On cross examination Miss Hayden said
there had been no agreement between her
and Cohen that she should be immune
from prosecution if she paid him money,
nor any conversation along such lines.
''When you say Cohen came to your
house; in the summer, what was the OBJ
ject Of his visit?'
''He came to see me about a diamond

would take it along with him.

Witness could not remember that she
expected any prosecution if she did not
pay money to Cohen. She did not know

if she paid. GI
On redirect examination, witness said
she thought the fines paid by public houses
were paid just as any business house
would pay a license for the benefit of the
city.
''Would you have paid money to Cohen
! if you didn't expect to get some benefit,
such as protection, in return?'' asked Mr..
Boardman. ''Look at me; don't look at

The annual prize drill of the Lawton
Cadets was held at Bohan's pavilion,
Tybee, yesterday. The Cadets. with
many of their friends went to Tybee

and Waters drilled the men and the
first prize was won by Second Sergeant
william T. Mccartney, and the second
prize by Second Corporal A. Hussey.
The prizes were presented by Capt.
Henry Blum.
The drill was very interesting. and
showed the Cadets to be in splendid
condition. The competition was very
close. and IT was only by marking the
smallest errors that the line could be
thinned down and a decision finally
reached. The Cadets now have forty
eight men on the roll. and have recruit
ed several new members recently. The
drill was witnessed by a number OF
officers from Fort screven and from

ELECTRICAL VALlSE
AMUSED PULASKPS GUESTS

The guests of the Pulaski House
We're treated to an hour or more of
real enjoyment yesterday, the cause
of all the merriment being an electrical
valise belonging to one of the guests,
which had been purposely left in the
lobby. The handle of the valse was
metallic, and so connected with a bat
terry within that it was continuously
charged with a goodly number of volts
of electricity.
The fun was first started by num-
Der of Western Union "strickers," the
boys out of employment finding the
diversion much more entertaining than
holding up the corners and nursing
their remorse. For more than an hour
they were busy catching suckers It
was clever device, and not one of
those who were baited failed to bite.
No sooner had the victim picked up the
Valise than he dropped it and began
to wiring his hand. Then followed a
writhing of the fingers-a sort of
stretching to see if they were all in
working order.
Messenger boys, hackmen, draynnen
porters, loafers-in fact every one
within radius of a block or two who
was not averse to making a quarter,
or so-became the butt of the Joke and
received the equestrian litter more
vulgarly yclept "horse laugh from the
crowd which had gathered in
the lobby of the hotel.
The owner and patentee of the unique
travelling bag, Mr.. E. C. Luster, trav-
cling representative of the Fidelity
Casualty Company of New York. left
in the afternoon for Mobile To the
Union Station he was followed by the
eager ex-messengers, and there the
game was renewed with equal success.
Mr.. Luster claims many advantages
for his patent over the common valise.
Outside of the fact that it prevents it
being stolen, its chief charm lies in
it's usefulness in keeping ones seat for
him on the train When it's owner de-
sires to vacate his seat temporarily and
repair to the smoker for a quiet Whit
he may do so without fear of having
his seat, rudely taken in his absence
by merely taking the precaution of
placing the valise in the seat he leaves

TO BUILD NEW LINE
IN SIX WEEKS.

Work on West End Extension of
savannah Electric Company Begun.
Work was begun yesterday on the
new West End line of the Savannah
Electric Company, and Manager Kid
der expects to have the extension COM
pleted within six weeks.
The companys track force finished
its work in the morning at the County
Farm. where it has been building line
from the Isle of Hope tracks to the
proposed garbage dump, and was trans
ferred al once TO the West End line
The work has been started at the
tracks of the Central of Georgia Rail
way Company and when completed the
line will be two miles.
The road begins on the Augusta road
and will run north to BacOn's mills,
by the old waterworks road and
Schwarz avenue. At the mills it will
take a westerly course down Factory
road to the old water works, stopping
at Stiles avenue
The road will be an advantage to
those who work at the factories on Fac
tory road, and who now go to their
work on bicycles and on foot. Among
the big enterprises which face the river
and abut Factory road in the rear are
the Bacon mills, the Southern Cotton
Oil Company works, Pierpont Manu-
featuring Company, Virginia-Carollna
Chemical Company and the Militia
ven mills. There is a great amount of
travel along it, and the manufacturing
people are especially DESTROYS of having
the work pushed.

NURSERYMEN INVITED
TO SAVANNAH.
Chamber of Commerce Sent Invita-

Chamber of Commerce Sent Invita-
ton to President Berckmans.
The Chamber of Commerce has also
been making an effort to bring the
convention of the American Associa-
tion of Nurseryrnen to Savannah next
year. To this end a telegram extend
ing an invitation to this organization
was sent Mr.. r. c. Berckmans of the
Fruitland Nurseries, Augusta, but his
reply makes the possibility of Savan-
nah getting the convention seem lit
tie dubious.
He states: II am in receipt of your
wire extending invitation to the Amer
lean Association of Nurserymen to hold
their convention in Savannah in 1904
Allow me to express my appreciation
and say it will afford me a great deal
of pleasure to present your invitation
to the convention to be held in Detroit
June 8.
Il do not think it advisable for the
various cities in our state to extend
an invitation, but that it would be
well to let them all unite and extend
an invitation through the Greater
Georgia Association to hold a conven-
ton in our state in 1904. st. Louis is
making an effort to secure the meet
ing next year, and 1 am advised that
similar efforts are being made by sew
eral other cities in the East and the
West.
Il would like very much to have the
convention come to Georgia, and 1
think it would be of material benefit
TO our state were we to secure such
a representative body of men devoted
to horticultural pursuits. My idea
would be to have the various railroads,
and the cities in the state, say Savan-
nah, Macon, Augusta and Atlanta, to
combine and send a joint invitation
through the Greater Georgia Associa-
ton for the convention to come to this
state in 1904, and have the above as
ISOLATION send a representative to ex-
tend this invitation to the convention
in Detroit. This, am sure, would re-
suit in securing the convention for
this state
AS Savannah is not a part of the
Greater Georgia Association it is hard
to say just what further action will
be taken in the matter.
