TURNED DOWN BY
THE GRAND JURY
WERE RETAIL MERCHANTS
WHO SOUGHT INDICTMENTS FOR
SUNDAY SELLING.

West Broad street fraternity Com
sidered by Grand Jury-AIleged
One Had Sold a Hat. One an Under
shirt, One shirt. and One n Neck
tie on the Sabbath-Jury COnsid-
cred Charges and Then Wrote 'NO
Bill" Across Indictment.
mo BILL" was written across the in
dictments of several Savannah mer-
chants wro We're before the grand
jury yesterday charged with Sunday
selling.
The merchants who were hauled up
were all West Broad street clothing
and dry goods dealers and the special
articles which they We're charged with
selling We're OF small value in each
case. The merchants were Isaac Lip
shutz, Louis Marsky, Hester Marcus
and b. Goldman and Joseph Malever
of Goldman & Malever.
The prosecutor is down on the in
dictment as Louis Knight, but back
of it all lies a little tale of more than
usual interest. The real prosecutors
are the larger retail merchants. This
fact made the mo bil' action of the
grand jury all the more interesting to
those who knew the inside facts.
sold Hats and shirts.
The cases themselves were of a triv-
ial nature, but as establishing pre-
cedent they may be very far-reaching.
Isaac Lipshutz was charged with sell
ing a hat, the sale not being made for
charity or other benevolent purpose"
Louis Marsky is said to- have sold u
necktie. Hester Marcus sold n under
shirt Goldman & Malever sold a shirt.
All OF the indictments were marked
across their face with the words, "By
special presentment. Across this were
the words mo bill" in every case. It
is the first attempt of the retail mer-
chants to stop Sunday selling IN the
vicinity of West Broad street, and the
movement was greeted with a rather
cold reception.
Have Been Many Complaints.
There have been many complaints
regarding the way things were being
conducted in different parts of the city,
and especial attention has been called
to the conditions existing on West
Broad street. 1t was said at a meet
ing of the retail merchants recently
IldI anything IndL COulQ De DOuSnL
on week days could be bought on Sun
days.
The larger merchants all close on
Saturday night, and remain closed
until Monday morning. Living
up to the letter of the law them
selves, they determined that others
should do so. even though not so in
clined. Accordingly the evidence
gathering began.
When the merchants mentioned
above were alleged to have been found
on the Sabbath day, and with no Char
liable purpose" in view but for pure
gain, disposing of neckties, under
shirts, shirts and hats, the other mer
chants decided to act. The evidence
was brought before the grand jurors.
They considered the cases and then
the foreman wrote the words mo bill, !"
equivalent in these instances to
nothing doing" What further action,
if any, will be taken by the retail
merchants is not known.
No bill was found in the case of
Amos Chisholm, charged with larceny
after trust.

Enormous CARGO,

Ocean Liner From the Orient Carries
Enormous Cargo.
The oriental liner Indrasamha has
arrived at Astoria, Oregon, after a run
OF "a days from Manila. She has on
board the big philippine exhibit for
the st. Louis exposition. 1t consists
of over 1000 tons Of Philippine pro-
ducts, old cannon and materials for
building a typical Philippine village
at st. Louis. 1t is a very interesting
item In the big liners cargo, not only
for its historical value, but on account
of its size. Owing to the great bulk
of the consignment it will require five
special trains OF about 80 cars each
AS soon as the steamship reaches port
the exhibit will be rushed aboard these
trains Immediately on arrival and
started eastward with as little delay
as possible.
The big item is not the only "spe
cial train" consignment on the liner
for she also has aboard the largest
consignment Of silk ever brought tt
this port. 1t is valued at nearly $1,000,
900 and for this reason will be given
precedence over the other freight and
sent out by special express trains.
