MONEY TO MOVE
NEW COTTON CROP.
Half Million a Week is Being
Sent Out by Local Banks.

Half a Million a Week is Being
Sent Out by Local Banks.
Because of the opening of the cotton
season, Savannah banks are now send
ing into the country on an average of
half million dollars a week, the ship
ments being made in currency to the
country banks, to be used by them in
furnishing the planters with money to
pay for the picking and marketing of
the staple. This movement of money
from Savannah started week befoke
last and will last for some two or
three weeks more.
The money needed for these ship
ments is brought from New York,
where the Savannah banks, like many
other Southern banks, have large cred
its to their accounts. The movement
of money is now all from the large
cities to the country but this will last
but a short time, when the banks of
the large cities and those of the coun-
try will again assume a normal rela-
tionship.
In former years much of the money
used to move crops was furnished the
country merchants and the planters di-
rectly through the factors, but because
of the growth of banking facilities in
the smaller cities this custom is now
practically obsolete.

WOULD DIMINISH
THIEVERY HALF
BY MUNICIPAL PAWNSHIP.
j. w. HAHN EXPLAINS SYSTEM IN
FORCE IN HAMBURG GERMANY.

Close Up All Private PawnshOps and
Let City Open similar Institution
Thieves Would Not Dare Try to
Place Stolen Goods There as They
Would Almost Surely BE Caught.
Great encouragement to Commits
sion of Onence Given by Shops
Believes.
Municipal pawnshops as a remedy
for thievery Is the proposition of MIR.
j. W. Hahn, whose views on the sub
ject of immigration attracted consid-
cradle attention recentlv.
Statements in the newspa pers of the
number of robberies, and the fact
that a great portion OF petty thievery
is committed by negroes attracted the
attention of Mr.. Hahn to the subject.
While the proposition of municipal
pawnshop is a new one in this section.
Mr.. Hahn is very familiar with it's
operations in Hamburg, where it has
been in force for more than twelve
years.
Il claim nothing original" he said
in discussing the proposition yester-
day. 1T is practically copied from the
| plan in force in Hamburg, where 1t
has reduced thefts at least so per
cent to my own personal knowledge.
Abolish Private PawnshOps.
Stated briefly, the scheme is for the
city to abolish all private pawnshops
and open one of its own, where any
body can deposit valuables, provided
he or she came by them honestly In
order to insure this a detective in plain
clothes could stand by and listen to
the story. If there was anything sus-
picious the case could be Investigated.
Some pawnshops, even in Savannah,
1 am persuaded, will receive stolen
goods even though the shopkeepers
know that this is so. This places a
premium on theft as it furnishes an
easy way of getting stolen property
cashed.
IF there were no such places a mo-
ment's thought viii convince any one
that the great incentive to more than
half of the thefts would never occur.
Unless stolen property could be sold,
ii would be the hight of folly for a
negro, or a white man, to steal some
thing they could not consume them
selves. 1t would be absolutely value
less, and besides would furnish an easy
means of being found out.
Great PROFIT to City.
by charging a small sum, say, 20
per cent. per year, the city would net
a handsome sum. Pawnbrokers adj
vance only a small part of the value
of the articles, and even for this they
charge from 100 to 1000 per cent 1t
often happens, too, that honest people
find It necessary to pawn articles to
meet an emergency. Let there be a
place into which they are not ashamed
TO 20.
when the plan went into effect in
Hamburg 1t stopped stealing to an
enormous extent. Thieves will hardly
go to city pawnshop, knowing that
there is a description Of the stolen
property there. and that officers are on
the lookout for the man who offers II
for sale.
ct consider the pawnshops as bad
as the saloons and gambling houses, as
being incentives to thievery, and re-
peat my first statement that with a
municipal pawnshop only, stealing
would be reduced at least one-half by
that fact alone"

WHEN TO FIRE INTO
MOB IS DISCUSSED.
StatesborO Riot Makes War Depart
ment Order of Interest.

Statesboro Riot Makes War Depart
ment Order of Interest.
Since the Statesboro riot many peo-
pie have discussed the question of the
precise moment during rioting when it
is permissible to fire into a mob.
During the riots in Chicago in 1894
growing out of the Debs strike the
War Department issued to the soldiers
of the regular army on duty there the
following instructions:
Troops called into action against a
mob are governed by the general reg
ulations of the army military tactics
in respect to the manner in which they
shall act to accomplish the desired end.
1t is purely a tactical question in what
manner they shall use the weapons
with which they are armed-whether
by the fire of musketry and artillery,
or by the use of the bayonet. or bv
both, and at what stage of the opera
lions which or either mode of attack
shall be employed.
This tactical question must neces-
sarily be decided by the immediate
commander of the troops according to
his best judgment of the situation and
the authorized drill regulations. In
the flrst stage of an instruction law
less mobS are frequently comming-
led with great crowds of comparatively
innocent people drawn there by curl
osity and excitement, ignorant of the
great danger to which they are ex-
posed.
Under such circumstances the COM
handing officer should withhold the
flre of his troops if possible until time
ly warning has bene given to the in
nocent to separate themselves from
the guilty. Under no circumstances
are the troops to fire into a crowd
without the order of the commanding
officer, except that single sharpshoot-
ers selected by the commanding Off
GERS may shoot down individual riot
ers who have fired upon or thrown mis-
siles at the troops.
"As a general rule the bayonet alone
should be used against mixed crowds
in the first stages of a revolt, but as
soon as sufficient warning has been
given to enable the innocent to sep
arate themselves from the guilty the
action of the troops should be govern
ed solely by the tactical considerations
involved in the duty they are ordered
to perform
Friends of Capt. Hitch claim that his
orders to the troops before reaching
Statesboro were substantially similar
to the quotation given. 1t is the con-
tention of Capt. Hitch that the mo-
ment for firing had not arrived up to
the time he was surprised and thrown
down the stairway into the hands of
the mob by the sheriff's assistant

THEATER FIRE
DETAIL SELECTED
BY FIRE CHIEF MAGUIRE.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN
MEN TO PREVENT TROUBLE.

Chief Mcguire Has Appointed Two
Details, one for Matinee and One
for Night Performances, who win
He On Duty at the Theater Dur
ing the Coming SeasOn-HOuse
Will BE Thoroughly Examined by
the Firemen Before and After
Every Performance.
In addition to the asbestos curtain,
the fire escapes and the numerous ex-
it's that were placed in the Savannah
Theater during the summer months,
Fire Chief Mcguire has inaugurated a
bers of his department for the better
protection of the theater going public.
The men for the two details, matinee
and night, have already been selected
and have been given special instruc-
lions by Chief Mcguire himself.
1.-The Savannah Theater is now as
safe as any in the country" said the
fire chief yesterday, in speaking of
the matter. but am not going to
take any chances because of that. I
intend to make it absolutely impossi-
BILE for any theater disaster to occur
here. Not a single performance will
be started until my men has thorough
ly inspected the house. and they will
be on duty until after the show is
over so that if fire should start it
could be handled with ease. There will
be no possibility of a panic the way
we have arranged to meet every en1er-
gencv."
The Theater Details.
The following have been appointed
by the chief to attend all night per-
formances at the theater during the
coming season:
Assistant Foreman D. P. Murphy
Assistant Foreman J. O'Leary, Fire
man P. H. Moehrkle, Fireman T. For
garty.
The detail for the matinee perform
ances consists of the following:
Assistant Foreman j. ] Hearn, Fire
man r. J. Russell, Fireman ]. M.
Hanley, Fireman ]. C. Dobbin.
The details are instructed to prevent
smoking, or the striking of matches in
the theater, or on the stage, unless nee
essary for the scene in the play. When
the latter is the case. the fireman on
duty on the stage Is IcQulISu " oSc
that all matches, cigars or cigarettes
are put out Immediately after the scene
is over. The men are also instructed
to keep the aisles clear at all times.
Mcguire Has Planned 1t All.
After each performance the detail is
to make a thorough examination OF the
house. Before each play a similar ex-
animation is to be made. the exits all
being tried to see that they can be
thrown open instantly. Both details
are instructed to call upon the police
for aid, if necessary, to enforce the
rules that have been made.
Chief Mcguire has formulated a set
of rules for the two theater details,
and the men have been carefully in
structed. One of the firemen of each
detail will be stationed on the stage,
another in the orchestra, a third in
the rear Of the house, and the fourth
in the balcony. With these men con-
stantly on the lookout and the modern
appliances with which the house is
now equipped. there is no chance
whatever Of a fire making any head
way during a performance, no matter
how it should look at the start.

BISHOP KELLEY WILL

VIII Sail On the Lucania From

Will Sail On the Lucania From
Queenstown Next Sunday.
Upon the arrival of Rt. Rev. j.
Kelley, Bishop of Savannah, in the city
during the later part of the month,
he will be accorded a reception, prob
ably in the Catholic Library Hall.
Bishop Kelley has written that he
will sail on the Lucania from Queens
town next Sunday, and it is expected
he will arrive in New York about Sept.
Is, and in Savannah three days later.
Members Of his diocese have deter
mined to give him royal welcome
and arrangements for the reception
have been left in the hands of the
members of the Catholic Library Asso-
citation. The Bishop has been in Rome
and was granted an audience with his
holiness, Plus X.
The date of the proposed reception
can hardly be selected before the ar
rival of Bishop Kelley in New York
but the members of the association
have already begun figuring on the
details of the programme that will be

STORM WARNINGS.
Ocean MeteOrOIogy Through Wire
less TeIegraphy Transferred tn
the weather Bureau.

the Weather Bureau.
The first step in the direction of car
rying out the recommendations of the
board on wireless telegraphy was re-
Gently made by the transfer of ocean
neteorology from the Navy Depart
n1ent to the Weather Bureau under the
Agricultural Department.
Prof. Willis l.. Moore. chief of the
Weather Bureau. asserts that this
means wireless communication between
vessels of the merchant marine and the
navy and coastwise wireless stations
when such vessels are within 300 miles
of either coast of the United States.
Prof. Moore added:
This arrangement removes a ques-
ton which for many years has been a
disturbing factor in these two depart
ments, and leaves a result acceptable
to all. The result will be a much more
thorough forecast relating to storms
approaching from the seas. 1t is the
purpose of the government, through
the Navy Department, to establish at
least fifty stations on the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts. and I think there is no
doubt that nearly all commercial as
we'll as army and navy vessels will be
equipped with wireless apparatus with
in a few years"
THE Weather Bureau is greatly
handicapped in getting forecasts from
the Pacific coast owing to the small
number Of stations installed on the
coast and the few vessels equipped
with the wireless apparatus. Looking
into the near future l can see nearly
all the first-class coastwise vessels
equipped and constantly sending in
information as to weather conditions
at their respective points. The i'm
portance of this can be seen when IL
is realized that all the storms come
from the west, and as we will be able
to maintain communication 300 miles
at sea, which is about one days move
ment of marine storm, we can keep
at least on day ahead of the weather
on the coast
THE advantage will not be so great
on the Atlantic coast, except in the
treatment of the destructive tropical
storms which originate in the vicinity
of the West Indies. With the 300-mile
margin for communication we can
keep all coast points advised Of the
conditions prevailing at sea. We
will also be enabled to forecast any
direction and intensity of these storms.
and can issue warnings to ships at sea
many hours in advance of the gale.
At present the Weather Bureau,
through the Navy Department, is re-
ceiving daily observations from more
than 1000 ships. and with the increas-
ed facilities this number will be null
tiplied almost by itself"
