STATIONARY AWNINGS
ARE DANGEROUS.
Fire Chief Says Men Can't Get Lad
ders in windows.

IN
Stationary awnings are not only un-
slightly, but are dangerous, and, in
cases of fire, interfere with firemen.
They should not be allowed, and now
it an opportune time for their removal"
This statement was made yesterday
by Supt. Mcguire of the Savannah fire
department. Several days ago City
Marshal Dreeson, in accordance with
an ordinance, notified all proprty own
ers that awnings must be at least seven
feet above the sidewalk In the event
the owners of awnings which are too
low do not have them raised the city
marshal will docket cases against them.
This relieves pedestrians from the in
convenience they have heretofore been
subjected to because of low awnings,
but it does not change what Supt. Ma
guire considers a far more important
matter in connection with the awnings
of the city.
Stationary awnings are constant
menace to property and in a measure
a menace to life," said the fire chief,
in discussing the awning question. In
case of fire it is impossible for my men
to get ladders to buildings where these
stationary awnings are located. 1t not
only makes Ii more dangerous LOT lie
firemen, but it endangers the property
where they are located. The lives of
the people in these buildings are also
endangered.
Il should be glad to see steps taken
towards the taking down of these avn
ings. They are unsightly to begin with,
and what is more important they are
dangerous. It strikes me that now is
a good time to make this change. All
awnings should be so they will fold
back against the buildings they pro-
tect. l should be glad to see Council
pass an ordinance on this subject"

TROOP MEDAL WON
BY CORPORAL WAY.
Made 20 Out of Possible 80 in Hus-
sar's Annual Revolver Contest.

Made 20 Out of Possible 80 in Hus-
sar's Annual Revolver Contest.
A record of twenty-nine hits out
of a possible thirty was made by
Corpl. C. L. Way in the annual pistol
contest of the Georgia Hussars at
White Bluff yesterday. He was
awarded the troop medal. Capt. w.
w. Gordon, Jr., Private w. G. Barn
well and o. c. Martin tied for second
place with scores of rs.
Capt. Gordon withdrew and it was
decided between Privates Barnwell and
Martin. Private Martin was awarded
the second prize, a silver hunting cup,
and Private Barnwell was given the
third prize, a pair of silver sleeve links.
The shooting was at thirty yards and
twenty-seven men took part in the con-
test. The average made was IS. Capt.
Gordon said the troopers had not prac-
ticed in over two years. The scores
made by those who took part in the
contest were remarkable, Capt Gordon
thinks.
The prizes were presented by Maj.
Drew of the Texas State Troops and
formerly United States army officer.
He pronounced the shots fine and was
very much surprised when he learned
that the troopers had not been practic-
ing regularly for the contest.
The Georgia Hussars spent the day
at White Bluff as the guests of Lieut..
w. II. Connerat, Jr., at his country
home. They left the city in the morn
ing under the command of Capt w.
w, Gordon, Jr After the revolver
contest had been decided the men were
allotted their share of rations and pre-
pared their own dinner. The newly
elected first lieutenant left nothing I'M
done that would add to the pleasure of
his guests, and the day was most en-
joyably spent. After dinner had been
served the troopers spent two hours in
playing games, and in other ways
passed a pleasant afternoon.
The individual scores in the revolver
contest follow:

OPEN SWITCH CAUSED
TRAINS TO COLLIDE.

Coast Line and Southern Railway
Trains Met at Central junction.
Atlantic Coast Line train No. 80 col
lided with a freight train of the South
ern Railway early yesterday morning
near Central Junction.
The accident was caused by an open
switch. Both engines were slightly
damaged, that of the Southern being
derailed and partly turned over. The
accident caused some delay in sched-
ules.
1t is not known in what way the
switch happened to be open. 1t was
stated in a Waycross paper in the aft
ernoon that striking members of the
Maintenance of Way employees are
thought to be responsible for the
trouble. The matter has not been in
vestigated in Savannah as the acct
dent occurred on the first division and
is therefore out of the jurisdiction of
the officials stationed here.

ON INSURANCE POLICIES
CITY WILL GET REBATE.
Companies VIII Refund About $4,000
When Exchange Comes Down.

w F%fOOO
When Exchange Comes Down.
Because of the tearing down of the
City Exchange. the city government
will receive in rebates already paid
to fire insurance companies, between
81, 500 and $1,000.
1t was only recently that it occur
red to any of the city officials that
most of the insurance on the Exchange
would not expire for several years.
and the companies would return to
the city a portion of the premiums
that have already been paid.
The exchange is insured for $50, 900
and most of this insurance has two or
three years yet to run. The prem
iums in all instances have been paid
in full for the entire number of years
for which the various policies have
been issued.
In every case, where a policy has
not yet expired, some return will be
made to the city. In all, these amounts
will aggregate 1900 or $1,000, it is
estimated. The exact amount of
course. can not be foretold until an
estimate is made on each seperate pol
icy.
The insurance on the Exchange is
divided among a number of compa-
dates. Following is list of the poll
cies on file in the office of the Clerk
of Council together with the date of
expiration:
Aetna Insurance Company of Hart
ford. Conn, $4,000, expires Oct. II,
1905.
Fire Association of Philadelphia, ST.
500. Jan. II, 1906. ~.
The Continental Insurance Company,
$4,000, Jan. 1, 1905.
The Hartford Fire Insurance Com
pany, $1,000, Jan. II, 1905.
The Manchester Assurance Company.
$1,000, Jan. q, 1907.
The Hartford Fire Insurance Com
pany, $4,000, Dec. 20. 1907.
Springfield Fire and Marine Insurance
Company, Dec. 20, 1907.
AS the building is to be torn down.
and as insurance will in consequence
no longer be needed, the companies will
return to the city a sum equal to the
premiums on the time between the
expiration of the policies, and the date
the exchange is torn down. The alder
men are congratulating themselves on
this money that will be unexpectedly
paid into the city treasury,

Return to Bethesda.
Lemore Dickerson. the boy who ran
away from Bethesda, was yesterday
turned over to his sister by the police.
The boy is a son of the Dickerson now
held in Jail on the charge of having
murdered his wife.
Lemore was sent to Bethesda after
his mothers death, but he ran away
and was taken in charge by the police.
His sister called at the station house
and asked that she be allowed to take
him home. The police refused, unless
she secured an order from the presi-
dent of the Bethesda Home. The or
der was secured by the sister and the
boy was released. 1t is not the desire
of those in charge of Bethesda to
force boys to remain at the home.
Those who are there are perfectly
willing to remain. realizing that they
are given advantages that they would
not otherwise receive.
