ice is not eligible 70 connection with
ms military establishment in any
way. When the name IS sent 70 the
ad5utant generals Office, the name

After the regimenral meeting. a.
which Col. G. 4. Gordon expressed
his views on the duties and response
bilities Of the enlisted men, = meeting
of the Og-sthorpes was held in their
company room attended by about thi--
y mem be-s. Second Lieutenant Rob

The meeting was In session about
thirty minutes. and when it adjourned

ness transacted was the election Of
Capt; Hitch as an honorary member.
Another meeting Of the company
viii be held next Tuesday night at
which time all matters connected with
the future course Of the company viii
be determined upon.
The company is waiting for the re-
turn Of Capt. Hitch. and for an eX-
preston from him. before deciding just
what 20 do. ALI along Capt. Hitch
has refrained from saying anything
until ne was formally discharged from
the service, and when he returns he
will find the official order relieving him
from duty. 1t is expected that he will
al once issue a statement which he
could not do as long as he was still
even nominally in the service OF the
state.

II is expected that he will also give
the members of the company his
views on whether or not they shall re-

expression Of opinion Will govern the
action of a large part of the member
ship Of the Oglethorpes 1t is said that

From expressions given last night at
the company meeting, II was evident
that a large majority favored disband-

Lieut.. Cox.
But even IL the company should dis
band, there are dozen or more mem
bers who would form the nucleus for
a new Oglethorpe Light Infantry,
even If they could not stem the senti-

TO APPOINT COMMITTEE
TO MOVE CAR TRACKS.
Alderman GraysOn Has Resolution
About whitaker Street.

Alderman GraysOn Has Resolution
About Whitaker street.
Alderman W. L. Grayson will, at
the meeting Of Council tonight. in
troduce a resolution calling for the
appointment Of a committee of three
to confer with the officials Of the Sa-
vannah Electric Company in regard
TO the removal Of the street car tracks
from Whitaker street, south of
Broughton.
That the city officials intended to
extend the vitrified brick pavement
further south on Whitaker street, and
that they wanted to get the electric
company to take up its tracks was
announced in the Morning News sew
eral weeks ago. The paving will. of
course, not be taken up until next
year and the city officials therefore
have no desire to have the tracks re-
moved until the beginning of the
year. The idea is to get to work
now and get the street railway man.
agement TO agree to take up the
tracks, so that there will be no delay
when the time for paving the street
arrives.
Whether the company agrees to
take up its tracks, or not, the pave
ment will be extended from Oglethorpe
avenue further south by Forsyth
Park and the Park Extension. If the
tracks are not taken up the street
car company will have to pay for the
pavement between its tracks and Tor
two feet on either side.
AS the street is very narrow this
will amount to much more than one
third the total cost. If the company
does take up it's tracks. it will, of
course, not have to pay anything to-
wards the pavement. The city off,
Gals are at a loss to know how the
erroneous impression was spread that
the company would be asked to pay
one-third the cost and take up its
tracks also.
Some of the officials OF the electric
company have stated that they would
not oppose the removal of the tracks,
provided the city guaranteed the
company that no other company would
ever be given a franchise to operate
on the street. The present Council
can not bind tbs successors, but it is
not thought that any Council would
ever allow any company to take the
street again, provided the present
tracks could be gotten rid of. City
officials say the railway people need
have no fear on that score.

Detectives Now HIVE Little Hope OF
Finding the $3.50.
Though detectives are still at work
on the case, no trace has been found
Of the satchel and money that were
stolen from w. H. White of Sylvania,
Ga, Monday afternoon in the store of
the Savannah Liquor Company.
Mr.. White has now furnished the

the satchel and it's contents. The ex-
act amount of money in the satchel
was $780, Besides the money there
were a number of articles in the
satchel, all of which have been de-
scribed to the police.
Mr. White has offered a reward of
$780, If the money can be recovered.
The officers working on the case have
little hope of getting the money back,
or of apprehending the guilty party
They figure that the thief who was
smart enough to get the money will
be smart enough to get away.

DEFENDANT DEMURED TO
W0MARS DAMAGE SUIT.
Also Answers Petition of Man Who
Was in the Cab.


Was in the Cab.
Through his attorneys, Messrs. Os-
borne & Lawrence, Mr.. Charles Seller
yesterday filed demurrer to the petit
ton Of Dorothy Parsons for damages
alleged to have been received in a
collision between a cab in which the
plaintiff was riding and an automobile
driven by Mr.. Seller. Mr.. Seller also
answers the petition of James f.
Quinn, the man who was riding with
the woman at the time the accident
occurred.
The case grew out of an accident
some months ago, in which cab in
which Dorothy Parsons and James r.
Quinn were riding after dark, was
struck by an automobile driven by Mr..
Seller. The allegations were that the
accident was due to the carelessness
Of the defendant.
In his demurrer to the womans suit
the defendant demurs to the use of ir-
relevant use of language as to the
striking Of the cab and the results,
demurs because the amount of the
physicians bill is not set forth, be-
cause she sets up no facts which au-
thorizes the recovery of punative dam
ages, and because she sets forth no
cause of action.
In his answer to the petition of
James F. Quinn all the allegations are
denied

In this manner, only with a little
more emphasis, one Of a party Of four
OF the West Broad street saloon keep
ers who were docketed for having their
places open after hours, spoke to d
city official yesterday
The four saloon keepers were among
the eleven who were placed on the Po-

day, but it appeared to arouse no fear.
and little interest.
Not Worried by Threat.
According TO the city official to whom
the threat was made, the plan pro-
posed is for the West Broad street sa-
loon keepers to go to an individual,
who they claim will be willing to or
ganize the saloon men of the city and
put out opposition.
"Of course the threat was merely a
threat, and there may nothing fur
Their be heard from it," said an Off
cial. But even in the event the eff
fort is made to organize the saloon
men, 1t is doubtful if they would all
join"

One Man Kept Police Busy Tor au1te
while During Afternoon.
First having an ambulance sent for
him at Jones and Whitaker street, later
arrested al the Union Station. where
il was found he had been shot. still
later az police station refusing TO al
low the physicians summoned by the
police 10 attend him. and finally jump

afternoon and early last night.
Mccarthy is shot through the calf Of
the leg and the wound is not regarded
as serious. Where or by whom he was
shot is not known, and he himself
complicated rather than explained mat
ters, when questioned by the officers.
While at the Union Station he said
he had been shot by cabman in
Wade's bar on West Broad street.
At the police station he told another
officer the shooting took place near the
Cathedral. So far the police have been
unable to find out anything about it.
When the ambulance was first sent
for him, telephone message had been
received at headquarters stating that
a man had been badly beaten on Whit
aker street. The driver decided it
was simply case OF drunk ana ne
was not taken. When next heard of,
Mccarthy was at the Union Station.
He was arrested by Union Station Pa
trolman Harley for disorderly conduct
there, and IL was then learned that he
was shot.
As soon as he reached the police sta
ton physicians were summoned, but
he declined to allow them to examine
his wound. He remained in his cell
and refused to come out, at the same
time asking for his family physician.
Finally he was pulled out and the
wound examined. 1t was seen that it
was not serious. He refused to allow
the physicians to dress it and it was
then decided to send him home. He
was placed in the ambulance for this
purpose, but a few minutes later the
driver returned to report that he had
jumped out and escaped.
