MANY IMPROVEMENTS
PLANNED FOR De SOTO.
Popular Open Air Cafe to BE Inau-
gurated Next Week.

gurated Next Week.
Now that the tourist season is over,
the proprietors of the De Soto, Watson
& Powers, are turning their whole at
tention to the plans to be put into eff
feet for the comfort and convenience
of the general traveller and of summer
visitors. Next week they will open
the open air cafe on the south piazza
OF the hotel, which last season proved
so popular an innovation; they are put
ting up some $50 awnings over the win
dows on the southern and western ends
of the hotel, and will also place an
awning under the glass top of the sun
parlor
This part of the hotel proved one of
the most popular spots in it during the
winter, and the new arrangement will
make it quite as popular with the
summer guests, as the awning will
give it the effect of a ships deck, an
effect that will be heightened by the
southern breezes that will sweep
through the large windows.
one of the greatest improvements
will be the installation of a 100-foot
Ventilating stack, through which h
powerful electric fan will exhaust the
heated air of the basement, and thus
add materially to the comfort of that
part of the building, matter of much
consideration, as in this part of the
hotel is. situated one of the most pop
ular departments of the house, the
rathskeller. This has proved such an
attraction that the management is now
considering the adYisa bility of building
an entrance to it from the outside of
the building, an arrangement that
would be much more convenient for
outside trade than is the present ar
rangement. Plans are also on foot to
add several more bathrooms to the no.
tel.
During the past season a number of
handsome paintings were placed on ex-
hibition in the hotel; during the COM
ing season it is probable that large
number of new ones will be placed on
the walls. One of the most meritorious
of the paintings that were on exhibit
ton, that of Miss Franklin, whose sub
ject was a church scene, was sold to
q guest of the hotel, whose intention
is to present it to a new church in
Albany, N. Y. A recent letter from
Miss Franklin, who writes from Paris,
is to the effect that she has sent sew
eral of her later works, which may
be placed in the De Soto if the man
agement so desires.

Asks for n Conference.

Automobile Speedway Committee
Asks for n Conference.
At a meeting of the subcommittee
of the. Chamber of Commerce Com
mittee on Building the Automobile
Speedway, held yesterday afternoon, it
was decided to ask an appointment
for the sub committee with the repre-
sentatives of the city and also those
of the county. At these meetings the
members of the committee will put
their plans before the governing bodies
and ask what will be expected of
them in the way of help to build the
speedway.
The County Commissioners will be
asked to appropriate through the
county lands on the route proposed
for the speedway a strip not less than
100 feet in width, for right-of-way;
when the construction of the project
is assured to proceed to condemn for
rlght-of-way such lands as cannot
otherwise be secured at reasonable
cost; to supply the labor and tools
necessary for the construction of the
speedway; to appropriate a certain
sum for the purchase of materials and
for other purposes necessary for the
successful construction of the project;
to maintain the speedway and drive
way after construction.

Are Now in the Hands of the City,

Next Meeting.
The Gwinnett street subway is going
to be built at once, from the way
things look now. The specifications
have been approved by the Atlantic
Coast Line, the contract has been
drawn and an ordinance authorizing
the signing of the contract and the
carrying out of the work was intro
duced in Council last night and read
for the first time.
1t will be read at the next meeting
and passed, and then advertisements
for bids on the Work will be sent out.
Three copies of the contract and the
specifications and drawings were got
together yesterday. The Coast Limo
mas one, the savannah EIeClIlC SOlll-
pany another and the city the third.
All difficulties it is thought have at
last been removed.
The ordinance introduced in Council
came from the Committee of the
Whole. 1t recites that the grade cross
ing is a source of great danger, and
that it is desirable to eliminate it at
as early a date as possible. The con-
tract for the construction of the sub
way, the ordinance relates, has been
considered by Council and approved.
The Mayor is directed to sign the
contract in triplicate. One copy is to
go to the street railway, one to the
Coast Line and one to be kept by
the city. 1t is provided that when
the contract has been executed and
delivered to the interested parties, the
work shall be carried to completion
with all reasonable dispatch.
1t seems certain now that the sub
way will be started within short
time. The matter has been hanging
fire for months now and all the Off
Gals interested in the matter are anx-
ious to see the contract signed. The
work will probably be completed by the
last of the summer, possibly before.

Negroes Pistol Taken Away and as
He Ran Was Shot In the Back.
For a shooting ARRAY that took place
Sunday night on the Bay street extern
sion, which is likely to result fatally,
Pursey Young, a negro, % years of
age, was yesterday afternoon arrested
and locked up at police station. Henry
Sans, another negro, is the man shot,
and is in a very critical condition. He
was wounded in the back. and it Is
thought the bullet is near the kidneys.
Sans was at the home of GuSsle
Robertson, when five negroes entered.
He was overpowered and his pistol
taken from him. He was then told to
see how fast he could run down the
road. AS he started, one member OF
the party fired five shots after him,
one of them taking effect in his back.
Sans managed to get to his home,
which was only a short distance away,
and medical help was summoned.
Young denies that he is the man who
did the shooting, though he admits
helping take the gun away from Sans.
The identity of the man who shot mas
not been disclosed. rs

NO CHANGE IN STATUS
OF LIGHTHOUSE CASE.
Death of Mr.. Rauers Simply Makes
New Parties to the Case.

New Parties to the Oase'
There is no change in the status of
affairs regarding the establishment of
lighthouse by the government on
st. GATHERINGS Island. 1t was thought
by some that the death of Mr.. Jacob
Rauers, who owned the island, would
make a decided difference, but this is
said not to be the case The only diff
ference will be in the parties, the exec
ties in the place of Mr.. Rauers.
There is no disposition to give up
the land to the government for the
purpose for which it is desired. The
opposition by the late Mr.. Rauers to
such a course is well known, and it
is understood that the executrix and
executors of his estate will maintain
the same position. The circumstances
are familiar to readers of the Morn
ing News.
AT present matters are practically
at a standstill. When the testimony
was being taken during the last ses-
sion of the United States court be-
fore the appraisers appointed, Mr..
Leaken, who is looking after the in
terests of the government, announced
that he had obtained new evidence in
the question and asked that the hear
ing be postponed.
This was done, and since that time
no action has been taken. The pres
ent appraisers, the second set ap-
pointed-are Hon. Walter G. Charlton,
Mr.. F. x. Douglas and DR.. w. F.
Drummer.

SHELL PAVING
CAUSED TROUBLE.
IN CITY COUNCIL MEETING.
HALL STREET CONDEMNED, BUT
OTHER STREETS sIDETRACKED.

Mayor Said Condemnation Carries
Pavements-ResoIu by Alder
man Davant to Investigate COndi-
ton of Henry and JOnek Street
Was Referred to Committee Over
the Authors PrOtcst-AIderman
DaVant Alone Voted Not to Refer
II.
The wholesale condemnation of she'll
paved streets received a severe jolt in
Council last night. Mayor Myers took
the position that to condemn the pave
an obligation to provide the residents
along such street with a good pave
ment. 1t was upon a resolution intro
duced by Alderman Davant that the
fight was made.
Hall street had been reported upon
by the director of public works and
the city engineer, and a resolution
from'the Committee of the Whole con-
demning the shell pavement on that
street and stating that the street
should be paved as soon as practicable
had been passed. Alderman Davant
then introduced a resolution directing
the two officials to examine and report
upon the condition of Henry and Jones
streets. The resolution was identical
with the one passed two weeks ago
in regard to Hall street, with the ex-
ception of the names of the streets in
volved.
Mayor Myers said. when the resolu-
tion was read, that it contemplated
the expenditure of considerable money
and should be looked into carefully
before being passed. There Is not
enough money i'm the paving appro-
priation, the Mayor said, to pay for the
work
IF you condemn a pavement, you
should certainly provide another
pavement" asserted the Mayor.
Alderman Davant said in reply to q
question from the Mayor, that the res
olution did not contemplate the paving
at once. The Mayor insisted that the
money was not in the budget. Alder
man Dixon had asked when the mat
ter was first brought up if the paving
was to be done this year, but he had
received no reply.
Alderman Oliver stated that he fav-
ored letting all the shell streets alone,
and paving streets where there are no
pavements.
The Mayor suggested that the Ieso-
luton be referred TO the Committee of
the Whole, and Alderman Grayson
made motion to that effect. Alder
man Davant did not think a resolution
could be so referred. but the Mayor,
said he did not agree with him. AL
derman Davant then said he did not
think it parliamentary or good usage.
The Mayor explained that it might be
advisable to refer a resolution for IN
Vestigation.
The motion was put and every one
except Alderman Davant voted to re-
fer the resolution to the committee.

taken her in charge. She is a country
girl from near Millen. She came TO
Savannah only about two weeks ago
and was soon induced to go to the
Crittenton Home. She remained until
few days ago, when she came to the
city again and secured employment.
She worked for only two days, and
then went to a resort on Waldburg
street.
Disguised with the life she was
leading, she determined to put an end
to it, and bought the drug for that
purpose yesterday morning.
Sergt. Murphy arrived on the scene
yesterday morning soon after Patrol
man Clark had taken the girl in
charge. The sergeant sent her to po-

A representative of the Crittenton

The similar case brought against the

ness will come before them and all
of it can be disposed of in a short

pected matters may turn up which
will require some time in settling, but
this is regarded as improbable.
The communication from the Geor-

to Savannah roadways will probably
be presented for action. The com
