JAPAN is DOOMED
WITHOUT OUTSIDE HELP.
Retired Army officer Could Not Be-
Iieve Port Arthur Taken.

Retired Army officer Could Not Be-
Iieye Port Arthur Taken.
The report that the Japanese fleet
had captured Port Arthur, which was
bulletined in the Cotton Exchange yes
terday afternoon, excited considerable
interest among the members of the
party that accompanied President
Spencer of the Southern Railway.
Maj. Gen. Randolph, U. S. A., re-
tired. said he doubted the correctness
of the statement. He is familiar with
the plans of the Notifications at Port
Arthur, he said. and he doesn't believe
that the place can be taken except
by combined attack of land and
naval forces.
Even this will be difficult, he says,
for the Russians will remember that
the forts were taken by land forces
from the rear in the carbohydrates
War and therefore will have made
their preparations to prevent such a
coup this time.
Speaking of the ultimate outcome
of the war Gen. Randolph said, though
Japan will win victories at first, es
pecially at sea. unless she received
outside assistance he doesn't see how
she can avoid being crushed in the
end through Russia's enormous re-
sources and forces.

HEAVY CRIMINAL DOCKET
WILL BE CALLED.
Important Criminal Cases Scheduled
for Trial Next Week.

Aflm1naA LaseS
for Trial Next Week.
Three days of next week will be I'M
usually busy in the first section of the
Superior Court where Judge Paul Sea
brook will preside at the trial of Grim
inal cases. Judge Cam will conduct
the civil branch of the court in cham
bers.
Enough cases were assigned yester-
day to consume the entire week. I'M
less number of them are continued.
On Monday criminals charged with
car breaking, assault with intent to
murder, carrying concealed weapons,
larceny after trust, forgery and numer-
Gus other crimes will be arraigned.
About ten cases are set for hearing.
Another big batch of cases are set for
Tuesday, but the really important
cases will come up for hearing on
Wednesday, If that part of the docket
is reached by that day. Marvel Ed
wards, charged with criminally as
saulting Miss Ada Greene, will be tried
for the second time, the jury having
failed to agree at the first hearing.
The case of the state against Benja-
min F. Dickerson, charged with muir
dering his wife in the Black Ankle
district some weeks ago, will also be
called Wednesday. The hearing prom
ises to be an interesting one.
Harry I. Miller, the boy swindler,
will be arraigned on that day also.
Four bills were returned against him,
and If he is found guilty on each
charge he will probably receive a long
sentence. Miller claims to be II years
old, bpt if this be true his sagacity is
phenomenal. He looks to be IA or 10.
Messrs. Edward Abrahams and Pratt
Adams have been emDlOVed to repre-
sent the boy. Secretary Johnson of the
Young Mems Christian Association has
interested himself in the boys well
fare, and if the prosecutors offer no
serious objection, the court will be
asked to sentence the boy. to a term
in reformatory school, arrangements
having been made by which he can
be put in the George Junior Republic
in New York, one of the best known
reformatories in the country.
Nat Evans will also be put on trial
for assault with intent to murder
and Julius Rosenthal, who, it is claimed,
was shot by Evans at the time of the
fatal ARRAY in gaming rooms on the
corner of Whitaker and Congress
streets, will be. tried for gambling at
the time the shooting took place.
In the second sect'en of the court.
where Judge Cam will preside, civil
cases and motions will be heard
and the same rule governing the two
branches of the court will apply as
formerly.

FRUIT STEAMERS
FOR THIS PORT.
United Fruit Company Wants to Re-
establish Jamaica Line.


Within the present year it is likely
that the United Fruit Company will
/ put on a line of fruit steamers be-
tween Savannah and Jamaica. There
appears to be no doubt that the line
win be again established and Savan-
nah win probably be the port select
| ed.
The steamers formerly came to this
/ port, but several years ago the COM
pany was offered better Inducements
by the railroads TO run the vessels to
Charleston. The advantage Charleston
offered at that time was better freight
rates. The vessels ran regularly to
the South Carolina city until the hur-
ricane destroyed the fruit crop in ia
maica. The steamers were then dis
continued.
1t was given out yesterday on good
authority that the United Fruit Com
pany has decided TO again establish
this line when the new banana crop
in Jamaica is ready for shipping. The
officials of the company are now try
ing to determine whether they can Sc
cure better concessions from the rail-
roads having terminals in Savannah or
whether the line will be forced to run
into the Charleston harbor again, in
order to secure the proper rates from
the railroad companies for distributing
the fruit.
Ii is intended to have one fruit YES
sci arrive each week with a cargo of
from 5000 to 10000 punches of bananas
and other tropical fruits. The fruit
will be distributed by rail to the in
land towns of North Carolina and
South Carolina and in this state.
Prominent ship brokers here believe
1t could be so arranged as to have
the fruit steamers return with full
cargoes after they dispose of their
fruit. There are many things which
are sent out from this port that ia
maica buys, and the shippers see no
reason why Savannah should not take
the fruit and supply the people with
rosin, turpentine, lumber and other
things which they import every year.
The Chamber of Commerce will
probably take such action as to cause
the railroad companies to offer the
United Fruit Company the proper con-
cessions to persuade them to again
run their line of steamers into Savan-
nah. 1t is said that Charleston Is all
ready making a fight to have the line
again established to that port.

about two feet deeper than the pres

1t is planned to have appropriate exer-
cises. The corner stone will, of course,
be laid by Mayor Myers. and it is prob
able that a number of speeches will be
made on that occasion.

COLONIAL PARK POND
WAS FROZEN TIGHT

1t was possible to skate in Colonial
Park yesterday morning. The pond in
the middle of the main walk running
to Perry lane was frozen over.
During the day the ice melted, and
the only danger to pedestrians was
from getting wet The walk is used
by a large number of people, and i'm
wet weather it is impossible. There
is a basin in the artificial stone pave
ment that holds water for days.
Frequent complaint has been made
about the condition of the walk, and
it is probable that Mayor Myers will
take the matter up. Colonial Park is
cared for by the Park and Tree Com
mission, and it is likely that the Mayor
will address a letter to the commission
asking that the basin be filled in, so
that the walk can be used in wet
weather.

mortal service to be held in the the
alter on June 6. That date is set aside
annually as the time for holding the
Pythian memorial, though of late years
it has not been observed in Savannah

cussions it was decided to bring the
matter before the several lodges. This
was done. and all heartily and unan-
imously Endorsed the movement.
The services of the Pythian ritual for
memorial occasions is one of the most
beautiful of any among the secret or
ders. Within the last few years the
fraternity in Savannah has lost sew
eral members and some of great prom
inence. Details for the memorial will
he arranged Immediately after the an
niversary celebration.

with installation of officers and a pub
lie parade. A banquet will be served
in Pythian Castle Immediately after
the parade.
The lodges will observe the anniver-
sary on Feb 25, with special services
in the theater 1t was owing to the
fact that the theater could not be OBJ
tanned on Feb. 10, that the services
were postponed until the later date.

steal programme rendered at this serv-
ice. The list of speakers has already
