SAFE BLOWERS
GIVEN TEN YEARS
GUYToN ROBBERS CONVICTED.
FRANK MILLER AND FRANK KLINE
TRIED IN EFFINGHAM.

They Have Both Been Returned to
the Chatham County Jail for Safe
Keeping, Pending n Motion That
Is to De Made for u New Trial-Men
Have Been in Jail Here for Five
Months Alrendy-Were Arrested in
Augusta.
For robbing the safe of the Georgia
Manufacturing and Trading Company
of Guyton, Frank Miller and Frank w.
Kline have each been sentenced to
serve a term of ten years in the
Georgia penitentiary.
The men, who have been in Jail here
for several months, were carried to
Springfield for trial Thursday. Yes
terday morning they were brought
back to Savannah and lodged in the
county Jail for safe keeping.
The crime for which the men were
tried and convicted will be remember
ed here. The safe of the Georgia Man
ufacturing Company was blown open
only a short while after the Foye &
Eckstein robbery. About 800 was stol-
en-. The burglars made their escape,
and Miller and Kline were arrested
some days later in Augusta. The rob-
berry occurred on the night of Dec. 70.
When caught both men made in
eliminating statements, though direct
proof against them could not be OBJ
tanned. The evidence at the trial was
all circumstantial, but was strong.
Miller was the first arrested and has
always been very guarded in his state
nlents. Kline, who was arrested day
or two after Miller, admitted that he
was in Guyton a few days before the
robbery with Miller. Several Guyton
citizens saw the men there before the
robbery. They attracted considerable
attention, as strangers do in small
places.
Attorney Hartridge Smith, who de-
Tended the men, has announced his
intention of applying for a new trial.
Meanwhile the convicted men are be-
ing held in the Chatham county jail.
They have been in Jail here since the
middle of last December. The motion
for a new trial will consume three or
four months more, so that they will
have been in Jail almost a year before
the case is finally settled, and they
start on their sentences, if the present
conviction holds.

POLICE PREPARING
FOR AUTO DRIVERS.
Department VIII Secure a stop
Watch This Week.


Since so many complaints have been
made to the police about the rapidity
with which automobiles move through
the streets of Savannah something is
going to be done looking towards the
enforcement of that ordinance which
is supposed to regulate the speed of
automobiles.
The superintendent Of police has de-
termined to borrow, or purchase, a
stop watch, and in this manner get a
line on the machines that are sup
posed to be violating the ordinance
daily. 1t is probable that watch
will be purchased so that the police
department will be prepared at all
times to make cases.
On some convenient corner, it has
been decided, plain clothes man will
be stationed, and a block away the
man behind the watch will stand
guard. When an auto goes rushing by
there will be a signal and the man
with the watch will push the button.
When the machines cover the block
the watch will be stopped and it will
be known just how long it required
the autoist to cover the distance.
The watch will split the seconds and
it will be figured just how long it
would have taken the driver to cover
a mile. Then the police will have the
goods and will be in a position to make
case. The day upon which the first
test will be made has not been an
nounced and will hardly be made pub
lie. The police will do their talking
after they have made their first case.

HOW TO GET RICH.


This lesson is not for those who OK
pect to make large fortunes by invest
ing in Savannah real estate. That
class may be given further lessons
later The purpose of lesson is to in
terest those noblemen, natures noble
men, who with limited incomes have
bought their lots. built their homes,
and paid their last installment. There
are thousand such men in this city
who are the heroes of this story; quiet,
honest delivers who have done their
duty and are heroes, unknown except
to those of their own household who
have witnessed their self denying he
roism.
A king on the throne is not prouder
than the man of moderate means when
he has paid the last installment for
the house that in the eyes of law is
his castle" He looks back with
pride at the self~denials and little econ
omies which he and his wife have
made in order to pay for that resting
place. The cents saved here, and the
dollars saved there. how hard it was

fishing into nothing But the struggle
is over, and hereafter what comes in
will not have 20 be carefully divided,
so much for the installment, and so
much for the grocer, and so much for
clothing, and so on. The man and
woman rejoice that the grand project
of securing a home has been accom-
plished while they are young and
strong, while the wants of the boys
and girls are those of little children.
Later, probably, some hundreds of 6ol-
lars will have to be provided to send
the boy or girl, or both, to school or
college. or 1t is>not so pleasant to con-
slider this, there may be sickness to

borrowed TO be paid back again when
times are better and expenses less May
be the increase in values of the prop
erty warrants its sale: and enough
money is secured by selling to build
new and better home, on a cheaper
lot, and leave one or two thousand dol
lars profit.
The beginning of all this is buying a
lot. A Thirty-ninth street, east, lot
will do for starter, but is that don't

wait until lots that are now selling on

WANT PROVISION MADE
FOR SCHOOL TAXATION
Further Than Is Given in Proposed
Constitutional Amendment.


Considerable interest is being taken
by Georgia educators in the proposed
amendment to the state constitution,
regarding the imposing of a tax for
school purposes in each county. The
resolutions drawn up by the county
superintendent of schools is being
favorably looked upon by educators,
and those who have studied the ques-
ton carefully.
Under The present constitution any
county may impose a tax for school
purposes by having such a course rec
commended by two successive grand
jdries, and their recommendation rati-
fed by the people of the county at the
voting booths. In order to tify this
recommendation for taxation. two
thirds Of all the voters in the county
must vote that way.
Under the above law it was practi-
cally impossible to impose tax for
school purposes, and steps were taken
to obviate this difficulty. The chief
trouble was that it was well nigh i'm
possible to secure two-thirds of all the
voters in any county to ratify rec
ommendatior of the grand jury for the
imposition of a special tax.
Senator McMichael introduced a bill
in the last General Assembly, seeking
to obviate the difficulty. He proposed
an amendment to the constitution, pro-
viding that the recommendations oil
the grand juries need not be required,
and that two-thirds of those voting be
all that are necessary for ratification,
not two-thirds of all the voters in the
county.
The difficulty with the amendment is
that it does not prescribe the manner
of the election. or any details regard
ing it. For this purpose the bill was
a failure as at least two years must
elapse before the necessary further leg
islation could be carried into effect.
