DRUNKENNESS BELlED
CHARGE OF BURGLARY
Negro Was Able to Show That He

Negro Was Able to Show That He
Made an '1ntOxicated Mistake"
His ability to prove that he was
drunk when he was caught in a win
dow in a house on Minis street ear
ly yesterday morning, saved Andrew
Johnson, colored, from being compell-
ed to answer a charge of burglary in
the Superior Court.
An account of the arrest of John
son was given in the Morning News.
1t was believed when he was taken
in charge by Mounted Patrolman w.
H. Smith that the negro was about
to burglarize the house, when he was
discovered. The investigation by Re-
corder Myrick in Police Court, how
ever, developed a different condition
of affairs.
1t was shown that johnson lived in
the adjoining house and started for
home under the influence of liquor.
He got into the wrong house and made
noise enough to wake the inmates.
When they screamed the drunken ne
gro became frightened and jumped for
the nearest opening. This CHANGED
to be window and he became caught
in the sash. He was securely fastened
in the window when the uniformed
man answered the cries of the occu-
pants of the house. For getting drunk,
and because he occasioned so much ex-
element, Johnson was fined $40 or thir-
ty days by the Recorder.

Further Proofs of Supremacy.

Competition seems no barrier to
BUDWEISER. It's march goes on by
leaps and bounds. The past year shows
an increase of more than 20 per cent.
over the preceding year, bringing the
total sales of Budweiser lin bottles)
to 100, 4O2,5 500 bottles, and the total sales
for the past twenty-nine years, 1875
to 1908 inclusive, to lao, 402, 500 bottles.
BUDWEISER is the household bev-
erage of the American home, and its
claim to the title, king of Bottled
Beers" is established by the fact that,
although commanding the highest
price, its sales exceed those of all other
bottled beers combined. Anheuser-
Busch's other brands of beer are close
seconds to Budweiser.
Their total output in bulk for the
past year was 1,201,76 barrels
Another evidence of the supremacy
of Budweiser was given in the instance
of two of the finest and best appointed
cafes recently established, the Stewart
Cafe in Philadelphia and the TAFT Cafe
in San Francisco, where the most pop
ular beers of America entered into
competition, and the award went to
Budweiser.

BOND WAS SIGNED
FOR GASKIN'S RELEASE,
Young baltimore Man Who At

Young Baltimore Man Who At
tempted Suicide Is at Liberty.
L. S. Gaskin. the young man from
Baltimore, who attempted 10 commit
suicide after his examination in Police
Court on Friday morning, as to charges
of larceny after trust, preferred against
him by NJ. H. Meldrim, was released
from custody yesterday on bail, pend
ing the hearing before the grand jury.
His counsel. w. NJ. Hayward, Esq,
SAYS that he does not believe that the
grand jury will find a bill against the
young man, as the matter between Mel
drim and Gaskin was simply a ques-
ton OF partnership accounts. and no
demand had been made for a settle
ment before the charge of larceny was
lodged Gaskin regrets his attempt
to kill himself. and saws that the hor-
ror of his position caused him to tenn
porarily lose control of himself.
The prompt action of the physician
in stopping the flow of blood was, how
ever, all that saved him on that occa-
sion. The case has aroused some SYM
pathy, and the hope has been express
ed that he will be able to clear himself
of the serious charges, if the matter is
further pressed by the prosecutor.
Gaskin is bright and energetic. and
says that he will Immediately take up
the business in which he was engaged
when he was interrupted in such an
unexpected manner.

JOINT MANEUVERS
MAY BE ARRANGED
Military officer Would Like to See n
Day Set Apart for Them.


A prominent officer of the Savannah
militia, in discussing the parade and
review yesterday, said he thought it
an excellent thing that the various
branches of the service represented
here should have these joint parades
as often as possible and that it would
be Of the greatest benefit to all of them
if some day could be set apart Cor
joint maneuVers.
1t ought TO be possible. he said, pro-
vided some certain day be set apart,
to have not only the troops of Savan-
nah take part, but the other commands
of the nearby country districts as we'll.
In the case of the out-of-town cavalry
troops, he said, the commands could
ride to Savannah and probably would
want nothing more from the city than
that stable room and forage for their
horses be supplied, while in the case
of the infantry companies, it is more
than probable that a reduced rate could
be secured from the various railroads
over which they would have to travel
Should such a day be set apart, the
speaker thinks that it would benefit
not only the militia, but the whole city
for people from all the surrounding
country would be attracted to the city
on thet occasion of the maneuVers
and the business men would profit, in
the way of trade, by this influx of Wis
itors.

UNCLAIMED HORSE AN
ELEPHANT TO CITY
The Animal Refuses to Stand Ex-
cept While Eating.


cept While Eating.
An unclaimed horse which came in
to the possession of the city under
rather peculiar circumstances will be
sold to the highest bidder within the
next week, unless it's board is paid.
The horse refuses to stand except
when being fed and it has consumed
just S. work of food already. IN
der a city ordinance this is as much
as any single animal can eat on the
city without being sold, unless it
chances to be owned by the city.
There is an interesting story of a
horse trade behind the in1pounding of
the animal that refuses to stand when
not eating. The department of pub
lie works got the horse from the po-
lice and with 1t went a story. 1t
had been found by uniformed man
on West Broad street, and in the alb
sence of a claimant was taken to the
city lot and formally impounded.
1t was reported that the horse had
been sold by a dealer to a West Side
merchant for $685. and that when the
merchant discovered it's eccentricity he
wanted to call the trade off. He is
said to have taken the horse back to
the trader, and offered him IS to rub
out the transaction and begin over
again. But the trader coulunI see
it that way and the merchant left the
animal in front of his place. The horse
was not at all concerned as to whose
hands it should fall into and raised
no objection when the police took it
in charge.
Now that the horse has been in the
pound for ten days and has not been
claimed the director of public works
is authorized, by ordinance, to offer
Z of 10 q fG 70
however, in having an animal that
people won't fall over each other to
buy. The sale must be advertised for
five days, and when the horse does
go to the block it will have cost the
the city about $40 or $12. An offer of
so has already been made for it, but
the city wants to realize a larger sum.
The director OF public works says that
the horse is perfectly sound, but that
it will sit down when ii wants to.

YELLED THREAT

But Jail Officers Had Not Worried
over Statement of Prisoners.
Good night, Cap, cause you won't

This salutation from three husky
white men from Emanuel county,
brothers charged with burglary. caus-
ed the Jail officers to smile early yes
terday morning.
The men had been brought from
Swainsboro by Sheriff G. F. Flanders
and three deputies, and were turned
over to the Chatham county authorities
for safe keeping. 1t was alleged that
they had burglarized a store at SWANS
boro and that later they escaped from
the county jail at that place.
1t is not believed that it is possible
to break out of the Savannah Jail, and
for this reason prisoners are frequently
brought here from rural districts for
safekeeping. But it developed later
that the yelled threat made by the
alleged burglars was in reality no
threat at all. The men explained it
themselves.

ON THEATER STAGE
IN 81 SECONDS
FIREMEN BROKE RECORD.
VISITING FIRE CHIEF HELD
WATCH ON THE APPARATUS.

"Bob" GInss of Chemical Engine
from Central Fire station Made
Drive That Clipped Seven Seconds
from RecOrd-Fireman "DicI<"
Hearn on Stage with Hose 81 Sec
onds After Chief Harris Pushed
Alarm ButtOn-HOse Wagon and
Engine Close Behind the Chemi-
cnI-Other Tests Made.
In just So seconds after an alarm of
fire had been sounded from the Sa-
vannah Thedter yesterday afternoon a
line of hose from the chemical engine
at the Central Fire Station was on the
stage and the fremen were ready for
work.
A test was made at lis O'Clock and
a new record was established by Dri-
yer Bob" Glass, and the men who
man the chemical engine at the fire
station on Oglethorpe avenue. The
flremen were taken completely by sur
prise and were confident that there was
a fire at the theater.
In company with Fire Chief Mcguire
and Assistant Chief Mouro, Chief Har-
ris of the Tampa Fire Department,
went to the theater at l o'clock for the
purpose of making several tests. There
is a push button on the stage sound
ing an alarm in the Central Station. The
Tampa fire chief watch in hand, push
ed the button at lis and at 1:15:52
Fireman Dick" Hearn rushed through
the stage door, hose in hand.
All Records Broken.
Immediately behind the chemical
came the wagon and engine, and had
there been a fire several streams could
have been put on the building inside
of a minute. Chief Harris was sur
prised at the rapidity with which the
apparatus reached the scene. Chief
Mcguire and Assistant Chief Mouro
were both gratitied beyond expression.
The fastest time ever made before was
SO seconds. and Driver Glass could
hardly keep his seat when he learned
that seven seconds had been clipped
from the record.
The apparatus went down Oglethorpe
avenue to Drayton street and turned
into Hull. Before the wheels had stop
ped turning Fireman Hearn was run
ming up the steps at the stage door
with the hose in his hand. Not before
that there was no fire.
Tests Were satisfactory.
The chemical carries 200 feet of hose
and can throw a stream 100 feet. 1t
was evident to those who witnessed
the test that in case of fire there
would be practically no danger with
piece of apparatus on hand so soon
after the sounding of an alarm.
Other tests, on the whole satisfac-
tory, were made at the same time. The
theater hose was tested and water
was thrown on the Hull street side of
the building. The hose was found to
be in good condition and ready for
use. This hose is kept on the theater
stage ready for instant use. 1t was
found that even if a fire started in
the theater, whether in the scenery,
or under the stage, it could be ex-
tinguished Immediately; almost before
an audience could rise.

AUTOMOBILE ORDINANCE
WILL BE PASSED.
Effort VIII BE Made to Get IL in
shape for Council Tonight.

Effort VIII BE Made to Get II IN
shape for Council Tonight.
An effort will be made to introduce
at to-nights session of City Council
an ordinance requiring owners of au-
tomobiles to place numbers on their
machines and register with the clerk
of Council.
In his annual report the superin-
tendent of police advised the passage
of such an ordinance and It will be
adopted by Council. The ordinance has
not yet been drawn, but an effort will
be made to get it into shape before
Council convenes.
1t is probable that the owners of
machines will be allowed to secure
their own number. or to even paint
them on the back of their machines.
The size, however, will be stipulated,
and it will be necessary for every au-
tomobile owner to register with the
clerk of Council and be assigned a
number. 1t will be specified that ev-
cry machine must be so numbered and
registered by March l.
1t is hardly probable that anything
Will be done about the CASTOR street
paving case. The city attorney is in
formed that Capt Cunningham is in
disposed, and that Mr.. Lee Roy N.Y.
ers will not be in the city. These gen.
tlemen, it was expected, would lay
their claims for asphalt paving before
the aldermen and were TO have been
present at the last regular meeting of
the board.
The ordinance for the opening of
streets in the territory in the extend
ed limits will be read. 1t covers about
twenty-five pages and the reading of
it viii occupy big part of the time
that Council viii be in session. The
provisions of this ordinance, showing
the streets to be opened, and the nam
ing of the wards that will be created,
have already been given in the Morn
ing News.
The GWinnett street subway contract
will not be ratified at the meeting. 4
map that must be attached to the con-
tract has not been completed, but it
is expected that the contract will be
ready for the approval of the alder
men at the next meeting. The provi
sions of the contract between the city,
the Savannah Electric Company and
the Atlantic Coast Line has already
been given in the Morning News.

Mollie Melton, who was pardoned
some days ago by the President, is still

Assistant Attorney General Hoyty, from
Washington, stating that a pardon had
been signed by the President, but Jailer
Seyden refused TO release her under

Streets viii Be Given Attention
within Next Few Days.
Savannah's asphalt streets are really
going to be repaired within the next
few DAYS.
This rather startling information
comes from the department of public
works, and is authentic. A represen-
tative of the asphalt concern with
which the city has a contract has al
ready arrived. and within very few
days a repair gang will be at work on
the streets.
The company was notified that the
streets are once more badly in need
of attention and with unprecedented
promptness a man was sent to SaVan-
nah, and it was announced that the
necessary repairs would be made i'm
mediately. The announcement that
the repair gang will get busy very
shortly will be pleasant news to auto
mobile drivers and bicycle riders, as
well as to those who object to having
their buggies Jared.
