EXTENDING ITS LINES.

Georgia Telephone Company Carry
ing Its COnduits Further West.
The Georgia Telephone Company will
soon begin an extension of its under
ground conduit and overhead cable
lines west of the CITY. The material
has been ordered and is now on it's
way to Savannah for the extension
of the Bay street conduit west of West
Broad street to Farm, and for a 200
wire overhead cable from there to the
second crossing of the Central of Geor-
gia Railway on the Bay street extern
sion.
The work of laying the conduit and
stringing the cable will begin as soon
as the material arrives. The compile
ton of the extension will give a great
ly improved service to the rapidly de-
veloping manufacturing section west
of the city. The company already has
single wires as far out as the Hermit
age, but the conduits and cable will
add greatly to it's facility for handling
business.
The company is now extending its
Barnard street cable south from
Gwinnett lane to Thirty-seventh street.
This will be finished in a short time
and will give the southwestern section
of the city a greatly improved service.
The company has a conduit ON Aber-
corn street carrying cables as far south
as Anderson lane. From there a cable
runs to Fortieth street. The new
Barnard street cable will carry 40
wires.
With these improvements completed
the Georgia company will have an am
pie and complete service extending to
all sections of the city and it's sub
burbs

NOT IN JURISDICTION
OF JUSTICE COURTS
RuIing of Justice Bevans in Posses
sorry Warrant Case.

Quite an interesting decision was
rendered yesterday when Justice Bev-
ans decided that a justice has no
jurisdiction to try a possessory war
rant case.
The town Of Thunderbolt was suing
Mr.. Henry Ambos for the recovery of
books that were in his keeping while
treasurer of the town. Mr.. Ambos on
being removed from office by the
Mayor and Council, refused to give up
the books, with the result that a pos
sessory warrant was sworn out
For years the justice courts have
been trying these cases, but Mr.. w.
b. Stubs, representing the defendant,
presented a motion ito dismiss the
case on the grounds that such a case
is not in the jurisdiction of a justice
court.
Justice Bevans referred to the Geor-
gia statute and constitution and found
that while the statute gave him the
right to try the case, the constitution
did not, and the authority in the stat
ute confiicted with the rulings of the
constitution. He therefore dismissed
the case.

INDICTMENT FOR
TAX DELINQUENTS
If SPECIFIC TAXES NOT PAID
BY TOMORROW NOON GRAND JURY
WILL INDICT ALL IN ARREARS. :

Offense Is n MisdemeanOr Under
Georgia Laws-LiquOr Dealers the
Chief Observation-Disclosures Men
ON Delinquent List-Action of the
Grand Jury Made Necessary by
the Failure of other Means to En-
force the Payment of Specific
Taxes.
Unless the specific taxes levied by
the state have been paid to the county
tax collector before tomorrow noon,
a. number of Savannah merchants and
professional men will be indicted by
the Superior Court grand jury. This
action was decided on yesterday.
The attention of the grand jurors
was called to the fact that despite re-
peated efforts by the sheriff and his
deputies, and threats to levy on their
places of business. several merchants
and number of professional men had
put off the payment of special state
taxes from year to year. In many
cases taxes are owing for a long peri
cd. though the majority owe for only
one or two years.
Attention was called to the fact that
under the Georgia laws it is a misde-
meanor to do business liable to tax
without having paid the tax. The
practices that are in vogue make a
levy by the sheriff, in many instances
useless. and it was decided by the
grand jury to bring the delinquents be-
fore the court. If indictments are
found the proof can be easily pro-
duced, as the books of the tax collec-
tor are sufficient evidence.
There is a general dissemination to
indiot for this offense, but the grand
jurors feel some action is necessary.
1t was decided that the matter should
be allowed to hang over until the next
meeting, which has been called for to-
morrow. At that time all delinquents
will be indicted. AS far as can be
learned the principal offenders are the
liquor dealers.
During the session of the grand jury
its attention was called to the operation
of policy shop in Congress lane. An
order was sent to the sheriff and his
deputies to arrest any one found in
the place. A few minutes later the
deputies returned with two negroes
and a lot of policy paraphernalia.
Robert Williams, colored, was held
on a charge of playing policy. George
Young, colored, was held for writing
policy. The men were lodged in Jail,
but were later released on bond, pend
ing the action of the grand jury at
its next meeting.
Willie Bell, alias Lucien Howard, was
indicted for burglary. Bell is charged
with burglarizing the store of Max
Sutker.
Frank Bryant was indicted on two
charges of larceny after trust. In one
case the prosecutor is ]. H. Whitmore,
who entrusted him with a pair of
trousers to be mended and pressed. In
the other case A. Johnson is prosecu-
tor, alleging he entrusted him with an
overcoat to be dyed and pressed. The
total value of the two articles is fixed
at 50.
The general presentments of the
grand jury will be made tomorrow
afternoon. The reports of the various
committees have been submitted. and
the presentments will be drawn up to-
day.

ASK PERMISSION TO

complete the improvements contem-
plated 1t is probable it will be grant

AND ALDERMEN
HAD RACE PROBLEM.

Were Invited to Attend Negro Ma
sonic Ceremony This Afternoon.
The Mayor and Aldermen were up
against the race problem last night,
when an invitation from the Masonic
Building Association. colored, was
read, inviting the officials to be present
at the laying of the corner stone of
their Masonic Temple this afternoon.
After considerable delay the invita-
ton was accepted with thanks, and
Mayor Myers instructed the clerk of
Council to notify the secretary of the
association that ANY of the aldermen
who did not have previous engage
ments would be glad to attend" All
of them have engagements, however.
The invitation to the city officials
was as follows:
You are most respectfully and cor
daily invited to be present at the GER
emory Of the corner stone laying of
the Masonic Temple. now in course of
erection on Gwinnett street, west.
The ceremony will take place on
Thursday afternoon. Nov. "a. 1904.
"Fraternally submitted by unani-
nous vote of the Masonic Building As
ISOLATION"
When the invitation was read there
was painful silence for a time. and
then Mayor Myers suggested it should
be acted upon. Alderman Dixon
moved to refer it to the Committee
of the Whole, but the Mayor said such
a motion could not be considered, and
paid no attention to it. Alderman Oil
yer said he would be glad to accept
the invitation. but he had a previous
engagement After some delay the
NTc.Nv xs~ffh -
made. put the question as to accept
ing it, The vote for acceptance was
not very strong but no one voted
against it. The Mayor declared it car
ried and instructed the clerk to notify
the association.

CUMBERLAND MAKING
HEADWAY ON KNOLL
Removing from 5000 to 1000 Cubic
Yards Each Day.

Removing from 5000 to 1000 Cubic
Yards Each Day.
The big sea-going suction dredge
Cumberland is making much Roadway
in the work of removing Tybee Knoll
The reports that are sent in to Col.
James B. Quinn. division chief of U.
S. Engineers, show that the dredge
is removing from 1900 to 1000
cubic yards of earth each day. Barring
accidents, if this keeps up. within
few weeks the channel at that point
will be in first class condition.
Col. Quinn is having the channel
dredged very deep and narrow, but
straight. The limited time during
which the Cumberland will be under
his control makes it impossible for
the entire knoll to be removed, or for
the channel to be made of great
width The object in making the
channel deep and narrow is to secure
depth which will not shoal again
before the special dredge for this dis
trict arrives. The fact that the chan
mel will be perfectly straight will also
make it of easy passage to vessels
The Savannah dredge is now more
than so per cent. completed and within a
comparatively short time will be
ready for work. The knoll can then
be removed entirely and shoaling can
be done away with as rapidly as it
takes place. When the new dredge
reaches here it will also be used on
Tybee bar.
Conditions are such at the bar that
work can be done there only during
the most favorable weather. The
dredge will work on the bar during
fair, calm weather. and during rough
weather will slip back to the knoll
and work. In this way no time will
be lost in the reduction of both of
the instructions to navigation.
