WALKING STICKS
FOR ALDERMEN
Being Made from Banister in Old
City Exchange.

Being Made from Banister in Old
City Exchange.
From the walnut banister in the his
toric old City Exchange, upon which
have rested the hands of men who as
sisted in the making of the history of
this country, walking sticks will be
made for Mayor Herman Myers and
the twelve members of Council.
Chairman of Council James M.
Dixon is having the sticks turned out
at his mill, and will present one each
to the Mayor and his fellow aldermen.
The sticks will be highly polished and
then Mayor Myers will take charge of
them. Mr. Myers has determined not
to be outdone by the Chairman of
Council and will have each of the
sticks capped and properly inscribed.
Some weeks ago it occurred to Mr..
Dixon that it would be a nice idea to
have walking sticks made for the al
dermen from the banister. He took
the director of public works into his
confidence and the sticks are now be-
ing made. The Mayor is already fig
uring on an inscription for them. He
will have nice cap made, and so as
to avoid confusion at Council meet
ings, and that they may be readily
identified, it is probable that there will
be a band on each, upon which will be
engraved the name of the owner.

PARKER AND WILLIAMS,
SAYS INDIANA LAWYER.
With This Ticket and Taggart for
Chairman He Predicts Victory.

Chairman He Predicts Victory.
Judge Alton b Parker for Presi-
dent and John Sharpe Williams for
vice president, a sound platform, and
Tom Taggart of Indianapolis to man
age the national campaign would GER
tainly mean a Democratic victory"
said Mr.. Matthew w. Williamson, an
Indianapolis lawyer at the De Soto
last night.
Mr.. Williamson said that Judge
Parker is very strong in the Middle
West and he believes there is no doubt
about his nomination at the st, Louis
convention. He said the Hearst boom
has many friends in Indiana, but that
the New York congressman will not
be able to control a single vote from
Indiana in the national convention.
He predicts that Judge Parker, if
nominated, will defeat Roosevelt and
says Indiana will certainly return to
the Democratic column. Mr.. William
son praised the leadership of Con-
gresham John Sharpe Williams in the
House, and declared that there is a
strong sentiment in Indiana favoring
his nomination for second place on the
national ticket.
Hearst is losing strength every day
and I do not believe he will have one
hundred votes in the convention. He
is making a hard fight and spending
several barrels of money judging
from GAe amount that is floating
around in Indiana" declared Mr.. Will
hanson. ut is now settled fact that
no effort will be made to have the
Kansas City platform reaff1rmed. 1
am confident if Judge Parker is the
nominee of the party Mr.. Bryan will
stump the country for him"

SW0RE WITNESSES
BY PLATOONS.
Large Number of Negroes in Case in
u. s. Courts.

Large Number of Negroes in Case in
u. $. Courts.
When the names of the witnesses
against William E. Moore, indicted in
the federal court on several counts for
violating pension laws, were called
yesterday, a large number of dusky
evidence-givers arose and marched for
ward to be sworn. Judge Speer,
noticing the large number, turned to
Deputy Clerk Gillespie and said: you
will swear the witnesses by platoons."
Moore is indicted on several counts,
in the claims for pensions advanced
by Priscilla Davis and Louisa Simp-
son. 1t is alleged that he knew he
was making false affidavits; that he
forged the name of Priscilla Davis to
one claim; that he forged the names
of witnesses to affldavitS, and violated
the pension laws in almost every par
ticular with the intent to defraud the
government of large sums of money.
The defendant denies the allegations
of the government and claims he will
be able to prove his contentious. 1t
was nearly o'clock when the wit
nesses had all been sworn and court
was adjourned until this morning at
10 o'clock.
Judge Speer announced that COM
Portable quarters had been secured for
the jury at the De Soto and that the
jurors would be furnished with suffi-
cient food. and with cigars. He stated
further that If the necessities of the
case seemed to demand it, other re-
freshments would be served. He stat
ed that the jurors might take trips to
Thunderbolt, etc., in the custody OF
the bailiff. but they could not dis
perse and that newspapers would be
denied them.

CHILD SWALLOWED
LARGE TIN TOY.
Little Raymond Rosin Swallowed
sharp Piece of Tin Soldier.

sharp Piece OF lin soldier
By swallowing the tin helmet of a
toy soldier. shortly before noon yes
tesday, Raymond, the 1-year-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. Rosin of No. SIS
Harrison street, narrowly escaped
choking to death.
The child was playing with the piece
of tin, which had become detached from
the rest of the toy. Child like the lit
tie fellow tried TO get it into his mouth
and soon succeeded. The attention OF
his mother was first called to what
was happening by the little fellows
cries, which were soon stopped, as he
had to gasp for breath.
The mother grabbed the baby in her
arms and ran with all possible speed 10
Huff's drug store, at Oglethorpe avenue
and West Broad street. Other MEM
bers of the family followed, and con-
siderable excitement was occasioned.
DR.. friedrich Wahl took charge OF
the child. The tin lodged in the boy $
throat, and a large lump could be seen
where it had stopped. In trying 10
remove the tin a small portion of ii
was broken off. This piece was re-
moved and a firm hold was then OBJ
tanned with an instrument on the
larger piece, still in the child's throat.
This also was gotten out, though there
was danger of cutting the throat in
pulling the tin out.
The piece of tin was over an inch
long and almost as wide, though 1t was
bent together. 1t was some time be-
fore Dr. Wahl finished the operation,
and several hundred people gathered
about the drug store. The child will
recover.

PACKING HOUSE
FOR SAVANNAH

MR.. HIGBIE SENT HERE WITH

A branch packing house Of Swift &
Co. may be established in Savannah.
Mr.. Nathan e Higoie. the personal
representative OF Swift & Co. inform
ed Mr.. w. J. Donlan. the secretary Of
that he had been authorized by the
Swifts to look the held over here with
that idea in view.
The company has recently estab-
lished a branch packing house in Fort
Worth. Tex, and the nearest branch
house to Savannah is located in Mem
phis Mr.. Higbie will make a favor
able report when he returns TO Chi
cago and it is possible that the pack
ing house may be established here in
the near future.
An enterprise of this kind would call
for the employment of several hundred
men and would also create a great de-
mand for cattle which would make it
profitable to the farmers in this sec
ton of Georgia.
The idea in selecting Savannah as
branch house is to have a shipping
point on the Atlantic coast to supply
f,a1 10
branch offices in New York but has no
packing house on the Atlantic coast.
would Mean Much to City.
An enterprise of this kind would
mean the expenditure of several hun
dred thousand dollars in Savannah, in
addition to the great benefit that would
be derived by the merchants on account
of the large amounts that would Oe
paid out weekly, or monthly, by the
company to it's employees. The othcers
of the Chamber of Commerce Will make
an effort to induce the Swifts to estab-
fish the branch house here after Mr.
Higbie has submitted his report.
Mr.. Higbie is an enthusiastic ad-
mirer of the city of Savannah, and will
present its claims in a manner that
will be calculated to have much 10
do with causing the company to select
Savannah for the branch packing
house. Mr.. Higbie left last msht Ior
Asheville and will return to Chicago
within the next ten days, at which time
he will take the matter up with the
Swifts and communicate with Secre-
tary Donlan of the Chamber of Com
merce.
Cattle Farms Will Follow.
In discussing the subject of branch
packing houses MIR. Higbie declared
that such an enterprise would be GER
tain to be followed by cattle raising.
He said that this had happened when
the Swifts established branch in
Texas At first but little cattle was
bought, because the native meat was
not the best.
But it was not long, he said, before
the people began growing better
quality OF cattle, for which they now
| find a ready market. This was at Ell
Paso. Mr.. Higbie is confident that
cattle can be raised successfully in
this section, and is equally as certain
that cattle raising will become quite
an industry here if the branch pack
ing house is established.

den in Patrol Wagon.
Twenty dollars was paid last night
by T. F. Rafferty,, one of the Philadel-
phia ball players for a smoke, and it
was a very short smoke, too.
Rafferty,, with some of the other
players. had gone to the theater. He
was smoking in the lobby when Fire
man Russell, who was on special duty,
told him smoking was not allowed.
A few minutes later the fireman
found Rafferty, with the cigar still in
his hand and he was arrested and sent
to the police station in the patrol
wagon. There he put up cash bond
of $40 and was released. The case
will be heard in Police Court this
morning and the ball player will then
get his money. or some portion of it,
back.
According to the statement made by
Rafferty,, he did not smoke after the
fireman spoke to him. He was holding
the cigar in his hand and putting 1t
out by knocking off the ashes. Some
of the fire fell on the carpet and the
fireman then made the case, he says.

Mayor Myers transacted the city's

Everything that is to be carried to
the new quarters has now been moved
from the City Exchange. There are
several loads of records that have not
yet been moved, but those that are to
be preserved at all are to be placed IN

The moving of the city treasurer's
large safe proved quite job. 1t was
moved only to the entrance of police
headquarters last night, after working
with it all day. 1t will be carried the
rest of the way this morning. An eff
fort was first made to pull the safe
along the pavement. Two mules were
hitched to it, and it was moved for a
couple of blocks that way, but the
friction on the small wheels under it
was so great that the plan had to be
abandoned. 1t was lacked up and
placed on rollers. In that way 1t was
