SURPRISES TO BE MANY
One Reason for postponement
Of Second Case Is Now

When They Arrive.

Portland Dec. f9.-The reason foi
the second postponement Of the sec
ond conspiracy case was made appar'
ent today when II was ascertained tnat
the defendants In the first case held 8
conference on the evening OF Decem-
Der 10. which reached far into th'
night. At the meeting were present s
A. u. Puter. Mrs. Watson, Horace Nc
KInley. Mrs. Ware and. II is believed
ID. w. Tarpley.
II was argued that with the excep-
tlon OF Miss Ware. they were at q
disadvantage since they had been con-
vlcted, and as there Ia much trouble
ahead, all things considered Puter
Mrs. Watson and Mckinley could not
see why they should suffer In silence
while the instlgators OF the conspiracy
rested In peace and security.
The conclusion reached was that the
conspIrators mentioned agreed to tell
all that they knew, with the exception
of Miss Ware, who would not concede
except to appear before the
grand Jury again.
In return for this concession II is
said that the defendants were promised
as light sentence as possible. and. as
to the postponed cases II is unlikely
that the public will ever hear of them
again.
The fulflment of the agreement was
begun today when Puter and Mckinley
went beofre the grand jury and told
all they knew. The disclosures are
not made public. but 1t is intimnted
that they win reach persons In very
high places.

talk OF leniency. No confirmation OF
this report is obtainable, nor does the
story In this form have to deal with
what was done by way OF an agreement
or whether any was reached at all.
For several days the peachIng story
has been current. Nothing can be
learned from Special Assistant Attor-
ney General Heney, for his relations
with grand Jury preclude the possible
ity OF any statement, even were that
officer disposed to talk. Puter. when
asked II there was any truth in the
story OF his having peached, looked
surprised and said II was the first
he had heard Of II. but seemed interest
ed to know that such story had
gained currency.
There Is much speculation and many
are wondering II the fact OF the land
fraud cases going over had anything
TO do with the attitude OF the govern
ment officers in the matter. There is
speculation. II there had after the first
conviction. been revulsion Of front
on the part OF the conspirators, and a
determination that II would be best to
tell all and by duplicating those in
higher stations. purchase immunity for
themselves.
Whether II Is fact or not that
Puter and his associates have turned
governments evidence against any
others who may have been associated
in any way with conspiracy to de-
fraud the United States. 1t certainly
is a fact that many people are express
ing an opinion that such has been the
case. and that for this very reason Sem
ator Mitchell and Binger Hermann will
find themselves In hot water on reach

fraud trial, there was evidence to show
that Senator Mitchell introduced Puter

Washington, Dec. 19.-The house to-

Clifton VIII Take Members of Club
and Friends from City.
The members of the various Yacht
Club committees interested in the an
nual regatta to be held June 1 are all
busy making preparations that will as
sure the success of that event.
AS has been stated there will be a
large number of entries in each class,
some of these enteries being made by
members of the Carolina Yacht Club
of Charleston. The list is not yet COM
plete and probably will not be closed
until the day before the event.
The club has chartered the steamer
Clifton to take the members of the
club, their families, and the out of
town guests to the club, to follow
the races. The Clifton will leave her
wharf at $3.50 o'clock. A band will be
aboard to liven things, and refresh
ments will be served during the trip.
1t is probable that the steamer Louise
will also follow the races a plan be-
ing on foot to charter it. In the case of
this boat if it follows the yachts pas
sage will be for the general public.
1t is not unlikely that among the
races this year will be one of SOULS. Mr.
c. c. Martin, chairman Of the Regatta
Committee, is trying to arrange such
a race and believes he will succeed.
The regatta promises to be one of
the most successful ever held by the
club judging from the interest that is
being displayed in it. With good
weather its success is assured.

Of E. i. Coleman before Recorder My

Coleman was arrested by Patrolman
w. f. Sims. and charged with being
drunk and disorderly breaking up fur
nitUre, and threatening to kill his wife.
The wife was in court. but would not
testify against her husband.
The charge on which Coleman was re-
manded to the City Court was carrying
concealed weapons. Patrolman Sims
said Coleman had a pistol in his hip
pocket when he was arrested. AS tn"
officer approached him he IL alleged 10

Coleman did not have on a coat at
the time. but the officer stated he did
not see the revolver until Coleman
reached for it. It was with difficulty
that Coleman was placed under arrest,
1t was charged, even after the pistol
was taken from him.
Attorney w. f. Slater testified that
he had gone to the house 10 see Mrs.
Coleman, at Coleman's request. with a
view to preventing a separation. When
Coleman found him in the house he IS

SEVERAL ORDINANCES
WILL BE PASSED.
Councils Last Night Session Untn
Next September.

Next September.
At the meeting of the City Council
tonight there are a number of impor-
tant ordinances that are TO come up
for the second reading and passage.
The ordinance empowering the May
or to sign the contract for the Gwin-
net street subway will be read for the
second time and passed. All parties IN
terested in the subway say they are
ready to sign the contract and this will
be done within a day or so after the
passage of the ORDINANCE.
The ordinance for the paving OF
Thirty-tirst street from Lincoln to
Price will he read for the second time.
The ordinance will be passed, but it is
probable that it will be so amended
as to make the paving extend from
Lincoln to Habersham only.
The ordinance for the paving of
Park avenue from Jefferson to West
Broad will be passed. An ordinance
for the paving of Hall street, which
was condemned at the last meeting of
Council, will be introduced and read
for the first time.
There are few matters to come before
Council that have been turned over to
the clerk. The Georgia Telephone
Company will be given permission TO
put down copduits for its wires on
Barnard street from Gwinnett lane to
Fortieth street.
Several applications for payment for
articles destroyed by order of the
health department will be reported up
on adversely.
Mayor Myers will ask that a commit
tee be appointed to arrange for pro-
gramme for the laying of the corner
stone of the City Hall.

HOW TO GET RICH.
Lesson s. Chapter L.


Those who ride on the A. and B.
street cars south of Thirty-first street
doubtless notice that there are several
tracts of vacant land, and a number
of odd lots not built upon, and those
who do not know the facts probably
think those vacant properties are evil
dence of a surplusage of real estate in
Savannah. Each of those almost va
cant blocks between Bull and Barnard
streets has a house on it, but there will
be no other houses built on them as
the owners have taken the property
off the market Those lots of thirty
feet front would easily sell on an av-
erage of $1,000 a piece; but not a lot
can be bought because the holders are
of the opinion that real estate is q
good investment, and its increase in
value from year to year pays better in
terest than any investment they can
make. Nearly all the odd lots you see
are held by parties who expect to build
homes for themselves upon them as
soon as they finish paying for the real
estate. Those who are advised as to
the real estate market know that there
are no cheap lots where people of mod
crate means formerly looked for them.
Those $500 to $500 lots that were to be
had in and around the localities men
toned two to five years since have
gone forever. If you want cheap lots
you must go elsewhere, and if you
don't hurry and get your lots, there is
no saying how far you will have to go
to get a cheap lot. Your opportunity is
now; invest in a 5000 to $500 lot some
where. You can get them at these
prices on Thirty-ninth street, east, and
pay for them by the month. If Thirty
ninth street, east, doesn't suit your
ideas, buy lot on some other street.

ARE 81 CANDIDATES
IN GRADUATING CLASS.
Many Savannah High School Pupils
Seek Diplomas This Year.


The graduating class of the High
School this year numbers fifty-four.
OF this total thirtyfive are girls.
Final work preparatory to the exami-
nations is now under way, and all the
members of the class are working hard
for their final success. The size of the
class is about the average, though
there have been larger classes.
Supt. Otis Ashmore has not yet def
nitely decided upon the date for the
final examinations. 1t is probable that
they will be held, however, some time
during the last two weeks in June. The
exact dates will be announced as soon
as they have been determined upon.
The commencement exercises will be
held in the theater on June 20. The
programme Will be a short one this
year Everything will be made as con-
else as possible, the superintendent not
desiring to prolong the exercises.
The other schools of the city will hold
their final exercises on the last day of
the term. This is a matter left with
the principals of the schools, but it is
probable that the last day of the school
year will be chosen by all. Short and
appropriate programmes will be rem
dered in all the schools.
