WANTS COURT TO DISMISS
GREENE-GAYN0R BOND.
Attorney Rose VIII Make Motion BE-
fore Judge Speer This Week.

Attorney Rose Will Make Motion Be-
fore Judge Speer This Week.
An effort will be made in the United
States Corut this week by Mr.. Rose
of Chicago, attorney for Gaynor and
Greene. to have the $4,000 bond of
Greene and Gaynor dismissed on the
ground that they were released here
before they went to Canada, and that
therefore, the bond is void and should
be dismissed.
The United States has attached
property belonging to Greene and Gay
nor's bondsman in Syracuse, N. Y,
and II is for this reason that their at
torney seeks to have the court rule
that when Greene and Gaynor were
placed under arrest in Savannah the
bond was no lonSer effective. He will
maintain that when they went to Can
ada after they had been released from
custody the bond was not in force.
1t is claimed that Greene and Gay
nor deposited $4,000 with H. B. Kirk
of Syracuse. who signed their bond.
After they went to Canada the govern
ment levied on Mr.. Kinks property and
he now refuses to turn over the $4,000
to Greene and Gaynor's attorney I'M
til the government releases his prop
erty.
Attorney Rose is in the city and will
probably make a motion before Judge
Speer to-day to have the bond dis
missed. District Attorney Marion Err
win of Macon arrived in the city last
night and will resist the motion. If
Judge Speer makes an adverse decision
the government will then dispose of
the property on which it has levied to
satisfy the bond.

TYBEE SEASON WILL
OPEN MAY IS.

More Visitors ExDt cted This Year
Than in ANY Fo, n,cr Season.
The advent of spring weather and
the increased travel to the resorts as
a consequence, means that in a short
time trips to Tybee will again be
popular and that persons who expect
to spend the summer months on the
island will begin to look out for
| homes.
The outlook is that the island will
be more popular this season,
both with the regular resident and
Each year has seen the addition of
numerous cottages to those that al
ready extend from the Point to the
South End and each summer all of
these are occupied, leaving the de-
mand still unsatisfed. Though no
building has been commenced yet this
year, it is likely that it will be soon as
many plans were made last year look

renting purposes as we'll as for homes
The season is so little advanced that
the plans of the hotel proprietors and
OF the railroad men have not been
completed, but it is expected that more

the scene Of more picnics than all the
other resorts of this vicinity put to-

advertised during the past winter than
1t has ever been before. This, it is
expected will result in attracting large
numbers of people from other parts
OF the state. The railroads are in

KIDDER GOING TO
FAR OFF ALASKA
TO MANAGE GOLD MINE.
WILL LEAVE SAVANNAH ABOUT
APRIL 1.

Has Accepted the Position of Mama
ger with the Gold Hill Mining
Co., Whose Properties Are at
Grand Forks in the Yukon Dis
trict-MUch Engineering Work Is
10 He Done and Manager Kidder
Is Very Much Pleased With the
PrOspect-His New Place viii Be
Much More Lucrative One.
Manager c. B. Kidder, who leaves
the Savannah Electric Company at the
end of this month, has accepted a po-
sition to manage a gold mine in Alas
ka. Immediately upon the severance
of his connection with the company
here, Mr.. Kidder will leave for the
gold fields to begin his new duties.
Since the arrival of Mr.. L. R. Nash,
the new manager for the electric COM
pany. Mr.. Kidder has retired from the
active management of the road. He
is serving in an advisory capacity IN
til the first of the month, so that the
new manager may familiarize himself
with the duties of his Office. The ne
gotiations between Mr.. Kidder and the
mining company have been under way
for some time and he has now posi-
lively made up his mind to accept the
position. His new place as manager
of the mine will be a more lucrative
one thap his position with the street
railroad.
Mr.. Kidder is to take charge of a
mine of the Gold Hill Mining Com
pany at Grand Forks, which is near
Dawson City. The mine is in the
heart of the Yukon district. 1t is
owned and controlled by Illinois and
Indiana capitalists, and it was from
them that the offer to Mr.. Kidder
came.
From letters he has received, Mr..
Kidder understands that there is a
great deal of engineering work to be
done at the mine. The development of
power has become a serious problem
and this Mr.. Kidder will be called up
on to solve. Mr.. Kidder has had plen-
ty of experience in engineering, though
he has never before been connected
with a mine. 1t was his experience as
an engineer that gained the position of
manager for him. He will have the ac-
tive management of the mine in
charge, as well as the engineering
work, however.
II think l shall enjoy the new ex-
perience Immediately said Mr.. Kidder
last night. II want to see that country
The position, too, is one 1 think I
shall like. l will remain in Alaska only
during the summer months. Next
fall l propose to return to the states
for a visit
The trip to the Yukon district could
not well be made before April Mr..
kidder says. When he leaves Savan-
nah, he will go straight to Seattle.
From there he will go as far north as
possible by steamer and the remand
er of the trip will be made over land.
There is now a railroad for a part of
the way, but quite a long distance
has still to be covered on the trails.
Mrs. Kidder will not accompany Mr..
Kidder to Alaska. She will visit
relatives in Michigan until he returns
next fall. When he goes back the
| second time however, it is Mrs. Kid
der's intention to go with him.

BOARD MAY DISCUSS
NEW SCHOOL BUILDING.

Some Mode of Procedure Will Prob
ably Be Determined Upon Tonight.
At the March meeting of the Board
of Education tonight it is probable
that some action will be taken in the
matter OF a new school building to
aeplace the present Barnard Street
School. The County Commissioners at
their last meeting appropriated &c.,
600. and though this is not near the
amount needed, it is probable that
the first steps toward a building will
be taken at once.
In estimating the cost of a new
building the finance committee of the
board allowed $4,000 for the building
and $4,000 for the land on which to
build it. The committee regarded S.
600 as an amount which could be cas-
lily secured for the present building
and site and so asked the commits
sioners for only $25, 900.
The commissioners could not grant
the full amount without considerably
increasing the tax rate. and this they
wished to avoid. After careful con-
sideration, however, they decided that
$4,000 could be granted and the tax
rate remain as at present.
While they could not bind themselves
for more than this year it is regard
ed as almost a certainty that the same
amount will be appropriated next
year, and on the year following enough
will be given to cover the complete
cost of the new building and site.
While this is not absolutely certain
it is regarded as so probable that the
Board of Education, according to sew
eral of its members, feels that it can
take the first steps and may even
borrow money to complete the build
ing as rapidly as possible. The mat
ter will be fully discussed.
Should the building committee and
the finance committee, in whose hands
the entire matter now rests, recon-
mend that the work be begun, a site
will be purchased as quickly as pos
sible, and an effort made to borrow the
necessary moneys to complete the
building. Work would be started soon
after the closing of the present school
year, and continued without interrupt
ton until the building was completed.
1t is hoped that a new building will
be ready for occupancy by the open
ing of the schools in the fall of 1905.
Should the plans now under consid-
GRAFTON carry through, the old school
building, will be occupied as a school
room for only one more year.

ISSUING OF BONDS is
REGARDED AS FEASIBLE.
CommissiOners, However. Have Not
Fully Considered Question.

commissioners, However, Have Not
Fully Considered Question.
That the issuing Of bonds for the
purpose of securing money to build a
bridge over the Great Ogeechee, as
suggested by Mayor Myers, is entirely
feasible, the County Commissioners
admit. They state. however, that the
matter has not yet been given any
deep attention nor have they consid-
cred the question jointly.
The plan suggested by Mayor Myers
was the issuing of a limited number
of bonds for the purpose of building
bridges and necessary school houses. 1t
is not thought that there would be any
trouble to get a bill through the Leg
islature authorizing the issuance Of
bonds. In this way the bridge could
be built and the bonds paid off grad
ually, thereby avoiding the increasing
of taxes and keeping the burden Of the
cost from falling heavily on any ONE.
Il have not given the matter any
considerable attention" said Chair
man Lathrop of the commissioners,
but l see no reason why the plan is
not entirely feasible. There may be OBJ
jectiOns to it which viii show uD Ia
ter, but a present l see none why it
could not be carried out. However,
l have not given the matter sufficient
thought to express an opinion one way
or the other"
Other commissioners who were in
terviewed on the matter took practi-
cally the same ground as did Mr.
Lathrop. All agreed that the plan
seemed feasible and might be a good
solution of the problem. 1t has been
the constant aim of the commissioners
to steadily lower the tax rate, and the
problem before them has been how to
do this and at the same time carry
out necessary Improvements. The mat
ter may be considered at future
meeting of the commissioners.
That the building of the bridge,
which was destroyed during the war,
will be of almost inestimable benefit
all admit. 1t would benefit not only
this city and county, but would also
be of great benefit to Bryan and Lib
erty counties. Under present condi-
tions. however. the commissioners are
unable to build the bridge unless some
such plan as suggested by Mayor My
ers should be adopted.

WILL ARGUE DEMURRERS
IN PE0NAGE CASES.
Important Trials Begin in United
States Court To-day.

Important Trials Begin in United
States Court To-day.
In the United States courts This
morning the argument of the demur-
rers filed in the peonage cases
against William F. Crawley and
Thomas j. Mcclellan, and against c.
B. Mcleod, j. A, Mcleod, and Lester
Williamson, will be heard by Judge
Speer. The United States will be re-
presented by United States Attorney
Alexander Alderman. The McLeods
and Mr. Williamson will me represent
ed by Col. P. w. Meldrim, and the
other defendants by Attorneys w. M.
Toomer, Leon A. Wilson, and H. c.
Mcdonald.
Immediately upon opening of court
Judge Speer will render his decision
in the admiralty case which occupied
almost the entire time of Saturdays
session and following this the peonage
cases will be called. There is every
prospect that the cases will be hard
fought and every effort has been put
forth by both sides.
The demurrers claim that the in
dictment charges the defendants with
no crime, IN CnaL the acts OF Congress,
on which they are predicated, in so
far as they are directed against the
acts enumerated, and in so far as
they seek to give the United States
courts juridictions, are unconstitu-
tional and void They are violative, it is
urged, of Article x of the amendments
to the Constitution which gives the
states and the people thereof the right
to redress individual wrongs. 1t is
further claims that the acts of Con-
gress are directed against States and
territories and not against individuals.
In the special demurrers the point is
raised that the pleadings are in
definite in that is not alleged what
debt the peon was held to work out
for the McRees, nor what privity ex-
listed between the defendants and the
McRees.
The case involves many fine points
of law. A similar demurrer was sus-
tained in Georgia some years ago by
Judge Newman and the case dismiss
sed. On the other hand Judge Jones of
Alabama and a Federal judge in
Florida, overruled the demurrer and
held that the United States courts

DR.. JORDAN'S SER
MON ON DEATH.
Declared Death Was Mans Last
Enemy.

Death, Something That We All
Fear" was the topic of Rev. DIR. John
fist church last night He took his
text from Numbers: 23:10: Let me
die the death of the righteous, and
let my last end be like his!"
He treated death as an enemy and
declared that it is the last that man
has to conquer and urge the people
of God to meet the enemy bravely and
be able to conquer it. Death, he de-
clared, is something that all of us
fear, but he urged that if Christians
lives the right kind of life they may
learn not to fear this great enemy.
DR.. Jordan preached to a large con-
gregration. Seven new additions were
made to the church..
