sented with a handsome gold watch.

Mr.. Clausen was abolished. The high
regard and esteem In which the retir-

voiced by Mr.. Denton in a few we'll
chosen remarks. The speaker stated
that the gift was not to be measured
by its mere monetary value, but rather
by the spirit which prompted It,
In accepting the watch Mr.. Clausen
was overcome by the testimonial of
the good will of the men, and STAN

Three Years Old.
The league was organized in Atlanta
three years ago. Last years conven-
ton was held in Macon. Writing OF
the league, Mayor Bailey of Griffin. the
secretary and treasurer. says:
The exchange of ideas and expert
ences at our two annual meetings have
caused a large saving in the eXpendi-
ture OF money in many cities. We are
working to bring about municipal own
ershlp of public utilities, a greater
uniformity of ordinances, better sani-
tary regulations and educating cities
to beautify their streets and parks, in
urging the proper laying off of streets
and sidewalks, and the planting of
trees, etc. No city is so large, or
town so small. that it will not reap a
benefit through membership"
The annual fees for each municipal
ity belonging to the league are 81 for
each 1000 inhabitants, or fraction
thereof though no town is allowed to
pay less than $2.. and no city is made
to pay more than S25. Extraordinary
efforts have been made this year by
the president, the secretary and Mayor
Myers to get a number of new towns to
join the league. All three of these Of
ticials have written to the Mayors of
almost every town in Georgia. They
feel that every incorporated town in
the state should be a member of the
league The membership is increasing
some now. and it is thought many of
the towns will join during the meeting

GRAND JURY FOUND
MANY INDICTMENTS

Edward Paine, and Percy Young
for Assault With Intent TO Murder.
The Superior Court grand jury,
which was in session yesterday morn
ing, besides indicting D. E. Currie for
kidnapping the Creighton girl, found
a number of indictments in other
cases.
Edward Paine was indicted for as
sault with intent to murder. The al
legged murderous assault is said to
have been the outgrowth of a remark
made against the character of a sister
of Paine. Almost Immediately after
the alleged remark Paine drew a re-
volver and fired, the ball striking the
man in the leg and inflicting a bad
wound. Paine was arrested and bound
over to the Superior Court by Recorder
Myrick. The case is assigned for trial
on Aug. 8.
Percy Young was indicted for as
sault with intent to commit murder
on Kollock Helmy. The details Of this
shooting are still fresh in the public
mind owing to it's recent occurrence.
Helmy who is a deputy sheriff from
a neighboring county, was driving
along in buggy near Lincoln Park,
when he was attacked by Young and
wounded by a shot from his revolver
The case is assigned for trial on Aug.
9.
The three indictments above are the
most important of the seven returned.
Besides these the following true bills
were found:
Fred Smith, colored, attempted
criminal assault on Ernestine Chap
man. The case is set for trial on Aug.
g.
Annie Green, larceny after trust. The
woman is accused of appropriating to
her own use the proceeds from a ma
chine which had been entrusted to
her by the Singer Sewing Machine
Company. The case will be tried on
Aug. s.
Wolf Herman was indicted for lar
ceny from the house and will be given
trial in the Superior Court on Aug
8. 1t is alleged that he stole the sum
of S133.75.
George Small was indicted for lar
ceny after trust. The indictment Gre
ated considerable amusement when 1t
was learned that the amount stolen
was only 81, the sum given Small to
pay debt of the prosecutor, but
which he appropriated to his own use.
Besides these new cases which have
been assigned for trial next week,
there are a number of minor cases
pending from the July criminal week.
Among them are the cases against
John Rahilly, charged with assault
and battery of an old negro woman
and with destruction of her property.
There are a number of saloonists to
be tried for Sunday selling.

BRAVE FIREMAN KAHN.

Dedicated to the hero fireman, NJ. f.
Kahn Of the Savannah FIRE department,
who gave his life in trying to save
others at the Slater fire. July %, 1904:
BY Engineer T. V. Ponder.
Twas a balmy July evening, the stars
shone clear and bright,
A fireman kissed his babies and wife
a fond good night.
He was returning TO his station. for
his duty called him there,
And thinking OF his happy home, his
heart was filled with cheer.
He little thought that ere the sun
would issue In the morn
His body, crushed and mangled,
would to that home be borne:
But the dread alarm was sounded;
there was human life to save,
And Kahn was ever ready any dam
ger for to brave.
He tried TO mount the ladder when he
heard that piteous call.
And like many a noble fireman, was
crushed By a falling wall.
His comrades rushed to help him, but
his spark Of life had fed.
In answering his call TO duty our
comrade, Kahn, was dead.
And now HIS wife and babies are left
alone TO mourn
For a kind and loving father the
provider Of their home.
He was indeed a hero, who fought To-
save, not kill.
oh, Cod, protect his wife and babies
from every care ana III.

MBlEM WON.

There was some lively racing at the
Edgewood Yacht club piers yesterday
afternoon and In the best race OF the day
the 30-footer Mblem won the second race
Of the series for the Possner cup.
There was a strong breeze blowing and
kicking up somewhat OF a sea. This
caused a strain which parted the head
stays OF both the Elizabeth and the Clara
so that they had TO withdraw. At the
time OF the accidents the former boat
was in second place. She started again
and finally ended in third place.
The race was scheduled for Mblem from
the start. for she showed superiority 10
the other craft almost from the start
The preparatory gun was fred and the
blue peter hoisted at 2:l5 p. m, while
the starting gun came at 2;25. All FIVE
OF the boats played for position for
minute before the gun. the Elizabeth cut
ting In under the lee OF Wonderer Ill just
TO the windward Of the line and hanging
there until the signal. when she squared
away and shot across. This manoeuvre
had forced Wanderer III beyond the float
ing mark too far to cross without float
ing the buoy. and she was forced 10 come
about This was done promptly. however.
hnd not many seconds were lost. IL was
one Of the prettiest starts ever made In a
race and all the boats had crossed within
40 seconds Of gun fire, getting away in the
following order: Elizabeth, Mblem. Wan
derer. Scatt and Clara They stood over
toward silver Spring well punched and
travelling fast The Mblem rounded the
mark first and then began 70 show clear
water between her stern and the other
boats The wanderer caught second place
for minute. but the Elizabeth soon
passed her and crept up on the Mblem,
and the two had a pretty scrap for few
minutes. Just above Pcmham. Mblem
forced Elizabeth TO take the port tack.
and soon afterwsrd they were splitting
tacks and the Mblem began TO go ahead
After this II was a procession until the
finish. and the relative positions OF the
boats were changed only by the mishap to
Elizabeth.
