Savannah, Ga, June 10, 1904 .-Messrs.
Harry & Apple. managers, the Massa-

making out the papers, and there has
been no delay on the part of the com
pany in forwarding their check which,
it seems to me, is in hand as quick as
the mail could bring it. 1 also wish
TO say that since Mr.. Schroder's death,
I am brought to better realization of
the value and benefit of life insurance,
and only wish that l had understood
and appreciated the advantages of this
great benefactor earlier Again thank
ing you, beg to remain, yours turly

safe way to provide against all con-
tingencies. Better be sure than sorry.

GAVE WIFE HIS FARM
TO AVOID ALIM0N
Pittman Claims He Gave Her All He
Ovned.

OvvneSI.
Claiming that he had already given
his wife all that he owned in the world,
Edward NJ. Pittman yesterday asked
the Superior Court not to grant her
temporary alimony.
This the court did, with the proviso
that the circumstances did not chang g
later during the pending of the suit.
The costs of the action, however, were
placed on the defendant.
Action for divorce and alimony was
brought against Pittman by his wife,
Lizzie Pittman. In his answer Pittman
admits that he and his wife could not
agree. and that several times he was
compelled to assert his authority"
All of these troubles he blames on her
high temper"
Then taking up the alimony petition,
the answer makes some rather unusual
allegations. 1t is claimed that, when
the couple agreed to disagree, the hus-
band gave to the wife all of his prop
erty. This was given with the under
standing that for this consideration she
was not to bring suit for alimony
against him. The property consisted
of farm in the BLACK Ankle" dis
trict, together with the farming imple-
ments and live stock.
Everything, claims the defendant
was given to her, he retaining only
one bed. one mattress, two old quilts,
one sheet, two pillow cases, four plates,
two knives, l cup and two saucers. 4"
He claims that his only means of sup
port now is as a travelling painter, and
that he cannot get work. If the WON
an will return the farm to him, he says,
he will be able to make living and will
provide for her comfortably.

SLOT MACHINES HURT
TRADE OF DRUGGISTS.
That IL why II War Is Going to BE
Waged.

WRRed.
The druggists are in earnest in their
fight on the slot machines in the cigar
stores, and claim that such scheme
has greatly injured their cigar trade.
The druggists are unwilling that it
should appear that they are making
the fight as a retaliatory measure and
declare that the alleged threat OF
cigar store man to have the drug stores
closed on Sunday had nothing to do
with it,
Mr. T. l.. Anderson, who is secretary
of the Savannah Druggists Association
says that he was misunderstood IN dis
cussing the subject.
Il have been misunderstood in ref
erence TO the slot machine scheme or
games of chance now being operated
contrary to the law by certain saloons
and cigar stores in the CITY," said Mr..
Anderson. Il am quoted as having
said that the cigar stores had threaten
ed to have the drug stores closed on
Sunday, and the inference from this
was that the druggists were now re-
taliating Such is not the case at all.
We are on the aggressive and not on
the defensive.
TT was only after our intention of
d crusade against these machines had
become known to some of the operators
that threats were made 10 force us TO
close our doors on Sundays. Every
well-informed person knows that all
drug stores are compelled by law to
remain open at least a part OF each
Sunday.
lone reason for seeking a discon-
tinuance of these machines is because
they are operated contrary to the laws
and at the same time have been
ruinous TO our cigar business and af-
fects, though indirectly, our general
lines. Not only has it interferred TO
a marked degree with the druggists
trade, but doubtless has been felt by
every grocer who handles cigars and
tobacco in the city. We believe that
the sentiment Of the public is in our
favor.
Since the Introduction of the slot
machines by the cigar stores the to-
bacco trade of some of the druggists
has fallen off so per cent. Not only
is this true of the central drug stores,
but of those farther out. The men will
lay in a stock of cigars down town.
preferring to take chances on their
luck to buying when they get home"

STORM SIGNALS WERE
H0ISTED LAST NIGHT.
Disturbance in Northeast Gulf Is
Moving Northeastwnrd.


Moving Northenstwnrd.
At 10 o'clock last night northeast
storm signals were ordered up along
the Gulf coast from Mobile to Key
West and along the Atlantic coast from
Key West to Washington. A disturb
ance in the northeastern section of the
Gulf of Mexico is expected to move
northeasterly, causing high winds along
the coast.
Little is known regarding the char
acter of the disturbance, the central
Office forming it's predictions solely
upon the indications at stations along
the coast. These point to the conclu-
sion that the storm is moving toward
the northeast coast. All the winds are
northeasterly, and the barometers
along the Gulf indicate that the storm
is moving in a northeasterly direction.
Until the disturbances reaches land,
little can be definitely told regarding
Its character, though the present indi-
cations are that high northeast winds
Will be caused. The telegram from the
central Office at Washington to the
savannah bureau was sent out By
Frdnkenheld and read as follows:
Northeast storm warning at 10 p. m.
from Mobile, along the Gulf to Key
West and along the Atlantic coast from
Key West to Washington. Disturb
ance in the Northeast Gulf of Mexico,
with apparent northeastward move
ment. Increasing northeast winds in
dicated. Further advice Sunday morn
ing" Upon receipt of the telegram
the storm signals were hoisted above
the Weather Bureau and at the Morn
ing News.
Another shower passed over Savan-
nah yesterday afternoon, the rain be-
ginning at $50 p. m. The rainfall was
not nearly so heavy as on Thursday,
only .2S of an inch falling. Rain was
reported at the following stations, the
fall being light in all: Charleston, Nor
folk, Jacksonville, Jupiter, Key West,
Vicksburg, Galveston and Nashville.

corded yesterday for the first time this

KR0USK0FF COMPANY
INVOLUNTARY BANKRUPT.
New York Firms Force Millinery
Firm Into Bankruptcy.

FTm INTO bankruptcy
A petition. asking that the Krouskoff
Millinery Company be adjudged bank
rupt, was filed in the United States
Court yesterday by four New York
creditors.
Later in the day announcement was
made that Judge Speer, at Macon. had
appointed Nellie Walsh, of the firm of
Walsh & Myers as temporary
receivers. The motion for the ap-
pointment of a receiver was made by
Mr.. O'Connor of O'Connor, OByrDe
& Hartridge. in Macon.
The petitioners are William Carroll
& Co., J. G. Johnson & Co, Pelgram q
Meyer, and A. S. Rosenthal & Co, all
of New York. The money alleged to
be due them is on open accounts
for goods furnished the Savannah mil
liners. The amounts due each firm. as
set forth in the petition filed here, are
as follows:
To the firm of William Carroll &
Co, $3.50; to the firm of Johnson e.
Co, $399.7 to the firm of Pelgram e.
Meyer, $S0S.00 to the firm of Rosenthal
S63S. This brings the total indebted
ness, as set forth in the petition, up to
80, 4S5.77, though the petitioners state
that they have reason to believe that
other debts are owing.
AS further reason why the COM
pany should be adjudged bankrupt. it is
claimed that it committed an act of
bankruptcy in that on June 10, it ad-
mitted in writing its inability to paw
its debts and its willingness to be ad
judged bankrupt on those grounds.
The bond of the temporary receiver
was fixed by Judge Speer at $4,000 and
this will be given at once.
While the appointment of a woman
as receiver is unusual, the appointment
of Miss Walsh, from her business abil-
ity and experience, is regarded in bust
ness circles as a wise one.

There is no execution for taxes
against the Eagle Manufacturing Com
pany," Alderman John F. Glatigny,
one OF the largest stockholders in the
company, said yesterday.
The execution is for back taxes,
which were due when the property was
in the hands of another concern. The
Eagle company knew nothing about
this matter until recently. We had
reason to believe that no city taxes
were due.
we knew nothing about the taxes
ago" said President Wells in discuss
ing the matter Knowing that it had
been the policy of the city to foster
and encourage manufacturing enter
prises, We Immediately applied to have
the taxes RENTED. We had the mis-
fortune a few years ago to lose our
plant by fire. when we did not enjoy
any protection other than that afford
ed by ourselves.
Has Received no Benefits.
Though the fire resulted in a heavy
financial loss we Immediately built
larger and more expensive plant. We
now employ about a hundred hands.
We thought it no more than just and
right that the city should remit the
back taxes that we were ignorant of
having been levied on the property We
do not owe the taxes and we have en-
joyed none of the protection that the
payment of city taxes is supposed to
bring. All we want is justice, but If the
city insists we will pay the taxes.
I'VE own the property, too. We have
the deeds and the city hasn't. The
property was owned by the New York
Boat Oar Company, and they sold to
Rumbold & Bellinger. Later the Boat
Oar Company closed out Rumbold e.
Bellinger on executions for the pur-
chase money. The Georgia Manufac-
turing and Trading Company purchas-
ed the execution from the New York
Company. The Eagle Manufacturing
Company bought the execution in
1902"
The City Has no Deed.
Though the city twice bought the
property no deed was taken. The title
is therefore still in the name of the
Eagle Manufacturing Company Moth
ing was done yesterday in regard to
this particular case.
City Marshal Dreeson and his Office
force are still at work preparing a list
of the uncollected executions for the
Mayor The list will be completed
shortly 1t is thought the Mayor after
examining the list will issue instruc-
tions for the immediate collection of
all of the executions.
Those that are for taxes on real es-
tate can, of course, be collected or the
property sold. A number of them,
however, are for specific taxes and it
will be impossible to- collect some of
them.
