VAGRANT DAY IN
THE CITY COURT.

Yesterday was a busy day in the
City Court. and large criminal docket.
on which vagrancy cases predominant
ed, was disposed of.
The effectiveness of the Calvin va
grancy law was demonstrated by the
large array of negroes, mostly women
who came up. They Were arrested for
lettering around resorts of a low char
acter and on the streets, and although
they all wanted to "sho the jedge they
hans" that they worked for a living,
none of them were able to produce suf-
ficient evidence on this score. Those
fined were: Bertha Byrnes, Alice Lew
is, Lizzie Russell, Annie Nichols and
Lottie Wilson. All were fined $50, and
being unable to pay their fines were
sent to the Changing for twelve
months.
Judge Norwood also ordered the fol-
lowing fines for other offenses: John
Erickson, larceny, $40 or nine months;
James Russell, larceny from the per-
son, $50 or twelve months; Arthur VIII
liams assault and battery, $50 or
twelve months; Joseph Brown, larceny.
$40 or twelve months: Fannie Cum
mings, larceny, $50 or three months; Jo-
seph Curry, larceny, $50 or twelve
months. None of the defendants We're
able to pay their fines, and all will
serve out the changing sentences.

SPIKE" FOLEY LANDED
FOR LIGHT FINE.
Pleaded Guilty and Escaped Severe
Punishmenf i'm City Cnnrt

Pleaded Guilty and Escaped Severe
Punishment in City Court.
BY admitting that they were guilty of
theft Spike" Foley. we'll known in
police circles, and John Howard, both
white. escaped in the City Court yes
terday with fines of only $50 each on
two charges.
The prosecution was prepared to show
and prove many disagreeable things
and the men. through, their attorney,
pleaded guilty. They had attempted to
steal hat from the Hub Clothing Com
pany. and did take pair of shoes from
T. M. Consodine. Foley declared,
however, that he would never have
done such a thing If he had been sober.
Since the arrest of the two men by
Detective Julius Stark. who saw them
for several blocks before making the
arrest, there has been considerable talk
in connection with the case, and both
the prosecution and the defense were
active. The police charged that Foley
was a crook of the first water, and de-
clared that no matter what penalty
was inflicted he would have to leave
town. They were ready to show that
he floated into the city with circus,
and had accumulated considerable
money during his stay of two or three
years in Savannah. Under the circum-
stances the fines were looked upon as
very light by the police authorities.

TARIFF ASS0C!A-
TONS EXCUSES.

Lack of UnaccIimated Inspectors
One Reason for Delay in Re-rnting.
Another letter from the Southeastern
Tariff Association was received yester-
day by Secretary Donlan of the Cham
Der of Commerce and the second letter
was if anything, even more unsatisfac-
tory than the one which was received
some days ago.
The letter from Secretary Fleming
yesterday acknowledges the receipt of
the last letter of the Chamber of Com
Tnerce, and then states that though it
is impossible to send a representative
of the Tariff Association here at pres
ent, that one will be sent as soon as
circumstances permit. The letter reit-
crates the statement that all the in
spectors of the association are now at
their work in other cities of the coun-
try and suggests that Savannah will
not ask that the regular order be brok-
en- and the work now going on in other
cities be postponed until Savannah
shall be granted her request"
The writer then states that he has
heard the report of Inspector Lawton
on the conditions here, and asks that
it be remembered that he promised to
send an inspector here to re-rate the
city as soon as possible. He then states
again that at present il is impossible
to say just when an inspector can be
sent here. but that the Tariff Associa-
ton will act on Savannah's case when
present work is completed
new reason was also given for not
sending an inspector here, namely that
at this season of the year it is hard for
a stranger to acclimate himself, and
that the health of the inspector might
be greatly injured if one were sent
here just at present. This last reason
created considerable amusement among
all to whom it was shown and strength
ems the opinion held in some quarters
that the Tariff AssoCiat ton is simply
working 'hold-up" on Savannah.
Secretary Donlan stated that il
seemed that all that could be
done was to wait until the association
was ready to act. but that the Cham
Der of Commerce would do all in its
power to hasten this action and would
keep the matter constantly before the
association.

New orleans Third in Line.

Usually New Orleans leads in re-
ceip4s in the early part of the season,
as the crops in the Mississippi valley
mature much more rapidly and the
staple is sent direct to New Orleans.
This remarkable showing for Savan-
nah is accounted for by the fact that
the crops along the Mississippi val
ley have been materially retarded by
the floods which inundated that sec
ton during the spring.
All crops in Texas are also reported
to be late, and Galveston's receipts are
way off Despite all this, however,
none of the remarkable features of
Savannah's receipts are lessened, and
as has been predicted, this fall will
see such activity along the water front
as has never been seen before.
For the last three days the staple has
been pouring in in an uninterrupted
stream, and to-day's receipts are ex-
pected to send the total beyond the
5000 mark.
Next Weeks Big Receipts.
Reports from all the districts tribu
tary to Savannah indicate that during

vesting. together with plentiful labor,
has enabled the farmers to market
their cotton as fast as it opened in the
fields.
In Georgia Dawson leads all towns In
warehouse receipts, over 5000 bales
having been marketed there since the
opening of the season Of new cotton,
Hearing of the large receipts there,
mills from all over the country have
rushed buyers to that prosperous little
town, and have bought every bale that
they could get, paying 12n cents per
pound for it.
More remarkable are the large re-
ceipts here when it is taken into con-
sideration that much of the early cot
ton that has been bought has been
shipped by rail- to factories in Geor-
gia and the Carolinas.
The local congresses have not start
ed working yet, but early Monday
morning they will signalize. the real
opening of the fall season-one of
prosperity for the Georgia farmer.

seemed glad enough to get away and
left the neighborhood Immediately.
Later in the day the police learned
that the men sold the goods for from
10 cents to so cents a yard all over the
city. The uniformed men were given
instructions to arrest the men for
cheating and swindling in the event,
that they are found making any more
sales and Supt. Garfunkel puts the
public on notice that the men are
swindlers.
Because of the fact that the men
speak broken English and claim not TO
understand, and too. because there
have been no compliments, they were
not kept under arrest. In the mean
time people who have bought from them
and think they have bolts of genuine
Irish linen stored away. will learn to
their sorrow that they have paid over
a hundred per cent. more for the stuff
than if they had purchased it from
some reputable merchant.

NEGRO ALMOST WHITE
AFTER SIX YEARS.
Jack Rankin VIII Soon Have Only
Negroes kimky Hair.

After six years of gradual chang
ing Jack Rankin, living in Perry lane,
between Jefferson and Montgomery
streets, is almost white as far as his
skin is concerned. But his hair is still
kinky and he has the lips of a negro.
Slowly Rankin has been turning
white, and now there is not a dark
spot on his body. His face is partly
white and partly black. but at the
rate at which he has been turning
white there will not be a black spot
on him in another year. So far as his
skin is concerned he will be a white
man.
There have been quite a number Of
such cases, but Rankin is being watch
ed with a great deal of interest. At
first glance he looks like a white man
who had been badly scalded or who
had been blown uD by gunpowder. The
change in the color of his skin began
when he was attending school in this
city at the age of IS Since then he
has steadily grown whittier until there
are but few black spots on him.
The negro is now p years of age and
says that he has never been i'll a day
in his life. During the summer he
hunts rice birds, and is well known to
many of the restaurant men. For sew
eral years he has supplied a Tender
Foin restaurant with rice birds. Rankin
is sensitive about his condition and
usually will not talk about himself.
His mother and father. he says, were
both black.

MACHINES CATCH
MANY PENNIES.

700 Taken from One weighing Ma
chine Yesterday.
A travelling man registered at one of
the hotels said last night that on
trip through the city he had seen one
of the weighing machines opened and
the agent had taken out a little more
than 81 in pennies. That amount had
been collected in about q weeks time,
showing that on the average about 100
people a day went to see how much
they weigh. 2s
The machines pay for themselves in
two months time at the longest The
machine which plays a tune and then
throws down piece of chewing gum
or candy is also a great money maker
the constant gathering of the pennies
soon counting up dollars. x!
There seems to be an almost ire
sistible attraction about the machines
and people can not resist the tempta-
ton to be weighed. Any one can be
weighed at grocery store for moth
ing. but that penny-in- the-slot idea is
what seems to catch.
