FOR FOREIGN IMMIGRATION.

savannah Interested in the Move
ment to Bring People to Georgia.
Hon. F. P. Sargent, commissioner
migration, who will address the Geor-
gia Legislature at it's next session, is
expected to address the Greater Geor-
gia Association at its meeting next
week June %.
The immigration movement has
taken a firm hold. The Gov
ernor. in his message to the
Legislature, it is understood, will
recommend a Department of I'm
migration. The plan for carry
ing it on provides for a board of
immigration commissioners, probably
six. to be appointed by the Governor.
Savannah is naturally interested In
any movement looking towards the
bringing of foreign immigrants to
Georgia, as 1t will be through the ports
of Savannah and Brunswick that they
will go to the interior and Savannah
will be an important distributing point.
The proper distribution of immigrants
will be discussed by Commissioner Sar-
gent before the Legislature, and if the
officers of the Greater Georgia Assoc
citation are successful in getting him
to address the meeting next week the
movement will probably be given some
definite direction.
In the creation of state
department OF immigration Savan-
nah will of course have part.
without question one, at least, of the
commissioners will be appointed
from here. Savannah's interest in the
movement for foreign immigration is
not limited to the business that would
pass through the port. The territory
in this section of the state offers an
attractive field to the foreign immi-
grant, as well as to the immigrant
from the North and West in which to
make his home and every effort will be
made to secure a contribution of
them to the best advantage.
While the Greater Georgia Association
has so far confined its efforts to bring
ing people from the Middle West it is
expected to take up the question of
bringing people here from Europe and
In this Savannah is largely interested.
While nothing has been done towards
inviting Commissioner Sargent to Sa-
vannah ii is understood that the mat
ter will be presented to the City Coun-
Gil and to the Chamber of Commerce
and they will probably use their ef-
forts to have the commissioner visit

CHASED MAD DOG
MANY BLOCKS
TWO PERSONS WERE BITTEN.
DIR. j. c. LeHARDY ATTACKED
NEAR THE DE SOTO.

man RemIey, Who Chased Animal
for Blocks, Is Positive II Was Suf-
fering from Rabies-Tried to Bite
Women and Children.
A dog supposed to have been mad, bit
DR.. ]. C. LeHardy on the hand yester-
day, then ran down Liberty street
from the De Soto Hotel to Wheaton
street, where it bit a negro woman.
and was finally killed after an exciting
chase in which several hundred people
joined. The dog snapped at everyone
in sight and spread terror among the
people in its path.
Dlt LeHardy was walking down
Bull street, when he noticed the dog
approaching. He says be noticed
nothing extraordinary about the ami
NAL and was paying no attention to it,
when it suddenly snapped his hand and
ran on down the street.
There was "a sharp cut, where the
teeth entered and the hand bled pro-
fusely. DR.. LeHardy went to Solomon's
drug store and dressed his wound. He
says he does not think the dog was
mad and fears no serious results from
the bite.
Was FOaIning Mt Mouth.
Patrolman Remley, however, who
was in at the death, says the dog was
undoubtedly mad. 1t was foaming at
the mouth, swapping at everything in
sight and its eyes had a greenish glare
in them, according to the uniformed
man.
After biting DR.. LeHardy the dog ran
east along Liberty street, swapping at
a number of children. 1t was reported
to the police that two children had
been bitten, but this could not be veri-
fed. At Wheaton street the dog bit
Oracle Mack, a negro woman, on the
leg.
Knocked Down with Brick.
BY that time there was a large crowd
following composed mostly of small
boys who We're pelting the canine with
bricks and stones. Patrolman Remley
here got into the race. He ran The
dog down into the Coast Line yards
and back to Liberty street again he
fore getting a shot. AS the officer
fired the dog fell, but one of the small
boys in the crowd, claims the honor
of having aimed true. The boy says
he knocked the dog down with a brick
and he is probably right as the canine
afterwards got up and ran several
blocks. 1t got into an alley and Pa
trolman Remley passed his revolver
to j. e. Roundtree. who killed the
animal.
The woman was not so badly bitten
as DR.. LeHardy. The dog bit her
on the leg through her dress and the
clothing partly protected the flesh.
1t is not known to whom the dog
belonged.

ALDERMEN PROPOSE
TO REGULATE WIRES
May he Put Underground, but no De-
cisiOn Has Been Reached.

At a recent meeting of the Streets
and Lanes Committee, an ordinance
regulating the telephone and telegraph
wires of the city was considered.
Alderman Davant has been consider
ing such an ordinance for some time.
The matter was brought before the
committee to get the views of the va
rious aldermen. Every one simply eX-
pressed his own opinion and no con-
clusion was reached.
Something will have to be done,
though" says Alderman Davant.
The placing of all the wires under
ground is one of the plans being con-
sidered, which may be adopted. The
proposed joint use of poles is also be-
ing discussed, but is opposed. Just
what will be the outcome can not now
be said. Some ordinance regulating the
wires will doubtless result. however.

Make Railroad Pay for Privilege.
Believes city should Bear All Ex-
penses and says II Would BE a
Money Making Proposition.
Do away with the basement to the
City Market, put the first floor on a
level with the streets, allow the trolley
cars to run straight through on Bar
nard, but make them pay for the
privilege, and build an auditorium on
the second fioor.-This is the suggestion
now made by Mr.. Jacob Collins.
The city at present" said Mr.. Col
Inns, has between 100000 and 100000
invested in the market, from which it
gets very little revenue, The base
ment stores are unsightly and a menace
10 health. And they are source of
very little revenue. A number of
them are unoccupied.
my idea for an auditorium is to
bring the Market proper down to
level with the streets do away with the
basement entirely and allow the Barn
ard street cars TO run straight through.
Let the street car company pay for
the privilege. Dangerous curves around
the Market would be avoided.
Let City Put Up buildings.
Put the auditorium on the second
floor. There is more than enough room.
All the space not needed for the au-
ditorum could be rented for restau-
rants. offices or small traders. My
idea would be to have the city pay
for it. It would be the taxpayers
erecting the auditorium after all.
Besides, the city would be preserv-
ing one of it's most valuable sources
of income. There is a large amount
invested in the market, yet the in
come from it is small 1t has been
steadily decreasing for several years.
! doubt if the city now gets 3 per cent.
on its investment there.
Would Increase Its Income.
by making the improvements, the
city would increase its income at least
one-half and would give the citizens of
Savannah an auditorium as well. 1t
would be an auditorium that would be
q monument for all time too, for it
would easily be large enough for a city
of 100000 or 400, 900. The building of il
would save the city many hundred
thousand dollars in years to come"
Mr.. Collins said that he realized that
there would be some persons opposed
to the plan. He believed it the best
way though, to get the auditorium and
at the same time preserve a valuable
source of income to the city. Any one
who had not thought about the matter,
he said, might think the plan was not
feasible, but he believes 1t is. The CITY,
he says, would get good interest on the
money invested, whereas now the in
come from the market is rapidly di-
minishng.

DEATH OF SAM PARKS.
Life Of Once Noted Labor Leader
Ends in Sing Sing Prison
His Career.

Ossining. N. Y, May Sam Parks,
the New York labor leader, who was
sent to Sing-Sing prison some months
ago, after his conviction on charge of
extortion, died in prison Wednesday.
He had consumption at the time of his
conviction, and had failed rapidly since
he was sent to Sing Sing.
Sam Parks was prominent for years
in labor circles, being leader in Chi
cago before coming to New York, and
the loyalty to him of his associates was
remarkable. He was walking delegate.
or business agent, of the local House
smiths and Bridgemen's union for sew
eral years, and it was under his leader
ship that the big strike of iron workers
in New York last year was inaugurated.
That strike involved the national iron
workers organization, and National
President Buchanan finally announced
himself as against Parks and the gem
eral strike throughout this country
which the New York leader sought to
have ordered. The contest was carried
to the annual convention of the union,
where Parks won to the extent that he
prevented the recognition of rival To-
cal union, which had the approval Of
both President Buchanan and the New
York contractors. During last summer
charges of extortion we're made against
Parks, and he was finally convicted, it

Rains Retard Farm Work in MANY
Systematically Weather Has
Bad Effect,

Washington, May 4.-The weather
bureaus weekly summary of crop
conditions is as follows: The north
ern Rocky mountain districts and the
states OF the upper Mississippi val
ley have experienced week of favor
able temperatures, but throughout the
southern states, Ohio valley and the
greater part of the middle Atlantic
states and New England it has been too
cool for termination and growth. Rains
nave prevented farm work in the Ohio
valley, Tennessee and portions of the
lower lake region, middle Atlantic states
and New England, while drought in the
south Atlantic and east gulf districts and
over the southern Rocky mountain
region and western Texas continues with
increased severity. With the exception
of Kansas, southern Missouri and Ar
kansas corn planting has progressed
slowly, but preparations for this
throughout the corn belt have been ex-
tensive. and with good weather the COM
ing week planting will be vigorously
pushed in Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois and
Indiana.
In Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri
winter wheat has advanced favorably
except where damaged by floods in the
last-named state. In Illinois, Ohio, Ken
lucky, Tennessee, the Virginias, Mary
land and North Carolina an improve
ment is indicated, but in Indiana, Ohio,
and Pennsylvania much will be plowed
up, and the outlook in Michigan is poor.
Wheat is now heading in southern Kan
Dat seeding is nearly finished in the
northern portion of the central val
leys and is we'll advanced in the lake
region. In Iowa the stands are better
than were expected, and while some
complaints of slow termination are re-
ported from Illinois, the general outlook
in that state and in portions Of Nebraska
and Kansas is promising.
While most reports indicate that
peaches have been extensively killed,
the outlook continues promising in sec
tons. Apples and other fruits in the
more southerly districts have suffered
less injury. ...-4 s.,,.s....t

The reports which come from hu-
stralia indicate that the population is
not growing at satisfactory rate.
The birthrate continues to, decline,
while the mortality among infants
goes on increasing. Meantime, the
emigration from the island exceeds
the immigration. Australia has an
area more than sufficient for the pop
ulation of the whole of Europe. Yet
it has but 3,75o,ooo inhabitants, and
at the present rate it will take 46 Ia
years to double the population, and
113 years to give it a population Of
