HENRY q. GREENE TELLS
WHY HE SHOT COLLINS
Replies to Card Published by Attorneys of
Wounded Man

Mr.. Henry G. Greene, upon the ad-
vice of his attorneys, Messrs. Adams &
Adams, made a statement yesterday
of his side of the recent shooting af-
fray in the City Exchange. The state
ment is in answer to a statement made
by Policeman Collins attorneys. 1t is
as follows:
I did not intend to say anything for
the public prints concerning the shoot
ing of Policeman Collins, but his at
tOrneys have gone into the newspaper
with an argument and statement cal
culated to prejudice me. With the ar
gument l have nothing to do at this
time. With the statement of facts
have something to do.
Mr.. divers card states that Police
man Collins, on the contrary. stood
prepared TO show by Mrs. Collins
(meaning the lady who had telephoned
for a policeman that Mr.. Greene had
been lettering about her house for
about four hours, from 10 o'clock until
2, the time of his arrest. He was also
prepared to prove by another RESPONSE
BILE person that Mr.. Greene was in the
neighborhood for hours before the ar
rest"
NILS. 1OlllilS leSllllcQ D6lOIt the INe~
corder, in the presence of a number of
witnesses, that she could not and
would not swear that l was the man
lettering about her premises. SO that
the attorney must be in error when he
says that he could prove this by her.
The fact is thai was at the Firemen's
Hall from a few minutes before 10
o'clock until nearly II o'clock of the
night in question. ] am corroborated
in this by five of the firemen. After
leaving the hall intended to go home,
but, unfortunately met three acquaint-
ances, who wished to go further down
Oglethorpe avenue. attempted to dis
suade them, but finally promised to
wait for them upon their statement
that they would return in a short
while. I sat on the bench in Colonial
Park nearest the barracks for about
forty minutes. l was seen there during
this time and spoken to by Policeman

WILL OCCUPY HOME
AND NURSERY THURSDAY.
Kings Daughters Decide to Move
Into New Home at Once.

Kings Daughters Decide to Move
Into New Home at Once.
A largely attended meeting of the
Julia Mcleod Chapter of Kings
Daughters was held yesterday after
noon in the Sunday-school building OF
the Independent Presbyterian Church.
The principal business before the cir
Gle was the consideration of the time
at which the day nursery and children's
home on Thirty-first and Montgomery
streets should be occupied.
The board of lady managers who
have had charge of the work thus far
reported that the building was prac-
tically ready for occupancy at the
present time. The painting is still go
ing on, but unless unforeseen acci-
dents occur, this will be completed
within a day or two. Within the home
is entirely finished with the excep"
ton of the work of cleaning and pre-
pairing the rooms for occupancy.
After considering the matter from
all sides the circle unanimously voted
to move into the home on THURSDAY
and to formally accept it from the
contractors. A committee has been
appointed 10 cOHlplete tH0 Silleai uS
tails of the work yet remaining to
be done in regard to the programme.
The complete programme will be an
nounced later and the date at which
the dedication programme will be rem
dered.
The majority of the eight rooms in
the commodious and comfortable little
home will be memorial rooms. The com
mittee in charge decided not to an
nounce the names of those after whom
the rooms would be named until near
err the time for the dedicatory exer-
cises.
Several other matters of routine
nature were considered by the circle
before adjournment. The president
stated that they still need a little
money for their work and contribu-
lions from the public are earnestly
desired

Halloween Parties.

The approach of Halloween and the
usual number of parties being dedi-
Gated to its observance this year make
ideas along that line timely.
The attached from Harper's Bazaar is
a suggestion: The room may be light
ed by jack-o'- lanterns only, and
a. delightfully."- ghostly effect will
be thus produced. These big
lanterns should be made of
pumpkins nice big yellow ones
with the inside scoopeu out, and
eyes, nose and mouth cut in one side
The stem end is cut out in circle
about six inches in diameter and is
lifted off and put back when the Ian
tern has been lighted. Candles are
used as general rule, in these lam
terms, but a more ghostly effect may
be produced by using small alcohol
lamps. If the weather permit a fire
OF driftwood on the hearth is a fine
addition to the effect, and after or be-
fore the usual Halloween games a
fagot storytelling contest is a good
plan. Each guest is given a little
bunch of twigs, and while the twigs
burn, the guest must tell ghost story.

To ADVERTISE CITY
WILL BE ONE OF THE CHIEF BEN
EFITs OF TOURISTS RATES.
NO HELP RECEIVED YET
AS TOURISTS WILL NOT START
SOUTH TILL AFTER CHRISTMAS.

Bulk of Advertising savannah VIII

Trunk Lines, Though Southern
system Entering City VIII Also
Do Their share of 1.-THE Adver-
tising Alone a Big Help to City.
Heavy Travel of Tourists Not Elk
pected Until About Jan. is.
Though Savannah has secured tour
lists rates. which became effective Oct.
Is, the city has not yet begun to feel
the good effects of them. and probably
will not until after Christmas, when
tourists begin to move South in large
numbers. 1t is true that the advance
guard of tourists. as those who have
permanent winter homes in the South,
is called, has begun to move, but this
movement means very little to places
other than where these homes are To-
Gated.
After Christmas, however. or to be
more exact, about the middle of Jan
uary, when the fast tourist flyers shall
have beeen inaugurated ana the tour
list stream begins to flow southwark.
Savannah, with its stop-over privi-
leges. it's cheap rates, and the advertis-
ing that it will have had in the mean
time, will begin to get the benefits Of
these advantages for which it has
fought so long.
The matter of advertising that the
city will receive because of this rate
is, in the opinion of those familiar
with the matter, of value hardly yet
realized by Savannahians. The bulk
OF this advertising will be done by
the big trunk roads of the East be-
cause they are the initial lines, and
will consist in the main of a notice
of the city, interesting descriptive mat
ter. which will be included in the win
ter tourists books Of such lines as
the Pennsylvania road, the Baltimore
and Ohio, the Southern and other big
systems having Southern connections.
The same will be true of the big West
ern lines.
This will not be all the advertising
the city will receive, however, for the
Seaboard Air Line will advertise ex-
tensiyely in the tourist centers of the
East. and it is more than probable
that the Atlantic Coast Line and the
Southern will do likewise. The Cen
trail of Georgia Will not have to origi-
nate this policy Of advertising the city
as the officers of that system say that
Savannah is never left out of any

firmed by the Supreme Court of Geor-
gia.
The suit was instituted in the name
of the solicitor general, by Messrs.
George T. and ]. Ferris Cam. Mr..
Register for himself and other naval
stores inspectors, brought suit against
the Antwerp Naval Stores Company
to enforce the payment of $4,000 pen
atty for failure to inspect 400 bar
rels of turpentine The defendants at
'torney, w. G. Charlton. Esq, declared
the proceedings unconstitutional and
insufficient The question of consttu-
tionality, if any, will be the one upon
which the matter will be taken to the
highest court in the land. The deci-
sion of Judge Barrow, in which he up
held the pleadings of the plaintiffs at
torneys, Messrs. G.. T. and J. r. Cam,
has been given in full in the Morning
News.
The general demurrer of the plaintiff
attacked paragraph 1896 of the Code
as in conflict with the uniformity clause
of the state constitution, and upon
the further ground that it undertook
to regulate commerce with foreign ma
tions and among the several states;
and that it was repugnant to the
fourteenth amendment because it de-
MED the defendant the equal protec-
ton of the laws and was not due pro-
cess of law.
1t is upon the last named grounds
that the suit would properly be sub
ject for review by the Supreme Court.
The case has not been assigned for
trial and may not be until the pre-
lfminary matters are finally disposed
of. 1t is an interesting case and one
in which the naval stores men are par
ticularly concerned. The question
raised is a new one. Counsel for both
sides argued the case for more than
two days. In the event it finds it's way
to the Supreme Court of the United
States the case will attract much in
terest.

Brantley. / then walked to the bar
racks, corner of Oglethorpe avenue and
HaberSham street, and seeing the
patrol wagon coming in with a prison
er, walked to the gate on Habersham
street. then concluded to walk across
to Hull street to see if these parties
were returning.
l did not stop anywhere near Mrs.
Collins but crossed back at once to the
western side of Habersham, and had
proceeded to the corner of Oglethorpe
avenue and Lincoln streets, where l
was arrested a few minutes after 1
o'clock. Fortunately, there are at least
nine witnesses who know that l was not
lettering about Mrs. Collins house from
10 o'clock until 2, as stated in this card,
or in her neighborhood.
The use of the lady's name at the
hearing was absolutely uncalled for.
She is a thoroughly respectable lady,
living in another part of the town, with
her married daughter and grandchil-
dren. My acquaintance with her and
her family has been long and honor
able and it had nothing whatever to do
with my arrest. The use of her name
was cruel wrong to her, to say moth
ing of myself. From the time of my ar
rest was labortng under a great stress
of feeling due partly to my bad health
and largely to my treatment.
DNACAC SUNS W Vic ilSdl ing was
warned by friend that the policeman
had made threats against me and was
advised to put a pistol in my pocket
in order to defend myself, knowing
that I would be unable to cope with
him in my present condition. I did not
dream of using it except in the event
that an attack was made upon me, but
when the policeman stated that l had
been criminally intimate with this
lady mentioning her name) for five
years, my indignation became uncon-
trollable, and I fired the pistol I was
charged with being suspicious
character and with abusing the officer
My acquaintance with the lady had
nothing to do with either charge.
There are other statements in Mr..
divers card which are not correct, but
l do not care to say anything more in
the public prints than seems neces-
sary. Henry G.. Greene.
