With Theft of Diamonds ms Wen
ms MOney-Husband Is still Held
an Accessory.
Her brain infamed by constant read
ing of trashy literature, Jane Lindsey,
the negro woman who robbed the Ches-
mutt home Saturday afternoon, ascribes
all of her ills to a little learning
The woman can read and write, and
last September commenced reading s.
cent detective stories, which she con-
tinued with avidity until she finally
conceived the idea of putting into prac-
tice some of the plans of robbery which
she had read.
In the presence of Supt Garfunkel
and Detectives Murphy and Wall, the
woman last night demonstrated how
she tied herself Saturday afternoon.
She was supplied with window cord,
identically the same as she had used
on herself, and the same piece of cur
tain for a gag She first tied the gag
around her mouth, and then securely
tied her ankles together and tied them
to a table leg.
She then demonstrated how she tied
her hands, fist passing the cord
around her arms just above the elbow
Then making a slip knot she tied her
right hand, slipped her left through the
moose pulled it taut, holding one end
OF the cord in her clinched hand.
When she had shown the officers
how she tied herself she declared her

The woman will be given a prelimi-

morning. She will also be charged
with stealing the diamonds, the fact of
her having moved them from upstairs
being sufficient to show intent.
While the police are by no means
positive now as to the guilt of the
woman's husband, he will be held as

METH0DISTS BACK

Rev. A. VI. williams Not Yet Ready
to Announce His Plans.
All of the Savannah Methodist min
listers have returned to their homes
and have taken up the regular work
of their charges for another year.
Rev. Guyton Fisher, the pastor who
succeeds Rev. A. M. Williams at
Trinity Methodist Church, has not vet
arrived at his new charge, and probably
will not be here until early next week.
The services at Trinity Church Sun
day will probably be conducted by
Rev. I. D. Ellis, presiding elder of
the district.
Rev. A. M. Williams, the retiring
pastor of Trinity. is not yet prepared
to announce his plans for the future.
He will probably remain in Savannah
until the early part of next week and
will then go to Valdosta, as announced
in the dispatches of the Morning
News.
When the announcement was made
that Rev. Mr.. Williams had been
placed on the supernumerary list many
questions were asked as to what his
relation now is to the conference
Ministers on the supernumerary list are
not in position to call upon the con-
ference for support, nor can demands
be made upon them for their time.
They are, however, eligible for con-
ference offices and have vote and
voice in the work of the conference.

Preliminary Work.

Committees Appointed to Take UP
Preliminary Work.
Preliminary steps looking towards eff
fecting an organization of the men who
volunteered for service in the Spanish
American War. were taken last night
at the Office of Mr.. W. /. Brown, in
the Board of Trade building. More
than a dozen of the eligibles were in
attendance and enthusiasm was shown
for the movement.
No definite steps were taken beyond
the appointment of committees. One
committee was appointed to draw up
a constitution and set of bylaws. 4
second committee, to work in conjunc-
ton with the first, will get in COM
munication with the national organiza-
ton, and correspond with the national
officers relative to Incorporating the Sa-
vannah organization into the body. The
next meeting of the eligibles will be
held one week from tonight.
AS soon as the local organization has
been completed steps will be taken
to organize similar bodies in Atlanta,
Augusta, Macon Columbus, and all
other Georgia towns and cities from
which troops were taken at the time
of the war. A combined effort will
then be made to bring the national
convention of the order, which meets
next spring, to Savannah. Those who
were in attendance at the first meet
ing were all enthusiastic and anxious
to see the movement pushed to a sue
cessful elimination.

RIVER STAGE BETTER
THAN SINCE AUGUST.
Regular Traffic Can Now BE Re-
sumed I'm Opinion of Rivermen.

Regular Traffic Can Now BE Re-
sumed I'm Opinion of Rivermen.
Rivermen are happy because of the
fact that the Savannah river stage
is once more at its normal condition.
The recent rains near the source
have caused a rise in the water, and
it is believed this will be maintained
during the entire winter. The reports
from Augusta show that a nine-foot
stage has been recorded there, a stage
higher than at any time since last
August.
The river traffic can now be carried
on without hindrance. Boats have
been running only irregularly during
the last four or five months. Thousands
OF bales of cotton are still lying at
the different freight stations waiting
to be taken up by the boats. The
larger river craft have already started
on their journeys and there is no fear
expressed that they will be held up
again owing to the low stream.
The railroad men are perhaps the
only ones who are not rejoicing be-
cause the river is again at it's normal
stage. During the last few months
nearly all of the freight. especially
that between Savannah and Augusta,
has been sent by rail. The revival. of
the river traffic means great proper
ton of 1t will be sent by water and
the railroads will therefore lose d great
er or less percentage of their profits.
1t could not be learned whether the
transportation companies intend put
ting on their extra boats. There is
a general belief, however, if there are
no indications of a decline in the near
future, that the extra boats will be put
into service. This would mean that
within short time the full complet-
ment of river merchants steamers will
be again at work between this city and
Augusta, condition that has not pre-
vailed since last spring.

PILOT MORTON CRAIG
ORDERED REINSTATED.
Jury Held His Resignation Had
Been Improperly Accepted.


Been Improperly Accepted.
The case of Morton A. Craig against
the Commissioners of Pilotage was
heard yesterday in the Superior Court.
In his petition Craig claimed he, dur
ing a visit to Savannah. had been
indiscreet" and became intoxicated
When he returned to the river he
was refused admittance to the pilot
house and advised to tender his resig-
nation as a pilot. This he did, hand
ing it to the secretary and treasurer
of the commission.
Later, on receipt of a petition signed
by thirteen of the fifteen pilots he re-
considered his action and ordered the
resignation withdrawn NotWith-
standing this fact it was acted upon
and accepted and his commission with
drawn. This action, he claims, was
illegal and asked the court to order
him reinstated. The case yesterday
was very interesting and much evil
dence was brought out as to the good
character of the appellant. The jury
returned a verdict in his favor and
Judge Cam signed a decree ordering
him reinstated.
Judge H. d. D. Twiggs represented
Craig, and Col William Garrard the
pilotage commission.
