Automobile Sport

Is certainly one of the most delightful
kinds of amusement in which mankip1
may indulge. 1t is not necessary fc
him to endeavor to attain railroad speet
with his machine, but a moderate rate
is sufficient to please the average indi-
vidual. There are so many different
machines on the market that it is really
difficult for man to tell which he wants.
The Cadillac costs but $3.50, and answers
the requirements of modern life. It is
the best for professional and business
men. 1t gives no trouble whatever,
does not easily get out of order. and is
first class in every respect. The Mar
Del Mobile Company, 1904 Union Trust
Bldg, Baltimore, Md, are the Maryland
and Delaware representatives for this
machine, as we'll as the Searchmont,

BL00MINGDALE SCHOOL
HOUSE UNDER GUARD.

The attempted burning of the Bloom
ingdale school house night before last
was yesterday investigated by Supt.
Otis Ashmore, through his as
sistant, Mr. Frank H. Ferguson, who
went to Bloomingdale for that pur-
pose.
The result of the inquiry shows that
the fire was undoubtedly of incendiary
origin, though who made the attempt
or why it should have been made. Mr..
Ashmore is unable to offer even a
theory. The only suggestion is that
some boy with a fancied grievance
against the school or some teacher
may have sought to get even" by
setting fire to the building. An inves-
tigation along this line, however, failed
to show. such a pupil.
The citizens of the town are most
interested in the matter and two or
three have expressed a willingness to
give a reward for the detection of the
guilty party. Though it is hardly
probable that another attempt will be
made to destroy the building Mr.. Ash
more will take no chances and so has
employed Waterman, who with the
aid of a double-barreled shotgun. will,
in future, guard the school at night.

BOOTH FOR BAPTISTS
COUNCIL GRANTS CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE PETITION.
BUREAU OF INFORMATION
WILL BE ESTABLISHED IN CHIP
PEWA SQUARE.

Mai. j. Ferris Cam Brought the
Matter 10 the Attention of the
Mayor and AIdermen-Dr. John ID.
Jordan Addressed Council on the
Subject as Citizen and Not n
BAPTIST observation-disclosures Had
Intended TO Turn Request Down.
Booth Will Only BE 8 Feet Square.
Drummers Invited to Come to Sa-
Vannnh.
The Chamber of Commerce will have
q bureau of information booth in Chip
pewa Square during the Baptist Con-
vention next week.
At the meeting of City Council last
night permission was given after Maj.
J. Ferris Cam, Rev. DR.. John ID.
Jordan and Secretary w. ]. Donlan of
the Chamber of Commerce had said
things to the Mayor and aldermen. 1t
was the last thing that Council did
before adjourning and the matter was
taken up at the solicitation Of Maj.
Cam.
The members of the Chamber of
Commerce had been made aware OF the
fact that they would have to secure
the consent of Council, as well as the
Park and Tree Commission, before they
could erect such a booth in the square
and that it was likely the aldermen
would turn down any request that
might be made. There was nothing
for Council to act upon, however, ana
the aldermen were on the verge of ad-
journing when Maj. Cam called at
tention to the matter. He presented
a petition that had been prepared
few minutes before by Secretary Dom
Ian and Mr.. oscar Kuhlman.
Maj. Cam made a strong plea and
declared that the literature that
would be given visitors to the
city would advertise Savannah
He said that it was not a
move to get people to join the
Baptist Church. The Chamber of Com
merce had devised the scheme for the
purpose of benefiting the city, and Maj.
Cam did not think the first thing
asked for by body that is pushing
Savannah to the front should be turned
down. Many citizens, he said, are CIV
ing their time as well as money to the
Cham Der of Commerce, and the booth
plan is a scheme that is generally
looked upon as a good one.
Dr.. Jordan said that he spoke as a
citizen and not as a Baptist preacher.
AT this booth you will secure the
names of Baptists you may want to
fleece in the future" said DR.. Jordan.
This is not establishing a precedent.
1t is an experiment. You are a COM
petent body and can deal with mat
ters as they come up" DIR. Jordan
said some other things to the Mayor
and Aldermen and explained that if he
said anything that he should not say
he was sorry for it. Secretary Donlan
explained that the booth will be only
eight feet square.
Mayor Myers stated that his oppo-
sition had been based upon the idea
that the booth would mar the beauty
of the square, but that the assurance
of DIR. Jordan that such would not
be the case made him satisfied. After
the Mayor had expressed his opinion
Council voted for the booth.

WOUNDED MAN TALKS
BUT POLICE DOUBT.
Evans Able to Establish AIibi to
satisfaction of Officers.

satisfaction OF OtncerSs
H. 3. Evans was yesterday released
by the police, and is no longer connect
ed with the murderous assault on Hart
ridge Harm last Thursday night. in
the opinion of the officers. Evans was
able to prove AN alibi.
Mrs. Thornton is still detained at po-
lice headquarters. Evans now believes
that he knows the person who stabbed
Harm, and is of the opinion that the
wounded man will clear up the mys-
terry if he is taken from under certain
influences. 1t is now believed that he
will recover but his attending physi-
clan would permit no one to see him
yesterday. AS soon as he has recov-
cred sufficiently the police hope to have
him moved from the Thornton woman's
house where he was taken Immediately
after the assault.
After Evans had been released by
the police, Harm made written state
ment in which he claimed that the
stabbing had been done by Evans. The
officers, however. refused to take any
stock in this statement and would not
again place Evans in custody. They
insisted that inasmuch as Evans had
esta blished a seemingly positive alibi,
they would require more than the word
of Harm to rearrest him. AS soon as
Evans learned that Harm had made a
statement charging him with the crime.
he started for police headquarters TO
surrender. He met Detective Bostick
on the street, however, and was told
that if he was again wanted he would
be sent for
