JUSTICE GUARDED
WITH IRON CHAINS

At the beginning of the April term
of the Federal court, Judge Dole had
hempen hawsers stretched across the
driveway passing under the courtroom
windows. This was to stop the traffic
of drays and carts on that route, the
noise of which badly interrupted court
proceedings. Now the ropes have been
substituted with galvanized iron chains
hooked to posts on either side.
It is a wonder that the authorities
have not long ago prohibited the Judi
ciary building yard driveways. also
Malulani street. from being used for
any but rubber-tired vehicles. For
lack of a specific regulation to that
purpose, Judge Gear recently protect
ed his court by sending officers to
stop wheeled traffic on Malulani street,
at which some drivers raised quite an
uproar of protest. When Judge Hum
phreys was on the bench, he scared
steam roller engineer nearly out of
his wits by citing him into court to
receive a warning of Imprisonment for
contempt if he continued to drive his
snorting machine around the court
house while the court was in session.

A BUNCH OF
NONSENSE
Travestians in WhirIisig
Furnish Plenty OF
Fun.

We all got THE full change for a
dollar at the Orrheum last night when
the Travestianss put on their double
bill of Whirligit, and the Big Little
Princess. In fact the show ran pretty
close to the last car-linit, but didn't
notice any. one leaving their seats be-
fore the curtain dropped.
It was all good, all very amusing
and the program has some novelties.
The best turns of the evening were
the cleverly stepped clog dance of
KoIb, Dill and 14dllie Sutherland. who
by the way is Il regular little honey
pot and a great favorite. Barney Ber-
nard's parodies, which brought down
the house and ,Maude Ambers Blu
gaboo Man. ditty.
Despite the fact that Rolb joshes
Tiny Amber about being called
.'cute" by the papers. that word dis
/ LluCl1y DllcQ l1CI f1ctol 1iA5iit III bAAc
.'Bugaboo Man and besides, Kolb
really has as good a title to the phrase
as Maude A lady said only yester-..
day at Waikiki that Kolb in bath
ing suit was ..just the cutest thing
she had ever sesn,' except of course
Barny Bernard feet. She tried to get
4 snapshot of Kolb but not having
a panoramic camera had to leave off
both ends. It Id, however, distinct
likeness.
Everybody was cute in the Big Lit
tie Princess, however, from Winthe-.
girls Blake in his little nightie to Dill
as the fat girl Whir1igig is just a
bunch of foolishrless like the rest with
big opportunities for Dill as a bell
boy and Kolb as a waiter while Ber-
nard gives another artistic and novel
characterization Of a Hebrew million
aire. His efforts not to waste the
champagne are cleverly conceived and
prove very laugnabIe.
Kolb and Dill fight of course. Kolb
kicks Dill in the Ostermoor and then
they have it out with gloves, Barry
Kelly style much to the delectation of
the audience.
Some clever local hits We're sprung
in spontaneous fashion by all the prin-
cipals and none of them had to be
rammed home. Charlotte Vidot had a
better chance to display her talents
and made the most of it. She has
very fetching personality and makes
most presentable Ostermoor.
1t is no use talking about the story
of Whirligig for there is none but the
plot is beautifully costumed, gaudily
in spots, Bernard has no less than
seven colors in his bathing suit. Tt is
laughable, that is all anyone expects
and the music, while not as catchy as
Fiddle de Dee or Hoity Toity is pleas
ing.
In Big Little Princess Bernard runs
girls boarding school and every
body plays the lady except Goodall
who contributes two good impersona-
tons of an Irish gypsy and tough
officer. Some clever travesties Of pop
ular nursery rhymes are sung and the
whole cast plays the tonfool while the
audience laughs. Blake as a naughty
village cut up and Kolb as the man
of all work are prominently good. The
bill is repeated tomorrow evening.

Delegates Selected to United SYNOD
and Drive in Afternoon.

The final business meeting of the
Lutheran synod will be held this morn
ing. The synod will close tomorrow
night.
The most important matter to come
up will be the selection of place for
the meeting next year. So far no in
vitations have been extended, and 1t is
not known where the meeting will be
held. Carrolton and Pax have been
mentioned as places where the con-
vention would probably go.
The meeting Of the synod, which is
drawing to a close, has been very
successful one from every point Of
view. One or two prominent minis
ters who were expected sent word at
the last moment that they could not
be present, but the leaders of the
church, in ministerial, educational and
journalistic lines. were on hand and
have added much to the success of the
meeting.
At yesterday mornings session dele
gates to the United Synod, which
meets at Newmarket, Va, on July Z,
were elected as follows:
Principals of Clerical Delegates-Rev.
w. C. Schaeffer, Savannah; Rev. ]. S.

D. E. Riser, Oglethorpe; Mr.. e. l..

during the year.

received, allowing the application for
the ordination of Mr.. w. C. Schaeffer,
Jr.. as a minister. The ordination will

CITY WILL APPEAL
THE SWANST0N CASE.
Sealed Verdict Awarded the Plain
tin $500 Damages

The sealed verdict returned in the
case of w. e. SWANSON against the
city Of Savannah was opened yesterday
in the City Court. The verdict award
ed the plaintiff damages in the sum
of $500. though he had asked for $l0,~
600 The case will be appealed by the
city.
Mr. Swanston was suing for dam
ages as a result of an injury sustained
by falling into an excavation made by
the city at Drayton and Gwinnett
streets. He claims that the red light
of warning was placed far to the left
of the real danger point, and that,
therefore. he could not know that the
danger was where he was riding. The
claim OF the city is that the light was
properly placed and that the accident
was due to fast riding
This is the second trial of the case.
At the former hearing the jury award
ed the plaintiff damages in the sum
of $500. A new trial was agreed to by
mutual consent. The plaintiff is repre-
scented by Mr. w. c. Charlton and Mr..
David c. Barrow, and the defense by
Col. William Garrard.

SUBWAY WILL BE
STARTED ON TIME.
Some of the Work VIII Be Done
Before Sept. 1.

Before Sept. 1.
Though no steps have yet been taken
towards the building of the Gwinnett
street subway, except the signing of
the contract, arrangements will be
made to have the work started
promptly on Sept. l.
In order to begin then, it will be nee
essary to do considerable advertising,
as much of the work is to be let by
contract.
Some of the preliminary work will be
done before that date, such as the
laying of sewers. All of the sewers
in that locality will of course have to
be put on a different level. There will
be quite an amount of this work and
it is the intention of the city officials
to have it all completed by the time the
actual work on the subway is started.
1t was generally supposed that the
actual work on the subway was to be
started at once, until after the con-
tract was signed. 1t was then learn
ed that the city officials and the Off
GERS of the street railway company
had a private agreement not to begin
work until after the summer season.
The building of the subway now,
when the Thunderbolt line has so much
heavy traffic, both to the Amusement
Park and the baseball games, would,
of course, seriously inconvenience that
corporation, as well as the public.
Before there is any advertising done
there will have to be meeting of the
Subway Committee, of which tCol. w.
L. Grayson is a prominent member.
The committee will have to decide upon
just what work shall be done by the
city, and what shall be advertised for.
There will doubtless be a meeting of
the committee within the next week
or ten days.

NO RIFLE RANGE FOR
TROPHY SHOOT
Chances For Securing Event Have
Apparently Faded Away.

Chances For Securing Event Have
Apparently Faded Away.
Unless a new rife range can be Sc
cured all hope of securing the National
Trophy shoot for Savannah in 1905
must be abandoned. No range, no
shoot.
1t is the custom to hold these events
in different sections of the country and
Savannah would. it is thought, have
had no difficulty in getting the meeting
for next year. The shoot last year was
held at Seagirt.
Il am almost forced to the belief that
we will have no rife range" said Col
William L. Grayson yesterday" The
idea of the military was that troops
in this department. from points, per
haps, as far distant as Chattanooga,
might be sent here by the War Depart
ment for practice. There are few
ranges adapted to the new guns.
Troops would probably be sent here
through the rifle season, to stay Two
weeks at time. About 600 men could
be sent. In this way from $4,000 to
100000 would be turned loose here each
month during the season.
Macon / understand is working on
a range, and will have one adapted to
modern arms. 1t will, 1 guess, get some
patronage from the government in the
way suggested"

THOUGHT SUMMONS
INTENDED FOR JOKE.
1. HeIlmnn Paid No Attention TO
Subpoena From Superior Court.

1. HeIImnn Paid No Attention to
Subpoena From Superior Court.
Thinking that the subpoena to APP
pear as a witness for the defense in
a case now pending in the Superior
Court was intended for a joke, Mr.. 1.
Hellman paid no attention to It. AS a
result, when the case was called in
the Superior Court yesterday he was
not present, and announcement was
made that he had sailed for New
York
According to the story, Mr.. Hellman
had been notified that he would be
wanted as a witness for the state, but
had not been served with summons.
As he was stepping aboard a steamer
sailing for New York Thursday night,
he was served with a summons to ap-
pear as witness for the defense. He
looked upon the whole matter as a
joke, and paid no attention to it, sail
ing for New York early yesterday
Announcement of the absence of Mr..
Hellman was made by one of the at
torneys for the defense, and the case
was postponed until July Is. 1t is pos
sible that an attachment will be issued
for the missing witness. 1t is not
thought that Mr.. Hellman intended IL
be in contempt of court, the theory be-
ing that he thought some of his
friends were attempting to play a joke
on him and keep him from making his
trip to New York

SToP-WATCH FOR
FAST AUTOMOBILES.
Bicycle Officer Christie VIII WaE,
War on Swift Drivers.

Bicycle Officer Christie viii Wage
War on Swift Drivers.
IF the police can accomplish anything
the streets and crossings will no longer
be unsafe. by reason of the swiftly gld-
ing automobile. For the finest viii
take a "crimp" in that glide by holding
the drivers down to a reasonable speed
limit. The ordinance says eight miles
an hour IS fast enough.
Heretofore the plea OF drivers ar
rested for alleged unlawful speed has
been that of not guilty and as the eyes
of the police are not admissible, as
speed indicators, except on rare occa-
sions, the guardians of the law have
been greatly handicapped.
But the police department now has a
stop watch, the custodian being Bicy-
Gle Officer Christie. In order to ascer-
tain the speed of the suspected auto
mobile. il will only be necessary to
measure the time it occupies in going
a given distance, and then to measure
the distance. When this is done and
the result shows a speed of more than
eight miles an hour. II will be all off
with the auto driver. The officer was
out for the first time yesterday, but TO
cases were made.
