FEW BUYERS AT
NOVEMBER SALES.
HaberSham and Congress Street
Property Brought $4,250.

Habersham and Congress Street
Property Brought $4,250.
There were few prospective buyers
at the November sales conducted at
the Court House yesterday, and there
was a consequent lack of spirited bid
ding.
Deputy Sheriff L. L. Meldrim, sold
several small pieces of property for
taxes.
Mr.. C. H. Dorset disposed of two
lots, and 4 on the Ogeechee road, near
the Savannah and Charleston Railway,
4Ox455 feet, for $500, also a 94-acre
farm in the same vicinity. All of this
was sold to Mr.. L. B. Shuman. The
price paid for the farm was 1915. This
property was part of the estate of
Mrs. Ida l.. Monroe.
Mr.. 1. D. LaRoche sold 165 shares
of the Peoples Investment Company to
Mr.. ]. S. Collins for $2,250. also the
property situated at the southwest cor

The North and South Steamship
Company announced yesterday the adj

Choir Line of steamers between Savan-
nah and New York. the addition to. be
made at once so the second ship will
leave this port for New York on its
first trip Nov. II. The new ship, also
owned by the Red Anchor Line, is the
David, a vessel of approximately the
size of the first ship put on this route,
the Santurce, which has been. employ
ed on the run now for several months
Through the addition of the new ship
the company will be able to make
sailings from Savannah every five or
six days. The David is now at Jack
sonville, but is expected here about
the middle of the month.
The addition to the line is made
necessary, Mr.. Murray NJ. Stewart of
Stewart G. Co., general agents, says,
because of the increased business that
is offering at this port. Some idea Of
the character and amount of this may
be gathered from the size and nature
of the cargo with which the Santurce
sailed yesterday, which was as fol-
lows: APPS barrels spirits of turpen-
tine and rosin, 70 barrels of pine tar,
100000 shingles, As bales of cotton, and
$50. 900 feet of yellow pine lumber.

shortly After Assassination of
Won PIehve-Listens to Translated
Accounts of War with Much In
teress.
Fearing he would be impressed into
service to fight for the possession of
Manchuria, Jacob Helfand, a subject
of Gar Nicolas fled the country
and is now a resident of Savannah. the
guest of his brother-in-law, Mr.. Aaron
Rauzin. a former member of the Sa-
vannah police department.
Mr.. Helfand speaks not a word of
English, but with his brother-in-law
acting as interpreter, talks interest
ingly of the war which is now being
waged. and of the assassination of
Baron Won Plehve.
He served four years in the Russian
army, and fearing he might be called
back to service he fed to America
with a number of others who We're
able to leave. Helfand is the son of
a well-to-do lawyer in Minsk, his ma
tive home, and had a Governors
pass" which enabled him to leave the
country. He left his home shortly aft
er the assassination of Won PlehVe. He
states there was great rejoicing among
every class of Russians when the
Baron was assassinated.
lit e
Helfand says the soldiers fight with
no spirit, particularly the Jews. VINO
oppose the possession of Manchuria,
knowing if it falls into the hands of
the Russians they will be debarred
from engaging in business there,
which will not be the case if the
japanese obtain possession.
In fact. he says, the majority of
those now bearing Russian arms want
to see the Japs win. Japanese domin-
ion in Manchuria, means a more liberal
policy than would result under Russian
rule, and there would not be the same
stringent restrictions on trade. espe-
cially as regards the Jews.
Helfand says the commissions in the
Russian aEmy are dished out to young
men who have but one ambition, that
of riotous living with little heed of the
great task before them.
He listens with great interest to the
translation of the daily press accounts
of the progress of the struggle be-
tween the laps and the Russians.
Some time ago Mr.. Rauzen received
letter from Minsk in which it was
stated that two of his cousins. who
were members of the Russian army,
had been captured by the Japanese

GOVERNMENT WANTS LAND
CLAIMS 1T PAID FOR.
Interesting Suits in Federal Courts
Certain TO Follow.

Col James B. Quinn. in charge of
the river and harbor Improvements for
the Savannah district. received yester-
day claims from the government which
have been referred to the several de-
partments. with final returns to the
department here.
1t is believed they will finally result
in the governments claiming certain
lands which have been the basis of
suits against the government, where
fees have been paid as result of
judgment for damages resulting from
the harbor improvements.
This matter has been before the pub
lie on several occasions, but IL has now
reached definite shape and procedure
will be taken in the federal courts.
The claims and papers in several cases
were received by Col. Quinn with their
seventh Endorsement. The particular
case which brought the matter to
head was that of a Mr.. Williams, who
was proceeding against the govern
ment for alleged damages to his prop
erty through the harbor improve
ments here.
During the tendency of his claim
Mr.. Williams sold the land to Mr.. A.
H. Hayward. The case was carried to
the Supreme Court, and Mr.. Williams
was AWARDED SllsDuU udIidSeSs OiAuCt
this payment, which it is claimed was
the value of the land the government
now claims the land, and Mr.. Hey
ward will have to look to Mr.. Will
liams for redress.
Col. Quinn stated he did not know
just what method would be followed
in obtaining possession of the lands
which had been the basis of suits
against the government for damages
as a result of overflows, which it was
claimed, We're occasioned by the inn
provements to the harbor here. In
many instances the claimed value
of the lands damaged was paid, and
the owners continued using the land
for agricultural purposes
If the courts decide that the govern
ment is entitled to these lands it will
involve thousands of acres along the
Savannah river for miles north of Sa
vannah, and many of those who have
double revenue will lose their land, or
perhaps will be required to return the
amount of money paid them for dam
ages.
The case presents an interesting
problem, and the outcome will be
watched with interest, especially in
this vicinity.

MAYOR NOT SATISFIED
WITH ClTY'S FINANCES.
Thinks There should BE About
$4,000 More on Hand.

Thinks There should he About
$5O,00O More ON Hand.
Mayor Myers and Alderman Dixon,
the chairman of the Finance Commit
tee, of City Council will have con-
ference within the next few days in re-
gard to the financial condition OF. the
city. Although the treasury has about
$4,000 more in it than at the same
time last year, Mayor Myers is not sat
isfied.
He says there should be $4,000 or
100000 more on hand than the city
had at this time in 1904. He thinks
people must be paying their taxes too
slow. During the present year about
100000 was received by the city from
the sale of land, yet now there is only
$4,000 more on hand than was had
last year.
The Mayor says the expenses on the
City Hall have not been as heavy as
was anticipated and that nothing worth
counting has yet been spent on the
subway. Considering these facts, he
thinks the city should have more mon
ey on hand he will talk the mat
ter over with the chairman of the
Finance Committee and steps to make
people pay their taxes more promptly
will doubtless be taken.

A BRUTE OPERA COMPANY.

Mr.. w. o.. Harrington, general
agent for Gentry Bros. famous trained
animal shows. is in town. Mr.. Tark-
ington is here ahead of the show,
which is booked for four perform
ances in Savannah on Nov. and s.
He is a fluent tallSer and an interest
ing Snowman. When asked what the
feature Of the show was this season
he unhesitatingly replied: "A Brute
Opera Company"
He was politely asked to quit his
jcshing. The writer was willing to adj
NIT that the Gentry Bros. have a great
show-a wonderful show, in fact, but
a brute opera company struck him as
being among the things impossible.
Then Mr.. Harrington became indus
trious. He pulled a hundred newspaper
clippings from his clothes--clippings
from Boston, New York city and Chi
cago papers. and sure enough there
were long accounts of this brute opera
company, and the papers devoted col
umns to It. 1T took five years to
break those ponies" said the advance
man, "and the Gentry Bros. are out
with a $1,000 challenge TO any show
man in the world who will produce
their equal" The Brute Opera Com
pany and the rest OF the Gentry An
imal actors will arrive VIA special

Members said They Would Do
Everything Possible for Command.
The Oglethorpe Light Infantry, Com
psny 1. First Regiment Infantry.'
Georgia State Troops, held a special
meeting last night over which Second
Lieutenant Robert A. Cox presided.
In addition to the active or enlisted
men. there were present a goodly num-
Der of war veterans. honorary and
and other non-enlisted members of the
corps.
1t had been generally reported that
it was the intention Of the company
at this meeting to withdrawn from
the state service. but no proposition
of that character was suggested. The
discussion to some extent had a bear
ing on the late affair at Statesboro,
though that was not mentioned, ex-
cent incidentally.
Several resolutions were offered,
discussed and withdrawn. and
it was finally unanimously re-
solved that the members present
pledge themselves to do all in their
power to support and build up the
company, and the meeting adjourned.
Among those present were former
captains of the Oglethorpes, Col. G.. A.
Gordon, Maj. W. S. Rockwell and
Capt. David c. Barrow, and honorary
and veteran members, Col. J. H. Es-
till, Lieut.. H. A. Crane, Lieut.. ]. H.
Butner. Veteran Lewis Lippman, and
others.
Capt. Hitch was not present at the
meeting, but the statement was made
on his behalf by a representative that
he remained away in order to permit
the company to discuss its affair free
ly and unrestrainedly. He did not de-
sire that any further action be taken
by the company to sustain his course
at Statesboro, believing it had shown
in having passed commendatory reso-
lutions some time ago. and in having
elected him an honorary member of
the command after the verdict of the
court martial had been rendered, that
he had its Endorsement.

During the hearing of the case Grant.
who was fined by Judge Cam several
days ago for contempt, stated on being
questioned for the purpose of
Impeachment. that he had served a
term on the chaingang, but had been
released before his time was up for
good behavior. and had been allowed
more than the legal number of days on
account of carpenter work which he
had done at the camp.
Judge. Cam disallowed impeachment
procedure unless IL were in evidence
relative to the case but when Grant
had finished his testimony he closely
questioned the witness as to his state
ment that he had been allowed extra
time for his carpenter work at the
camp. When asked if he had been
allowed other than the regular short
ening of sentence for good behavior,
Grant stated he was told he was all
lowed more than the usual number of
days.

County Commissioners was sent for,
