Patrolman Collins was detailed for the
work.
The dog was in an alley adjacent to

move. and with a vicious bound,
charged on the uniformed man. who
quickly lowered the window, and just

Mr.. r. C. Foster is back from a trip
North which was made in the interest
of the Savannah Coaling Company, and
he returns more impressed than ever
with the excellent promise that Sa-

coaling plants. The one that he will
erect here will be, he says. the equal
of any Of them, so far as being up-to
date, and having the best of machinery
is concerned. Its capacity will be from
LOCO to $500 tons of coal a day.

The ordinance for the paving of Thir-
ty-first street from Lincoln to Price,
which was introduced by Alderman Da-
want two weeks ago. was tabled in
Council last night. Alderman Davant
was not present.
When the ordinance had been read
for the second time and Was about 20
be put upon it's passage, a motion was
rlade to lay II or the table. City At
tolney Garrard and Director of Public
Works Gadsden Immediately began a
search for an amendment that should
have been there, but could not be
found.
1t had been framed up to amend the
ordinance, as was announced IN the
Morning News some time ago, but as
the amendment could not oe located,
the motion to table was made The
search for the amendment was fruit
less, and motion t. table was passed

so as to pave the. street from Lincoln
only to Hahersham, instead ,.f Price.

PUBLIC BATH HOUSE
HAS BEEN SUGGESTED.
But Mayor Myers Does Not Approve
of the Plan.

nut mayor Myers DOCS Not ApPEC'C
of the Plan.
A public bath house at one of the
city's wharves has been suggested, but
Mayor Myers does not approve of the
plan.
Those who made the suggestion think
that it would be of great benefit to the
poor, who cannot afford to go to the
resorts and rent bathing suits, but the
Mayor cannot see it that way.
Il think it would be entirely unnec-
essary," said Mayor Myers yesterday,
when asked about the matter. There
are so many suburban bathing places
about the city, where a person can
ride for cents, that I do not see the
necessity of establishing a public bath
in town. Savannah is not like other
cities. There is not the same neces-
sity here as elsewhere; we have so
many places where the public can go.
Besides, the river is too narrow,
and it would be too public"
There has been some question as to
whether it would be healthy to battle
in the river during the summer
months, the only time, of course, that
the bathing could be INDUCED in. DR..
w. F. Drummer, the city health officer,
dispels all doubt on that subject. how
ever,
at would be as healthy as bathing
anywhere else" he said.
1T might not be healthy" he added.
with smile, ITO bath there like l
used to do when I was a boy-go in
early in the morning and stay all day."

ence of Clerk Of Council j. Robert

of the fact that Mr.. Dreamer was

cred that the supposed burglar was
Mr.. Dreamer himself.

get the zeal of the police in considera-
t!on of the fact that 1t was not a zeal

COAST LINE MAKES
HANDSOME GIFT
To Father of Man Who Was Killed
for His Fidelity.

At the meeting Of the board of direc-
tors of the Atlantic Coast Line in New
York last Thursday it was decided to
award $1,000 to the father of young
Murray, the section master who was
killed near Savannah during the track
mems strike. Murray refused to join
the strikers and remained at his work
His refusal to join them is believed
to have been the cause of his murder.
Young Murray had taken the place of
his father, "a veteran employee of the
road, who was forced to give up his
work on account of old age. His son
was his only support.
The Coast Lines gift of $4,000 is a
very handsome thing to do. 1t will
amply provide for the old employee in
his last days.
The directors also ordered the con-
struction of seventeen miles of double
trackage in Virginia, North Carolina
and Florida. The regular dividend will
be paid in July.
