GUARDS NEW HOME
IN GUARDS HALL
WILL BE OCCUPIED JUNE /.
WILL BE FITTED UP, THOUGH ONLY
FOR TEMPORARY OCCUPANCY.

Members of Battalion Expect to Sc
cure Quarters in ArmOry Proper
by OctOber-TOmOchi Indians
slave Buried Hatchet"-DispOsi-
tiOn for Two Organizations to
Reach AmicabIe Agreement No
ticenbIe-QuestiOn Now With EIks.
After June / the members of the Sa-
vannah Guards Battalion will have a
home where they can gather for social
purposes.
1t will be in what is now known as
the Guards Hall, which will be fitted
up for its new use at once, so that it
can be occupied at the earliest possible
moment.
The announcement to this effect was
made at the meeting of the battalion
last night by Maj. w. w. Williamson.
1t was received with the heartiest of
applause by the men, and the state
ment was again applauded when it
was made later in the evening by Maj
Williamson at the entertainment given
by him to the members of the bat
talon.
Figuring With HOmOchichis.
This arrangement though it will ill
long felt want, is but a temporary
one, as the Guards hope later to again
become inmates of the home, or at least
a part of the home that they originally
occupied for club purposes. Whether
they will do so will have been settled
by Oct. 1, or thereabouts. Though no
statement in regard to the matter was
made in the announcement of the oc-
cupancy of the hall, it is learned that
the Guards and the Tomochichi Club
are now very close to an arrangement
in regard to the Guards occupying the
third floor of the armory..
In discussing the matter one promi-
nent member of the Tomochichi Club
said that the Indians have buried the
Ratchet" and that it is now a ques-
| ton between the Guards and the Elks
as to which shall occupy the floor in
question. This statement is explained
by the fact that some time ago the
Tomochichi Club gave the Elks an OPP
ton on the quarters in question, an
option that the Elks accepted, though
| they were prevented from actually en-
tering upon possession by the suit that
| the Guards entered to prevent the sub
| letting of the quarters.
How EIlNs Figure in Deal.
1t may still be some little time be-
fore the matter is finally adjusted to
| the satisfaction of all parties, as the
Guards think that the question of the
| lease to the Elks is one that must be
settled by the Elks and the Tomo-
chichi Club, while the management OF
the club is of the opinion that if the
Guards want the quarters it is up to
| them" to get the Elks eliminated from
| the matter.
The Elks claim that they know only
| the TomOchichi Club in the matter
that they were given the opportunity
to secure the quarters, they are salts
| fed with the bargain made, and look
| to the club to deliver the goods"
Should an anicable arrangement be
made among the three parties to the
| issue it is probable that the present
| legal efforts to settle the right of oc-
| cupancy, now pending in the courts
will be withdrawn

MAY CONCERT TO END
MOST SUCCESSFUL YEAR
In the History of the Savannah
Music Club.

In the History of the Savannah
Music Club.
The Savannah Music Club after the
most successful season in its history,
will close it's work for this season with
the May concerts that are to be given
on the nights of the 18th and 18th.
These concerts will be marked by I'M

finales to the seasons record.
The clubs record has been most
gratifying to both it's officers and
members. In addition to the regular
semi monthly meetings that have been
held each month beginning with Octo-
Der, several special concerts have been
given and a number of well-known art
lists have been brought to the city.
Among these were Madame Fannie
Bloomfield Zeisler, pianist Mr.. Green
auer, cellist and Mr.. Julian Walker,
baritone.
The largely increased membership
has not only allowed a wide choice in
the selection of those who have taken
part in the programmes and conse-
quently a variety of selections that
has hitherto been impossible, but has
also placed the club financially on a
solid foundation, one that has enabled
it to meet all current expenses and
also to pay the greater part Of the debt
incurred for a new piano.
This gratifying showing has been
made possible only through the untir-
ing and intelligent efforts of it's Off
GERS, who are as follows:
President-T. Lloyd Owens
Vice President-Adolph Bundheimer.
Secretary-Mrs. N. ]. Ackermann.
