STILL HOPES

Parkersburg, June 3O.-Fran-
els B. LOOMS, assistant secretary
of State, and a brother Of F. Kent
Loomis, who was lost off the
steamer Kaiser Wilhelm H., ar
rived here yesterday at noon and
left for Marietta last night. He
could give no information about
his brother, further than what has
appeared in press dispatches eX-
cept to say that very thorough
investigation is being conducted
both by the State department and
the steamship company, both OF
which so far have been fruitless.
Mr.. LOOMS regards his brother $
disappearance as a mystery, but
hopes for it's ultimate solution.

Editor Oil Review:
Dear Sir:-Is it to be baseball
or not after July 4? Do you want
baseball to continue? 1t will be
up to the fans to determine this
derrick and hillside fans. Let the
baseball killers line the derricks
and hillsides and you can easily
outline the empty seats III the
grand stand. Unless the grand
stand and bleachers are occupied
the management cannot support
the teams on the diamond. They
need all the quarters in the grand
stand. and will continue to give
better ball if patronized. The
baseball killers on the side hills
and derricks put the Sistersville
club on the bum last season for
$3.50. They are the first to come
to town and knock, and call the
present team rotten. Consider the
source. Come down and form
your own opinion. Fill the seats
and they can give You good ball.

NO CUT IN RAIL ROAD RATES

a scare item about railroad rates
being cut between this city and

B. & O. had reduced the rate be-

and the trolley line would make
a lower rate in a short time.

CROP OF POTATOES
LATER THAN USUAL
Freeze at This Time Would Make
1T Even Later.

Freeze at This Time Would Make
it Even Later.
Truck farmers report that the potato
yield this year will be somewhat later
than usual, though not enough to make
any great difference.
In former years the plants have been
pretty well advanced at this sea-
son of the year, but this year the
plants are just beginning to come up
above the ground.
No reason is given for the delay. The
potatoes were planted at practically
the same time of year and every pos
sible care given them. Other plants,
such as some of the harder varieties
of beans and the English peas, are
well advanced, and yet the potato
plants seem to be hanging back.
A freeze at this time would be dam
aging in many respects. 1t is not be-
lieved that it would permanently in
jure the vegetables, but it would throw
the plants back and cause a still longer
delay. Little is known yet of the
amount of yield this year, though
there is nothing to indicate a short
age.
MT. M. Ii EIAity, one Vi TIE DeSt
known truck farmers of this vicinity,
when asked about the matter, said:
II have not seen the potato plants
on any farm except my own. and so
can judge of what the yield will be
only from that. There is nothing that
/ can see which will indicate a short
age or an increase. In fact, the plants
have advanced so slowly that prac-
ticaly no idea can yet be obtained as
to the size of this years yield.
THE plants are only just coming UP
and the tops just beginning to show.
This will probably make the crop later
this year than usual. I do not know
what has caused the delay, as the
plants have apparently had every adj
vantage necessary.
"A freeze at this time, or within the
next ten or twenty days, would be hard
on the plants, though 1 do not believe
that. it would work them permanent
injury. 1t would have a tendency,
however, to fell the plants, and the
length of time required for them to
come up again would mean that much
more delay before the yield could be
obtained However, 1 think there is
no danger of any serious falling off"

ANSWER TO LIBEL
OF ROMEO DELEGAL
Owners of FredericI<a File An
swer to Suit for Damages.

Owners of Fredericka File An
swer to Suit for Damages.
An answer to the libel for damages
brought against the master and own
ers of the steamship Fredericka by
Romeo Delegal for injuries received,
was filed yesterday in the office of the
clerk of the United States courts. The
answer was filed through Messfs
Saussy & Saussy, attorneys for the
respondent.
In the answer the defendants claim
that the libeIlant has no cause for
damages, in that the accident, by
which the injuries were inflicted, was
not due to carelessness, or negligence,
on the part of the owners Further
more, the piece of brass which fell on
the head of the libellant, it is claimed,
fell only for a distance of 10 or Is feet,
and could not have inflicted injuries
as serious as charged.
In the answer is clause stating
that the warrant was served only a
and that, as the respondents therefore
had little time to look into the libe,
of the plaintiff, that the right to
change the answer, or amend it, is re-
served
Exceptions to the libel are also taken
on the grounds that the libellant was
not injured through any defect in the
steamship, nor by the steamship itself.

EVIDENCE TAKEN IN
GAYN0R BOND CASE.
Several Witnesses Examined Before
Commissioner Hewlett.

Several Witnesses Examined Before
Commissioners Hewlett.
z Evidence was taken yesterday before
United States Commissioner w. R.
Hewlett to determine whether Greene
and Gavnor were ever in custody in
Savannah.
The evidence was taken for the pur-
pose of presenting it in a case now
pending in the United States court for
the Northern District of New York.
where the bondsman of John f. Gay
nor seeks to be released from the ex-
property by the United States govern
msnt.
The examination of witnesses was
conducted by Mr.. Abram j. Rose, at
torney for William B. Kirk of SYRIA
cuse, who is surety on Gaynors bond.
The government was represented by
Judge T. l.. Arms, assistant United
states district attorney for the North
ern District of New York and
Marion Erwin, special assistant to the
Attorney General. The witnesses ex-
amined were Messrs. Walter G. Charl-
ton, attorney for Greene and Gaynor,
George H. Richter, S. r. B. Gillespie,
deputy clerk OF the United States court,
and a newspaper man.
Attorney Rose believes that If he can
produce sufficient evidence to show
that Greene and Gaynor were really
In custody here that he can succeed in
having the judgment executed by the
United States government set aside.
He endeavored to prove by the wit
nesses examined that, though the trial
in Savannah was only on preliminary
pleas, when the law does not require
the presence of the defendants, the
court on this occasion compelled their
attendance, this constituting actual
custody.
The first witness examined was a
newspaper man. who reported the pro-
ceedngs of the Greene and Gaynos
hearing in February, 1902. He testified
that during this hearing the court on
one occasion, rebuked Gaynor for leav-
ing the court room while the hearing
was in progress, and cautioned him not
to do so again. He also testified that
the court instructed the defendants not
to leave Chatham county until the
hearing of the case was concluded. He
testified to the accuracy of certain pro-
ceedings published during the progress
of the hearing. District Attorney
Arms objected to the introduction of
this testimony on the grounds that 1t
was not competent.
Attorney Charlton testified that the
court had forbidden the defendants
leaving the court room during the pre-
liminary hearing.
Mr.. George H. Richter, who took the
stenographic reports of the prelimi-
nary hearing, testified as to the accu-
racy of these notes of the proceedings.
Deputy Clerk Gillespie swore that the
court records in the preliminary hear
ing of the Greene and Gaynor case
were correct.
The attorneys interested in the case
left last night for Atlanta, where they
will take additional evidence this morn
ing. Messrs. Fielder & Rountree will
be examined in Atlanta. This testi-
lnony with that taken here, will be
properly certified to and taken to New
York to be used in the hearing that
will come up in the United States
court next month.

G0ETTE'S NEW DIRECTORY
Puts the Population of Savannah al
7S.1O1.


The fourth edition of Goette's Sa-
vannah Directory has just been issued,
and is now being delivered. 1t is the
largest directory Mr.. Goette has ever
issued, covering 1,1S6 pages. Instead
of two columns of names on each page
as heretofore, there is but one column.
In his preface Mr.. Goette, after hav-
ing made a careful census of the city
and having in the course Of it's revision
for the directory used the utmost care,
puts the population at 1901. While
this is somewhat less than any esti-
mate that has been made, Mr.. Goette
says it represents the population of
Savannah as accurately as it can be
obtained.
In his street directory Mr.. Goette has
taken pains to have the arrangements
so clear that the location of a street
may be determined at a glance. His
business directory is also complete and
well arranged.
In every respect Mr.. Goette claims
for his directory for 1904 all and more
than has been contained in any pre-
vious directory that he has issued.

Fight for Hotel Help Business.
Although railroad men report that
the tourist tide is now at standstill,
and that there is quite as much travel
still toming to. the South as there, is
going in the opposite direction, such
condition is abnormal for this part
of the season, and can last but short
time longer. Indeed it is said that
the northbound trains that pass
through Savannah from Florida are
now averaging about fifty passengers
on every trip.
1t will be many weeks before enough
of the visitors to Florida will have left
that state to make an appreciate
change at the popular resorts. for all
railroad men who are familiar with
the situation claim that the season
now drawing to a close has been by
far the best in the history of the bust
ness and this despite the statements
that were made early in the season
that travel from the East was much
less than had been the case in former
years.
1t would seem that the authorities
for such statements were deceived as
10 the numbers coming to the South,
by the fact that the travel differed
rom that Of former years. in that in
stead of coming in spurts, as it were,
II was more. or less in steady stream
which, though making less of a show,
was, nevertheless, quite as effective
as the PUSHES. The best index of trav-
81 Is found in the passenger receipts of
tae railroads, and these without eXcep-
lion show that the business of this
tourist season has been materially
heavier than that of last year.
Inc Importance of the northbound
BUSINESS to the various through lines
ana the steamship companies with
florlda connections, is shown by the
number of passenger representatives

are there several men connected with

there Is much rivalry between the

passenger man to say by what route

there. At the conclusion of Col. Spark
mans statement, l.. L. Buchanan, in

of Governors moved that Deep Wat
