former wardman. The cost to the city by the
reinstatement of these four men will amount to

VETERANS TRANSACT
ROUTINE BUSINESS.
Lnyfayette McLavvs Camp Held Well
Attended Meeting Last Night.

Lnyfayette McLaVvs Camp Held Well
Attended Meeting Last Night.
Lafayette McLaws Camp No sos,
United Confederate Veterans, held its
regular July meeting last night The
meeting was one of the largest in
point of attendance that the camp has
held in some time. Only matters of
general routine business were trans
acted.
Adjt A. K. Wilson and Lieutenant
Commander w. N. Arnold presented
resolutions on the death of the
former commander of the camp, Capt.
Columbus L. Chestnut. The resolu-
tons pay a high tribute to Capt.
Chesnutt's character as a soldier and
as a man, and express the feeling that
with him Confederate veterans every
where have lost true and loyal
friend. The resolutions were unani-
mously adopted.
The formal invitation from Rome
Camp No $685. United Confederate Vet
Grams, inviting the local camp to att
tend the state reunion at Rome in
September, was read and received. No
action will be taken on the invita-
ton until it has been ascertained just
how many of McLaws camp will att
tend the reunion.
A communication was read from the
adjutant of one of the Atlanta camps
stating that it was desired to present
Mrs. S. c. Gabbert, custodian of the
Confederate crosses of honor, with a
gold Maltese cross, inlaid with jew
els, as a token of the appreciation of
the veterans for her faithful service
to the order. The cross is to cost
not less than $500.
Announcement was made immedi-
ately after the reading of the letter
that the matter was to be taken I'D
at the state reunion in Rome. A mo-
ton was at once made that the COM
munication from the Atlanta camp be
received as information, and no action
taken until the last meeting preceding
the reunion.
Attention was called to the picnic
and outing to be given by the camp
to Tybee on Aug. 9. The proceeds are
to be used for swelling the fund for
caring for INDECENT Confederate vet
Grams. A number of veterans at the
meeting took tickets to sell among
their friends.
Three applications for membership
were received and referred to the
committee for a report at the next
meeting.

ARE SAVANNAH DOGS
ALL ABOUT TO DIE?
Many Deaths Since Notices About
Badges Were Issued.

Many Deaths Since Notices About
Badges Were Issued.
There must be an epidemic among
the dogs" said Clerk of Council j.
Robert Dreamer, yesterday.
When we took the dog census there
were more CANNES in the city than ever
before, but since the notices about the
badges have been out, more dogs have
died than l ever heard of before.
mot day passes that I am not noti-
fed of THE death of ten or twelve dogs
by bereaved owners. They don't seem
to understand that you have to pay
for dead dog just the same as for a
live one, that is, if it died this year.
Il sympathize with them all and tell
them to take out the badge and get
another dog to allay their sorrow. If
one owns a dog any time during the
year the badge must be taken out. But
l tell you if the death rate among the
dogs continues at the same pace as is
being reported at my office daily, the
muZzling ordinance will soon be a dead
issue"
One of the many cards which have
been sent out by Thomas Halligan,
who is officiating as dog clerk at pres
ent, was returned to the clerks Office
yesterday with a black border drawn
all around it and Dog. Dead" written
in large bold letters across the length

PROPOSITION WILL NOT
CATCH ANY COMPANIES.
Last Offer of War Department Not
Considered Favorable.

Last Offer of War Department Not
Considered Favorable.
From present indications the per-
MISSION secured by Senator Bacon
from the War Department to take ad-
ditional troops from Georgia. provided
they pay their own travelling expenses,
will not add any to Savannahs quota.
In the first place there are few men
of those left out who have not already
given up the idea of going, and in the
next place the expenses would be so
heavy that even these would probably
not care to go under the conditions
laid down.
However, if the state of Georgia
should pay the way of additional troops
il is likely that the First Regiment
would turn out two more companies,
as well as smaller squads to strength
en- other companies.
Lieut.. Col. w. l.. Grayson, of the
First Regiment, when asked regarding
the permission obtained, said:
Il do not think the inducements
offered by the United States govern
ment are sufficient to induce another
regiment to go. No other company
will likely go from Savannah to the
maneuvers unless the state furnishes
transportation. The government will
furnish substinence and will pay the
men, which will make the proposition
the same as that under which the two
regiments at present preparing for the
trip will CO."

FIRE CHIEF PLEADS
FOR VETERAN HORSES.

Four of the Old Horses Are to BE
Sold by City Next Monday.
Five of the old horses of the Savan-
nah fire department are to he sold
by the city next Monday at noon.
1T is a shame to sell those old vete-
rams" declared Fire Chief Mcguire,
yesterday. They have grown old in
the service of the city, and now to
turn them out to be beaten to death
by cab drivers is an outrage. Some
Of the horses have been in the de-
partment longer than most of the
men. We have a pension system for
the men, but we turn the horses over
to whoever wants them to be worked
to death.
Il think the city ought to take the
old fire horses and turn them over to
the streets and lanes department to
pull the carts. The work is easy and
it would be the very thing for the
old boys. The carts are not driven
fast and they have to stop every
block or so. I don't see why the
city doesn't do this. You know it
makes me mad to think of those old
horses being beaten around town pull
ing cabs. It's a shame that's what
it is.
There's old George, as fine a horse
as the department ever had. He is
the high stopper that pulls No. 3
truck. He is one of the best ami
mails l ever saw. He Is % years old
now, and the old fellow cannot stand
the work any longer. He has the
spirit yet and goes with his head in
the air, but he can't stand the pace
Bob G., named for Bob Glass, has
been in the department twelve years
and is a good horse, one of the chem
zeal engine horses.
"TOmmie and Billie, the No. en-
CINE horses, are also to be sold They
have pulled the engine for five years
and pulled No. for four years be-
fore that. There is no telling how
long before that they served in the
department. The only other horse to
be sold is Erin, a young one. He is
fine horse, but is too nervous for a
fire horse -
Erin, according to the fire chief is
suffering from nervous dyspepsia. The
ringing of the bells simply sets him
crazy and his whole nervous system
is out of order. A few weeks out of
the department, and he would be all
right, it is thought.

FIRST DOG CASES PUT
ON POLICE DOCKET.
Seventy-Five Down for Friday and
Many More Are to Follow.

SCfC"Ns IT I've DOWh AOE II HAuay anu
Many More Are TO Follow.
The first installment of the dog own
ers of the city. who have failed to
buy dog badges, were placed on the
Police Court docket yesterday. The
cases are set for Friday at which time
thirty cases against parties charged
with doing business without licenses,
will also be called.
Seventy-five of the dog cases have
been put on the docket and there are
several hundred more to follow from
time to time. About seventy-five will
be placed on the docket every week
until the entire list is cleared. 1t is
thought there are about 500 or 600 cases
to be made.
Already 1853 dog badges have been
purchased from the city this year, al
most as many as were bought during
the whole of last year. There were
1876 bought during 1908.
The number of badges that the city
viii sell this year will exceed, by sew
eral hundred. the number sold last
year. Most of those who are placed
on the docket will Immediately pur-
chase badges to avoid being fined in
Ponce Court. Those who don't buy
them will be fined and made to buy
their badges also.

WANT To SETTLE
LIPPMAN CASES
AN EFFORT HAS BEEN MADE.
RECORDER MYRICK HAS THE MAT
TER UNDER CONFEDERATION

Lewis Lippman Called on Mayor and
offered to Quit Ticket Brokers'
business if Fines Imposed in PO-
lice Court Were Remitted-MayOr
Would Like to See Cases Settled,
as He Says City's Only Object Was
TO Put Ticket Brokers Out of
Business.
An effort, which is approved by May
or Myers. is being made to settle the
cases against Lewis and Leonard
Lippman, who were recently fined in
Police Court for violating the ordi-
nance regulating the business of ticket
brokers in Savannah.
Mr.. Lewis Lippman called upon the
Mayor yesterday at noon and offered
to close up the business if the fines,
which have been imposed on him and
his son, are RENTED.
The Mayor said at once that this
would be agreeable to him, only he
thought the fines ought merely to be
suspended and not RENTED. 1t is a
matter for the Recorder, though, and
not the Mayor, as Mr.. Myers informed
Mr.. Lippman. Recorder Myrick was
seen later and is now considering the
matter He will decide some time to-
day after consulting with Col. Gar
rard, the city attorney.
Mayor willing to Compromise.
ALL the city wants is for the ticket
brokers' Office to go out of business,
Mayor Myers stated, and he thought it
would be good thing for all parties
if the settlement could be reached. The
Recorder, however would have TO
decide the Mayor he said. The only
thing that makes the Recorders deci-
sion the least bit doubtful is the
opinion recently delivered by Col. Gar
rard, under which one of the cases was
made.
He stated that the law exempting
Confederate veterans from paying GER
tain business licenses was unconstitu-
tional. The question was argued at
length in Police Court, and Recorder
Myrick sustained Col. Garrard In his
decision. 1t was announced then that
the case would be appealed. If there
is settlement. however, Col. Gar
rard's opinion will hardly be put to
the test for some little while.
The Recorder VIII Confer.
1t was of course known when the
opinion was delivered that it would be
contested should the city ever try to
put it into force. 1t was presumed
a case would he carried to the high
est court in the state that the opinion
might be ruled on. AS it stands now
it has only been passed on by one
court-Savannah's Police Court.
If it suits Col Garrard, the Re-
corder will agree to suspend sentence,
If the ticket brokers' Office is closed
at once. Otherwise it is not thought
he will, though the Mayor desires that
the cases take that course.
request was made to allow the
office to be kept open long enough to
sell the tickets on hand, but this will
not be granted, unless perchance they
are disposed of while the Recorder is
making up his mind.

The Fire Drill Question for Schools
VIII He Discussed.

Fire Chief Mcguire has received a
programme of the convention of the
international Association of Fire En-
gineers. which is to be held in Chatta-
nooga in September. Some interesting
papers are to be read and many topics
of interest will be discussed.
Among the free for all discussions
that are TO take place, at least one
topic has been selected that Fire Chief
Mcguire will be certain to take part i'm.
This concerns fire drills for school
children, one of Chief Maguires hob
bies. The subject as printed in the
programme is as follows:
Are special fire drills necessary to
the safety OF children in public schools,
orphan asylums and like institutions;
and what advantages. If any are to
be gained by the practice of such
drills?"
