TAX DIGESTS CLOSED:
MANY DILINQUENTS.
Few Returns Have Been Made for
Automobiles and Bicycles.

Few Returns Have Been Made for
Automobiles and Bicycles.
The state and county tax digests
closed yesterday.
For several days the supplemental
lists will be open and when these close
returns can no longer be made.
Though there are fewer delinquents
this year, than there were last yet the
list is large, and unless the returns are
made within the next few days. dou-
Bile taxes will be imposed. The double
tax will be kept on and not remov-
ed. as sufficient time has been given
all to make their returns.
Returns must be made on both real
and personal property, and If the tax
payer is a professional man, his pro-
fessOn must be stated. The returns
on real estate holdings must be made,
for wild lands, improved lands togeth-
er with the improvements, and on land
in the city.
Complete returns must also be made
on personal property. Especial atten-
ton is called to the fact that deben-
lures. municipal and corporation bonds,
whether in home or foreign corpora
tions, are taxable. Returns must also
be made for all animals owned, for all
water craft. for all jewelry, and Lor
bicycles and automobiles. 1t is these
two latter articles of personal property
which are giving the greatest trouble.
There have been very few returns
made for autos and bicycles" said Mr..
Marcus Baker. receiver of tax returns.
Il have a list, however, of the names
Of every one who owns an automobile
and unless they make their returns for
them, while the supplemental lists are
still open, they viii be double taxed.
And the double tax will be kept on this
time.
There has been plenty of time for
every one to make his returns. The
books closed on June Is last year. 50
this is not an early closing. The re-
turns have come in much better than
they did last year, but the delinquent
list is still large. Unless the returns
are all in within the next few days,
there will be many Savannahians dou-
BILE taxed"
Three large digests must be compiled
by MFR. Baker and placed in the hands
of the Controller General by Aug. /.
The balancing of the books means con-
siderable labor, and in order to COM
plete his work, the digests must be
closed at this time.

w. e. swANsToN WANTS $4,000.
Claims City's Warming Light Was
Not Properly Located,

The case of w. E. Swanston against
the Mayor and Aldermen of the city
of Savannah, a suit to recover $40 900
damages for personal injuries, occupied
the entire time of the City Court yes
terday. The city is represented by Col
William Garrard, and the plaintiff by
Mr.. Walter G. Charlton and Mr.. Da-
vid C. Barrow. The case will be con-
tinued with the opening of court this
morning.
The accident by which Mr.. Swan
ston was injured occurred on Aug. 90
1902, at Drayton and Gwinnett streets
The city had been doing some excavat-
ing and when work closed for the night
hole about five feet deep was left.
Across this plank was placed, raised
about two feet from the ground, and
lantern hung on one end of it.
According to Mr.. Swanston, this
lantern hung far to the left of the
hole. He was riding down the street
on his bicycle and, seeing the lamp and
supposing ii to be directly opposite the
danger point, swung about it, follow
ing the rule and passing to the right.
This landed him directly into the ex-
cavation, rendering him unconscious
and infiicting injuries from which he
claims he will never permanently re-
cover. For these injuries he asks that
he be awarded $4,000 damages.
The claim of the city is that il had
done all in it's power to give ample
warning of the danger at the corner.
1t claims that the light was properly
placed and that had the defendant not
been riding at a high rate of speed he
would have seen the danger in sufi-
cient time to avoid II. This is the sec
ond hearing OF the case.

MOUNTED PATR0LMAN
CHASED AUTOMOBILE.

Was Reported That officer Fired
Upon Machine Running Too Fast.
1t was reported late last night that
a mounted patrolman on Henry street
had fired upon an automobile, whose
owner refused to stop when ordered,
but such was not the official report
made to police headquarters. The au-
tomobile is said to have been running
at very rapid rate of speed, and there
were several persons in the machine.
Mounted Patrolman Mccarthy, on
duty in COllinsville, reported that he
had ordered an automobile on Henry
street to stop He Said there were sew
eral men in the machine and that it
was being run at a speed not allowed
by law. The driver refused to slow
down and the officer gave chase.
Mounted Officer Lang later joined the
chase. AS the two were following the
automobile at d gallop, something about
the machine exploded.

THREE YEARS IN PEN
FOR KILLING A WOMAN
Haywood Found Guilty of InvoIun-
tnry MansIaughter.

tnry MansIaughter.
Thomas Haywood was found gull
ty of involuntary manslaughter in the
commission of an unlawful act in the
Superior Court yesterday. The man
was tried on a charge of murder, the
state claiming that he had shot and
killed Lydia Dilworth.
The shooting occurred at Shipyard
a settlement near Isle of Hope late
on the night of April 16 last. There
were no witnesses to the shooting and
the story told by Haywood to the sher-
iff was a rather strange one. The wom-
an was carried to the Georgia Infirm-
airy, and died few days after the
shooting.
Haywood claimed that the woman
had sent for him and that he walk
ed up the road to meet her. AS he
went he carried his pistol in his hand.
He had Just met the woman and be-
gun talking with her, when the re-
volver accidentally went off, according
to his contention. He claimed he had
just warned the woman to be careful
when the revolver was fired.
Immediately after the shooting, Hay
wood picked the woman up and car
ried her to his boat. Then he rowed
her over to her parents home on
Burnside Island. She was able to
walk, unaided, from the landing to
her home, where she told her father
and brothers of the shooting. They
at once began chasing Haywood. but
he jumped from his boat and swan
across the creek to a marsh. He was
arrested later by Chief Deputy Sheriff
Sweenv.
The story told by Haywood was the
only direct evidence that was present.
ed to the jury. Judge Cam sentenced
the negro to serve three years at hard
labor in the penitentiary.

MONEY WAS SAVED
BY BEER WAGER
As Result BrickInyers VIII Get All
the Beer They Want.

As Result BrickInyers viii Get All
the Beer They Want.
While the key Of beer wagered by
the rival gangs Of workmen engaged
in laying brick on West Broad street
was won by the east side contingent
both forces will be supplied with all
the beer they can drink,
Grateful property owners along the
way have made this possible by pro-
viding free beer 10 the extent OF sew
eral kegs.
OF course the prize key will bear
the victor's stamp, but the losing gang
maintain that the beer from the other
kegs will taste just as sweet.
The attention of the public had been
directed to the unique contest between
the gangs laying brick on opposite
sides of West Broad street from Gwin-
nett to Thirty-first street. The east
side wagered a keg of beer with the
west siders that they would get their
side of the street done first.
Just when the defeated workmen
were grieving over their loss the prop
erty owners along the section of street
where the contest was held came for
ward with a gift of enough beer to
satisfy the most thirsty.
1t is estimated that the contest for
the keg of beer caused such an in
crease in speed that two days were
saved resulting in a saving to the
property holders of between $400 and
$500.
One condition of the gift is that 1t
does not go into effect until Saturday
night, for obvious reasons.

w. A. Dobson, whose proposed trip
to st. Louis pushing a wheeloarroW
with a young woman in it was men
toned in the Morning News some time
ago. is now perfecting his arrange
ments TO go.
Mr.. Dobson believes he can make
the contracts he desires, so that the
trip will be a profitable one financially
as well as in experience.
He hopes to make his arrangements
with the people who desire advertis.
ing within ten days or two weeks. III
he is successful in closing up THESE
matters. he will then leave savannah
within a few days.
So certain is Mr.. Dobson that he Will
make his advertising contracts all
right and undertake the trip, ne mas
gone ahead and made arrangements
with a young woman to take the
wheebarrow ride. She is savannah
girl having resided here for several
years. She is II years of age good
looking, and weighs only 105 pounds.
This last is by far the most important
item to Mr.. Dobson, as he Will nave
to wheel her half across the country.
Until final arrangements are made
her identity will not be disclosed. He
wants to make his financial arrange
ments~before announcing the name of
the girl who is to make the trip with
him. The girls mother, however, has
consented for her to go and she her
self is very much elated over the
prospect.
Advertising schemes will be depend
ed upon to make the trip success
financially. There are two or three
deals on now and Mr.. Dobson says he
believes he will be able to make con-
tracts that will pay him to make the
trip.
He has no doubt of his ability to
carry out his end of a contract if the
trip is undertaken. Mr.. Dobson is
collector for a furniture house here
and covers miles and miles of the citys
streets, either afoot or on a wheel.

hight, he is broad shouldered and
heavily built. His arms and legs are
both we'll developed and he has no
doubt of their ability to stand the
strain that will be put upon them if
the trip is undertaken.

WOMAN WAS ACQUITTED
IN RECORD TIME.
Minute and a Half to Frame Verdict
in Murder Case.


in Murder Case.
Fannie Hamilton, the negro woman
who was accused of killing Jim Os-
borne, colored, with a hatpin, was yes
terday acquitted of the charge of muir
der by a Superior Court trial jury in
a minute and a half. The time estab-
lished a record for murder trial in
the courts here.
Attorney w. F. Slater represented the
defense. 1t was evident at first that
the ground of defense would be that
the wound did not produce death. The
coroner was closely examined on this
point, but maintained that such
wound would cause the blood to flood
the brain and thereby cause death.
Self-defense was then set up and 1t
was on this ground that the woman
was acquitted. At the time that the
small wound was inflicted on Osborne
he and the woman were alone. She
claimed that he advanced upon her
armed with stone and a stick, and
that, fearing an attack. she had hid
behind the door. Later, in self-de-
Tense, she had stuck him with the hat
pin. This evidence could not be con-
troverted by the state.
Judge Cam, in charging the jury, in
structed them that the guilt of the
prisoner must be established beyond
"a reasonable doubt, and if there was
a doubt she must be given the benefit
of it.

An unusually light sentence was inn
posed by Judge Cam in the Superior
Court yesterday in the case against
George Small tried for larceny after
trust
1t was claimed that he had been
intrusted with a pair of shoes, the
property of John w. Phillips, for the
purpose of pawning them and return
ing the money advanced by the broker
TO the owner of the shoes. The shoes,
which the owner valued at SO, we're

the money.
The jury, after hearing all the evil
dence, found the prisoner guilty with
a recommendation that he be punished
as for a misdemeanor and also recon-
mending him to the extreme mercy of
the court. Judge Cam needed the
recommendations, and sentenced Small
to pay fine of $25 or work for thirty
days on the changing. The sentence
is the lightest that has been imposed
In the Superior Court in a long
time.
