JUVENILE COURT
is NOT LIKELY
AUTHORITIES Indifferent.
MAYOR MYERS SAYS COURT is NOT
FEASIBLE NOW.

Thinks That RefOrmatOry Would
Have to Come First-COunty Com
missioner Moore Recalls That
Voters in Chatham County, in
Special Election, Were Opposed to
Establishing Reform school.
Mrs. webb Has Not Abandoned
Her Plans.
1t does not seem likely that Savan-
nah will have either Juvenile court
or a reformatory for some time to
come.
Neither the city nor county author
tiles enthuse on the subject. Mayor
Myers doesn't think a Juvenile court
feasible in Savannah at this time, and
says reformatory is to be considered
first, although even the matter of
reformatory is debateable.
Recorder Shelby Myrick cannot see
the value of a juvenile court in Sa-
vannah, and none of those in police
circles, who We're talked to on the sub
jeCt were found to favor it. With one
accord the police officers agree that
there is no possible chance of reform
ing any of the juvenile criminals who
are picked up in this city.
In speaking OF the matter yesterday
Mr.. A. B. Moore. one of the County
Commissioners, said: 81 have not
looked into the subject of juvenile
court sufficiently to know whether or
not it is the best thing that could be
established at present. Until l nave
done so l would not like to express an
opinion regarding the desirability or
undesirability of the project.
Plan Was Voted Down.
GAS for the establishment of re-
formatory in which youthful criminals
could be placed, the voters OF Chat-
ham county have set themselves
strongly against it. A few years ago
the proposition of establishing re-
form school was put before the voters
of this county and defeated by an
overwhelming majority. doubt II the
sentiment has changed"
Other commissioners who were ask
ed for an opinion concerning the move
ment advocated by Mrs. Webb took
the same ground as did Mr.. Moore.
All pointed to the fact that the estab-
lishment of a reformatory had been
voted down, and accepted this as
proof that such an institution was not
desired in Chatham county. Regard
ing the juvenile court, all consulted
took the position that there was not
enough business for a juvenile court
to warrant the establishment of it.
Mrs. webb VIII Not Give Up.
Mrs. Richard Webb president of the
w. c. T. u, said that a communica-
ton would be addressed to the Mayor
and City Council within a few days,
urging that steps be taken to estab-
lish the juvenile court for the trial of
youthful criminals. Mrs. Webb will
hold a conference with Judge S. B.
Adams and request him to assist in the
matter. AS yet Judge Adams has not
been approached on the subject.
Mrs. Webb is very much interested
in the establishment of both the juve-
nile court and the county reform
school, but says she prefers that some
one else take the lead in the move
ment, as she desires no credit, even if
the city and county should act favor
ably. 81 have simply stated the agita-
ton of the question because 1 believe
it duty. I would much rather some
one else have any glory if we are sue
cesSful."

Reach an Agreement.
At the opening of the United States
court yesterday morning announcement
was made that the case of R. Ropner
& Co., against Wilder & Co., a case
in admiralty. had been settled out of
court. The plaintiff was represented

ing the interim an agreement was
reached and the case has been crossed

MAYOR TURNED DOWN
COMMITTEE ON FIRE
For increasing Salaries without
Authority From Council.


Mayor Myers and Alderman Wright,
the chairman of the Committee on Az
counts, yesterday caught and held up
an increase in the pay of the fOremen
of the fire department, which had not
been authorized by Council.
A peculiar feature of the affair was
that the foremen had drawn the in
crease last month, though without the
knowledge of the Mayor or the chair
man of the Committee on Accounts.
The increase in the foremens pay was
made By the Committee on Fire.
When or where it was ever passed
cannot be stated exactly. 1t had new
or been announced by the chairman
of the committee. or by any other
member, that an increase was 70 be
granted. The pay roll last month,
with the foremen's increase. slipped
through.
This month, the Mayor got wind of
what was coming and notified Alder
man Wright to be on the lookout.
When the pay roll was submitted to
him, he held 1t up. The Mayor was
Notified. The roll had to be corrected,
before the signatures of Mr.. Wright
and Mr.. Myers could be obtained.
The Mayor is not opposed to raising
the pay of the foremen, but he is OPP
posed to dark-lantern methods used in
securing such a raise.
"They may deserve the raise" said
the Mayor. but that is not the way
to give it. An increase in salary is
a matter for Council and not for
committee"
The foremen thought it was all
joke, when told yesterday that the
pay roll had been held up. Fire Chief
Mcguire made corrections in rapid or
der though it was not his mistake,
and the pay roll was then signed. The
matter will now be brought before
Council, and the increase will doubtless

WEATHER ON EASTER
SHOULD BE PLEASANT.
1t Has Not Rained on April 3 During
the Last Ten Years.

If the weather. like history, repeats
itself, Easter Sunday should bring
pleasant weather to Savannahians.
The records kept in the Weather Bu-
reau show that it has not rained on
April g. the date on which Easter falls
this year, during the last ten years.
Owing to variation in the date on
which Easter falls each year, Easter
weather, properly speaking, could not
be computed, but April 8 has been
without rain, though on alternating
years the day has been marked part
ly cloudy by the official compilers of
records in the postoffice building.
Though on alternating years the
weather has been clear and then part
ly cloudy. the circumstances. if the
same sequence prevails this year, point
to clear weather tomorrow. 1t has
never, during the last ten years, rained
on April 3, and the precedent give no
indication of being broken this year.
Last night there was nothing in the re-
ports to indicate rainy Easter.

of times. Adjoining lots are for sale

NAVAL STORES CASES
BEFORE FEDERAL COURT.
Occupied Entire Time of Court mt
Yesterdays session.

Yesterdays Session.
In the United States court yester-
day the naval stores cases were be-
gun The hearing of the cases occu-
pied the entire session and will be
continued this morning.
Before beginning the trial of the
cases Judge Speer asked the jurors if
any of them were in the employ of
the United States, or in any way even
as relatives of bondholders connected
with the naval stores companies con-
cerned. The question of relationship
to stockholders brought out number
of amusing points.
United States District Attorney
Striplin of the northern district of
Florida was introduced to the court by
Mr.. Leaken, and announcement made
that Mr. Striplin would assist Mr..
Leaken in the trial of the cases. Mo-
ton was then made to Try all the
cases against the Peacock, Hunt &
West Co. at one time. This was re-
sisted By Judge Adams. The court
however, instructed the Jury to bear
in mind the differences between the
cases.
In the cases against the Peacock
Hunt * West Co., which were called
first, Judge Adams presented an
amendment in which it was recited
that the cases had been adjudicated
heretofore in the Florida United States
court. Mr.. Striplin pleaded surprise,
though it was contested that, as pros
ecutor, he could not possibly be sur
prised.
The court ruled that the cases could
be taken up in whatever order the
district attorney chose, and the case
against the Southern Naval Stores
Company was then begun. This, one
of the smallest of the seven, involves
about 81, 600. The circumstances of the
cases, seven in all, are familiar to
readers of the Morning News.
