Several Were Received at Head
quarters Yesterday Afternoon.
Several fake telephone calls were re-
ceived at police headquarters yester-
day. Some of them asked for the am
bulance and some for the patrol wag-
on.
The officers believe that one party
sent in all the calls. One of the mes
sages asked that the wagon be sent
to the Eagle Manufacturing Company
which is some distance out. This was
the second that had been received and
Sergt. Wood was careful to ask what
the trouble was.
The party using the telephone said
the Waterman at the Eagle Company
had arrested man. who was giving
him good deal of trouble The watch
man could not get to the phone, the
person stated, and asked him to ring
APP the police. The wagon was sent
out and it was found that the watch
man had made no arrest and had ask =
ed no one to phone for him. If the
police find out who it is that has been
annoying them. he will be prosecuted.

With the appointment of Mr.. H.

Masonic Temple that is to be erect
ed by the various Masonic bodies of
this city at the southwestern corner
of Bull and Charlton streets, the plans
for that building will be hurried for

accepted and the contract for the
work let by the latter part of July,
or the first of August. 1t is desired
to have all the preliminaries of the
work settled by that time so that the
actual construction work can be begun

be constructed of marble. or granite,
and some fine pressed brick.
The first floor will be of marble and
the other three of brick. with the
marble or granite trimmings. Though
all the details of the plan have not
yet been determined it is expected
that the first floor of the building will
be devoted to stores. of which there
will be thrae or more. The second
floor will be made into office apart
ments. or else a hall for auditorium
purposes. The third and fourth will
be arranged for the uses of the var
ious Masonic bodies that will have
an interest in the building.
The building will extend the entire
distance OF the lot. which will give
it dimensions of ninety feet on Bull
street by sixty on Charlton. The
cost of the structure, including the
site, will be approximately $4,000.
This amount will be raised by the bod
les interested in the temple. A large
sum has already been subscribed, and
as there are other bodies to become
interested it is probable that this
amount will be materially increased
long before work on the building is
begun.

VISITING PREACHERS
IN SAVANNAH PULPlTS.
Several Were Heard Here Both
Morning and Evening.

Morning and Evening.
In a number of the churches of Sa-
vannah yesterday the pulpits were
filled by visiting clergymen. In other
churches, as at st. Johns the choir
festival and other special services took
the place of the regular night sermon.
At Wesley Monumental Church the
pulpit, was filled, both morning and
night, by Rev. DIR. Belk of Augusta,
who delivered two evangelistic ser
mons. DIR. Belk has been conducting
revival services at Wesley Church dur
ing the last week, and his sermons
were in accordance with those which
have been preached by him during
the services. Large congregations
were in attendance at both services.
At Grace Methodist Church, Rev. E.
F. Morgan, pastor, the night sermon
was preached by Rev. M. j. Cofer.
Rev. Mr. Cofer is an eloquent and
forceful speaker and made a good i'm
preston on those who heard him. The
morning sermon was preached by the
pastor of the church.
At the Lutheran Church of the AS j.
cension, the pulpit, both night and
morning, was filled by Rev. E. c..
Cronk of Atlanta. Rev. Mr.. Cronk
has been the guest of DR.. w. c..
Schaeffer, pastor of the church, for
the last several days. Both sermons
were eloquent and logical. Rev. Mr..
Cronk has been heard in Savannah
before and the announcement that he
would preach drew an unusually large
congregation at the night service.

Before Primary.


Before Primary.
At the meeting of the Citizens Club,
to be held tomorrow night in the hall
Of the Savannah Athletic Club, a full
ticket will be put in nomination, to
be voted for at the primary to be held
on April 20.
1t is not intended to have a lengthy
session, although there will probably
be two or three addresses. Since there
is no opposition to the administration
forces the speeches are not expected
to be very spirited
Elaborate plans are being made for
the mass meeting to be held at the
theater on Tuesday night of next week.
At that time the candidates will be
introduced and there will be a num-
Der of short addresses. Although there
is no contest, the district clubs will
rally as though they were in the thick
of a fight.
With torches and colored lights the
clubs will assemble at the several
headquarters and march to the theater.
1t may be arranged to have the clubs
march to some point and amalgamate
so that for several blocks there would
be a long line of colored lights and
torches.

TELEGRAPH co. FIGHT is
WITH CITY ATTORNEY.
Decision VIII Probably BE An
nOunced To-day or Tomorrow.

nOunced To-day or Tomorrow.
There were no developments yester-
day in the fight between the Western
Union and the Postal Telegraph Com
pany over the wires leading into the
De Soto.
The wires of the Postal are on West
ern Union poles and the Western
Union is attempting to have them
moved The Postal claims it has a
right to place the wires on the poles,
as the city will not allow additional
poles put up in the street.
Col. Garrard, the city attorney, will
probably give Mayor Myers a decision
in the case to-day or tomorrow. I'm
til the Mayor comes to some decision
in the matter, it is not thought that
he Wesern Union will modest the
wires. Manager PEBBLES of the West
ern Union says his company does not
propose to have any fight with the
city. The differences are altogether
between the two rival telegraph COM
panies.
If the city decides that the Postal
wires may stay on the Western Union
poles, the case may go into the courts,
as Manager PEBBLES, when he ordered
the Postal to move them, was acting
under orders from the headquarters of
his company.

TO PENITENTIARY
FEDERAL PRISONERS GO.
Five Moved from County Jail by
United states Officers.


Securely handcuffed and guarded by
Deputy United States Marshal j. B.
Wilson and four assistants, five United
States prisoners were last night taken
to Atlanta.
There they will be turned over to
the warden of the federal prison and
begin serving the sentences imposed
upon them by Judge Emory Speer at
the last session Of the United States
courts here. Marshal Wilson was as
sisted by his son, Mr.. Miller Hayes,
and two negroes.
The time which the prisoners will
serve varies from five years to SEN
fences of a year and a day. The men
themselves were as greatly at Vari-
ance as their sentences and their
crimes. They were Harry Olsen, con-
victed of shanghaiing; w. r. Moore,
the Guyton colored attorney, convicted
of making false jurat; Solomon Lynn,
the country lad convicted of taking
letter containing a valuable check
from the United States mails, altering
the name of the firm to whom it had
been made payable, and attempting to
cash 1t; ]. w. c. Clark. also convicted
of violating postal laws, and Isaiah
Jenkins, alias Charles Jenkins, was
convicted of violating the pension laws,
making affidavit that he had enlisted
in a colored troop at the time that
Sherman entered Savannah.
After the prisoners had left for their
new homes, Col Robert L. Colding,
counsel for Harry Olsen, convicted of
"shanhaiing." stated that he would
take an appeal on the case. Olsen
was allowed to go to the penitentiary
for the reason that if the higher court
should sustain the decision of the low
err that much time would be taken
from his sentence. AS it often takes
considerable time for the Appellate
Court to pass upon a case, the reduc-
ton of sentence, in case a new trial
is not ordered. would be consider
able.

BLEW DOWN GERMANIA
BANKS WEATHER-VANE.
CoIOred Preacher Nearly Felled by
Falling Limb.


Falling Limb.
High winds made yesterday an eX-
coedingly disagreeable one for those
compelled to be on the streets.
Dust was kept flying through the
air and into the eyes Of pedestrians.
Some little damage was done, but
nothing of a really serious nature.
The weather vane above the Ger
mania Bank building was twisted loose
and topplcd over With it the adj
vertising matter which has been used
by a whisky firm during the last three
or four days came down. There was
a choice assortment of debris on the
roof of the building last night, though
all can be easily replaced.
A colored preacher, moving leisurely
down Drayton street nearly met Sc
rious injury. A large limb from the
tree near the Henderson undertaking
parlors suddenly snapped and fell to
the pavement with a crash.
The breaking of the branch attracted
the attention of the cOlored preacher,
who was passing just below 1t, and he
jumped into the street, the falling
branch barely missing him.
The branch was not an old one. but
of the tree is considerably married as
a result of the accident.
Officially the highest wind blew with
velocity of twenty-fOur miles from
the west. That is the record in the
Weather Bureau. People on the streets
made up their own minds about 1t,
however and the general tone of the
remarks We're far from complimentary.
Besides the dust, which was whirled
into the faces and eyes of all, hats
were blown hither and thither, and
time after time dignified pedestrians
returning from church, We're COM
PEELED to indulge in a hasty scramble
to recover flying property.
The wind began blowing early in
the day, and did not abate until near
ly nightfall. With the setting of the
sun, however, the wind fell off and
later during the night died down en-
tirely. No forecast is made for to-day
by Observer Boyer.

Has Received Urgent Requests to
Visit Them.
Congressman Rufus Z. Lester reached
Savannah yesterday from Washington.
It is his purpose to visit several points
in the First District before the pri-
mary.
There is nothing further of import
ance to come before Congress at this
time, and a few conference matters are
all that stand in the way of the imme-
ate adjournment of the House.
Col. Lester was accompanied by Con-
gresham George NJ. Sparkman of Flor
ada Mr.. Sparkman continued to Jack
sonville. Both are members of the
River and Harbor Committee, which
has finished its labors for this session.
Mr.. Sparkman is assisting Col Lester

Col Lester looks we'll and says he is
enjoying splendid health. He is very
well satisfied with his campaign and
the way in which it was run while he
was in Washington. Col. Lester has no
fears of the result of the contest that
IS on for his seat in Congress.
Every report that he has received,
he says, indicates that he will, with
two exceptions, carry every county in
the district by a large majority. Bull
1och and Emanuel counties are ex-
cepted by Col. Lester.
He has received a large number of
requests to visit his constituents in
the district, and urgent requests have
been received by him from Bulloch and
Emanuel
Although the primary will be held
next week, Col Lester expects to be
able to make number of points in
the district before that time. He will
call upon his friends and thank them
for their loyalty and for the good work
they did for him while he was en-
gagged in Congress.
Il certainly have reason to be graft
fed al the loyalty of my friends" said
Col Lester. They have my sincere
thanks for all that they have done for
me. It is gratifying to ME to know
that my efforts in Washington have
not been in vain, and that while l was
attending to my duties there, my
friends in the district were not I'M
mindful of my candidacy for another
term"
