growing to such proportions that the
commodious building is taxed very

would prove a failure. From its in

popularity and it can now be con
sidered as one of the fixtures of VAL

VAUGHAN WILL FORM
MUTUAL INSURANCE co.
To Do Work Himself If no One Else
viii Take 1t in Hand.

Mr.. F.. Wade Vaughan, secretary of
the Merchants Mutual Insurance Com
pany of Monroe, Ga, left the city last
night. Before going, he said, if the
business men of Savannah will not take
up the matter of organizing mutual
insurance company for this city he
will take the matter in hand himself
as he considers the opening for such
a company in Savannah an excellent
one.
Such a company, he said, has recent
ly been organized in Augusta, with
prominent and wealthy men at the back
of it, and another is now being plan
ned in Atlanta. He thinks that others
should be organized in other of the
chief cities of the state, and the lot
of them be combined under one man
agement, centrally located.
Before leaving the city, Mr.. Vaughan
had talk with Mayor Herman
Myers relative to the plan. Mr.. Myers
said he considered the necessity of a
mutual insurance company in Savan-
nah a very pressing one, and had rec
commended the formation of such a
company in his annual report. He
was not prepared to take the matter
of the organization up himself, but
promised to give the plan some fur

ton.

Says 1t Is Not Worthy of COnsidera-
The letter addressed to the Mayor
and members of City Council by M. T.
Lewman & Co. of Atlanta, in which it
ic charged they had been unjustly de-
prived of the contract to erect the new
City Hall on account of the influence
which Architect H. w. Witcover ex-
erted over the Mayor and Aldermen
was discussed at the City Exchange
yesterday.
Mayor Myers said the letter was not
worthy of consideration and that the
bid had been thrown out because it
did not comply with the specifications
furnished to all the contractors in ad-
vance. The Mayor said Mr.. Witcover
had no interest in who the contract
was awarded to and was only looking
after the city's welfare.
An alderman said Lewman was now
trying to create the impression that
had he submitted bid this time it
would have been as low as $160,000 and
this was only done in order to try to
make the public believe by awarding
the contract to any other bidder than
himself more money would be paid for
the construction of the City Hall.

AS a consequence of the killing of
5-year-old Adeline Neuslein by Mill
Haven trolley car Thursday afternoon
the Savannah Electric Company will
probably be forced to equip it's cars
with tenders.
In his last annual report to Council
Mayor Myers recommended that an or
dinance be passed requiring the street
railway company to provide it's cars
with tenders. 1t seems probable now
that this recommendation will be taken
up and that such an ordinance will be
passed.
The Morning News first published the
Mayors recommendation as to car
tenders. 1t was the intention of the
Mayor, who has been absent from the
city, to again take the matter up with
Council In his message Mayor Myers
said:
Another matter. of public safety that
is worthy of consideration by you is
the enactment and enforcement of an
ordinance requiring street cars to be
provided with the most improved
tenders Such a law is in operation
in d number of cities. Several acct
dents in Savannah during the past
year seem to point to the necessity of
such a law here.
With the exception of Aldermen Da-
want and Glatigny, who could not be
seen, an expression on the subject of
car tenders was secured from every
member of Council yesterday. A ma
jority of the aldermen said that they
favored tenders, and it is hardly likely
| now that the agitation will be allowed
to die.
Alderman oliver said: The cars
should be provided with tenders; most
decidedly, | think SO.
Alderman Grayson: 1 certainly think
the cars should have tenders. We
should do something to protect the lit
tie children.
Alderman McKenna: 1 think tenders
are necessary
Alderman Schroeder: 1 am very
much in favor of them.
Alderman Thomas l think we should
have tenders.
Alderman CAVITY: If they can get
the proper ones l am in favor of them.
Alderman Wright: If there is a
fender made that will save single life
1 am in favor of having them put in.

ored car Tenders. If they are to be used
it must be required that they be the
sort that will really protect life.

is best for the people.

they are any good.

FROM ASPHYXIATION.
Went to sleep with Gas Burning
and Woke just in Time.

anu WOKE just IN Time.
Patrolman John j. Deignan, who
lives at the corner of Mcguire and
River streets, came near being asphyx-
lated day before yesterday. and but
for the timely discovery made by
friends and the hasty summoning of
physicians he would now be dead.
officer Deignan went to sleep in his
room, leaving the gas burning. The
meter in the building had been out Of
repair for some time, and during the
day workmen turned the gas off and
sought the trouble They found the
meter nearly full of water, and after
repairing it turned the gas. on again
AS soon as they had turned the gas
off, the light in Mr.. Deignan's room
was extinguished, and when the gas
was turned on again it escaped, and
came very near suffocating him. He
woke and tried to attract the atten-
ton of others in the house, but failed.
He opened the door leading into a
hallway and fell PROSTATE in his room.
The escaping gas was shortly after
wards noticed by occupants of the
building. They discovered Deignan
on the floor in a semi-conscious condi-
ton and summoned medical aid. He
has fully recovered.
