CAMBRIDGE DOCTORS DIFFER.
One of Them Creates Scene In the
Town Council.

cambridge, Ca, April 1.-At meet
ing of the City Council last night DIR.
r. L. Hicks was asked to be present
and show reasons why he had made
certain statements in an article pub
lished in the Democrat of Thursday
charging that hundreds of people are
sick'or dying in cambridge for want
of surface drainage One or more
deaths are occurring every week in
cambridge for want Of surface drain
age. Yet the town council of Balm
bridge have ignored these glaring facts.
They are spending thousands of dol
lars on a public park"
Other physicians who were asked to
be present and We're there, were Drs.
j. d. Chason, Toole, Berry, Morgan,
Cheatham and Chestnut. When asked
as to his statement as to the death
rate in cambridge, DIR. Hicks admitted
that he was wrong. The matter of
hygienic and sanitary conditions was
brought up and DIR. Chason made some
remarks. DIR. Hicks replied that the
doctors knew nothing about the hy-
gienic and sanitary conditions of the
city. DR.. ChaSon replied that the
statement was false, as the doctors
were paid to know such things, and
they did know them. Before DIR. Cha
son could sit down, DR.. Hicks got up
and reached into his inside coat
pocket, but was seized by Chief of
Police Smart.

PROPOSED SITE
OF RIFLE RANGE
DUE EAST OF GOLF CLUB.
LENGTH OF NEARLY 3 MILES FROM
FIRING LINE TO RIVER.

But One Obstacle Now In Way OF
ON Range Begun-This Objection
May he Removed Mt a Conference
of Interests to he Held Next Week.
city and County Jointly May
Harden Road to Lead Directly
From Eastern End of Perry st. to
Firing Line of Range.
Much regret was expressed yesterday
that the interests involved in the pro-
ject to secure a new rifle range for
the militia had not been able to reach
an agreement at the joint meeting the
day before so that work on the range
could be begun at once. 1t is hoped
that at the next conference, to be held
probably Wednesday, that more salts
factory results will be accomplished.
Tae committee representing the mill
tia, particularly Capt. w. G.. Austin,
has been untiring in its efforts to have
the new range built, and with fails end
in view, has expended an amount of
energy and accomplished an amount of
work that all interested in the project
would regret to see wasted. partic-
ularly as there is now but one obsta-
Gle in the way of a successful con-
summation of the plans that it has
taken so long to perfect. and which
promise a range that would he the
equal of any in the United States, and
which would be of value not only to
the militia, but to the business inter
ests OF the city as well, as it would
mean that many marksmer would be
attracted to the city because of 1t.
Location of Range.
The site selected for the new range
Is peculiarly adapted for the purpose.
1t lies a mile and a quarter directly
east of Bilbo canal, where the canal
Is crossed by what is known as the
old Jones road, and about 1000 yards
south of the Tybee track, with which
il is parallel, extending along the
Thigh land, which would form the
range proper, 1000 yards from the
firing line, at the extreme west of the
property, to a line of Confederate earth
works, which would form the back
stop, and then over a track of marsh
that extends to Wilmington river, dis
tant from the firing line nearly three
miles.
The width of the range is 1850 feet
allowing the following plan of targets
which has been adopted for use. should
the range be secured: Beginning al
the extreme right, four pistol targets
at % yards, four at so and four at
rs, 8 targets at 200 yards, s at 300

Valdosta, Ga, April Col Eben-
ezer Wakely who formerly resided in
Chicago, and who was president of the
American Free Silver clubs, and au-
thor of various books advocating free
coinage, says he believes Cleveland will
be the Democratic nominee for presi-
dent. He says, too, that Cleveland is
the logical candidate. and the best man
the Democrats can put up, now that
the money question has adjusted itself.
He thinks that Cleveland and Col
Fred. Grant would sweep the country.
The Democrats need a man on their
ticket, he says, with enough gold lace
and tinsel to catch the young military
element OF the West.
The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1904-04-02

s at 500, at 600 s at 500, at 900
and at 1000, extending from the last
named targets to the extreme left
of the range will be a space of $50
feet reserved for use in skirmish firing.
All firing will be done from a general
firing line, which means that all dan
ger is eliminated in the use
target be in use at the same
time.
Approaches Needed.
In order to make the range easy
of approach the committee of the mi
litia has suggested to a committee
representing City Council that the city
extend and harden Perry street as
far as Bilbo canal and that the coun-
ty authorities continue the work from
that point along the Jones road
through the Lawton property, through
the Golf Club grounds, which it en-
ters almost directly east and through
which it passes between the line of
old fortifcatons, which are now used
as bunkers, coming out to the west
of the golf links directly on the firing
line of the proposed range.
Both the city and the county au-
thorities are inclined to consider the
requests favorably especially as the
new range will be a permanency, and
long been needed, and can make eX-
cellent connections with other recent
ly improved roads that are much used.
The property owners who own the
rights of way are ready to donate
these largely on account of the rifle
range.
one of the principal connections with
the proposed road would be the Caus-
ten Bluff road, which it is intended TO
harden, and which would thus furnish
a continuous driveway over good roads
from the city to the range, then around
by the Golf Club and either to the
city, or to Thunderbolt via Moore ave-
nue. Such a road would be of great
convenience and benefit to the MEM
bers of the militia, the Golf Club and
the Forest City Gun Club, besides add
ing another good road to the use OF
automobilists.
BETTER Range Than Sea Grit.
How excellent a range the new one
will be, if perfected according to pres
ent plans, may be seen from the fact
that it win have a distinct advantage
over even so fine one as that at Sea
Grit, N. j., where many of the great
est matches of the country have been
shot in recent years.
One of the points of superiority will
be the general firing line, the lack of
which is the great drawback to the
vantage that the local range will have
is that it could be adapted to meet any
and all requirements.
In proof of this it is explained that
in case the National Trophy Shoot
be held here the targets can be so ar
ranged that forty teams can take part
in the contest at once.

BeveridGe EuIOgizes Roosevelt.
Mr.. Beverage replied, thanking Mr..
Simmons for the warning that the Re-
publican party must fight for it's life
in the next campaign. He referred to
his inquiry of Mr.. Simmons as to where
the corruption in the Postoffice Depart
ment originated and declared that he
had succeeded in securing the admis-
sion that the Postoffice Department
frauds had had their origin in a Demo-
cratic administration, and he congratu-
lated the country that the discovery
had been made at a time when there
was an administration possessed of
sufficient courage to apply the lancet
and let out the poison.
He then entered upon a eulogy of
President Roosevelt's leadership, say
ing that it had been so wise and pa
triotic as not only to command the
united support of his own party in the
Senate, but also to force division on
the Democratic side of the chamber.

he went on, has told US of candidates,
but not Of issues. We want it under

that we shall not only defend them,
but that we shall attack those who
attack them" He went on to say that

have a candidate is news to every
body, and he insisted that Mr.. Sim

us who he is" MIR. Beveridge appeal

Mr. Simmons responded, because / am
not myself enlightened as to what his

qualities will be-"

qualities and are looking for man
to locate them on-a bag of vague and

Mr.. Simmons: He'd make a very
good one, but 1 do not undertake to
say who the candidate will be-"
Mr.. Beveridge: THE Senator insists
on reticence as to Judge Parker; pos
sibly he will tell us whether it is his
fellowcitizen, Mr.. Hearst. What does
lie say 10 lidL!
Mr.. Simmons: IT have stated that I
had in mind the name of no particu-
lar man; l don't think the Senator
should press the inquiry further. The
Senator knows II is not proper that /
should attempt to name the man in
view of the fact that the Democratic
candidate will be nominated by the
Democratic convention, and not as the
result of the dictation of any boss"
Mr.. Beveridge: us you candidate
Judge Parker?"
THAT is a secret" answered Mr..
Simmons.
''wel. is it Mr.. Hearst?" again asked
Mr.. Beverage.

said Mr.. Simmons.
