SCORE OF BULLETS
DIDN'T STOP THIEVES.
Three Men Escaped Under Fire of
Railroad PatroIman.


Surprised while preparing to Jack up
a Central of Georgia Railway car on
the western end of River street, at 8
o'clock yesterday morning, two white
men and a negro retreated under a
fire of bullets that aroused the sleeping
residents of the West Side and caused
them to think that a sham battle was
in progress.
In the neighborhood of a score of
shots were fired by Ocean Steamship
Patrolman Bremen, and the negro
was forced to jump into the river in
order to escape. The patrolman thinks
it not at all improbable that the negro
was wounded. The shooting attracted
half dozen uniformed men doing duty
in the business section of the city,
and careful search was made for the
brass thieves. but without any degree
of success.
In their haste to get away the men
left their jack under the car. Frequent
complaint of the theft of brasseS from
railroad cars has been made at police
headquarters recently and the officers
are doing all in their power to stop the
stealing. The business of brass steal
ing is said to be a profitable one. and
not few are engaged in it. While the
police have but little hope of discover
ing the identity of the men who were
shot at yesterday they hope to finally
run the thieves to cover.

WERE DIGGING FOR GOLD.
Negroes Surprised by Railroad
Waterman and Fled.

Busy with shovels digging near a
tree in the yards of the Seaboard Air
Line, west of the city, three negroes
were surprised by officer Wainwright,
employed by the company, at mid
night last night and put to flight One
of the men was run down by the rail-
road officer and a concealed weapon
was found on his person.
At the police station house he gave
his name as Moses Hymes and claim
ed that withs his companions he was
digging for gold. He was charged
with being suspicious character and
carrying concealed weapons. Hymes
told the police that he was employed
by a family living near Battery Park
and that someone in the neighborhood
had dreamed that fortune had been
buried at certain point in the Sea-
board Air Line yards.
Hymes claims to have been impress
ed by the story and with his two
friends went out to the railroad yards
to dig for the hidden treasure. He
could offer no explanation for running
and would tell nothing about the men
who were with him. The police were
investigating the negro's story at an
early hour this morning and are of the
opinion that there is more in the pris-
oners tale than appears on the face.
he will be arraigned in Police Court
this morning and unless the mystery
is cleared up before then the detec-
tives will be called upon to make an
investigation.

FOR BEATING ANIMALS
THREE ARE PRISONERS.
White Man Is Also Charged with
Attempting to Bribe Oncer.


For cruelty beating animals three
persons were arrested by the police
yesterday. One of the prisoners, a
white man, is also charged with ours
ing on the street, and attempting to
bride the arresting officer.
The man who made an attempt to
buy his release gave his name as Har-
~ Ross at the police station house,
and said that he was from New York.
He probably forgot that he was in Sa-
Vannah. and when he offered money to
Patrolman w. c. Goodman that officer
convinced him that the metropolitan
police and the Savannah police are
birds of a different feather. Ross will
answer all three charges before Re
corder Myrick in Police Court this
morning.
Charlie Green and Tom Smith, ne
groes, are charged by Patrolman Sims
with cruelty beating a mule. Vitrified
brick for street paving was being
hauled when the mules came to a sud
den stop in the heavy sand on the East
Side. The officer charges that one ne
gro dashed the mule with a whip from
the loaded wagon, while the other beat
the animal numerically over the head
The uniformed men have been given
positive instructions to arrest every
person guilty of cruelty to animals and
a war is now being made on this class

which is now being organized by Mr..
c. H. Dorsett.
The work of getting up the company
has been going on quietly for the last
few days So far only subscriptions of
$4,000 have been asked for, and a
number of them have been secured.
Later smaller subscriptions will be
taken. Already plans for the building
have been secured, and, what is of
much greater value in assuring the
success of the project, an offer to
lease the hotel at $4,000 a year, has
been received.

The property on which the hotel will
be built has a frontage on Bull street
of 80 feet and depth of $50 feet on
State street. The building to be erect
ed will be much on the plan of that
now building for the Germania Bank,
at Congress and Bull streets. The
lower floor of the hotel will be ar
ranged for a store. or stores, and Tor
the corner store an offer of $4,000 a
year has already been received.
No name has yet been selected for
either the company that is to build
the hotel or for the hotel itself. These
matters, together with other details,
will be settled later. Mr.. Dorsett con-
servatively expressed himself as most
hopeful for the success of the project"
tions think the project an excellent
one, and that it will prove not only
popular with investors, but profitable
as well
Need for Another Hotel.
Savannah has now but three large
hotels, the De Soto, the Pulaski and
the Screven, and the city's growing
travel from season to season, especial
ly the travel of tourists. has often tax
ed the accommodations of these; there
fore, there is every reason to believe
that new and first-class hosiery
would receive liberal patronage and
would prove a paying investment.
The site is an ideal one. Located on
an attractive square, it is convenient
to both the resident and the business
sections of the city. The building will
be one of the largest, costliest and
handsomest of those either now build
ing, planned, or finished, and will be
an ornament.

USED PUMP GUN
AND BIRD SHOT.
But Negro OiIer at Brewery Tried
Hard to Kill His Man.


Hard to Kill His Man.
With a pump gun loaded with bird
shot, A. Smith, a negro, attempted to
kill B. w. Williams, another negro
known as Preacher" at the Savannah
Brewery on Indian street, late yester-
day afternoon. Superintendent of Po-
lice Garfunkel was in the immediate vi
entity at the time of the shooting and
made Smith a prisoner.
But for the fact that the gun was
loaded with small shot Williams would
have been killed, and Smith will have
to answer a charge of assault with in
tent to murder unless the prosecution
is withdrawn. Although a quantity of
shot was picked out of Williams cloth
ing, and his skin was peppered by the
charge, only two shot wounded him.
One made a painful cut on the hand,
and the other cut the skin on the neck.
Both men are employed at the brew
cry, and the trouble started in the en-
CINE room. Williams washed his hands
in a kerosene oil tank and Smith call
ed him to time for it. Williams be-
came offended and Smith attempted to
put him out, the offer having that right.
Williams, however, refused to be eject
ed from the engine room where Smith
vicious blow in the mouth, cutting the
lip. The wound bled freely, and Smith
became enraged. He claims that Will
liams went for a stick of iron and that
he then ran to his locker for the pump
gun.
When Smith got the gun he went
from the engine room and saw Will
liams washing his hands some distance
away in the yard. With the blood flow
ing from the wound on the mouth and
still angry, he put the weapon to his
shoulder and fired. At the same time
Williams ducked his head into a feed
box and saved his face. The superin-
tendent of police had gone to the brew
cry on business, and heard the shoot
ing. He ran to where William was
standing, and learned who had done
the shooting. Smith had gone back
into the engine room and locked the
gun in his closet. He was made a
prisoner by the police chief and the
weapon was secured. 1t was the first
arrest that the superintendent has
made since he has been in charge of
the department. and he will appear
against Smith in Police Court this
morning.

FIREMEN KEPT BUSY.

in Convent Yard.

&alleu out bN ROOF f1res ana smoke
in Convent Yard.
The firemen were called out several
times yesterday. and while there was
only very slight damage, the prompt
response and good work of the men
and apparatus prevented larger losses.
The first call was about 1920 when
the combination truck from the Hen
ry street station was called to Thirty
first street, where a small house. oc-
cupied by Mary Green. was found
blazing on the roof. The fire was
quickly extinguished.
The Barnard street station got the
next call, about IL o'clock, when the
combination truck went to No 80
West Broad and subdued an incipient
fire in a roof.
Shortly after noon clouds of smoke
attracted attention TO the Convent
yard, back of the Cathedral, and a
hurry call was sent in to the Ogle-
thorpe avenue station. Chemical en-
CINE No. l went out. and the indica-
tions being that serious trouble was
brewing, other apparatus was started.
The men OF the chemical. however. did
not need to turn on the water, for II
