're
features of the show last night.
Morris Volcano continues to please
and it can be safely said that this is
one of the most Temarka BILE pieces of
realism that has ever been put on any
stage. The spectacle is entertaining
and at the same time instructive and
those who have not yet visited it have
treat in store for them at the
grounds.
The House of Trouble furnished fun
for nearly every one on the Midway.
The puzzle within the House is such
that it mystifies all who enter and to
those above, looking down, the effort
of those below to do the seemingly
simplest things is very ludicrous. This
is the show which is giving a certain
percentage of it's proceeds for the Elk
benefit.
Willis riding school was busy from
the hour of opening until the grounds
closed for the night and the trained
horses were almost constantly circling
the ring. Their riders were of all ages
and sizes and unlimited fun was the
order in the tent. The Black Ma
hatma's palmistry parlors were filled
and all who visited him were apparently
perfectly satisfied. Some of the read
ings given have proven remarkably ac-
curate and correct even in small de-
tails
Bonita, the trained horse, the "Old
Plantation" the freaks, and the cane
racks were all doing a good business
All agreed that it was the best night
of the fair.

REQUEST OF FIREMEN
FOR MORE MONEY
Petition Will Be Presented to City
Council Tonight.

At the session of City Council to-
an increase in their pay will be re-
ceived. 1t will probably be referred
to the Fire Committee
The fire ladies are making a strong
that they will be successful. They feel
certain that the Fire Committee will
approve their application for more
money and think that Council will APP
prove such a recommendation when
the appropriations for next year are
made.
A committee from the firemen called
upon Mayor Myers and asked that he
make an effort to have them get S.
more a month They carried their
petition with them. The Mayor stated
that while he did not desire to commit
himself he would take the petition and
see that it received the consideration
of Council. 1t is this petition that will
be read to-niEht In contains many
signatures and others will be added
during the day.
At present the firemen receive $50
and they say that when they ask for
S65 they are not at all unreasonable.
The men call attention to the hazard
Gus lives they live. and of the long
hours that they have. In all sorts of
weather and at all hours of the day
and night they are called upon to save
property and life, and the men say
that in return for this they should be
paid sos by the city. That others feel
the same way is evidenced by the
large number of signatures attached
to the formal petition of the fire fight

CROOK WHO ROBBED
BOYD HOME ARRESTED.
Private Detective Hewitt Succeeded
in Running Down sidney Reid.

IN Running Down sidney Helu.
Sidney Reid, one of the men who
succeeded in robbng the home of Mrs.
S. T. Boyd Saturday night a week
ago, has been captured and identified,
and will be brought to Savannah to-
night The arrest was made at Ma
con, through the efficient work Of Pri-
vate Detective T. Hewitt.
Shortly after the robbery was pulled
off the case was placed in Mr., Hew-
tits hands From the description given
him of the men, he decided at once
that Reid was one of the crooks who
was wanted. He laid his plans at
once and learning that Reid had NOV
ed toward Macon, telegraphed the chief
of police in that city a description Of
the man and asked that he be ar
rested as soon as he put in an appear
ance
Monday word was received from
Macon that Reid had put in an APP
pearance there, and could be arrested
If wanted Arrangements were made
for sending a young man from this
city, who had seen the two crooks, to
Macon. Early yesterday morning Reid
was arrested. and a few hours later
was identified by the person who had
gone up from here. Detective Hewitt
has been notified of the arrest, and
that the crook will be brought here
tonight.
The telegram gave no information
concerning what was found upon the
man, but it is regarded as hardly like
ly that he has yet disposed of the
jewelry he gathered in the haul. 1t is
probable that all will be recovered.

The weather man" could not have
arranged with the elements for more
appropriate weather during the fair
any circumstances. Yesterday and
Monday night was forecasted; "Un-
settled weather." 1t was fine.
To-day again another twenty-four
hours of fair weather is promised with
fresh northwesterly winds to add to
the delight of the reigning climate.
In some sections of the state as re-
ported by official Forecaster Boyer, it
is considerably colder than in Sa-
vannah, and unusually cold in the up
per section of the Mississippi valley,
and yesterday marked activity in pres
sure changes was noted throughout
the entire country. Decreasing in
strength the eastern high" has set
tied southwark over Tennessee and
Alabama. The Lake Superior storm
center has moved northeastward into
Canada, causing brisk to high wester-
ly winds over the lakes. The north
Pacific storm center has moved east
ward to North Dakota and along the
Carolina coast a disturbance has APP
peared. tF
Rain is reported falling in several
sections of the country, but locally
the weather is in harmony with the
pleasure-seekers and sightseers at the

The crowd rushed in that direction and
a profitable business was done by all
the proprietors.
The time until the opening of the
races was spent by the crowd in in
specting the shows, cane racks, etc,
and in making a tour of the exhibit
buildings. All of the booths We're
thronged and the poultry show was es-
pecially well attended.
AS the time for the races drew near

the grounds. The music gave an add

visitors.
After the races the crowds surged out
of the grand stand and began again
their tour of the grounds. The shows
started up promptly and from that
time until after o'clock merriment
reigned supreme. During the evening

CITY IN DARKNESS
NO WATER IN ELECTRIC LIGHT
COMPANY'S BOILERS
CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE.
EXPLOSION WAS FEARED By
THOSE LIVING NEAR WORKS.

Nine whistles on as Many Boilers
Gave Warning That the water
Was Low and People Residing in
the Vicinity of the Lighting Plant
on Indian Street Were Badly
Frightened-Fires Were Promptly
Banked, However. and There Was
No Real Danger-Lights Were out
for an Hour and a Half.
With the water so low in the nine
boilers at the lighting plant of the
Savannah Electric Company, on In
dian street, that the nine danger
whistles sent out their shrill blasts,
and with the city in darkness, there
was CONSERVATION in the northern end
of Yamacraw last night.
On Indian street, in the immediate
vicinity of the electric light works. the
people were badly frightened and quite
number left their homes. An ex-
plosion was feared and no one cared
to remain so close to the scene of
trouble.
Even the uniformed man on duty in
that precinct became nervous and call
ed up the desk sergeant at police head
quarters to know what to do. No
water could be gotten into the boilers
he said, and it looked as if there was
going to be an explosion.
Yamacraw Residents Frightened.
But there was no real danger. When
the break occurred and the water in
the boilers reached the point. where
the low water alarm sounded, the fires
were promptly banked and there could
have been no explosion. But those
who heard the whistles did not know
this and were none the less frightened.
For an hour and a half Savannah
was in darkness and pedestrians found
difficulty in getting around. Every
street light was out, and drivers, and
bicycle riders, had to move with eX-
treme caution. People walked into
each other and more than one bicycle
| rider was jolted by coming in contact
with some obstruction that it was i'm
possible for him to see.
Many Houses in Darkness.
In dwellings and business houses
where electricity is used the lights
burned in a half hearted fashion, and

ing order and the lights flared UP as
suddenly as they had gone out. The
trolley cars had not been effected by
the mishap at the lighting plant.
The breaking of valve key on one
of the large Condensers was the cause
of all the trouble. Two Condensers are
used in keeping the boilers supplied
with water direct from the river.
When the valve key on one broke the
| other was unable to supply the boilers
with water and this caused the in
| convenience. The fires were all bank
ed promptly and remained so until the
break was fixed. Supt. Keck stated
that at no time was their any cause
for alarm.

U. S. COMMISSIONER

Judge Emory Speer Arrived Ycster-
day and Convened District Court.
Judge Emory Speer of the United
States courts arrived rather unexpect-
eddy yesterday morning. Before leav-
ing he will appoint a United States
commissioner to succeed Mr.. E. c.
Ryals. The appointment of such an
officer is of more than usual interest
at this time because of the number of
applicants for the place who are as
follows w. Neyle Colquitt, Edward S.
Elliott, Fred T. Saussy, Furman B.
Pearce, w. R. Hewlett and G. Noble
Jones.
They are all splendid men," said
Judge Speer in discussing the matter,
and l wish I could appoint them all"
Judge Speer's visit at this time is for
the purpose of drawing the grand and
traverse jurors for the term and to dis
pose of such other matters as may not
require the Offices of a jury.
The courts were convened yes
terday at noon, but United States
District Attorney Leaken ANNOUNCE
ed that he had no motions
to make. Judge Speer will re-
turn and convene court for the reg
ular session Nov. 10. The first cases
to be taken up then will be those of a
minor Importance. 1t is hoped to dis
pose of enough of them to clear the
Jail. The more important cases will
come to trial later, an arrangement
that is more suited to the convenience
of the members of the bar.

WILD WEST TROUP
AND NEW FEATURES.

Kennedy's Wild West put on it's re-
production of the hold-up of an emf
grant train, and the Mountain Meadow
massacre for the first time yesterday.
The feature was carried out in detail
as had been described, and everyone in
the grand stand was more than pleased
with the production. Mr.. Kennedy's
feat of standing on his head while on
horseback drew forth generous ap-
plause. The chariot race was also a
pleasing feature.
In the Indian Village several new
features were put on. The expert
shooting of Miss Bessie Kennedy was
a big feature and drew generous ap-
plause. Holmes and his ropes spinning
feats made another interesting act and
the bucking-mule, ridden by James
Kennedy. was an excellent exhibit
ton of Craftsmanship. The knife i'm
placement act in which the dog is used
was called for and again put on.

BUILDING INSPECTIONS
Little Business VIII BE Transacted

at TO-night's Session.
But little business of interest will
be transacted at the regular session
of City Council tonight, although the
committee that was appointed to look
into the matter of an ordinance Great
ing the office of building inspector may
make some sort of report.
As vet, however, no definite conclu-
sion has been reached. The question,
though, will probably be freely discuss
ed in caucus. 1t seems likely now
that the building inspector will be I'M
der a board of some sort This board
will hear appeals and it's decisions will
be final.
In Nashville such a board is compos-
ed of the Mayor, the chief of police and
the chief fireman. If there should be
a board of this sort in Savannah it will
be composed of the Mayor, the fire
chief, the chairman of the Board of
Tax Assessors, and perhaps the city
engineer.
A petition from Rev. w. A. Nisbet.
pastor of the Westminster Church,
asking for relief from taxation on
property on Bull and Anderson street,
will be read and probably referred to
the Finance Committee.
