RAPID PROGRESS MADE
ON NEW CITY HALL
Building Is Now Going Up With
Gratifying Rapidity.

Building Is Now Going Up With
Gratifying Rapidity.
During the last two or three weeks
work on the City Hall has progressed
at more rapid rate than at any pre-
vious time since the building was
started. More than half of the Sec
ond story above Bay street is now up,
and the steel work for the central ro-
tunda is even higher.
Since the top of the first Bay street
story was reached, the work has been
much easier, as above that point lime
stone, instead of granite, is used. The
limestone is much easier to work, and
since the limestone point has been
reached the building has been going up
al a rapid rate.
The building is now assuming its fin
ished proportions, and it makes a
splendid showing. If it continues at
the same rate, the building will be
ready for the roof by the beginning
of the new year. Mayor Hyers and
the other city officials are congratu-
iating themselves on the selection of
the limestone for the upper stories, in
stead of brick, as was proposed.

DETECTIVES GET MAN
WITH BIG REWARD.
Thought to Be Murderer With $500
Reward on Head.

Thought to Be Murderer With $500
Reward on Head.
Believed to be wanted in South Car.
DINA for murder, Sam Brown. alias
J. B. Brown. is being held at the po-
lice station by Detectives Davis and
Stark for reward of $500, which was
offered jointly by relatives of the muir
dered man and the Governor of the
state. 7
Brown denies he is the man wanted,
though he exactly fits the description
which has BEEN sent broadcast over
the country, accompanied by the offer
OF the reward. 1.-THE arresting officers
are positive he is the right man, and
a telegram has been sent to the Caro-
lima authorities. notifying them of the
arrest. HLt 5
The murder for which Brown is al
legged to be wanted. was committed at
Meggetts, S. C. fgrhe date of the hom-
icide is not knewR here. ALLEN p.
Remington, a prominent citizens was
the man killed. His relatives at once
offered a rewardeof $500 for the capture
of Sam Brown. the negro who killed
him. The Governor of the state also
offered a rewarta of $500. According
to the advertisement. which the rela-
tives had issued. the $500 they offered
is now on deposit in South Carolina
bank.
Though Brown is now held on the
murder charge. he was arrested for
attempting to pass a worthless check.
The check is for $l4, drawn on a
Charleston bank and made payable to
J. B. Brown. He first attempted to
pass the check here some time ago, but
failed. He later mailed it to Charles
ton to a friend. but the friend also
failed The check was then returned
to Brown here. and yesterday he at
tempted to pass it on Max Sutlxer. The
| detectives. who have been tracing him
| from place to place for several days,
caught him in Sutker's place of bust
ness. Brown contends he thought the
check was good.

SAVANNAH WON'T GET
WHAT ATLANTA THINKS
Only Small Portion of Total Taxes
Will Come Here.


Will Come Here.
Neither Mayor Myers nor Mr.. j. H.
H. Osborne, the chairman of the
Board of City Tax Assessors, thinks
the city will get any of the taxes from
the Central Railroad case made by the
state any time soon.
The fact that the Georgia Railroad
case has been decided in favor of the
state by the highest court in the coun-
try will not keep the Central from
fighting it's case, these officials think.
But even if the state wins, and the
Central has to pay. Savannah will not
get taxes on the full amount,
$1,50000O, Mr.. Osborne says. The
amount will be apportioned among the
various counties through which the
railroad runs, he says, just as the reg
ular taxes have been collected here
tofore.
Savannah will get more than any
other one city, and Chatham county
will get more than any other one coun-
ty, but in proportion to the whole
amount Savannah will get very little,
about one-thirtieth or one-fortieth of
the total amount paid. Even taxes on
the amount of cash which the railroad
has on hand in Savannah is appor-
toned over the line in this way.

CLERK OF COUNCIL
TO BUY CITY SUPPLIES.
This Plan Will Probably BE Fol-
lowed for Several Months.

This Plan Will Probably BE Fol-
lowed for Several Months.
The office of city purchasing agent.
which was mentioned some time ago
in the Morning News, will not be Gre
ated until the officials move into the
City Hall, but, beginning Jan. 1. the
city supplies will probably all be
bought by the clerk of Council until
the City Hall is finished.
When the new building is occupied
the office of purchasing agent Will be
created. 1t will be his duty to buy
all the city supplies. He will have an
office and storage room in the City
Hall. and will issue the supplies to
the various departments upon applica-
ton, as they are needed.
Until this office is created, the clerk
Of Council will probably be the acting
purchasing agent though he will not
supply all of the things, as will be done
later The clerk of Council will prob
ably only buy stationery, pens, pen
ellis, ink, books and forms needed. A
list is now being prepared by Clerk
Creamer of the supplies of this char
acter that the city will need during the
coming year. Not only the supplies
that will be needed by his department.
but by all the departments is to be
made no.
1t has not yet been definitely decided
that the purchasing of these supplies
will be left with the clerk of Council,
but the fact that the list is being pre-
pared would indicate this plan will be
followed. The matter is now being
considered. Mayor Myers said yester-
day he had come to no conclusion on
the subject. 1t will probably be left
with the Mayor and the Finance Com
mittee to determine.

ADJUSTMENTS TO
PLAY GRAND JURY
THE WITNESSES SUBPoENAED.
SUPPOSED TO. HAVE BEEN TO
THUNDERBOLT SUNDAYS.

Rev. w. A. Nesbit ct al SubpOenaed
in Case Against John smith-Mr.
Nisbet Says Names of witnesses
He Furnished Are Those of Per-
sons He Has Reason to Believe
Have Seen the TObOggan working
ON the sabbath.
The Thunderbolt amusemgnts will
play to the grand jury, with the aid of
Rev. w. A. Nisbet ct al, tomorrow
afternoon.
Alleged gambling and Sunday liquor
selling in Savannah may be worked IN,
but the witnesses who were subpoe-
naed yesterday in the case of the state
against John Smith-Mr. Doe is now a
back number-are supposed to know
all about the turning of the merry-go-
round and the shooting of the toboggan
on the Sabbath.
Rev. Mr.. Nesbit himself furnished
the names of the real estate man, the
former grand juror, the two newspa-
per men, and his brother, and he did it
with the toboggan and the merry-go-
round in mind. 1t had been thought
by the public that Mr.. Nisbet, acting
for the Ministerial Association, had
discovered witnesses to alleged hap
penings that should not be in Savannah.
Such, however. is not the case, and
there We're several sighs of relief when
this fact became known.
No Reelection on Witnesses.
None of the gentlemen who have
been subpoenaed are supposed to have
gone against the gay and festive high
ball on a ay when there should be no
drinking. Neither are they suspected
of having watched the roulette ball
chase around the board, stumble over
twenty on the black" and finally find
refuge in the Single 0-It's the pea
green and nobody's there" The gen
tlemen who must face the grand
jurors are suspected of having seen
people shooting the toboggan or riding
the horses, not the live ones that
usually rest on Sunday, but those that
are a part of the merry go-round.
Not Pleased with Last Jury.
Mr.. Nisbet and the members of the
Ministerial Association were not
pleased with the conduct of the last
grand jury, that body failing to take
any action on the complaint. Some
of the members of the last grand jury
no objection in people visiting Thun-
derbolt Sunday afternoons for the in
nocent amusement provided for the
patrons of the Savannah Electric Com
pany. 1t was with the idea of having
some sort OF action taken enc way or
the other, that the names of five peo-
pie were furnished the present grand
jury.
"Of course I called attention to the
law against selling liquor on Sunday
and gambling" said Mr.. Nisbet. land
shall ask the grand jurors to look into
that matter. If gambling and Sunday
liquor selling are going on in Chatham
county, then there should be indict-
ments If an indictment is returned
for one part of the county it should be
returned for another. Personally
will be unable to tell the grand jury
any more than have written, but 1
| shall answer the subpoena and tell all
| know. The matter will then be with
| the grand jury, and I will have done
what regard as nay duty to my God. =

Charles P. Williams. the negro
charged with robbing the cash drawer
Of Wing Kee, a Chinaman. was re-
manded to the City Court by the Re-
corder yesterday morning on two
charges.
Both Kee and Jung Lee testified 10
catching Williams going into the
drawer. Money had been stolen from
the drawer twice before within verv
short time. Though there were no wit.
nesses to these former thefts, the fact
he was caught I'm the act, and also that

DISCUSS QUESTIONS
PERTINENT TO CAUSE.
All Others Barred i'm Meetings of
Sons of Veterans.

Sons of Veterans.
At the meeting last night of Francis
S. Barlow Camp, Sons of Confederate
Veterans, the following resolution
was passed, without dissenting vote:
Resolved, That this camp will not
discuss any questions not appertaining
to the War Between the States, or to
the Confederate cause. or to the well
fare of the camp, and that all such
other matters be considered Illegal and
out OF order" =
The resolution was offered in writing
by Comrade Chapeau and was at once
seconded by Comrade Worthington.
When the resolution was put to a vote
by Commandant Miller there was a
chorus of ayes. Not single vote was
cast against the passage of the reso-
luton.
On motion of Comrade Coney the
camp voted TO relieve Comrade Lam
dershine, custodian of the camp, of his
yearly dues and to furthermore pay
him the sum OF so cents per meeting,
as compensation for his services as
custodian. This, called forth consider
able argument and many cOunter-mo-
tions were made and substitutes Of
fered, but the motion was finally pass
ed. The chief reason for opposing the
motion seemed to be caused by the
uncertainty as to just what are the
duties of the custodian. A committee
consisting of Commandant Miller. Adjt
Chapeau and Comrade Harden was
appointed to define the duties of the
custodian. s
Comrade Harden, chairman of the
committee arranging for the New
Years ball, reported that the ball
would be held on the night of Monday,
Jan. 2. Tickets for the ball were dis
tributed among the members of the
camp for distribution.
Judge Henry McAlpin and DR.. A. A
Morrison were elected members of the
camp. The application of Mr.. Walter
J. Norman for membership in the body
was read for the first time and re-
ferred to the Membership Committee
Commandant Miller announced that
the librarian of the Soldiers Home
library is in need of books and stated
all who can give books should send the
volumes to him at once, and he would
send them to the Soldiers Home.
Adjournment was. then taken and
while refreshments were being served
the camp held an informal social ses-
sion. The meeting was largely at
tended and considerable enthusiasm
was shown. 4

FATHER ASKS COURT
FOR CUSTODY OF BOYS.
Habeas Corpus Proceedings Begun
in Superior Court.

A case of unusual character was in
stituted yesterday in the Superior
Court when w. M. Lenahan began ha-
beas corpus proceedings, asking that
the court order his wife to give him
the custody of their children. No di-
vorce proceedings have been begun,
though the husband and wife have
separated.
The petitioner sets forth he married
several years ago and that of the
union two children were born, Ed
ward Joseph Lenahan and Daniel w.
Lenahan. The older boy is years
and months; the younger is not yet
2 years of age.
A short time ago his wife left him
and took the children with her, he al
leges. Since that time, he claims. she
has refused to live with him or let him
live with her. Further than this she
has not only declined to give up the
children, but will not even let him
visit them. He makes affidavit that
he wishes the custody of the children
and that he is well able to maintain
and support them.
Judge Cam passed an order COM
manding the defendant to appear be-
fore him on Nov. % and show cause
why the prayer of the petitioner should
not be granted The petitioner is rep
resented by Twiggs & Oliver.
