Establishments for the display of mems

waists. silk underwear, and in fact
everything appertaining to the business
of clothing for ladies and children.

ing of the floor space. The room just
completed is one of the prettiest in
the South. 1t is 60x90 well lighted.
and has perfect ventilation. 1t is
carpeted and provided with glass
cases made especially to display the

LITTLE BUSINESS
IN THE COURTS.
Everything at Court House Gave
Way to the Election.

Everything at Court House Gave
Way to the Election.
Everything at the Chatham County
Court House yesterday gave way to
the election and there was little bust
ness transacted. The Superior Court
held a short session in the morning
for the purpose of granting orders in
cases in which time was of great i'm
portance. The City Court held no ses-
sion at all.
The clerks kept their offices open
during the usual hours. Several small
cases were filed in the Superior Court.
The United States court, though not
affected by the election as closely as
are the other courts, did no business
and no cases were filed.
To-day the Superior Court will again
take up the hearing of criminal cases.
There are a number which have been
pending and which will come up to-
day and tomorrow. 1t is expected
that all the Jail cases will be disposed
of before next week.
The grand jury will hold a second
session tomorrow afternoon. At that
time the case of the negro who fired
at Patrolman Hicks will be investi-
gated, as we'll as several other cases
that have been sent up from Police
Court.
The City Court will hold it's usual
weekly criminal session. The docket
is a light one.

FIRE COMMITTEE NO POWER
IN FIREMEN'S MIDDLE.
Ordinance Leaves Placing of Men
Entirely With Chief and Mayor.

Ordinance Leaves Placing of Men
Entirely With Chief and Mayor.
Though the order making the trans
fers in the fire department was held
up expressly for the Fire Committee to
make an investigation. The committee
has nothing at all to do with the mat
ter according to the ORDINANCE gov
erning the department, and it is now
squarely up to Mayor Myers to approve
or not approve the order.
The section of the ordinance relating
to the stationing of the men at the va
rious houses makes this a part of the
duty Of the superintendent, though the
ordinance provides that the Mayor
must approve the superintendent or
der. The ordinance reads as follows:
He, (the superintendent, shall as
sign the officers and men to the engine
house and apparatus with which they
are to serve. all such assignments, be-
ing first approved by the Mayor"
This section of the ordinance takes
the matter entirely out of the hands
of the committee. The superintendent
has made the assignments and they
have been held up by the Mayor. IN
til the Mayor approves them they can
not 60 into effect. The matter Will
probably be adjusted within the next
one or two days. 1t is thought that
some of the transfers will be made
and some of them won't. Foreman
Campos and Engineer T. V. Founder
rendered their designations to Alder
man GarfunkeI, acting chairman of
the Fire Committee, with the under
standing that if the order making the
transfers went into effect they were
to be handed to the Mayor. The res
ignations are still in the alderman's
hands, but are not to be handed to the
Mayor unless the transfers are made.
Foreman Porter Mcfarland also in
tended to hand in his resignation, but
he learned that the order had been
held up before he got it ready.
Unless the Mayor approves, the su-
perintendent can make no transfers.
1t is thought, however, the matter will
be adjusted. The Mayor and the su-
perintendent are likely to agree on the
changes that are to be made, but it is
not believed that all of the transfers
planned in the first order, will be put
into effect.

JUNG LING KICKED
ON THE JAIL FARE.
And Department of Justice Ordered
Chinese Food for Him.

@AhN GU
Chinese Food for Him.
Jung Ling, who is being held in the
Chatham county jail for deportation,
will in future be served with Chinese
viands and this by order of the De-
partment of Justice at Washington.
Ling, who has been in Jail for some
time, is being held until the depart
ment can gather up a large party Of
Cinnamon, when the whole crowd will
be sent to San Francisco and thence
to China.
Lingering in jail. the Chinaman tired
of the American food and complained
to his fellow countrymen who called to
see him. The Cinnamon called upon
Ling's lawyers, Mr.. Ed II. Abrahams
and Mr. John Rourke, Jr., and these
gentlemen wrote to the department in
Washington. explaining the situation,
which Ling has summed up, "As
enoughee to eat, but me no can eatee."
In due process of time. the Depart
ment of Justice wrote to the United
States marshal at Macon and the mar
shall wrote TO the Jail authorities here
yesterday. Ling must be given Chi
nese food. Fortunately for the jail
officials, there is a Chinese restaurant
here and in future Ling's meals are to

TENANTS READY
TO VACATE STORES
That Are to Be Torn Down Where
Bank Building Is Going.

All the tenants of the National Bank
property at Bull and Broughton streets
are preparing to move out to make
way for the new building. Most of
them have already opened their new
stores, but are keeping their old places
of business open yet. The Estill News
Depot is the only one that has closed
up its old place.
O'COnnor's book store, Desbouillons'
jewelry store Masterson's cigar stand
and A. S. Nichols shoe store are all
doing business in the old stands yet,
though they are all ready to get out
on short notice now. Most of them
will probably remain in the old stores
until about the 18th. The work of de-
molishment will probably be started
about that date to make way for the
lew building. Mr.. Nichols said yester-
day that he had hoped to be able to
stay in the old store for another year.
He had been there for twenty-nine
years and three months, and his father
before him had been there for twenty
years. He wants to finish out the fifty
years in one location.

TWO NEW STATIONS TO
COVER COTTON FIELD.

The Weather Bureau, acting under
the Department of Agriculture, has
just issued an order authorizing the
establishing of two new cotton region
stations. One of the stations will be
at Madison, Fla, and the other at
Lake City, in the same state. The es-
tablishment of these two stations was
requested by the Savannah Cotton
Exchange in order that, together with
the station at Gainesville, the sea is
land cotton belt of Florida might be
better covered. Including the new
stations there are now thirteen sub
stations in the district in charge of
Mr.. H. B. Boyer, the official in charge
of the local Weather Bureau. The dis
trict stretches from Millen on the north
to Gainesville on the south.

FELL THROUGH STEPS:
CONTRACTED MALARIA.
Unusual Result of Defective Board
in Flight OF steps.


Suit for damages in the sum of $1,000
was instituted yesterday in the Supe-
rior Court by Lucy c. Bohnefeld
against Emma Bullock. The suit was
filed by Attorney Simon y. Gazan. The
circumstances alleged are rather I'M
usual, inasmuch as the contraction of
malarfal fever is given as one of the
indirect results of falling through a
hole in the steps. The particulars Of
the case. as set forth in the petition
of the plaintiff are as follows:
The defendant is the owner Of that
piece Of property known as No Jos
President street, east, and the plaintiff
leased the property. or a portion of it.
Recently she noticed that the steps
leading TO the back yard were defec-
tive and notified the owner of the
property, also asked that the steps be
improved. The agent of the owner
then called, jumped up and down on
the steps, and pronounced them per-
fectly safe and not in need of repairs.
A short time afterwards while Mrs.
Bohnefeld was going down the steps
one of the boards turned with her, and
she fell through into the box of the
steps, injuring one of her legs severe
ly. AS a result of the injury she was
compelled TO employ medical aid, serv-
ants to look after the work that She
had been in the habit of doing, and
she has never yet fully recovered from
the injury. She cannot yet walk with
out limping
The remarkable part Of the petition,
however, is the statement that since
the accident the plaintiff has contract
ed malarial fever though before the
fall and the Earring of her nervous sys-
TEN she was perfectly sound and
healthy. 1t is inferred that if she had
never fallen she would not have con-
tracted the fever so the blame for this
trouble is also shifted on the Defend
ant.
Negligence is charged in that the
defendant nor her agent, paid the
proper attention to the defect in the
steps and did not make the repairs
to which the petitioner called her at
tention. The petitioner claims that at
the time of the accident she was exer-
cising all due care and caution and
was in no way to blame for the break
ing of the steps. In consideration Of
the injury and the costs incurred she
asks damages in the sum of $1,000.

SWITCH ENGINE STRUCK
PULLMAN CAR TOO HARD.

BY failure Of the engineer to cor
rectly guage the distance between a
switch engine and a Pullman car, the
engine struck a sleeper on No. 40 of
the Coast Line yesterday morning with
unusual force in the Union Station.
The Pullman was a through car from
Florida to New York. The force of the
blow smashed the drawhead Of the
Pullman, putting it out of business.
The passengers were asleep when the
shock was felt. They were given the
option Of transferring or of remaining
in the sleeper until the afternoon train.
All chose to remain and went back
TO bed. They were later transferred
TO another sleeper.

IN FEAR OF HUSBAND
SHE FLED TO MOTHER.
And Now Elise InfRntinO Begins
Proceedings for Divorce.

Proceedings for Divorce.
Elise Infantino has instituted pro-
ceedings for divorce from her husband
Donald Infantino. The case was filed
yesterday in the Superior Court by At
torney Robert L. Coding. The di-
vorce is asked on grounds of cruel
treatment.
Mrs. Infantino alleges that she and
Donald Infantino were married in De-
cember, 1902. At that time she WAS
very young and her condition was such
that IL called for the best of care and
attention on the part Of her husband
Instead of according her this treat
ment, she claims he was harsh and
cruel and at last became so violent i'm
his actions toward her that fearing he
would either kill her or do her great
bodily harm. she left him and returned
to her mothers home. She says she
is In fear OF him. and believes IL would
be. dangerous for her to attempt TO
continue to live with him.
The libel was given to a deputy sher-
III to serve but after diligent search.
Infantino could not be located.

CHILDREN ARE BEING
SEATED IN SCHOOLS.
Waiting List Is Being Rapidly Re-
duced Through Transfers.


The principal work now being car
ried on by Supt. Otis Ashmore and
the principals of the Savannah schools
is arranging accommodations for chill
dren who have thus far been kept on
the waiting list. Many were given seats
yesterday and others will be provided
for to-day and tomorrow. In nearly
all the schools there is plenty of room
in the higher grades, the chief difficult
ty being to furnish room in the First
Grade.
BY means of the transfer system
many children who could not be given
seats in their own school have been
accommodated in other buildings.
Those on the waiting list at the Cathe-
dral School have been given places, in
many instances, in one of the Chatham
schools. Some of the children who be-
long to the Barnard Street School
have been shifted to Massie School. By
similar engagements the congestion
throughout the city has been material
ly relieved, save in the First Grade at
the Anderson Street School. Even this
has been greatly lessened, though the
waiting list of this school is still large.
Supt. Ashmore desires to emphasize
the fact that though there is scarcely
any room in the First Grade that
nearly all can be given places in the
higher grades. Parents having chill
dren that they desire to enter the
schools should give their names at
once to Mr.. Ashmore. Children on
the waiting list will be given seats,
as seats appear, in the order in which
their applications have been received,
so that the earlier the application for
a seat is made the better the chance of
securing a place.

ELECTION WAS
VERY QUIET ONE
ALL AMENDMENTS ADOPTED.
TOTAL VOTE IN CHATHAM COUNTY
WAS 4.52O

Almost All the Votes Were for the
Proposed Amendments, One Dis
trict Alone Developing Oppose
ton worthy of NOte-LarEest Vote
Was POIIed in the Fourth, Though
in All the Districts the Vote Was
Larger Than Had Been Expected.
Many said 1t Was the Quietest
Election Ever Held in Savannah.
The election yesterday passed Oft
very quietly, though a large vote was
polled, considering the fact that there
was no opposition to any Of the can
didates. All the proposed amendments
TO the constitution received a large
majority of the vote, the tickets be-
ing voted almost solid for them ex-
cept in one district.
The total number of votes cast was
4,520 the Fourth district leading with
1857. The First polled the next larg-
est vote. 970. In the Fourth Their
were I05 votes against the constitu-
tional amendments and in the Sec
ond there were Z. In the First there
were three votes against the amend
ment limiting the state tax rate, and
one against the amendment providing
for local school taxation. All the other
votes cast were for the amendments.
Votes by Districts.
Following is the vote as cast in the
various boxes:
First District. Box No. 1-46S.
First District Box No. SOP.
Second District-749.
Third District-9O1.
Fourth District, Box No. $50.
Fourth District. Box No. 2-74.
Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Dis
tricts-303.
The tickets were voted straight in
almost every instance, making the total
for each candidate the same. All of the
los votes, which were cast against the
amendments in the Fourth district,
were in Box No. l.
Was no Disorder.
The election was conducted without
the slightest disorder. The voting was
slow, few people being around the polls
at any one time, and the policemen on
duty there had very little to do. Sew
eral of the old-timers said it was the
quietest election they had ever seen in
Savannah.
The amendments voted on were to
limit the ad valorem tax of the state
TO mills to provide for local taxation
for public schools, to limit the number
of representatives to 1873 and to make
the number of counties in the state
145 Except these amendments there
was nothing to cause interest in the
election. The politicians, however, de-
sired to see large vote polled, as it
is thought Georgias vote in this cleo
ton may have some influence in the
coming national contest.

CRIPPLED BEGGAR TRIED
TO TRIP UP LADIES'
Detective Wall Took Him in Charge
and Locked Him Up.

and Locked Him Up.
For attempting to trip up people who
did not stop to give him aims and for
being otherwise disorderly, a beggar.
who refused to give any name, was ar
rested on Broughton street, between
Bull and Whitaker streets, early last
night by Detective Frank Wall. He
was entered on the police docket as
John Doe and will be given a hearing
before the Recorder this morning.
Detective Wall says the beggar had
been drinking and that he attempted
to trip up several ladies who were
passing. Begging on the streets is pro-
hibited by the city ordinance, anyway,
so the officer lost no time in sending
the man in. The beggar had evidently
had good day, for he had about 81
in pennies, nickels and dimes on him.
He Will probably be made to leave
town. He claims that he is paralyed.
