Caught by Detective Murphy, who
Recovered stolen Articles.
For the larceny Of two valuable rings
from Mrs. NJ c. Simmons OF No. $40
Barnard street, Mary Coleman, a negro
girl, Is years OF age, was arrested by
Detective J. ], Murphy yesterday morn
ing. The rings were stolen about three
weeks ago, the girl being employed by
Mrs. Simmons at the time. Both rings
were recovered by the arresting officer.
One of the rings. which has a dia-
nlond in It, is particularly valuable.
The other ring is set with ruby and
a pearl. A pair of slippers were
stolen at the same time, and these also
were recovered.
Efforts were made last night to have
the girl released on bond, but nothing
less than 5000 bond would be ac-
cepted. At a late hour a bond for
that amount had not been arranged.

on the case over two weeks. The girl
will be given a preliminary hearing be-
fore the Recorder tomorrow morning.

PHOTOGRAPHERS MAY
COME HERE NEXT TIME
Convention This Time Had to Go to
Birminghn


The Photographers Convention, which
for a time it was thought was coming
to Savannah next year, will go to
Birmingham. Next year, however, Sa-
vannah will undoubtedly secure the
convention, and it is extremely prob
able that it would have come here
this year had the Savannahians in
sisted on it. Capt. NJ. Ed. Wilson has
returned from Atlanta.
Under the constitution the conven-
ton goes to Alabama, and Birming-
ham wanted it, said Capt. Wilson.
There was a very strong sentiment
for Savannah and had we made a de-
termined effort we could have secured
the convention. For various reasons,
however, we waived the sentiment for
our city, and allowed the convention
to go to Alabama. Next year, how
ever, it will come here without a
doubt.
"One of the chief reasons for not
making a stronger fight for Savannah
this year was that by next year three
or four new states will be admitted
to membership in the association. That
will make the Savannah gathering
larger and more representative, and
will be more beneficial to the city.
1--WE simply wished this year to
make a show of our strength, and we
were even stronger than we imagined.
Everywhere there were the highest
praise for the open-hearted hospitality
of Savannah. and there was a strong
inclination to waive the constitution
and come here this year. We were
content, however, with securing the
convention this year."
Mr.. w. H. Hoffman also returned
yesterday. He brought back with him
two prizes awarded in fashlight and
sweepstakes contests.

RACE QUESTION PLANK
MAY CARRY ILLINOIS.
Muncie Attorney Believes Indiana
Is Republican.

bGhCFGS
Is Republican.
That the race question plank will
carry Illinois for the Democrats is the
opinion of Attorney ]. r. Lang of
Muncie. Ind, who is in the city look
ing after certain interests in connec-
ton with the recently sold dredges
Rough Rider and John Babcock.
His own state he believes will be in
the Republican column, despite the at
tention recently called there to the
race question through the riots. In
speaking of the matter Mr.. Lang said:
Despite the fact that Indiana gained
considerable notoriety last year on ac-
count of race riots, 1 do not believe
the race plank in the platform will be
sufficient to carry the state. The peo-
pie there have almost forgotten the
riots, and the race question, as under
stood in the South, is practically I'M
known.
THE feeling there, too, is purely To-
cal. In my home town there is no
prejudice against the negro. Only eight
miles away, however, there is a town
of Is, 900 inhabitants which has a stand
ing committee to warn negroes to keep
away from the town. If one enters
he is invited to take the next train
out and he generally does without ar
gument.
Should the campaign speakers stir
up the old question in the belt in which
the riot occurred last year consider
able Roadway might be made. How
ever if the Democrats carry the state
I believe it will be due to Republican
over confidence. The Republicans are
so certain in their own minds of car
rying the state that they may not
make any great effort and may thus
lose out.
1.-THE race question in Illinois, how
ever" continued Mr.. Lang, lis differ
ent In Chicago I look for it's effect
to be great. The sections through
which the race riots occurred last year
will also probably go Democratic on
that plank alone. The feeling was high
er there than in our state and it has
not died out so completely.
illinois in the Democratic column
would not be a great surprise to me-
though the fight is bound to be a close
one. 1 have just come from those
sections of the country and I believe

NEGRO ARRESTED MAY
NOT BE ONE WANTED,

Man Charged with Shooting Into
Trolley Car Not One Suspected.
Despite the ia t that Nat Chisholm,
a negro arrested yesterday morning by
an armed posse, has been identified by
Conductor A. B. Conner as the man
who fired into the MilI-Haven street
car some time ago, considerable doubt
is expressed in a number of quarters
as to Chisholm being the man wanted.
William Washington, a half brother
of Chisholm, is the negro supposed all
along to have been the guilty party.
City detectives have been after Wash
ington, but have so far been unable to
locate him. The statement made by
Chisholm comedies with the informa-
ton obtained by the detectives. He
says he knows nothing about the shoot
ing and can prove by two white men
and half a dozen negroes where he was
at the time the shooting occurred.
He claims to have been, where he
says he has been employed He says
he knew nothing of the shooting until
afterwards and that his wife told him
that Washington's wife had told her
that her husband had done the shoot
ing. That was the first he heard of it,
he says. The posse, which arrested

where Chisholm lives. The house was
surrounded and he was taken a pris-
oner. He had a single barrel shotgun
sitting beside his bed, a gun similar
to the one the man who shot into the
car used.
officers working on the case have all
along believed Washington did the
shooting. He has left, while Chisholm
has remained at home. The man
caught may or may not be the right
one. The matter will probably be
cleared UP to-day.

MUST NOT DISCRIMINATE
IN LEVYING OF TAXES.
Continued from Page Twenty.

to tax any occupation or business
within their territorial limits, but when
they undertake 20 tax one class OF
business or occupation the same tax
must be levied on all members of that
class.
I'VE think the plain meaning of this
clause of the constitution is that the
Legislature or municipal authorities
may classify all subjects of taxation
and make the tax uniform ON each
class, or not, as they see proper; they
can tax one class and exempt the 9TH
ers; but when they do tax a particular
class. the rate must be uniform as to
all of that class"
In McGhee versus the State, in end
Ga, p. &C. court holds: when, how
ever, the Legislature does make dis
tinct class, it must treat. each member
of it alike. 1t could not provide that
some lawyers, some physicians or some
LIQUOR dealers must register and pay
taxes in advance and be indictable
for failing to do either and relieve other
lawyers, physicians or liquor dealers
from these provisions.
When it makes a class Of lawyers,
physicians, liquor dealers, dealers in
futures" or any other class, including
one or more occupations, the same
provisions must be made as to each
member or the class.
Must Play no FavOrites.
The late case of Beckett versus the
Mayor and Aldermen of the City of
Savannah, 11S Ga. $3.50. is equally en-
phatic and clear, Such a tax cannot
be imposed upon certain particular
persons engaged in a business, without
taxing others engaged in the same
business"
So, in my opinion, all these acts. ex-
empting ex-Confederate soldiers and
soldiers of the Indian and Mexican
wars from paying business taxes, are
unconstitutional, null and void, and
were so when passed.
They never had any vitality in law,
but they have been yielded to, doubt
less because of the general belief that
no one but the gallant survivors of
these wars would get the benefit of
them.
These laws are now productive of
much fraud.
In many cases parties are carrying
on business in the names of ex-Confed-
crate soldiers, as subterfuges and
shams. and the worthy veterans of the
Civil War, the Indian wars, and the
Mexican War are prominent in de-
nouncing such frauds on the people Of
Georgia, who in their constitution have
put no limit to the amount to be rails
ed by taxation necessary for arti-
hctal limbs and pensions, as aforesaid.
Such exemptions being unconstitu-
tional the City Council has no option,

law, and to obey the constitution, 1t is

WILL APPEAL CASE
OF WONG FANG HOP
Federal Judge viii Pass on Com
miasfoner's Findings.

Federal Judge Will Pass on Com
missioner's Findings.
The case of Wong Fang Hop or
Lon Chang, or whatever his name is,
is to be appealed to the federal judge
presiding over the Jacksonville dis
trict.
Lon Chang is now in Chatham coun.
ty Jail, waiting until the next session
of the federal grand Jury at which
time the authorities hope to indict him
for perjury. The circumstances sur
rounding the case are familiar to
readers of the Morning News.
Long Chang, or Wong Fang Hop,
was taken, at the time of his second
arrest, before the Jacksonville United
States commissioner. Inspector Eager
made out a sufficiently strong case
to convince the commissioner at jack
sonville that Lon was guilty of per-
Jury. Accordingly he was brought to
Savannah and incarcerated.
He was never taken before Commits
sioner Hewlett, the commissioner in
whose court the perjury was commit
ted, if at all. on the ground that the
action of the Jacksonville commission
er was illegal, and that Lon is there
fore illegally held, his attorneys have
made their appeal. The outcome of
the case, which will be heard short
~, will be awaited with interest.
A peculiar circumstance surround
ing the case is the fact that even
should a bondsman appear for Lon,
he cannot be released from custody.
He has been ordered deported by a
Florida federal Judge, and in such
cases bond cannot be given. Perjury,
however, the charge under which the
Chink is held here, is a bondable of
Tense, yet owing to the deportation
order, no bond can be accepted.
