ONE THOUSAND TAGS
SENT TO EXHIBITORS
Complete Force at Fair Headquarters Kept Busy
DaiIV

Yesterday was one of the busiest at
fair headquarters since the opening of
the Office, and from morning until late
at night, the entire force was kept
rushing off mail to different parties.
More than 1000 entry tags were sent
to those who have applied for space for
exhibit purposes. An almost equal
number will be sent out to-day.
A large number of applications for
space have arrived at the main Office
within the last few days. General
Manager Saussy was at the fair
grounds for the greater part OF the
day blocking off space. All prospec-
tive exhibitors who called at the office
in person were allowed to pick their
space from the diagrams of the build
ings, or If they preferred they were
sent to the grounds and marked out
their locations in the buildings them
selves.
Everything is in readiness for the
exhibits. Mr.. T. J. Davis. chairman
of the Committee on Buildings and
Grounds has worked hard in putting
every department in first-class condi-
ticn. An electric pump has been in
stalled for providing the water sup
ply. All of the horse and cattle stalls
have been thoroughly cleaned and re-
habilitated. The main exhibit buildings
have been placed in first-class condi-

Savannah and the large business firms
have promised the management the

nearly all of which are of different

ITO this action the defendant filed
two demurrers. one general and one
special, and a motion to dismiss.
The general demurrer attacks para
graph 1886 as void on account of con-
fiict with the uniformity clause of the
state constitution, and upon the ground
that it is not necessary for executing
it's inspection laws; upon the further
ground that it undertakes to regulate
commerce with foreign nations and
among the several states; that it is
ment because it denies the defendant
the equal protection of the laws and
Is not due process of law. The special
demurrer attacks the declaration for
it's failure to show that the turpen-
tine was produced in Georgia and that
it had not been inspected elsewhere,
and that the kind of turpentine is not
described. The motion to dismiss is
based upon the contention that the ac-
ton is not one allowed in pursuance
of public justice under particular laws
and ought to have been brought, If
brought at all, in the name of Regis
ter. or the Mayor and Aldermen of the
citv.
ut will be observed that the declara-
! ton i'll this case TOIloWS literally the
paragraph of the Code which creates
the liability and confers the right of &C

and plain, and sets out a state of facts

| is difficult, if not impossible. to UNI
derstand how a declaration, which sets
out the facts in the very language OF

ton. If the act itself defines the facts
which shall create the liability, and
the declaration alleges those facts exist,
it is sufficient.
Even in criminal pleading it is g
/ familiar rule that the indictment is
| good If 1t states the offense in the terms
4 and language of the Code. The con-
/ stitutional question is disposed of by
Z that clause, which confers the right OF

Paragraph 1888 of the Civil Code set

far as the above relates to the solicitor
general.
Whether or not the turpentlne re-

ferred to was produced in the state
of Georgia, and whether or not the
liability to inspection turns on this
fact, and what effect the evidence on
this branch of the case will have upon
the final judgment, are all matters of
defense which the pleader is not bound
to anticipate and which the defendant,
if true will have an opportunity of
setting up at the proper time by plea
or answer. l am of the opinion also
that paragraph 1896 is valid and does
not conflict with any provision of the
constitution of this state or of the
United States. 1t is uniform upon all
the class of subjects upon which 1t
operates. The classification is rational
and not arbitrary and has relation to
the business done and covers all per-
sons who engage in it. None of the
grounds of the demurrers, or the mo-
ton to dismiss, are good.
II have carefully examined the au-
thorities relied upon by counsel for the
defendant, and ! am of the opinion
that they are not conclusive of this
case for the reason that they do not
cover it
The court then reviews the authori-
ties cited by counsel for defendants,
taking each of the forty odd up sep
arately and setting forth in full where
in they are inapplicable.
From tactical standpoint it was
perhaps considered by the defendants
counsel wise to file these demurrers
and have judgment upon them" con-
tinues the court in his opinion. HE
certainly would not be subject here
after to the objection that he had
waived any defenses. However, the
failure to demur would not have con-
fessed the action either in law or
in fact.
ut is therefore considered, ordered
and adjudged that the demurrers, both
general and special, be. and the same
are hereby overruled, and the motion
to dismiss is refused"

JUDGE BARROW DECIDES
ANTWERP NAVAL STORES CASE
Refuses the Company's Motion to Dismiss and
Orders the Case to Proceed

The case of r. P. Register, and
others, against the Antwerp Naval
Stores Company the most important
case of it's kind pending in the courts.
was decided yesterday by Judge Bar
row, when he handed down his decis-
ion on the motion to dismiss the case
in it's preliminary stages. The court
decided that there was no merit in the
demurrers to the bill filed by Inspector
Register, and ordered that the case
proceed to trial before a jury on it's
merits.
Mr. Register for himself and other
naval stores inspectors, brought suit
against the Antwerp Naval Stores
Company to enforce the payment of
$4,70O, penalty for failure to inspect
400 barrels of turpentine. 1t is the
first suit of it's kind, and much in
terest was felt in it's outcome. in the
preliminary stages. The defendant
company, through its attorney, Walter
G. Charlton, declared the proceeding
unconstitutional. and attacked them
for insufficiency. alleging that it was
nowhere shown that the turpentine was
raised in Georgia and that it was not
inspected without the state. 1t was
also contended that the proceedings
were improperly brought. Judge Bar
rows opinion, a most comprehensive
one. follows:
1T is quite possible that the de-
fendant in this case has a complete
defense to this action. 1t may be made
clear at the trial that as a matter of
fact the articles put on board of the
vessel were not subject to inspection,
and that, therefore, the plaintiff is not
entitled to recover. But whether or
not upon trial before q jury the
evidence will show that there action
cannot be maintained is not the ques-
ton here. The question now presented
is purely one of law, and it is the
pleadings of the plaintiff that are on
trial. The demurrer attacks the plain
tiff's declaration, and the only ques-
ton now presented is whether ii is
sufficient in law.
Paragraph 1886 of the first volume
of the Code is in these words: No per-
son shall ship or put on board any
vessel for expectation from this state
any pitch, tar. rosin or turpentine be-
fore the same is inspected and marked

and while this information was being
secured Collins started in on his sec
ond question. Before he had fairly
begun it, however, Greene answered
the first question
mo, sir" he said sternly.
do you deny that you were wait
ing on Habersham street for a wom-
an, who was in a house on that street"
asked Collins.
What is the purpose of this ques-
tion?' asked the Mayor.
Il propose to show, your honor, that
this man has been on intimate terms
with this woman for five or six years
and that he was waiting for her.
Drew His Pistol.
Hardly had the words fallen from
Collins lips when Greene threw him
self back. AS his body swayed from
excitement, his hand went to his hip
pocket, and the weapon was drawn.
For an instant it was steadied by his
left hand, and then the bullet was
fired into the patrolman, who stood
with the sheets of questions in his
hands. 1t all happened in an instant.
A moment before, when Collins put
the first question, Greene had taken
his handkerchief from his hip pocket.
With his left hand he held the hand
kerchief to his eyes while he was draw
ing the weapon and appeared to be in
a hysterical condition.
Witnesses who had been subpoenaed
by Greene and Collins were in Council
chambers, and did not witness the
shooting. Collins, however, had filed
an answer to Greene's charge, in which
affidavits other than his own were at
tached. In his answer Collins denied
all of the charges made against him
by Greene, and showed that a Mrs.

FUNERAL OF DIR. THOMAS HILLS
Aged Dentists Remains Inferred at
Oak Hill Cemetery.

The funeral of DR.. Thomas o. Hills, one
of Washington's Oldest dentists, who died
at the family residence, 1921 New York
avenue, Monday, was held this morning at
1870 O'Clock from his late home, Rev. Wal
lace Radcliffe. pastor of the New York
Avenue Presbyterian Church, officiating
lnterment was made at Oak Hill cemetery
The honorary pallbearers were two of his
contemporaries. Drs. Smythe and McFar-
land. The active pallbearers were Drs
Williams Donnally and Jerome Chase and
Messrs. F. N. Carver. T. w. Hungerford,
E. J. Lewis and Howard Goodrich Only
the immediate friends of the family and
relatives attended the services. Numerous
handsome floral offerings were received
from friends Of the family of the deceased,
among which was a beautiful piece from
the Dental Society of the District of Co.
lumbia, of which DR.. Hills was a charter
member.
Dr. Hills was born In Alexandria seventy
years ago. He came to this city when but
sixteen years of age. In the year 1867 he
began the practice of dentistry in a build
ing which occupied the site of the present

Barnum & Bailey's Circus.

Among the many vast improvements made
in the Barnum and Bailey Greatest Show on
Earth there is decided innovation in the
arrangement of the enormous canvas pavil-
ion which houses the great exhibition
proper. Instead of there being two tents
one small for the menagerie and one larger
one for the arenic Recommendations Is
now one mammoth canvas amphitheater,
&01 feet in length. 1t requires no less than
twelve center poles or twice the number
ever employed before, and they are higher
than any poles ever used before. This great
amphitheater is go feet wide, or about the
same in width as the largest tent used here
tofore has been in length. Two-thirds of
this vast canvas is set apart for the arena,
around which are arranged the seats and
the other third is devoted to menagerie and
museums. There are enormous aSleS
through the menageries and museum end
OF the canvas, upon either side of which
are placed the various exhibits of animate
and inanimate wonders huge stage Is
devoted to the display of the curious phe-
nomena of nature as expressed in strange
human forms Another exhibit so located
that it may be seen by all with great con-
venience, is that of the models Of the United
States naval vessels. Still another will be
the herds of elephants while forming a Dor
der around the sides and ends of the menag-
erie will be the dens containing the wild
beasts.
A still greater innovation, a stupendous
Improvement, is the arrangement by which
1t Is known instantly at the ticket wagon
and box Office when the seats are all occu-
pied. Immediately the sale Is stopped and
no more tickets will be sold under any cir
cumstances No one will be admitted to the
canvas who may not be seated.
