WILL POLLARD'S CASE
ASSIGNED FOR TO-DAY
Not Likely, However, That the Court
VIII Reach II.

VIII Reach IL.
Though the case of the state against
Will Pollard the negro desperate
charged with assault with intent to
murder, is assigned for trial to-day,
there is little likelihood that it will be
reached before tomorrow. There are
a number of cases preceding it on the
calendar in to-day's assignments and
several that went over from yester-
day.
The negro will be taken from the
jail to the sheriff's Office, however, in
order that he may be ready If the
state decides to go to trial He will
be handcuffed at the Jail and taken to
the Court House in the police patrol
wagon the officers doubling the sin
certify of his promise to raise no dis
turbance.
He will be taken to the sheriffs of
flee and there handcuffed to the bench.
When the case is called. Judge Cam
will probably be asked to allow the
officers to take the desperate into the
court handcuffed. Prominent criminal
lawyers have stated that the Judge
cannot grant this permission and that
Pollard must enter court as a free
man. In that case, despite his promise

he will be so guarded as TO make es-
cape impossible.
The case of the state against Nat
l. Evans, charged with assault with
intent to murder, is assigned for this
morning. The trial of this case will
probably occupy the greater part of
the day. 1t was claimed by the state
that Evans is the man that fired the
shots that wounded Rosenthal in the
shooting scrape in Doss' gambling
rooms last December.

IN SUPERIOR COURT.
Bonds of OdeII and Cad Bryan De-
cIared Forfeited.

Ae~A ~
Yesterday was an off day in the
Superior Court as far as convictions
were concerned. OF the six prisoners
who were placed on trial all were ac-
quilted by the trial juries.
A rule absolute was granted declar-
ing the bonds of Charles Odell and
Cad d. Bryan, Jr., forfeited, and the
sureties will now have to make good
the amounts. Each of the gamblers
was out on a $500 bond. Both skip
ped to avoid serving a Jail sentence.
Edward Pritchard, charged with
burglary, was declared by the jury to
be not guilty and was discharged.
Daniel Brooks, charged with raising
check to 81 was. also found not gull

Grayson w. Millen was found not
guilty of larceny after trust 1t was
charged that Millen, a collector for
the Singer Sewing Machine Company,
had Stolen $45 of the companys money.
Millen admitted that he was short
$45 in his accounts, but claimed it
was taken from him while he was
drunk. The evidence showed he had
offered to make good the loss at once,
but the company insisted on prosecu-
ton. Millen was defended by Col.

OPPOSE TAKING AWAY
OF VETERANS LICENSE.
Confederate Veterans simply Desire
to Regulate Abuses.

Confederate Veterans simply Desire
TO Regulate Abuses.
There is no desire on the part of the
Confederate veterans to do away al
together with the Confederate vet
Grams license.
In fact any move in that direction
as indicated by veterans who were APP
preached on the matter yesterday,
would be vigorously fought. Gen. p.
A. S. McGlashan, commander of the
Georgia Division, U. c. ", in speak
ing of the matter said:
Our only desire is to regulate the
wholesale abuse of the privileges. l
am unqualifiedly opposed to any at
tempt TO take away any of the privi-
leges of the old soldiers, or anything
that is for their benefit.
There undoubtedly are veterans who
need the licenses and why should they
be deprived of the privilege because
some INSCRIPTIONS ones abuse it.
am certain that every veteran in Geor-
gia will fight against repeating the law
granting the licenses.
The Confederate Veterans Associa-
tion is not taking up the city's fight in
this matter and l so informed Mr.
Lippman when he came to me about
to clear our skirts of any of the re-
suits of the present wholesale abuse
We are striking at no individual case
but are simply looking out for the good
name of the Confederate veterans
throughout the state.
The way to proceed, in my opinion
Is to require the licenses to be used by
the veterans themselves and to quasi
all attempts to dodge the law. l be.
1ipva in giving old cOldiarS n II the Y,rfxr
ileges possible and while l deeply re.
greet the abuses, l do not wish all t.
be deprived Of the privilege on account
of the acts of few"
AT the next meeting of the Confed
crate Veterans Association a forma
resolution will probably be passed de
nouncing the abuses. A memorial t
the General Assembly and the Mayo
and Aldermen of Savannah askin,

WON'T BE HARSH
ON VETERANS
CITY ONLY WANTS JUSTICE.
MAYOR SAYS CITY DESIRES TO
BREAK UP ABUSES.

Says There Is no Doubt the City
Attorney Is Correct in Declaring
whole system Unconstitutional.
Could He Broken Up, the Mayor
Says, but There Is no Desire to Do
This. as 1t Might Inhict Suffering
on Some Really Worthy Veterans.
THE city of Savannah has no de-
sire to be unnecessarily harsh in its
dealing with Confederate veterans"
This statement was made by Mayor
Myers yesterday morning. Indeed, it
is its desire to be just and generous to-
ward all who are deserving and who
are endeavoring to legitimately carry
on a small business with the aid of the
law allowing them free licenses.
Our object is to protect this class
from the injurious results of impOsi-
ton on the part of veterans who are
either not INDECENT, or who secure
license from the Ordinary for no other
purpose than to farm it out to men in
business, who are not veterans and en-
titled to no such consideration.
The City Is Fair.
Il have no doubt that, as the city
attorney says, the whole system is UNI
constitutional and could be broken up.
The city government, though, has no
desire to do this. as it might int1ict
suffering on some really worthy vet
Grams, who have not used the law for
the purpose of defrauding the city.
IAN we ask is that the improper use
of such certificates shall cease. 70
that end l am in favor of introducing
a system which Mayor Howell tells me
has worked effectively in Atlanta.
There the veteran who has a license
from the Ordinary is required to APP
pear before the city tax assessors or
Finance Committee, and make applica-
ton for permission to carry on bust
ness in the city under its provisions. A
full statement is required from him as
TO his condition financially, where the
business will be conducted, its char
acter. and so forth.
This statement is then investigated,
and if found correct the tax assessors
or Finance Committee issue him per-
mission to do business under the Ordi-
nary's certificate. There, / am advised,
the farming out of these certificates
is absolutely stopped, and this is what
we desire to have done here.
Farming Out system.
There can be no reason urged why
a veteran in Bulloch county should get
a certificate from the Ordinary there
and sell its use to some man in SaVan-
nah, not a veteran, for one-fourth to
one-half of the city license on this
mans business, and thus become par
~ to a fraud on the city government.
L am not favorably inclined toward
endeavoring to stop the free licenses
to veterans entirely, unless citizens in
sist on a test case being made. |
would much prefer that all worthy, in
digent veterans should have this priv
ilege if they will exercise it them
selves in a proper manner.
But / am decidedly in favor of rad
zeal steps to put an end to the gross
abuse of the law under which men,
not even citizens of the United States,
are sometimes found carrying on bust
ness under a certificate rented from a
veteran. But the whole subject will
no doubt receive careful consideration
by Council at an early date

SHOOTING FOLLOWED
AN ALLEGED INSULT.
Wade H. Ward shot Through the
Leg by ed" Payne.

Wade II. Ward shot Through the
Leg by ed" Payne.
Wade H. Ward was shot through the
calf of the right leg by Ed" Payne
early last night at No. sos Henry
street, west, where Ward resides.
The shooting was caused by remarks
that Payne alleges Ward had made
about his sister, Mrs. Agnes Sapp, of
No. 919 West Broad street.
Payne went to the place looking for
Ward, who was found on the front
porch. Payne asked him what he
meant By the remarks he had made
about his sister. and told him to come
on with him to the parties to whom
the remarks are said to have been
made. According to Payne, Ward ours
ed him and told him to wait us-
til he got his pistol. Ward told the
officers he said he did not want TO
have any trouble and started into the
house.
Payne fired as Ward was going in
the house. The bullet passed through
the calf of the leg. Payne walked
away and DR.. Benjamin Courshon was
summoned to look after the wounded
man. The police were Immediately no

to the scene. They passed Payne on
the way.
Payne met Deputy Sheriff Fogarty
and gave himself up. The deputy
sheriff took him to find a bondsman
and then carried him to police head
quarters. Justice Wickham signed his
bond for $500 to appear in Police Court
this morning.
Ward is not dangerously hurt. Only
last Saturday d week ago Ward was
arrested on a charge of cursing Mrs.
Sapp, the woman whom he is now al
legged to have made disparaging re-
marks about. He was fined $40 by the
Recorder at that time.
