DID NOT UNDERSTAND
FREE TICKET GAME.

When the Casino management be-
gan handing out the extra tickets at
the matinee performance yesterday a
great many of the people did not un-
derstand exactly what it was all about.
and some of them at first refused to
take the tickets. They evidently
thought some new game was being
worked on them.
The custom was inaugurated yes
terday of giving, with every ticket
bought at matinee performances two
tickets, one for a free ride on the
toboggan and the other for free adj
mission to the mystic maize. At every
matinee performance in the future the
free tickets will be given out.
The swimming pool at Thunderbolt
will be opened on Wednesday, it is
thought. A floor is being put in the
pool and the building around it is be-
ing renovated.

an to Join Him in savannah.
Why Smith left Macon is an inter
esting story, as told by Detective
Emerson of that city. who came to
Savannah yesterday for the prisoner.
T. S. Smith is wanted in Macon on
a charge of assault and battery. it
being alleged that he slapped the face
of Miss Annie Rittenberry.
The Macon officer says Smith. slapped
her off a porch and then kicked her
in the side. According to the officer,
she had tried to look at a note which
Smith did not want her to see. The
father of Miss Rittenberry swore out
a warrant for Smith, charging him with
assault and battery. He got away
from Macon, and his whereabouts We're

he was arrested here.
Friday Smith sent a telegram to a
woman in Macon
According to Detective Emerson, the
woman to whom the telegram was sent
is married, and it was her husband
who tipped off the Macon police.
The telegram read, Come to Savan-
nah, Sunday train, a. m. Answer i'm
mediately." When the telegram arrived
the husband was at home, Detective
Emerson says. The wife answered the
door, read the telegram and was tear
ing it up when her husband came out
in the hall and demanded to see it.
She continued to tear it up, accord
ing to Emerson, but the husband took
the pieces away from her and tried
to put them together. All the tele-
gram could not be made out. so he
went to the Western Union office and
had the manager furnish him with a
copy, which he turned over to the po-
lice.
. AS a precautionary measure the wife
was kept in the house until after the
police had wired here and had Smith
arrested.
The only statement that Smith would
make about his case at all was that
he knew the woman" didn't give him
away. Later DEVELOPMENTS show that
he was right, though there was some
reason for those here to suppose at
first that she had.

SOUTH SIDE WANTS
MORE ELECTRIC LIGHTS.
VIII Ask City to Have % New
Lights Placed on Streets.

VIII Ask City to Have 70 New
Lights Placed on Streets.
Twenty-Five more electric lights for
the South Side is the cry of the South
Side Administration Club now. The
Advisory Committee of the club has
already been talking about the matter
and has decided to make the next fight
to that end.
The way the South Side is building
up, the lights are needed" said a
prominent member yesterday. 1--WE are
going to make a fight for them and 1
believe we will get them. The Advis-
ory Committee has discussed the mat
ter thoroughly and we find that the
streets can not be properly lighted un-
less the additional lights are put in"
No application has yet been made to
Council to have the new lights put up.
but probably will be soon. There are,
however, several applications asking
for lights in different parts of the
city that have been held UP, because
the electric company is trying to get a
different kind of light, thought to be
better than the ones now in use. AL
derman Davant, the chairman of the
Streets and Lanes Committee. stated
at a recent Council meeting that the
applications were being held up for this
reason.

WILL ADVANCE RETAIL
PRICES VERY SOON
Native Cattle to Bring Price OF
Western Meat.


1t is generally conceded, as an
nounced in the Morning News yester-
day. that there will be an advance in
the retail prices on meat early this
week, if the strike continues.
Some Of the butchers say the whole
sale prices have been raised as much
as cents pound in some grades.
only in rare instances has there been
any advance in retail prices here yet,
though all the butchers agree that
prices will have to be increased early
this week.
A butcher in the City Market said
yesterday that the last Western meat
VIII probably reach this city on We'd
nesday. He thinks the native meat
will then be raised to the same price
as the Western product.
There is some difference of opinion
among the butchers as to the available
supply of meat. All agree that the
Western supply on hand is very limit
ed and will soon be exhausted. After
Thursday or Friday, the local market
Will be supplied entirely by Georgia
and Florida cattle. Some of the
butchers think there will be no trouble
at all in getting a plenty of this class
or meat, While others think there will
be a shortage.
The Georgia and Florida cattle, by
reason of the dry summer, are in bad
condition, some of the butchers state.
There may be quite a scarcity if condi-
tions are as bad as some of the dealers
think The prices will undoubtedly be
advanced, unless the strike is settled
at once, but majority of the butchers
here anticipate no trouble in getting a
sufficient supply, though the Western
meats of course cannot be secured.
If the strike lasts all packing house
products will soon be affected. Hams.
all smoked meats, canned goods and
lard will all go up. and the difference
in the cost of living will be consider
able.
At present, however, a plentiful sup
ply of vegetables at reasonable prices
may be secured. The vegetarian is
certainly having his day now and if
the strike continues a great many peo-
pie will perforce turn vegetarians.

Fl. IA. WAS ISSUED
AGAINST LIPPMAN
FOR A STATE LICENSE.
ATTORNEY GENERAL HART DE-
CIDED IT SHOULD BE DONE.

General Was Received Yesterday
Morning, Tax Collector Thomson
Issued "A fl. ia. Against Lewis Lipp-
man for the $50 State Tax-It VIII
Be Turned over to the Sheriff
Monday for Service-AttOrney
General silent as to City AttOr-
ney's opinion.
Following the opinion of Attorney
General Hart, which reached Savan-
nah by yesterday mornings mail, Tax
Collector Thomson Issued a fl. ia.
against Lewis Lippman for the $50
state license charged for running 4
ticket brokers' office in Georgia.
The Fl. ia. will be placed in the sher-
ifs hands Monday. and he will imme-
diately proceed to levy on any asset
of Mr.. Lippman that can be found.
This information was given out by Mr..
Thomson upon the receipt of the let
ter from Atlanta.
The Attorney General, according to
the letter which Mr.. Thomson received,
holds that a veteran cannot use
veterans license for a place JndL ne
does not conduct himself. Nothing is
said of the opinion of Col. Garrard,
which was forwarded Attorney Cen
eral Hart. in which it is held that
the law eXempting the veterans from
license taxes is unconstitutional.
The constitutionality or unconstitu-
tionality of the act exempting the vet
Grams is, of course. the important
point on which the opinion of the At
Torney General was desired. but for
this special case it does not matter,
as-1r. Hart holds that the place can
license unless the veteran himself runs
the business.
If anything is found to levy on, the
case will get into the courts Immediate
", as Mr.. Lippman will very probably
resist the levy. If, however the sher-
iff does not find anything to attach
the matter will probably be allowed
to drop until the Police Court cases,
which were decided yesterday against
the Lippmans, are decided in the Su-
perior Court.
The ticket brokers' office is now get
ting into trouble with the state as well
as the city The Controller General
in a letter to Mr.. Thomson, the tax
collector last week, stated 1t was his
opinion that a business had to be per-
sonally conducted by the veteran in
whose name the license is issued. He
instructed Mr. Thomson, however, not
to proceed until the opinion of the At
torney General was secured. Mr..
Hart has decided that such must be
the case. and the tax collector imme-
diately issued the fl. ia.

NEW GARBAGE DUMP
IN NOW IN USE.
Patrons of Isle of Hope Line Secure
Relief Mt Last.

Ehtron ms OF Isle or Hope Line secure
Relief mt Last.
After delays. unexplained, the new
garbage dump in in use, and the pa
irons of the Isle of Hope line of the
Savannah Electric Company will not
have their nostrils offended as in the
past.
A letter was addressed to Manager
Nash of the Savannah Electric Com
pany from the Office of the County
Commissioners yesterday morning,
notifying him that there was no rea-
son why the new dump should not be
used.
Later in the day, Vice Chairman A.
3. Moore, of the commissioners, stated
that the new dump was ready for the
street railway company not less than
two weeks ago, and he knew of no
reason why it should not have been
used. Certainly the county had done
it's full share, and the street railway
company was responsible for any de-
lay that was occasioned, Mr.. Moore
said.
For some time the garbage has been
dumped near the main line. This, of
course, has been particularly offensive
TO the patrons of the Isle of Hope
line, and caused protests to be regis
tered. And now it developes that a
part of the trestle to the old dump
was burned some two or three weeks
ago, according to Manager Nash Of
the street railway. OF course the cars
couldn't go over the burned trestle,
and the garbage could not be hauled
as far as it should have been.
Commissioner Moore says that the
street railway company will have been
dumping the garbage for several weeks
before the county will have erected it's
sheds at the dump. 1t is not at all
necessary for the sheds to be erected
before the new dump can be used,
and this is shown by the fact that
Manager Nash acted when he received
the letter from the Office of the County
Commissioners.
