TOWN TREASURER FORCED
TO GIVE UP HIS BOOKS.
Warsaw Council Took Out Posses
sorry Warrant for Them.

Warsaw Council Took Out Possess
sorry Warrant for Them.
An old fight was resumed yesterday
when a possessory warrant was sworn
out in Justice Bevans court by the
Council of Warsaw, for the books of
the Town Treasurer Mr.. Henry Am
Dos.
Demand had previously been made
on Mr.. Ambos for the books, but he
declined to turn them over, but on con-
sulting his attorney yesterday he de-
cided to give the books up.
1t is claimed by the authorities at
Thunderbolt that when elected to the
office of treasurer, Mr.. Ambos refus-
ed to give a bond, and he was asked
either to withdraw from the office, or
make some provision for protecting the
towns money. Mr.. E. V. Tooner
who was a clerk under Mr.. Ambos, was
selected as treasurer, but as there were
no books he could not conduct the
affairs of the office.
Mr.. Ambos said he did not want to
turn over the books, as they were
records that belonged to no one but
himself. He was perfectly willing for
them to be examined, but he would not
turn them over. He claimed residents
Of Thunderbolt who owed licenses
would claim the town owed them, and
they wanted to settle this way. AS he
had no authority to settle the towns
bills he did not do so. Mr.. Ambos
is represented by Mr.. w. B. Stubs
Mr.. Raiford Falligant represents the
Warsaw township.

His story in. brief was that he had
chased the chaste Louise, a carnival

NO COMMISSIONS YET
FOR SAVANNAH JUDGES.
Governor May Have to Extend Time
for Qualification.

Governor May Have to Extend Time
for Qualification.
AS far as the offices of judge Of the
Superior Court and judge of the City
Court are concerned. there is an I'M
usual state of affairs existing in Sa-
vannah.
Though the law requires that the
successful candidates for these offices
must qualify and receive their COM
missions before Nov. IA, as yet neither
Judge CAMS nor Judge Norwood S
commission has arrived.
Their commissions for the present
term expire on the first of the new
year, and unless recommissioned they
would, under the law. be compelled to
give up the discharge of their duties.
Both have been reelected to the Of
flee, but they must be commissioned,
and this must all be done before Nov.
IA. But four days, including to-day,
remain in which to qualify. and under
the circumstances a telegram has been
sent TO the state officers in Atlanta to
hurry things up.
The fault undoubtedly lies at Allan
ia, and is probably an oversight. The
commissions of all the other state and
county onlcerS arrived some time ago.
and all have qualified. Why the COM
missions of the two judges should
have been omitted is not understood in
Savannah. and that it was an over
sight is the only explanation offered.
In case it is found that the time is
too short in which to qualify under
the law. Gov. Terrell will undoubtedly
be asked to extend the time a power
which he has. Under the circumstances
this power would be promptly exer-
cised, but the situation is causing
some uneasiness for the officials with
out commissions. and much merriment
to those who are now exhibiting their
new commissions over their desks.

DISTRIBUTING DEPOT

Established Here to Do Business of
$4,000 Per Month.
Supplies for the new distributing de-
pot of the Southern Bell Telephone
Company, which was opened the first
of the month in the Central of Geor-
gia yards just back of the wholesale
grocery store of Guckenheimer & Sons,
are being received daily.
Mr.. S. S. Fremont, formerly with
the Atlanta Office, is the storekeeper in
charge. The supplies consist of wire,
bare and insulated, insulators. cross
arms, pins, and in fact every material
necessary for the construction of tel
ephone lines.
From the Savannah Office will be
supplied South Carolina, Florida,
Southeast Georgia and a part of Ala
bama. Heretofore this territory has
been served from the Portsmouth, At
lanta and New York offices.
Most of the materials will be shipped
here from New York by boat. thus
making freight charges much less than
to the Atlanta office. The pins are
made in North Georgia. Savannah is
most conveniently located for such a
depot, being near the New York office
when measured by freight rates. and
near the points of distribution in dis
tance.
instruments and switch boards will
not be carried at the Savannah depot,
as they can be shipped and stored
more conveniently elsewhere.
AS the business is just being started
the stock on hand is not large, but it
is expected that within few months
materials to the value of $4,000 will
pass through the office monthly. The
force will also be largely increased,
and with the growth in business, it is
probable the present quarters will
have to be enlarged or new quarters
sought.
BY the opening of the new depot the
telephone. company will be enabled to
accomplish quite a saving in freight
bills. both to the depot and from the
depot to the territory covered.

Though Desirable, Not Probable
That Great Effort VIII be Made.
The proposition to make Savannah
an active bidder for the State Fair next
year, which has been advanced from
Atlanta, did not raise any excitement
among the business men of the city
yesterday. 1t is improbable that any
strenuous effort will be made to in
duce the fair management to select
this city.
However, 1t is realized by the bust
ness men that the holding of the fair
here next year would be of great bene-
fit to Savannah, and they would like
to see It come.

The complete record of all INDECENT

widows who have been granted pen
sions in Chatham county has been re-
ceived by Judge Henry McAlpin in the

of widows the record of the deceased
husband is given-the causes on which
the pension was granted, etc.
1t states also the amount he receiv-
ed each year, and there are blank
spaces for filing the amounts received
in the years yet to come, thus enab-
ling the record to be kept up-to-date.
There are also spaces for marking iii
the dates on which death of pensioneT
