LUMBER COMBINATION
HAS BEEN BROKEN.
And Prices Have Consequently Fall
en- Twenty Per Cent.

And Prices Have Consequently Fall
en- Twenty Per Cent.
The lumber combination in Savan-
nah. so far as the fixing of prices is
concerned, has been broken.
1t was agreed by the members Of
the Lumber Dealers Association last
month to let every member fix his own
prices. The rule went into effect March
/ and since then the prices on lumber
have dropped about 20 per cent.
A member of the combination said
last night that this action was taken
as a result of public sentiment against
the combination. The public felt, he
said, that the association was simply
for the purpose of keeping up prices.
This he declared, was not true in the
sense that prices were put up beyond
reason. Only reasonable amount of
profit was allowed on the prices fixed
by the combination, the dealer stated.
Since the combination has stopped
making prices, they have dropped
back to where they We're before the
combination went into existence. The
prices now are about the same as they
were last year, when there was no
combination.
One lumber firm in the city has for
some time been making it's own prices
and has been underselling the combi-
nation 1t was thought that this
caused the abandonment Of the price
fixing, but member says not. What
ever the cause, the combination no
longer makes prices.

MADISON SQUARE HOTEL.
PRACTICALLY ASSURED.
Plans for Modern Apartment Hotel
to he Drawn Soon.

Although bids have not yet been
asked for the modern apartment hotel,
which it is proposed to erect on Charl-
ton and Bull streets, on Madison
Square, is practically assured.
The gentlemen who are interested
in the matter intend to take active
steps this week. and it is believed
that within a very short while the con-
tract for the building will be award
ed. The apartment house will be
modern in every respect, with plenty
of baths, and a well equipped and in
viting restaurant will be maintained
on the first floor.
The need of such a structure in Sa-
vannah has been commented upon for
d long while, and the present agitation
for a new hotel has again put the
promoters of the apartment hotel into
a state of activity The site selected
is regarded as an ideal one and those
who are interested are confident that
their undertaking will be crowned with
success. AS has been stated in the
Morning News, Mayor Myers believes
that the city is badly in need of a
new hotel building. and, too, the ho-
tells have been crowded during the
season that is just now closing.

ANOTHER SLUMP IN
EGGS LOOKED FOR.
Market Quoted Weak at 16c and
Receipts Very Heavy.

Market Quoted Weak at Ice and
Receipts Very Heavy.
"There is going to be another decid-
ed drop in the egg market" said well
known wholesale grocer yesterday,
unless the weather changes.
Already the wholesale market is
quoted weak at 16 cents, and there
is every indication that the price will
go lower"
May delivery eggs have been sold as
low as 1615 cents, and it would not be
a surprise if storage packed eggs
would not go in April at lower fig
ures.
The quotations on eggs on the New
York market control the entire coun-
try, and the receipts there during the
past week have been materially in
creased in volume, until they are far
ahead of this time last year. The
Southwest has been shipping freely, but
the Middle West has not opened up
yet, and from what local dealers can
learn from correspondence there will
be much larger proportion from that
section than was predicted thirty days
ago, hence the weakness.
The receipts of eggs for the past
week in New York city alone were 90,-
157 cases, which is a gain of 251 153
cases over the receipts of the previous
six days.
The consumption does not seem to
have kept pace with the receipts, and
for this reason there has been some
accumulation on the hands of the New
York dealers.
Savannah dealers report that the in
crease in shipments from contiguous
points is the heaviest known in years.
One wholesale grocer received three
express wagon loads of eggs one DAY
during the latter part of the week.
Eggs are selling at retail at IS cents
a dozen, but unless the market shows
considerable strength in the next few
days, housewives will be able to buy
the fruit" at lower figures.
There has been practically no change
in the butter situation during the
past week. All grades are in firm re-
quest, and wholesale dealers have in
some instances been able to get one
half cent above the market for the
very finest grades.

THUNDERBOLT CARS
C0LLIDED ON CURVE.
Passengers Were shaken Up, but No
One Seriously Injured.

Passengers Were shaken Up, but No
One Seriously Injured.
Two of the long. fifteen bench cars
of the Savannah Electric Company
smashed together late yesterday after
noon at Thunderbolt, on the sharp
curve between the ice plant and the
Casino.
The car coming into the CITY was
crowded at the time. and the passen-
gers were considerably shaken mp,
though no one was seriously injured.
Mrs. Everett. who lives at Thunder
holt had her ankle badly sprained. II
is thought she injured it in jumping
from the car.
The cars ran together on the curve
just beyond the ice plant. Owing to
the sharpness of the curve, the motor
men could not see each other until
they were almost together. Brakes
We're plt on at once. but the cars
could not oe stopped in time. 1t is
a single track at this point, the only
stretch on the Thunderbolt line.
The cars themselves were damaged
some, though not seriously. One OF
the cars continued in operation after
the accident. though the other had TO
be taken off. The front part of the
ear was smashed in and the truck was
injured.
The collision was the first that the
street railway company has had at
Thunderbolt in two years.

INSPECTOR TO DECIDE
If CHINKS MUST GO.
Government Will Take No Action
Until Report Has Been Made.

Government Will Take No Action
Until Report Has Been Made.
Whether or not the Savannah Celes-
tials will be rounded up and ordered
to produce certificates will depend en-
tirely upon the United States Chinese
inspectors. No action has as yet been
brought before the court, and unless
the inspector should cause the arrest
of one of the local Cinnamon, there
will be no action.
Who the inspector is is not stated
by the officials attending court, but it
is understood that he is working in
this district. Judge Newman, presid-
ing in the Northern district of Geor-
gia, has had one man arrested in his
district And this man CHANGED to be
his honor's laundry man. Unless the
Chink in question can produce his GER
tificate he must go, despite his claim
that he is laundryman for the court.
Under the recent exclusion act, the
Chinese who are laborers shall not be
admitted to this country. All who were
admitted previous to the passage of
this act were furnished with certifl-
Gates, and unless they can produce
these when the inspector calls, one of
the marshals in this district will take
them to Frisco and thence transport
them back to their ancient kingdom.
Merchants are not barred under the ex-
clusion act.
The inspectors carry on the work
with the utmost secrecy, and until the
marshal is called upon to make an
arrest, the court officials know moth
ing of any Investigations which may
be going on. The inspectors work un-
der the same plans as the secret serv-
ice men.

WAS PURSUED BY
AN IMAGINARY MOB.
Man Appealed to Police and Was
Locked Up on Insanity Charge.

LOckeu I'D On ChaNfsC'
"They are right after me-" said a
nervous looking man last night as he
hurriedly entered police headquarters.
"They will get me and they will lynch
me-"
what do they want to lynch you
for?" he was asked by an officer. who
realized that the man was insane.
The man told of crime he said he
had committed twenty-six years ago.
He is apparently only about that age,
and gives his age as 2S. His crime
must therefore have been committed
when he was only two years old. Aft
er, telling of his imaginary crime, he
exclaimed: You know a brute like
that can't live"
The police decided that the man must
be insane. He did not appear to have
been drinking at all. He was taken
in charge and will be held for few
days to see if his condition improves.
A physician will be called in to make
an examination to-day.
The man gave his name as e. Copay.
One of the officers who was present
when the man was taken in charge,
said he had known CopaY by sight
for several months. The officer does
not know whether Copay is the mans
name or not. He does know, however,
that he has been employed on one of
the tug boats for some time.

EGAN AS PRESIDENT
OF NEW SHORT LINE.
Persistent RumOr Gives Him Place
But He Denies 1t.

But He Denies 1t.
John NJ. Egan. president of the
Apalachicola Northern Railway after
April /.
With persistence this statement is
being made throughout the state. But
Mr.. Egan says there is absolutely moth
ing in the report. His service with
the Central. it is true, will be at an
end on April l.
The Apalachicola Northern is a road
yet to be built, but all plans have been
drawn and the actual work will be
commenced in a few days. The road
will run from River Junction, Fla, to
Apalachicola with a branch road to
Quincy.
This road will run through the best
portion of Florida and a country as
yet practically undeveloped. There
are sixty miles of virgin timber to be
gone through, and fifty miles of it
has not a house in sight. This will
be the only railroad entering Apdlachi-
cola and will connect at River juno
ton with the Seaboard Air Line, Lhe
Pensacola and Atlantic division of the
Louisville and Nashville, and the Ala
bama Midland division of the Atlantic
Coast Line.
Messrs. j. H. Trump, H. o. Glenn
ents and C. D. Duffy, of the Mime
sofa Lumber Company, of Valdosta,
are leading promoters in the new road.
They have secured options on large
quantities of the timber and will prob
ably establish mills along the line of
road. 1t is expected that the new
road will be one of the busiest short
lines in that section. 1t will be 112
miles long, counting the branches.

ELKS TO GO WITH
T0M0CHICHI CLUB.
Have Leased Quarters on Third
Floor of Guards ArmOry.

Have Leased Quarters ON Third
Floor of Guards ArmOry.
Savannah Lodge of Elks will occupy
quarters in the Guards Armory. hav-
ing arranged to sublet from the Tomo-
chichi Club the third floor of the build
ing, that Immediately above the quar-
ters of the Tomochichi Club.
This matter was decided yesterday
at meeting of representatives Of
the organizations interested. and it
is probable that all the minor details
of the agreement will be settled to-
day, and the papers drawn up and
signed
1t is understood that the Elks have
been given the option of a lease on
the premises for one, two or three
years at a rental of $45 a month, the
lessees to fit up the rooms themselves,
and to pay the bills for lighting. 1t
is believed too, that the agreement
embodies a clause by which the mem
bers of the Elks can become members
of the club at a special rate, much
on the plan that is now in operation
between the Georgia Hussars and the
Hibernian Society and the St. Andrews
Society.
Ihe ElkS VIII Degln the work OF NJ
ting up their new quarters at once,
so as to have them in readiness by the
time the state convention of the order
is held in June 1t has been stated
by the officers of the lodge that no eX-
pense would be spared to make their
new home, when one was secured, one
of the handsomest, not only in the
city, but in the state. 1t was then
the plan to build a home, but it is
probable that the same views as to fit
ting and equipment will be carried out
in the leased quarters.
The floor on which the Elks will es-
tablish themselves was at one time
used by the Tomochichi Club for it's
library, and for some of the other de-
partments of the organization. Re-
Gently it has not been used at ALL
which means that the club will not
be in the least inconvenienced by a
curtailment of room under the new
arrangement and will, at the same
time, add considerably to it's income
from the source of the rent alone,
without considering the gain that may
be made to the membership of the
club.

BACK FROM BRUNSWICK
AFTER A HARD TRIP.
Property of First Division of Naval
Reserves Was Brought.

After a disagreeable and tiresome
trip Commander H. S. Colding, Lieut..
c. w. Saussy, Mr.. w. NJ. Kidwell and
a detachment of Naval Reserves
reached Savannah from Brunswick
late yesterday afternoon on a cutter
towed by the launch Lottie w.
Commander Colding and party went
to Brunswick to take charge of the
possessions of the disbanded First Di-
vision of the Naval Battalion. The
property turned over to Commander
Colding was brought to this city. The
party left Brunswick at noon, but ran
into a fog in Altamaha Sound.
Commander Colding had taken with
him supply of charts and it was nee
essary for him to use the compass and
refer to the charts. He declared that
the weather was very threa tening, and
but for the fact that he travelled this
route some years ago, and is familiar
with it, he would have been compelled
to drop anchor. When the boats
reached Sapelo Sound the fog was still
heavy. ST. GATHERINGS Island was
reached early yesterday morning and
a stop of two hours was made for
fresh water.
When the Lottie w. passed Isle of
Hope and Thunderbolt salutes were fir
ed. Lieut.. V. H. Wortham received a
telephone message that the party was
nearing Savannah and with a number
of reserves went in a rowboat. He
met the launch at Fort Oglethorpe,
where the party was taken aboard the
Lottie w. Quite a number OF people
were at the boat house at the foot of
Drayton street to welcome the return
of the launch. A salute of eight guns
was fired as the launch entered the
harbor. Both the launch and the cut
ter were gayly bedecked with flags.
Cargo was discharged in the boat house
and the navy cutter stored away. The
cargo will be removed to-day to the
armOry.
The adjutant general has issued an
order changing the Savannah Division
from the Fourth to the First Division.
Included in the property turned over
by Lieutenant Commander Wrench to
Commander Colding was 30-foot
standard navy cutter, which had only
been in use by the Brunswick division
for a few months, having been made
especially for that division. Command
er Colding loaded a Hotchkiss rapid
fire cannon, fifty rifles, tenting, can
teens and other property into the cut
ter and said that there was room for
much more. The detachment of re-
serves occupied the cutter on the re-
turn trip, the boat being towed by the

THE RESORTS POPULAR
Large Crowds Visited ThunderbOlt
and Other Resorts.


An ideal sunny day, with the tenn
perature up, caused large crowds to
seek the pleasure resorts about the city
yesterday.
At Thunderbolt there was the larg-
est crowd that has appeared this sea-
son, car after car being crowded. At
the other resorts the crowds were not
so large, but all had number of Wis
itors. At the Casino the orchestra con-
cert was given. There were several
thousand people at the resort during
the day.
White Tiger, the part Indian from
Florida, who is on his way to Wash
ington, gave an exhibition at Thun-
derbolt in the afternoon. He did a
number of strong man" acts. such as
breaking chains and bending iron bars.
After the exhibition he took up a COL
lection.
The cars to Isle of Hope and Mont
gomery were crowded and many peo-
pie spent the afternoon at these re-
sorts.
