DR.. RIXEY HAS BEEN
ORDERED TO PANAMA.
Surgeon General of Navy VIII In
vestigate Sanitary Conditions.

vestigate Sanitary Conditions.
Sanitary conditions on the Isthmus
of Panama will receive the attention
Of the United States medical experts
before the commission recently ap-
pointed by President Roosevelt begins
the work Of constructing the great
waterway that will connect the two
oceans. This announcement was made
by Surgeon General P. NJ. Rixey, Of
the United States navy, who spent
few hours in Savannah yesterday, en-
route to Port Royal where he goes on
official business.
Dr. Rixey has received instructions
from President Roosevelt to go to the
isthmus with the view of making a
careful investigation, and submitting
report as to what course should be
pursued to improve sanitary conditions
on the isthmus, in order that the work
Of constructing the canal may begin,
with the assurance that the death rate
among the workmen will not be so
great as it was when the French cor
poration attempted to dig the canal.
DR.. Rixey will probably leave for
Panama sometime during the latter
part of this month.
Prominent medical experts have re-
ported that the sanitary condition on
the lsthmus can be more easily rene
died than in the cities Of Havana and
Manila. 1t IS said that the United
States will not attempt to begin work
on the canal until sanitary conditions
are such as not to endanger the lives
of the men employed to carry out the
work.
DR.. Rixey was met here by Capt
McKelvey, of the Marine Corps, and
accompanied to Port Royal, where ne
goes to look into the advisability of
establishing a hospital for the treat
ment of tuberculosis. 1t is proposed
to establish the hospital on the govern
ment reservation at Port Royal and
try the open air experiment. The at
mospheric conditions are said to be
well adapted for the relief of the dread
ed disease and the government will
make test. If the experiment proves
a success a permanent open-air hos
pltal Will be erected. For the present,
a number of tents will be erected to
accommodate a limited number of pa
TENTS.
DR.. Rixey is one of the most pronni-
nent physicians in the country, and
was appointed surgeon general of the
navy by President Roosevelt two years
ago. For three years he was the pri-
waite physician at the White House,
having been selected by the late Presi-
dent Mckinley. He always accom-
panied Mr.. and Mrs. Mckinley on their
trips from Washington and was with
the President at the time he was shot
at the Buffalo EXPOSITION

JURY GAVE ONLY $500
TO THE GOVERNMENT.
Turpcntine Case Will he Taken TO
Circuit Court of Appeals.

Turpentine Case VIII he Taken to
Circuit Court of Appeals.
When the United States court con-
vened yesterday morning the sealed
verdict returned by the jury in the
case of the United States against the
Southern Naval Stores Company was
opened.
The jury awarded the government
$30O.09. Suit had been brought to re-
cover $1,000 from the Naval Stores
Company as factors to whom the tur-
pentine alleged to have been taken
illegally from the government lands,
had been consigned.
The case will probably be taken to
the Circuit Court of Appeals for re-
view. Until a decision has been hand
ed down by that court the cases
against the Ellis-Young Company and
against the Peacock Hunt & West
Company will not be taken up. There
are three separate cases against each
of the last named companies.

USING COT FOR BOAT,
WENT ROWING IN CELL.
Niles Only Wanted Good Head,
Knowledge and Good Lungs.

Niles Only Wanted Good Head,
Knowledge and Good Lungs.
Believing that his cell in Chatham
county jail was covered with water,
that his cot was a rowboat, and that
his hands could serve as ducks feet,
David Niles. colored, yesterday gave
unmistakable evidences of insanity.
A Jury adjudged him insane and he
will be sent TO Milledgeyille.
The evidence showed that Niles was
not addicted to drink, but that his
mind had begun weakening after Sc
we're attack of malarial fever from
which he suffered about two years ago.
Niles was arrested by the Waterman
at Mr. j. A. G. Carson's house at Isle
of Hope several days ago and commit
ted to Jail.
In conversation with some Of the Of
ficials of the Court of Ordinary Niles
said: Il live with the Lord, and the
Lords done promised to put me back
in my proper position" When asked
what his proper position was he re-
piled: "A good head with plenty of
knowledge in it and good lungs"
Thomas Garrett. colored, was also
tried before a jury in the Ordinarys
court and adjudged insane. Garrett
was arrested at his home on the Au-
gusta road, about four miles from the
city, on complaint of his sister. The
evidence showed that about six months
ago his mind began to show evidences
of weakening, and recently he gave
signs of becoming violent. He made
several attempts to injure his sister
and other members of the family, and
was fast developing into a raving ma
MAC when arrested.
1t developed at the hearing that Gar
rett had a younger brother who had
lost his mind some years ago, the evil
dence seeming to point to an heredi-
tary touch of mental unsoundness.
Garrett will be sent to Milledgeville
with Niles

PLAZA IN FRONT
OF POSTOFFICE
SUGGESTED BY MAYOR MYERS.
ALDERMAN DIXON SAYS GET PLAZA
BUT PAVE STREETS FIRST.

chairman of Council Wants Streets
in Front and Rear of POstOfnce
Paved at Once-Mayor Myers Sug-
gests That Congress BE Asked TO
Buy Chatham Artillery Hall Block
for PIaza-BeIieves Government
May he Induced to Do So, IL Mat
ter Is Agitnted.
''Let the government buy the block
Ia front OF the postofFice for a plaza"
WAS the idea advanced by Mayor Her
enAn Myers yesterday.
"Let the Plaza come when we can
get it, but let's pave President and
York streets by the postoffice at once"
N-his is the way Chairman of Council
Names M Dixon views the matter.
These expressions grew out of the
suggestion that York and President
streets be paved between Bull and
Whitaker streets. The matter has
been talked Of by a number of per-
sons recently, because of the paving
of Whitaker street.
These two short blocks are now the
only sides of the postofiice not paved
The York street side is used by all
she mail wagons and is in very bad
condition. The President street side
SIS used constantly by the public, is
not well graded, and the paving there
would be a great convenience.
Mayor Myers, when asked If the paw
tng of the streets had been considered
at all by Council, said they had not.
Work for "A Plaza.
What 1 want" said the Mayor, "is
70 get the government to buy the
Chatham Artillery hall block and have
a plaza in front of the postoffice. By
Rgitating the matter, we can get this
done, too. The matter is to be taken
up a little later OF course nothing
can be accomplished until the next
session Of Congress, but we can get it,
If we will work for it.
1.-THE government building, fine
structure, is not shown to proper ad-
vantage. With a plaza in front, it
would present a magnificent appear
once. 1t is a matter for the Chamber
of Commerce to work up. 1t will be
done, too. l believe.
with a plaza in front of the Post
office and a big hotel across on the
corner-Ah, wouldn't it be fine!'
The Mayor said the city would con-
sent to the closing of President street
for the one block in front of the post
office, if the government would buy the
block for the plaza.
Pave the Streets Now.
Chairman of Council Dixon is no
less in favor of the plaza than is May
or Myers. He thinks, however, that
the streets around the postoilice should
be paved while the work of getting
the plaza is being done.
I'VE cannot get the plaza for some
kirne to come" he said, land the
streets should be paved at once.
have no doubt the government would
pay its portion of the paving bill, but
4 would favor the paving of these two
blocks, whether the government pays
OF not. AS public convenience, the
paving there is needed, and 1 am in
favor of having it done Immediately.
my plan would be to go ahead and
pave the streets and send in the bills
for the governments share. / believe
they would be paid. When sidewalks
were put down. this was done, and
We money WAS paid within thirty
days"

Fire Drill in Schools.

To the Editor of the Post Dis patch.
The following excerpt from a
letter received from a friend in
Toronto, Canada. dated 5th
inst, will probably interest
many of your read ers. After
referring to the Iroquois Thea
ter catastrophe, the writer
says.
eve might have had the hor-
ror repeated here today but for
good sense and training. One
of our schools, in which 600 pu-
pills, took fire in the has ement
and the first floor. The teach.
ers of that room smoke
burst into one of the rooms on
the phoned the principal and
he sounded the fire.drill gong.
The children were all quietly
marched out in less than two
minutes and except in the two
rooms where it was first seen
the children didn't know that it
was anything but -fire-drill. Of
course. the teachers knew they
would not be called out when
the thermometer marked 10 de.
grees below zero unless for a
sure-enough fire. None had
taken wraps or overcodts, for
had they done so the children
would have suspected fire. In
very few minutes after the
fire broke out there was nothing
left, but the bare walls. The
children in the two rooms who
knew the building was on fire
stood perfectly still and never
uttered a sound, and when the
order was given to march, left
the rooms quietly and in per-
feet order, without the least
break"
