THlRTY-SIX SHIPS
BOOKED FOR SAVANNAH.
New Record Likely To he Establish
ed by Port This Month.


ed ny Port This Month.
Thirty-six steamships are reported
from various sources as chartered to
come to this port, the great majority.
if not all of them, to load cotton.
As the greater portion of them will
probably arrive this month the out
look is that Savannah will establish
new record in its shipping business. as
we'll as one in its cotton receipts.
which it did last month and bids fair
to do again during the present month.
In this list of steamers are includ-
ed only those to make direct sailings
across the Atlantic, and not any of
the coastwise ships, though an enor-
nous quantity of cotton is shipped in
this way. The aggregate tonnage of
the direct ships amounts to 1921, or
an average of 1000 plus for each ship.
1t IS quite likely that there are still
other ships chartered for Savannah not
yet announced as it is not unusual for
brokers and agents to withhold, for
q time. information in regard to ships
expected.
In addition to the steamships some
twenty odd schooners are expected at
banks, barkentines and other sailing
craft. Many of the vessels will bring
cargoes to this city as well as take
them away. The steamers, according
to the port of sailing generally bring
kainit, pyrites. or other stuff used in
the manufacture of fertilizers. while
the schooners bring coal. salt and,
some Of them fish scrap, too.
These vessels have been attracted
here by the tremendous amount of cot
ton to be shipped direct, and such ship
ments are due to the very excellent
prices that are paid at this market,
and to the fine facilities for shipping.
Though there is a congestion at the
port just now. due to the unprece-
denied rush of the staple here, it is
expected that measures will be found
to clear it up within a few days, and
then the business will again assume a
normal condition.

HIGH WINDS LIKELY
ALONG THE COAST.
Disturbance Developing over East
Gulf States Last Night.


Increasing north to northeast winds
along the middle Atlantic coast and in
creasing easterly winds, shifting to
northerly along the South Atlantic
coast are expected for to-day.
The notice was sent out at 10 O'Clock
last night from the Central Weather
Bureau Office at Washington. The
telegram, which was signed by Gar
riott, is as follows:
Advisory warning, 10 p. m. Dis
turbance developing over the East
Gulf states and will move eastward.
1t is likely to cause increasing north
to northeast winds over the middle At
lantic coast and increasing east to
northerly winds on the South Allan
tic coast Monday" No warnings have
been ordered up as yet at any of the
points along the coast.
1t is not probable, unless there should
be some unexpected strength develop
ed, that there will be any danger re-
sulting. The telegram is sent out
merely to advise Observers to watch
for any increase in intensity of the
disturbance and as warning to the
shipping interests. In case there is
any unusual development in the
strength of the disturbance warning
will be hoisted to-day at all coast
points, where the storm is likely to be
felt.

QUAIL IN ABUNDANCE
IN COMING SEASON.

Parties who have been in the out
lying districts around Savannah, and
in other sections of the state, report
that the indications are that there will
be an abundance of quail for the
hunters this season, all seasons having
been admirably suited for the rearing
of the young.
In the immediate vicinity of Savan-
nah great numbers of coveys are said
to exist greatly in excess of last sea-
son, and the birds. are now we'll adj
vanced in growth, which promises that
they will be full, large and fat when
the season for shooting opens.

FIRED FIVE TIMES
AT PATROL MAN HICKS.
Officer ON His Beat Fired Upon
without Any warning.


officer ON His Beat Fired Upon
without Any Warming.
without any warning whatever, Pa
trolman Hicks was fired upon five
times at an early hour yesterday
morning. The officer had stopped on
Olive street to reprimand a negro man
and woman who were quarreling in a
loud and boisterous manner. when the
man opened fire.
The officer returned the fire, but
without effect, so far as is known.
George Anderson, a negro rs years
of age, was arrested by Patrolman
Hicks and others after daylight under
the wharf near West Broad street,
where he had been pursued by the off,
Ger. Anderson denies having firing at
Patrolman Hicks, but the officer is
positive he has the right man.
Immediately after the shooting, the
man who had done the firing made his
escape. Later, Patrolman Hicks went
to the home of George Anderson, whom
he had been told was the man. An
derson ran, closely followed by the Off
Ger. To avoid arrest.s the negro got
UNDER the wharf. The patrolman,
however, patiently waited until day
light, secured assistance and arrested
his man.
Christiana Maxwell, the woman with
whom Anderson was talking when the
officer first approached, also charges
Anderson with having shot at her
earlier in the night. There are, there
fore, two cases of assault with intent
to murder against the negro and one
for carrying concealed weapons.
Anderson denies that he fired his pis-
tol at all. There is no doubt that some
one shot at Patrolman Hicks, but An
derson contends he is not the man.
When he was arrested he had pis-
toll, but none of the shells had been
fired

RECTOR PRAISED THE
EFFORTS OF LADIES.


Credit for Improvement at St.
Johns Church Due to Them.
Services were resumed yesterday at
st. Johns Church, which has been
undergoing repairs and Improvements
for some time. A description of the
work done has already been given in
the Morning News, and every member
of the large congregation which as
sembled yesterday morning at the
church was pleased with the beauty of
the new decorations.
Before opening the services, the rec
tor, Rev. Charles H. Strong, spoke of
the improvements, calling attention to
the fact that the money that paid for
them had been raised entirely through
the efforts of the ladies, members of
the Rectors Aid Society. In one night
through their efforts, the sum of 81, 200
was raised. In closing, he thanked
them for their efforts and urged that
the men of the congregation, follow
ing their example, should raise the
money necessary for improving the ex-
terror of the church.
In the course of his address, Mr..
Strong also thanked the Sunday school
and the young men of the church for
the memorial which they had present
ed. The Sunday-school presented the
church with a new prayer-desk, in
memory of Clarence Connerat, for
twenty-five years its superintendent.
The gift from the young men was a
beautiful credence table in memory of
the young men who have gone be-
FORE
Mr.. Strong estimated that the de-
sired improvements to the exterior of
the church would cost about $500.
Plans for raising this amount will prob
ably be laid at once and steps taken
to put them in working order. At the
same time arrangements will probably
be made for furnishing new pews for
the church. The work of improving
the interior was done by Mr.. Chris
Murphy

manufacture Of wood spirits. turpen-
tine, oil of tar and other by-products

of Gainesville, Fla, will come to Sa-
vannah this week. probably arriving
Wednesday morning. He has already
leased a residence at Barnard and
Thirty-fourth streets.
Where the plant will be located has
not yet been decided, though the
chances are he will select Savannah.
In case he does not, he will make this
city his home in any event. When he
was here early in the summer he sue
ceeded in interesting local capital in
the scheme. and if sufficient encourage
ment can be obtained the plant will be
established here.
Mr.. Macarthur was interested in the
organization of similar concern at
Gainesville, with an investment of $780,
900, which has proved a paying enter
prise. He was for some time superin-
tendent of the plant
While no statement of the value of
the proposed plant has been obtained,
it is reported that it will be large
one. Final arrangements will be made

ANOTHER LIBERTY BELLE
AS RICH MANS BRIDE.
Mabel Kipp, Who Was Here, Third
of the Pink Pajame Girls.

Mabel Kipp, Who Was Here, Third
of the Pink PajamE Girls.
Savannah theater-goers who saw
1.-THE Liberty Bellies" last week will
recall Miss Mabel Kipp, the Pink Pa
jana girl and will be interested in the
following from the New York Morning
Telegraph:
ut has happened again. Another of
the girls who have worn the pink pa
jamas in THE Liberty Bellies" has
caught a wealthy husband. This time
it is Mabel Kipp. Her engagement to
j. Lawrence Woodall, a cotton broker
of New Orleans. is announced.
mabel Kipp is the third Pink Pa
jana Girl in THE Liberty Bellies" to
dazzle a rich man into asking her to
be his wife. The first was Pauline
Chase, the original Pink Pajama Girl
In The Bellies But she broke her en-
gagement at the last minute because
the glamour of the footlights appeared
more attractive than domestic bliss.
1t is her fault and not that of her rich
admirer that she is still single.
THE second was Louise Austin. who
became the wife of a railroad super
intendent. She has left the stage. is
married and is happy, so far as her
stage friends know.
Mabel Kipp, the third girl, an
nounced her engagement a few days
ago in New Orleans. This is only the
fifth week out for The Liberty Bellies
this season, and in that time the COM
pany has been in the South most of
the time, playing the larger one-night
stands, with the exception of a week
in New Orleans.
Mr.. Woodall was in the audience
at the opening performance there, and
the next day Miss Kipp received the
following letter:
My Dear Miss Kipp-I attended the
theater last evening. and was some
what impressed with the way you
seemed to smile at all times. and it
has been discussed many times as to
whether you are naturally good-na-
tured or not. 1 uphold the first belief
would like very much to have YOU
lunch some evening before or after
the performance, for the simple pur-
pose of becoming acquainted with YOU
hope / am writing to the right girl
the one who wears the pink silk pa
jana and looks so cute in the first
act. Yours cordially,
j. Lawrence Woodall
miss Kip is a Washington girl and
has been on the stage only a short
time. The wedding will take place in
Washington at the close of "The Lib
erty Bellies season, the first week In
May"

tentionally jumped into the water. This
is the generally accepted theory.
Instances have been known where
bodies of persons drowned in the river
here have not been recovered for sew
eral weeks, and the fact that Mr..
Griffin's remains have not been dis
covered does not signify that he was
not drowned.
1t is argued by the authorities that
had the missing man been a victim OF
foul play some clue would certainly
have been discovered during the last
weeks publicity which has been given
to his disappearance.
Mr.. r. A. Griffin stated that his
brother and his wife We're on good
terms, and very fond of each other.
No domestic trouble could be ascribed
as a reason for suicide.
Brothers Very Much Alike.
Mr.. r. A. Griffin bears striking
likeness to his missing brother He
also has a popularity in his walk. His
brother is perhaps little heavier
When Mr.. Griffin appeared on the
street yesterday several cabmen who
had been employed by his brother at
once mistook him for the man who is
now being searched for. The clerk at
the PSlaslSi House. who was on duty
when MIR. Griffin registered there, also
mistook him for the missing man.
Mr.. r.. A. Griffin said his brother was
hurt some months ago by falling
through a trestle near Birmingham,
but that his injuries were not to his
leg, but to his side. He had never re-
quired the use OF crutches before he
came to Savannah.
In point OF mystery the case is still
one OF the most remarkable that has
ever occurred in Savannah.
Coming for sample Trunks.
A letter was received by the Morn
ing News yesterday from the Etchin-
son Hat Company. Inc. Of Richmond,
Va, IN whose employ Mr.. Griffin was
at the time of his disappearance. The
company Is anxious 10 locate the
trunks OF samples that Mr.. Griffin had,
and a representative OF the firm will
arrive IN Savannah to-day TO look them
up.
The trunks are still at the Central

der. prohibiting the Chatham Casket
and Coffin Company from continuing
to erect buildings on the tract of land

last January he leased from I. d. Lo-
Roche the property known as the Tel
fair Place" for period Of one year.

All went we'll until the petitioner went
to Mr.. BaRoche last month to nav the
next advance, when the money was re-
fused and announcement made that the
land had been sold.
A visit to the place showed the Pc
titioner that the Coffin Company.
which was granted a charter on Aug
10, was erecting buildings on the prop
erty and installing machinery. He or
dered them TO desist. but they de-
elined to do SO, claiming that they

rush and roar that has existed for the
last two weeks bale after bale was
hurried into the depths of the waiting
steel monsters. coming in an intere
minable stream, seemingly focused
from every quarter of the southland.
Those who had looked forward to the
sailing of the majority of the ships
chartered for September sailings as a
relief to the terrible strain that has
existed of late were disappointed.
A Regular Trade Day.
With the difference that the Cotton
Exchange was not open Sunday was
not different from any during the last
week. Brokers. shippers and all con-
pected with the cotton trade were
at their offices from morning until
night.
Congresses were running on full
time, with the largest available force
Of hands. Tugs and lighters were con-
stantly passing up and down the river
from one dock to the other and from
one press to the other.
Though it was estimated last night
that fully fifteen thousand bales of
cotton were handled during the day
and night, brokers stated that the
situation was not as much relieved
as they would like to see it.
May BE Another Record Breaker.
With the extremely hot weather that
has prevailed during the last week in
all sections Of the state the receipts
at Savannah to-day and for the rest
Of the present good season are expected
to be abnormal and it is possible that
the record for this port which was
broken on Sept. % will again be
broken.
So far the railroads have made
no complaint of scarcity of
cars, although one prominent of
fieial said a week ago that
he expected any day to hear the
first complaints made. The roads are
straining every point to handle the
immense shipments that are crowded
upon them with dispatch, and it is not
anticipated now that any trouble will
be experienced from this source.
