SAM JONES ON
NATIONAL POLITICS.

May Use This Topic When He Lee
lures Here.
Much interest is felt in the coming
engagement of Sam Jones, who will
lecture at the Savannah Theater in
May
Mr.. Jones is giving the best lecture he
has yet delivered, according to reports
of the enga gements he has filled.
The season will be one Of the most
taxing he has yet had, for of all the
lecturers controlled by the Southern
Lyceum Bureau at Louisville, Sam
Jones is probably called for more than
any other in the South.
Mr.. Jones will not come to Savan-
nah to stir up politics. The fact that
he will lecture on May a. and the
nearness of this date to the National
Democratic Convention at st. Louis. is
taken by some to mean that he may
probably have something to say about
national politics. The lecture he is to
deliver in Savannah will be under local
auspices, and those who have the ar
engagements in charge expect a liberal
attendance.

Parker will secure the Democratic
domination.
And the New York man has an ex-

In this sanguine way Congress
man Rufus E. Lester views the pres
Idential situation. Now that he has
fought and won his own fight Col.
Lester can afford 10 take an interest !n

As Col Lester sees it there Will
be no scufne. It will simply be a case
OF Judge Parker having the nomination
rendered him. The Representative Of

regard for Roosevelt, and does not
think he has made himself at all pop

Col. Lester believes there will be
clear sailing for Parker at the st.

It has not yet been settled how the
Georgia delegation will move on St.

A Savannah politician who has just
returned from Atlanta says there is
no way of telling at this time just
what sort of delegation will go the

before that time.
Certainly. in the opinion of the gen.

STRIKING ELECTRICIANS
REFUSE EMPLOYERS OFFER.
Grand Vice President of Their order
Has Returned Home.

The members Of the International
Brotherhood Of Electrical Workers en-
ployed by the Electric Supply Com
pany, who went on a strike few days
ago are still out, and there seems lit
tie possibility Of their reaching an
agreement with the company, as was
shown by the departure from this city
yesterday OF Mr. Hale Smith. grand
vice president Of the union, who came
to Savannah recently in connection
with this matter.
The management Of the company
feels that it could not concede to the
demands Of the strikers and is salts
fed that the terms under which they
had been employed are quite liberal,
as is shown by the fact that no trouble
was experienced in filling their places
with the best Of workmen who are
now carrying on the business of the
company without delay or interruption.
The demands of the strikers, as set
forth by their vice president in a let
ter TO the Electric Supply Company
were that the company should employ
only union men and dismiss from its
service its present non-union men, I'M
less they became members of the local
union, that in case the company
should discharge any union man. and
the union should dispute the sufficien-
cy of reasons for such discharge the
question should be left to arbitration,
the company 10 select one arbitor, the
union another. and these two a third:
the members Of the local union agree
ing TO furnish competent union men
whenever needed by the company, and
when unable to do so the company
having the right TO employ a non union
man for the space of one week or I'M
til union men we're furnished by the
union.
After a conference between Mr..
Smith and the officers of the Supply
Company, a letter was written Mr..
Smith, in which the case was gone
over in detail The company declined
TO force it's present men into the
union, though it states that it has al
ways employed union men so far as
they could be obtained, is willing to
employ union men in the future, and
where non-union men leave its service
for any cause will supplant them with
union men, but it will not force those
not now members of the union to be-
come allies with II.
1t is further suggested that in case
any agreement is reached that it would
be we'll to include also a scale of wages
to be paid, and of working hours. as
well as every other matter about which
differences might arise, and that in the
event an agreement is reached, both
the union and the company each de-
post a reasonable sum of money, to
be forfeited to the other party in the
event OF a violation of this agreement
by either party; should the money
forfeit not be convenient for the union
to deposit ii is suggested that an in
demnity bond be given. the company
also to give one and to pay the pre-
miums on both.
In reply to this proposition Mr.. Smith
replied under date April 81 saying that
the strikers could not accept the propo-
sition, as they believed they had Of
fered all they could to settle the trou-

BONE FORGERY CASE
WAS CONTINUED.
Bride Has Determined TO stand by
Husband to Last.

Husband to Last.
The case against Fred c. Bone, the
admitted forger from Jacksonville, was
continued in Police Court yesterday.
There was no witness to testify
against Bone. and the matter was held
over. He admits the crime and could
be remanded to the Superior Court
without witnesses.
The matter was held up as II had not
been fully decided whether to try the
case here or in Jacksonville. 1t is
probable now, however, that it will be
tried here.
Neither Bone nor his youthful bride
appear to be worried about the trouble
he has gotten into. Mrs. Bone intends
to stand by her husband to the last.
After he is convicted, she will either
go to work in Savannah, or will go to
Indiana to live with her husbands rel
atives. while he is serving his SEN
tenca.
She says she does not want to go
back to Jacksonville, where she is
known. If her husband should be
taken back there. however she Is ready
to go. SO that she may be with him.

HORSE DIED AND NEGRO
WANTED MONEY BACK.
Justice Bevans Decided Plaintiff
Had Some Cause for Action.

Justice Bevans Decided Plaintiff
Had Some Cause for Action.
An interesting civil case was tried in
Justice Bevans' court yesterday in
which a country negro. John T. Brown.
asked that s25 be refunded him that
he had paid TO S. Dich. as a part pay
ment on a horse that died two months
after the deal was made.
The negro got judgment for s12 so
because it was shown to the courts
satisfaction that the horse had been
sold TO the negro for S65, and a pay
ment Of SIS made. with a distinct I'M
derstanding that If the horse was not
what the owner represented, the negro
could return II and get another horse
or his money back. After keeping the
horse a few weeks he brought it to Sa-
vannah and notified Dich that he was
not satisfied and wanted another horse.
The evidence showed that Dich re-
fused to carry out the contract and
insisted that the negro try the horse
for a few weeks longer. The negro
protested, but finally returned to his
home with the horse. which died short
ly afterwards. He then came to Sa-
vannah and notified Dich that the
horse was dead. Dich was then willing
to exchange it, but informed the negro
he must produce the horse.
The negro consulted a lawyer and
instituted suit. Justice Bevans took
the view that since the negro had the
use of the horse for nearly two months,
he did not think he should recover the
full amount. and therefore rendered a
verdict for S12 80. The negro left the
Justices office smiling and declared he
had gone to law and beat de horse
trader out"
Mr.. W. NJ. Hayward appeared for
the plaintiff and Mr.. Gordon Saussy
represented the defendant.

HANLY Is WANTED FOR
R0BBING CASH DRAWER.
Management of Amusement Park AT
Casino Charges Theft.

Management of Amusement Park At
Casino Charges Theft.
For taking money from the cashiers
drawer at the amusement park at
Thunderbolt, Mat Hanly. well known
about town. is wanted by the police.
If not arrested by tonight, P. L.
Woolley, who is interested in the new
attractions at Thunderbolt, says he
will offer reward for him.
1t is not believed Hanly is in Sa-
vannah now. He was seen Thursday
afternoon, the same day he is alleged
TO have taken the money at the Union
Station. 1t is thought he left the city
then. The matter had not then been
reported to the police and nothing was
known of the alleged theft. II is sup
posed he left Savannah then.
Hanly was taking tickets at one Of
the amusement features, when the
cashier and several others left for the
Casino. When the party returned, the
cash in the drawer had
gone. bunch OF keys belong
ing to the cashier was missing and
Hanly's keys were found nearby. In
all about $40 was missing from the
drawer.
Mr. Woolley. one Of the men inter-
ested, says Hanly had heard him tell
the cashier the night before TO take
all the receipts into the city with him.
Usually the days receipts are taken
charge Of by the mana cement at night.
Mr.. Woolley suspects that Hanly
thought the receipts for Wednesday as
we'll as Thursday were in the drawer.
Such was not the case, however. Mr.
WOOlley had told the man m deuoSft
Wednesdays receipts before returning
TO Thunderbolt, though Hanly did not
hear that part Of the conversation, he
says.

REACHED ANOTHER
FINAL AGREEMENT
IN THE SUBWAY MATTER.
CITY AND COAST LINE HELD A CON-
FERENCE AND AGREED.

There Have Been So Many "FinhI"
Agreements That Those Interested
Are Dubious About Outcome of
This One - Director of Public
Works and Attorney W. l.. Clay
Corrected Mistakes-MayOr Thinks
II Is All Settled Now.
Again the Gwtnnett street subway
matter has been settled.
At a conference yesterday morning
between the Director Of Public Works
and Mr.. w. L. Clay. representing the
Atlantic Coast Line. a final agree
ment was again reached.
1t was discovered the Coast Lane had
made a number of mistakes in its spec
idcations. which have been drawn for
some time. The city had prepared the
specifications for the work that It is
to do. and the Coast Line had speci-
fications prepared for its work. 1t
was found that the two sets Of specif-
cations dad not match. and that the
Coast Line had made the mistakes.
Mistakes Were Rectihed.
These mistakes were rectified and
the specifications of the Coast Line
will have to be rewritten.
If they are rewritten in accord with
the latest agreement there will be no
further trouble. II any changes are
made, however II may be necessary tn
have still other conferences in order TO
reach an agreement.
The agreement reached yesterday Is
about the seventh or eighth that was
z1Tr 20 t.a n rr
however. turns Up in every instance,
which delays the matter.
The contract can not be drawn until
the specifications are prepared, as the
specifications must be referred to in
the contract. The drawing of the con-
tract was several weeks ago referred
TO Col. Garrard. the city attorney, and
Mr.. Clay. representative of the Coast
Line. The specifications were then
supposed to have been agreed upon.
Causes of the Delay.
Defects, however, were found, and
the matter was delayed from time TO
time. The city and the Savannah
Electric Company some time ago
agreed to everything necessary, so that
all the trouble since has been between
the Coast Line and the city.
II is said that the latest agreement
on the Coast Line specifications that
are to be rewritten is really final"
However. there have been so many
agreements heretofore that those in
terested will not feel that the matter
is settled until the contract is signed.
Mayor Myers, however. said he
thought the matter was settled and
that the contract would be drawn
soon. Work will be begun as soon
after the signing Of the contract as
possible.

In the Superior Court yesterday
Fudge Seabrook handed down an opin-
Ion sustaining the demurrer filed in
the equity case Of F1leb Wachstein,
against Harry T. Beckett.
This disrnisses the case as now pre-
scented. Judge Cam, owing TO his pre-
Eious connection with the cause as an
attorney, was disqualified from sit
ting.
The case was the outgrowth of the
words more or less" The plaintiff
alleged that he bought tract Of land.
which was said 10 contain 40 feet,
more or less" frontage. but the assur-
Rnce was given him that 1t was ex-
actly 20 feet. In truth the frontage
was only 6s feet and suit was then
brought TO compel the defendant to sell
to the complainant four more feet of
land.
