CLAIMS JUDGMENT VOID,
AND ASKS FOR DAMAGES.
Case of ID. g. Owens VS.. YoungIove
& SippIe An Unusual One.

d SipDIe An Unusual One.
AS the result of a judgment secured
against D. G. owens as security on a
note. petition has bene filed in the
Superior Court by Mr.. owens against
Younglove & Sipple, seeking to have
the judgment rendered in the City
Court set aside and to recover 800 as
a penalty for the original proceedings.
The original note was for $3.50 and
was signed by Reuben Griffin as prin-
cipal and d. G. Owens as surety, and
was in favor of Younglove & Sipple.
In the petition filed by Mr.. owens it
is contended that the judgment is null
and void for the following reasons: The
cO-defendant Griffin was never served
in the terms of the law; the mortgage
on the real estate was made in Effing-
ham county and the Superior Court of
that county alone had cognizance of
the mortgage; the pleadings showed
that the note was not due until Dec Z,
1904 or 1905; the judgment does not fol-
low the pleadings.
For the reasons stated ii is asked
that the judgment be set aside as be-
ing null and void and that its enforce
ment be forever barred. Damages to
the extent of 800 are asked for the
institution of the proceedings.

STUDYING CONDITIONS
OF SLAVERY DAYS.
Prof. Phillips of University of Wis
cOnsin in Savannah.

For the purpose of studying condi-
tons that existed here during slavery
days, and to gather information con-
corning the purchasing of slaves. Prof
Uldrich B. Phillips of Madison, Wis.
instructor in history in the University
of Wisconsin, spent yesterday in Sa-
vannah
Prof Phillips, who is a native of
Georgia, is preparing an extended ar
ticle on the industrial South. He spent
the morning in the record rooms at
the Court House and in the afternoon
visited the Public Library. Prof. Phil
lips believes that the plantations of
the days before the Civil War are the
things for the South. and the estab-
fishing of such plantations will do more
to make the negro industrious than any
other one thing. Prof Phillips has
written a number of articles of inter-
est on this subject and has made a
close study of his theme. He will leave
this morning for Beaufort and will
later go to Charleston. He will go to
Washington before returning to the
University of Wisconsin, which opens
during the latter part of the month.

CHILD KILLED
BY TROLLEY CAR
FATHER WHIPPED MoToRMAN
HENRY ROsENBAUM. YEARS OF
AGE, CRUSHED TO DEATH.

Had Started Across the Street From
Father to Go to Mother and
stopped On the Tracks-MOtOr-
man j. c. Wright, Arrested On
Charge of Granddaughter and win
BE Given Herring Before the
RecOrder-AccideEt Occurred Or
BrOughtOn Street Near West
Broad.
Seeing his little 2-year-old son. Hen
ry, run over by a trolley car, Joseph
Rosenbaum, the father, attacked the
motorman and administered a. beating
yesterday morning before he could be
restrained. With one hand grasping
the motormans hair, he struck him
time and time again with the other.
The boy was run over on Brough-
ton street between West Broad and
Montgomery. He attempted to cross
the tracks in front of the car and was
knocked down and crushed. He died
a short time afterwards at the home
of his parents, No. 40 Broughton
street, west.
The parents of the child live just
across the street from Mr.. Rosen-
baum's place of business. The mother
had carried the child over to the store
and had recrossed the street, when the
little one started to follow her. The
car was approaching at the time and
the father started after the child. The
little boy stopped before reaching the
tracks and the father thought he was
safe.
Struck From Behind.
The child again started forward,
however, and the father shouted to
him. He stopped on the tracks and
turned his back towards the car, all
unconscious of the danger Almost i'm
mediately the car struck him and he
was knocked down face forward.
The body was horribly mashed.
Almost instantly the father of the
child attacked the motorman. 1t was
thought by spectators that he would
have killed the motorman had he not
been prevented. Patrolman McGrath
placed the motorman, ]. c. Wright,
under arrest, but bond was furnished
by the electric company and he was
released. He is charged with man
slaughter and will be given a hear
ing before the Recorder this morn
ing.
Not Killed Instantly.
The child was still alive when taken
from beneath the car. He was placed
in a buggy and hurriedly carried to
the drug store at West Broad and
Bryan streets, where Dr. W. E. Nor
ton soon arrived. After a hurried ex-
animation the physician informed the
parents that there was no chance for
the parents was pathetic.
After the child's wounds were dress
ed, he was carried in the police ambu-
lance to his parents home, where he
died shortly afterwards. The funeral
was held yesterday afternoon at
o'clock from the house, No. 40
Broughton street, west. The inter-
ment was in Laurel Grove.

WANTED LAUDANUM
AND WAS ARRESTED.
Otto Kirchner Said 1t Was All n
Joke and Was Released.

Otto Kirchner Said 1t Was All n
Joke and Was Released.
Attempting to purchase laudanum on
a wager with a friend, Otto Kirchner
was arrested last night, because he said
he wanted the drug to kill himself
with. AS soon as he was taken in
charge, he said it was all joke, and
was released after being carried to po-
lice headquarters, where he was ex-
amined by the desk sergeant.
The man went into Huff's Pharmacy
about 9 O'Clock and asked for some
laudanum. When asked what he want
ed with it, he replied:
Il want to kill myself"
We'll, you can't get it here" he
was told.
Il can get it somewhere else, them"
he answered. You might as well give
it to me. 1 am going to get it."
Thinking there would certainly be a
suicide, if the man were allowed his
liberty, a patrolman was called to take
him in charge. Kirchner was quick to
explain. He said he was talking with
a friend and bet him a quarter he
could buy the laudanum. 1t was all
joke, he said, and he had no idea
of killing himself.
He had just secured position at
the Union Bakery, he said, and had to
go to work at midnight. He could not
remember the name of the friend with
whom he bet, but otherwise the story
was apparently straight. telephone
message from the Union Bakery con-
firmed his statement that he had been
employed there during the afternoon.

ORDINANCE REQUIRING
AIR BRAKES ON CARS
Will he Introduced by Alderman
oliver, After investigation.


Because of the many street car acct
dents in Savannah recently, Alderman
f. NJ. Oliver says he intends to intro
duce an ordinance in Council requir-
ing all street cars to be equipped with
pneumatic air brakes. Many of the ac-
cidents. Mr.. Oliver thinks, are caused
by the mortormen being unable to stop
their cars quick enough. With air
brakes, he thinks this would be RENE
died
Mr.. oliver began the investigation of
car tenders some time ago, it will be
remembered, with a view to framing an
ordinance recurring the street cars
to be equipped with them. From all he
can learn on the subject he says he
does not think the tenders would do
much good. He has looked into the
matter very carefully. He has not
made up his mind fully to abandon
the fender ordinance, but he says it
is probable that he will.
Before drawing an ordinance i'm re-
gard to the brakes, he is going to in
Vestigate the subject thoroughly. 1t
will be some time before the ordinance
will be ready. Mr.. Oliver says he may
find that both the brakes and the
Tenders are needed. but he is inclined
now to believe that only the brakes
will be included in his ordinance.

ROAD BUILDING PROBLEM
THAT COUNTY FACES.
Would Never Do to Neglect Present
Roads for New Driveways.

Would Never Do to Neglect Present
Rondss for New Driveways.
It is not likely that a great deal
Will be done by the county in building
new roads during the coming year. The
policy of the County Commissioners
will be to keep in excellent shape the
splendid paved roads that have al
ready attracted so much attention.
The fact is overlooked that we must
keep the roads we have in first-class
condition" said a county official in
discussing the subject of road build
ing yesterday. 1T costs a great deal
of money to maintain the roads and
our means are limited.
1T would, of course, never do to ne
glect the roads we have for the pur-
pose of building new driveways. Bet
ter keep those we have in splendid
shape than to have many more new
roads and none of them in the shape
that would occasion favorable COM
ment. Chatham county prides itself
on its public roads, and the county
has done q great deal within the last
two or three years.
1.-TWO toll roads have been purchased
and opened to the public, as well as re-
surfaced If the commissioners should
attempt to do a great amount of road
building with the present facilities it
would mean that the old roads would
have to be neglected. 1t is the pur-
pose of the commissioners to see to it
that the present high standard of the
county roads is maintained"
