POLICE LOCKED IN
OFFICERS MADE PRISONERS IN
RIG PATROL WAGON.
AID OF A GUNSMITH
HAD TO BE SECURED WHILE THE
REAL CULPRIT WAITED.

Twice in Five Minutes Uniformed
Men Found Themselves Locked in
the Patrol Wngon-On Both Occa-
sions Force Counted for Nothing
and the Lock to the Door Had to
Nc Taken on by Those on the
Outside-NegrO Thief Grinned mt
SnII?' Port officer Who Couldn't
Get Out.
Locked in the big patrol wagon two
members of the police force had
rather hard time of it early yesterday
afternoon and it was several minutes
before they were rescued.
Five minutes later Patrolman Barney
Ungar, the sally port officer, found him
self in the same plight near the City
Market and the wagon had to be driven
to neighboring gunsmith where the
lock was taken off and the uniformed
mau was released. The trouble with
the door to the wagon gave the police
bad quarter of an hour, for there were
three calls almost at the same time.
The wagon had been to the West
Side and had returned to the Gamewell
house with Patrolmen Griffin and Mil
Ter. Patrolman Ungar was on hand
and told the men to hurry out as he
had a call on Price and Taylor streets.
But, willing as they We're, Miller and
Griffin were unable to make the door
bulge. They were securely locked in
and their combined efforts were of no
avail. Ungar worked from the outside
but he couldn't get the door open. The
officers reached the conclusion that
they were not cut out for burglars and
the desk sergeant telephoned the man
on Price and Taylor streets to walk his
prisoners to the station house.
Then a screw driver was secured, and
after considerable hard work. the catch
was taken from the door, and Miller
and Griffin were released. About this
time there was another call from the
City Market where Detective Murphy
had negro thief. The lock was put
back on the door and Ungar left for
the market.
He did not close the door, fearing
that he, too, might find himself a pris-
oner when he reached Detective Muir
ply. But a sudden lurch turned the
trick and the door of the wagon was
shut with a bang When the City Mar
ket was reached Ungar was a prisoner
and Detective Murphy and the others
around the Gemewell box were unable
to release him.
Ungar was in quandry. He could
not have been more a prisoner if the
door had been locked with a key, and
the key had been thrown away He
fretted and fumed on the inside while
those on the pavement did their utmost
to release him. Ungar was secure,
however, and the wagon was taken to
the gunsmith's shop. Once more the
latch was taken off, but this time It
was left with the man to fix All of
which caused quite a stir in police cir
cles for little while.

HEALTH ORDINANCES
WERE INTRODUCED.
Council Providing for the Burial of
Bodies I'm n Hurry.

Council Providing for the Burial of
Bodies I'm Hurry.
Three ordinances looking to bet
terment of the health conditions of the
city or rather intended as safe
guard to the already excellent health
conditions, were read for the first time
at last nights session of City Council.
The first ordinance provides that
whenever a person dies within the
Jurisdictional limits of the city the
body must be buried within thrty-six
hours, unless a specific permit be ask
ed for, and granted by the chairman
of the Board of Sanitary Commission
eTs. 1t is further provided that such
permission can only be given in cases
where the body has been embalmed, or
in some otehr way protected against
decomposition.
1t is made necessary to bury a body
which may be brought into the city
embalmed within twenty-four hours
after it's arrival, unless a written ex-
tension of the permit is granted. In
cases where the remains have not been
protected from decomposition they
must be inferred within twelve hours.
A penalty of 800 or thirty days, either
or both, in the discretion of the court,
is provided.
The two other ordinances refer to the
reporting of contagious or infectious
disease. Citizens are required to re-
port Immediately all cases. Physicians
are required to report Immediately, in
writing, all cases of contagious or in
fictitious disease, and all suspicious
cases. These ordinances will be put on
their second reading and passed at the
next session of Council.

FINISHING UP FAIR PLANS.
Managers Getting Everything in
Readiness for the Opening.

Progress is being made in other
matters connected with the fair and
those having in charge the various de-
partments are leaving nothing undone
to add to the success of the occasion.
Mr.. ]. c. Shaw is now in Columbia
looking out for new shows and con-
cessionaries. Mr.. H. H. Hull is also
there in the interest of the racing fea-
lures, while Mr.. A. B. Moore is m
Macon looking after matters of gen.
eral interest.
1t is expected that the various coun-
ty exhibits will reach Savannah and
be put in shape Tuesday The adj
vance guard of the horses that will
take part in the various rae
ing events has already arrived.
Several of them came yesterday, so
that the number now stabbed at the
grounds is about twenty. So soon as
the Macon Fair closes they will be
shirbed here in large quantities until
by the time the fair is opened it is
confidently expected that between 250
and 300 Will be stabbed on the grounds.
The demand for space for general
exhibits is very good, so good that
Manager Gordon Saussy wishes to tell
the Savannah merchants that those
who wish to make exhibits had better
apply for space at once before it is all
exhausted. Mr.. Saussy would like to
secure additions to the childrens work
department and to the artists depart
ment.

Big AUTO PARADE
PLANNED by FAIR MANAGEMENT
FOR OPENING DAY.
MACHINES TO BE DECORATED.
SILVER CUP OFFERED AS PRIZE
FOR THE HANDSOMEST.

Parade Will Take Place in Morning
So That the Machines May Be En-
tered in the Races on the Track
Immediately Afterward - First
Race to BE Two Miles and Open
for Machines weighing Less Than
I.SOO POunds-SecOnd Race Will BE
Four Miles and Open to Any and
All Machines-First Prize of $15
and n Second of $40 Will BE Of
fered I'm Each Race.
An automobile parade is being ar
ranged for the Racing Associations
Fair and promises to be one of the
most spectacular and attractive of the
many events that will be given in con-
nection with the fair. The machines
will each be decorated and to the one
adjudged the handsomest will be
awarded a silver cup valued at $25.
The parade will take place on the
morning of Nov. 4, and will be COM
pleted in time to allow the vehicles
to reach the fair track and take part
in a series of races to be held later
in the day.
The details of the parade have not
been settled but the matters in con-
nection with it will be rushed forward
as rapidly as possible within the next
few days and all those who contemplate
entering machine should make
known their intention at once to the
manager of the fair. Because of the
fact that Savannah possesses more
automobiles than probably any other
city in the South there should be
large number of entries; the trophy
cup will be sufficiently handsome and
valuable to induce those entering ma
chimes to make the decorations of the
first order
After the parade there will be two
races for automobiles on the fair
ground track. The first of these will
be for two miles and any machine I'M
der 1880 pounds weight will be eligi-
ole for entry. Two prizes will be
given, SIS for the first and $40 for the
second. The second race will be of
four miles and will be open to any
machine. The prizes in this will be
of the same value as those of the first
race.

IDIOT GRUNTED LIKE
HOG WHILE BEING TRIED.
Witnesses Testified That Boys Mind
Had Reen Blank from His Birth.


Had Reen blank from His Birth.
AS result of the lunacy trials held
at the Jail yesterday one of the &C
cused was declared insane and sent to
the state sanitarium, while the other
was acquitted, the jury being convinced
that the accused was in the complete
possession of her mental faculties.
The trials, while not as interesting
as are most of those which the Or
binary holds at the Jail. elected pity.
Particularly was this true in the case
of Alfred Simmons, little colored boy.
who was placed on the stand Deaf
and dumb, and born an imbecile, the
testimony was that no ray Of light had
ever crossed his mind He ate and
slept like an animal and at times emit
ted strange noises characteristic of GER
tain animals. During the hearing he
grunted like a hog.
MOllie Shanks was the other alleged
lunatic. But she was not crazy. 1t
seems that when she was picked up by
the police, who supposed her to be
drunk. she was suffering from an at
tack of mental perturbation. This she
said yesterday was the first she had
ever experienced. She declared she
was again all right and was firm in the
belief that there would not be a recur-
renee. On this showing the jury found
her sane and she was acquitted a few
minutes afterwards.

WOMAN ASSAULTED
WITH TRUNK STRAP.
Lively ARRAY ut Price and Taylor
Streets.

Streets.
A lively affray in which a heavy
trunk strap was used as a weapon,
occurred early yesterday afternoon at
Price and Taylor streets, and result
ed in the arrest of two negro women
who will face Recorder Myrick in
Police Court this morning.
Minnie Cargo, quite well known in
police circles, whipped Belle Towns
in good fashion with the heavy piece
of leather. Minnie declared that Belle
had purposely thrown a quantity of
dirty water on her premises, but Belle
strenuously denied the charge. Be-
cause of the large amount of avoidu-
pois carried by Belle the scrap was
rather one sided one.
AS the heavy strap fell upon the
big shoulders of Belle she screamed
in good fashion and the attention of
quite a crowd was attracted. While
the excitement was going on Mount
ed Patrolman w. H. Smith put in
an appearance and both women were
made prisoners. They were walked
to police headquarters by Patrolman
Laird and charges were entered. Belle
promptly furnished bail for her ap-
pearance in court. The patrol wagon
was temporarily out of service and a
large crowd followed the women tn
the station house
