MUST ADD MANY
FIRE ESCAPES
New building Ordinance VIII Re-
quire Them on Buildings.

New building Ordinance VIII Re-
quire Them on Buildings.
The new building ordinance, as it
now reads, requires fire escapes on
many buildings that are now without
them. The ordinance has yet to be
passed upon by the Special Building
Ordinance Committee before it goes to
Council, but the chances are that it
will not be changed, and that many
buildings, which are now without fire
escapes, will have to be equipped with
them under the provisions of the ordi-
nance. This will necessitate the put
ting in of many fire escapes on old
buildings in the city.
The ordinance also makes provisions
as to material in buildings. OF course
buildings that are already UP are not
to be effected by the ordinance, except
so far as the requirements may be in
the nature of fixtures that can be add
ed, as is the case with fire escapes.
There are many buildings in the bust
ness portion of the city not equipped
with fire escapes, or else they are in
adequately equipped. The passage of
the ordinance as it now reads will
mean that fire escapes will have to be
added to quite d number of old build
ingS.

COURT MAY REFUSE
TO APPOINT N0TARIES.
Attorneys Believe Appointment Is
Solely n Matter of Discretion.

Attorneys Believe Appointment Is
Solely n Matter of Discretion.
The presentments of the grand jury,
especially those concerning justices of
the peace. was generally discussed
yesterday among the legal fraternity.
The consensus of opinion is that there
are now too many justices in Chat
ham county.
The four means of changing the evil,
as recommended, are, constitutional
amendment, making justices salaried
officials; a reduction in the number of
militia districts; refusal of grand ju-
ries to recommend; and refusal of the
court to appoint even on recommended
ton. The latter phase was the one
most discussed. And the consensus of
opinion seems TO be that it is a mat
ter of discretion with the court.
The law governing the appointment
of justices of the peace ex-officio and
of notaries public" said Capt. r. NJ.
Hitch, states that the court may APP
point notaries public and justices ex-
officio upon recommendation of the
grand jury. 1 do not believe that
may is to be construed as manda-
tory but rather that it is a matter of
discretion on the part of the court.
Il can readily see why discretion
was left with the court. In many
counties one justice could easily care
for all the business that might arise,
while in others several would be nee
essary. The court should be in the
best position to decide, and so the
matter was left in its hands.
Il do not believe that appointment
is necessary upon recommendation.
The case in Fulton county is one in
point. A justice named Venable ten
dered a resignation, signed by his
brother, and following close upon it
was the recommendation of the grand
jury that a certain person be appoint
ed to fill the vacancy. Venable then
that his brother had no right to sign
his resignation. The court refused to
appoint. / believe that the discretion
airy power used in that case can be
used in all cases where recommended
tions are made.
Personally, favor making the JUS
tice salaried officer, as 1 believe that
this would correct many of the abuses
which are alleged to exist because of
the fee system"
Other attorneys who were consulted
on the matter took practically the
same ground as did Capt. Hitch. >All
agreed that there are too many JUS
tices at present. The matter of a con-
stitutional amendment, making justices
salaried officers, was highly favored,
and considered as the best remedy at
hand.

POLICE LOOKING FOR
MISCHIEF MAKER.
Syrian Who Took Ring From Mrs.
Bass Was Fined.

Bass Was Fined.
Mary George. the Syrian woman ar
rested for attempting to steal a ring
from the finger of Mrs. w. NJ. Bass of
No. 1913 Abercorn street, was tried in
Police Court yesterday and fined $40.
1t was clearly shown that some one
had told the Syrian woman that a
woman had a ring belonging to her
husband. 1t is possible the address
was mixed up and she went to the
wrong house, or it may be that who
ever told her about the ring did so
with the idea of getting her into trou-
Bile, or else with the desire of causing
annoyance to the person alleged to
have the ring.
The charge of robbery was dropped
and the Syrian was tried for disorderly
conduct. On that charge she was fined
$40! The case was a very peculiar
one. 1t is not known who told the
woman some one had been given a ring
by her husband. She evidently be-
lieved such to be the case, however.
The police are anxious to locate the
mischief maker, but so far have no
clue. The woman herself does not
know who it was that told her about
the ring. The Syrian snatched the
ring from Mrs. Bass finger.

WAS TAKEN ILL
IN TRINITY CHURCH.
Evangelist Said Satan was Trying
to Scare Congregation OF.

bFahSeHst said Satan was IryluS
to Scare Congregation on.
Just at the beginning of the revival
service at Trinity Church last night
there was an interruption occasioned
by some one in the gallery fainting.
Don't you mind that" said Rev.
Lincoln Mcconnell, when the sick per-
son had been taken from the church.
I've had all sorts of things happen in
my meetings. Why, have even had a
dog fight going on.
Whenever L preach on Sin the
devil generally gets up some sort of a
disturbance and attempts to scare the
congregation off. There must be q
good many backsliders here tonight
and the old fellow didn't want me to
preach to them. But l am going to do
it."
And Mr.. Mcconnell did. The sermon
was an address to backsliders. Taking
as his text the incident of st. Peters
denial of Christ, the speaker drew a
strong lesson, holding out hope of sal
walton to all, and earnestly pleading
with the congregation to live in close
touch with the Master
In beginning the service Mr.. Nc
Council asked the congregation to JOIN
in singing one of his favorite songs.
The people coming in attracted the at
tention of the audience. Noticing it
the speaker said:
Now l want you to get down TO
business on this song. If you can't
sing this piece sing some other. Only
sing. Don't be looking at everybody
coming in. That's country. And don't
be gawking up here at me for l can
tend to myself. You just sing. I'll
sing the verses and you get in on the
chorus"
The congregation was the largest of
any that has yet been in attendance
at the special services. The lower part
of the church was filled to overlooking
and there were many seated in the
galleries..
There will be no services at Trinity
Church to-day. At 4 o'clock Rev. Lin
coin Mcconnell will preach special
sermon before the garrison at Fort
Screven. There will be no service at
night. Rev. A. NJ. Williams deciding
that it would be best to do away with
the service Saturday.
On Sunday morning Mr.. Mcconnell
will preach a special sermon to pa
preach a special sermon to men. in
the theater from the topic, THE Psy-
chology of Sin, or Why Our Young
Men Fall" This service will be under
the auspices of the Y M. C. A. At
the service last night at Trinity Church,
Rev. Mr.. Mcconnell announced the
special meeting for men on Sunday in
his characteristic way.
con Sunday afternoon he said, II
am going to hold a special service for
men at the theater, and 1 hope there
will be a large attendance. 1 want
to talk to the men alone for can talk
to them better if 1 get them off by
themselves.
But l have one thing to ask of the
ladies'. Don't you have any of the
fellows up calling on you and sparkling
or going out driving on Sunday aft
ernoon with you. You send them over
to me and I'll return them to you bet
ter looking than ever"

OPEN CROSSING,
SOUTHSIDERS CRY
THIRTY-NINTH ST. DISCUSSED
AT A RALLY IN THE soUTHSIDE
LAST NIGHT.

Determination to Petition the Mem
Georgia Infirmary From Present
Site to Lot Near Battery Park.
There Were About $50 Present at
Meeting of the CIub-The Hall Was
EIabOrateIy Decorated and a Num-
Der of Speakers Were Heard.
BE is resolved that it is the sense
and intent of this party that the open
ing and grading of Thirty-ninth street
across the tracks of the Atlantic Coast
Line Railroad be done at once"
Such was one of the resolutions pass
ed unanimously last night at the big
rally of the Southside Administration
Club, held to celebrate the completion
of the renovation of the club rooms.
Several of the most important speak
ers of the evening dwelt on the neces-
sity of this work being done at once
and when the resolution was offered by
Mr.. Sam Platshek, it was passed with
out dissenting vote.
1t was determined by the city to open
this street across the Atlantic Coast
Line tracks at the beginning of the
year, but for some reason the matter
has been delayed. The Southsiders
are anxious to push the affair, until
the street is opened. 1t has already
been agreed upon by Council and the
delay is simply in having the work
done.
Want Infirmary Moved.
duced by Mr.. J. Robert Dreamer, was
passed. 1t amounts to a petition to
Council to remove the Georgia Infirm-
airy from it's present site, at Abercorn
and Thirty-sixth streets, to some one
OF the lots owned by the city near
Battery Park.
This resolution was as follows:
Whereas, the city of Savannah, ow-
ing to her large growth and increase
in population, is DESTROYS of affording
to her citizens every comfort and con-
venience, and as an incentive to build,
and as a relief to those who have all
ready built houses in the neighborhood,
BE it resolved by the Southside Ad-
ministration Club, That they petition
Council that they buy the land now
occupied by the Georgia Infirmary and
transfer said Georgia Infrmary to
some of the land owned by the city in
the vicinity of Battery Park"
Not the First Effort.
This is not the first effort that has
been made to have the Georgia In
Urinary moved. About a year ago,
similar effort was made, but nothing
was accomplished. The Southsiders
are very much in earnest this time,
both about the infirmary and about the
opening and grading of Thirty-ninth
street.
The meeting of the Southside Club
was one of the largest ever held, over
$50 being present. Among the speak
ers were Messrs. Ed. s. Abrams,
John Finney, w. L. Grayson, w. N.
Taylor Jonas Mendel, j. Robert
Dreamer, Sam Platshek and j. F.
Evans. The hall was deliberately dec
GRATED with palms, Southern smilax
and bamboo. A large vase of flowers
decorated the presidents table. A res
olution of thanks was passed for
Messrs. Karston, Rogers and Kiser
for the decorations. Alderman John
F. Glatigny, the president of the club,
presided. There were seventeen new
applications for membership received.
At the conclusion of the meeting re-
freshments were served.

BEST PAVED ROADS
IN THE COUNTRY.

Savannah has the best roads of any
city of it's size in America" said Coun-
ty Commissioner Wylly yesterday in
speaking of the new Moore avenue
pavement, which has come in for con-
siderable criticism.
Judge Wylly was rather of the opin-
ion that Savannahians should be
thankful for the many good roads,
without finding fault when one of them
is a trif1e rough. He thinks the
Moore avenue pavement will be in good
condition within a short time. The
