later Bennett followed him.
This is the complete story told for
the first time, as viewed by the Bryan
Bennett end of the argument. Beyond
saying that Bryan pulled his gun first,
and was the instigator of the whole
affray, and that both Doss and Evans
shot in self-defense, the other side
has nothing to say Evans has not been
allowed to talk about the matter, as
his condition is one which will not
admit of excitement.
Accused Secure Counsel.
All parties have secured attorneys.
Mr.. David c. Barrow represents the
Bryan side of the question, while Col.
Robert l.. Colding is looking out for
the interests of the other side.
At the hearing yesterday the wit
nesses were asked quite a number of
questions about the gambling feature
of the quarrel between Doss and
Bryan. Besides Bennett and Ivey, the
other witnesses examined We're De-
tective Murphy, Policeman Sims and
several others, who know little more
than hearsay.
The affair still engages the atten-
ton of the citizens of Savannah, and
the action of Judge Barrow in taking
such speedy steps in the matter has
been generally commended.

MANY NEW BUILDINGS IN 1903.
Nearly Three Hundred Permits Is
sued in Last Six Months.

If the pace set by 1903 in the first
six months is kept up, or anything like
it. this will be a banner year in build
ing. Already, in the six months gone
the number of permits issued for new
dwellings, stores and other buildings,
is ahead of the total for the year l9O-'
The year 1901 was a good year for
building, and was considerably larger
in numbers than last year-but at the
present rate, 1903 will far distance
either of the two years. According 10
the books in the city assessors offices
the permits for new building, dwellings,
stores, and the like, and not including
sheds additions, or improvements, Tor
the year 1901 was 466; for 1902 the
number was only 1913. and the SIX
months passed of 1903 shows very
nearly 300
The material and dimensions of the
buildings also show up well for the
year that is now beginning its second
half The details of the permits show
that a great number of the residences
are being constructed in the section
south of Anderson street, and within
n few years that part of the city viii
be built up in almost a solid little city
in itself. In 1901 the permits were for
234 one-story houses, 225 two-story
houses and buildings three stories
or over los were built on the Eastern
Side Of the city. 219 on the West Side,
and 142 in the southern part The
year 1902 had only 293 new buildings.
OF this number 127 were one-story, 100
two-story. and s three or over; SO
were in the southern section, SO on
West Side, and 119 on the East Side.
The six months of 1903 show that 297
permits have been issued and of this
number more than half 053) are for
two-story residences or stores. The
location of the new buildings is very
largely in the section south of Park
avenue, but there are also some good
buildings just finished or going up in
the lower part of the city.
Some of the buildings.
From the records a few examples are
given for the three years, to show that
the new buildings are substantial ana
important additions to the city's real
property.

MAY NOT BUILD
ON BROUGHTON STREET
National Bank Building Postponed.
More Consolidation RumOrs.

National Bank Building Postponed.
More Consolidation RumOrs.
The tenants occupying the property
at the northwest corner of Bull and
Broughton streets have been notified
that they may continue to occupy the
premises for year longer, and this,
of course. means that the new build
ing proposed by the National Bank
of Savannah will not be started for at
least a year.
Mayor Myers, president of the bank,
was asked concerning the report He
said that the notice had been given
the tenants as stated In regard to
the new building Mr.. Myers said that
its construction was postponed for
excellent and satisfactory reasons.
He did not go into details further,
but intimated that the delay did not
mean abandonment of the plans.
The tenants of the property have
nearly all of them acquired leases for
another year, though at an increase of
about 40 per cent in rent The prop
erty has been paying rental of about
$1,000 year and under the new leases
will yield about 1000
There have been various rumoTs as
to the cause of postponement of the
building SCHEME. II is understood that
i the National Bank has an option on the
owens property, at Bull and Bryan
streets, but that there is a difference
of $1,000 in the price 1t is rumored,
too, that the movement for the con-
solidatiOn of the National Bank of
Savannah and the Merchants National
is still on, and may be effected in a
short time. If this is the case the
| merged banks would have a bank
building already in the Merchants Ma
tional, building at st. Julian and
Drayton streets.
The site at Bull and Bryan streets
is an eligible one, and is considered by
many people the best location in the
city for a bank building. 1t is not
unlikely yet that a handsome bank
building may yet be erected there. The
National of Savannah. it is said, has
been offered $4,000 for the property at
| Bull and BrOughtOn streets.

that he is an i'll man and is not likely
to live much longer. "GaynOr," said

in that city. l think he has locomo-
tor ataxia and he does not look as
if he could live year. He goes Stun
bling along in Dufferin Terrace, lean

watching him as he goes along the
Terrace for fear of being kidnapped
again. He does not dare to take a
ride on the street cars for the same
reason He is thoroughly homesick
and wants to come back, but does not
dare to. This talk of compromise with
United States authorities is idle. He
has broken with Capt. Greene and has

There were no indictments returned
as the result of the grand jury's in
vestigation of the Bryan-Doss shoot
ing ARRAY, yesterday afternoon.
The jurors met at 4 O'Clock, and for
three hours and a half investigated
the matter. Because of the fact that
they were unable to hear more than
one version of the affray, the wit
nesses on one side being too ill to come
to the hearing, action was postponed
until next Tuesday afternoon, at
which time indictments will be return
ed.
Bennett and Ivey, both of whom were
present, the former a participant, gave
the particulars of the shooting to the
grand jury. Bryan was not present.
His doctors forbade his coming though
he pleaded with them to put him on a
litter and bring him TO the Court House
in an ambulance. Physicians certifi-
Gates were produced to show that both
Doss and Evans were physically unable
to attend the hearing.

AN INVESTMENT FOR YOUR BOY.
An Equipment Suited to Our Re-
sources.


That the demand for engineering
graduates is constantly increasing is
amply proven by the fact that the
graduates of the Georgia School of
Technology are all at work in inn
portant positions in their chosen pro-
fessions. The recent increase in equip
ment in the experimental and chemical
laboratories, places the school in the
lead of all southern technical schools
in the South.
Five degrees are offered in engineer
ing branches and opportunities for
graduates are offered in every state.
The equipment of the textile school
is most elaborate and the regular four
years course with the special two
years course gives a choice to ac-
cord with a Students time and purse.
The school catalogue gives the oc-
equations of all graduates. and the
list is emphatic evidence that the
