COLLISION DIDN'T SCARE
NACOOCHEE'S PASSENGERS.
MIR. b. j. Apple Tells How FerrybOat
Princeton Was Struck.


Without anything to show that she
had punched hole in the side of the
ferryboat Princeton in North river last
Thursday afternoon, the steamship Ma
coochee of the Ocean Steamship Com
pany's line tied up at her dock yes
terday morning.
The passengers on the vessel did not
seem to think that there had been any
excitement at all. Some Of them did
not even know when the collision oc-
CURED. Mr.. B. ]. Apple, of HARRY &
Apple, was one of the few pas
sengers who witnessed the collision.
Mr.. Apple said that, although he was
looking all the while, he did not see
the scenes that were pictured by the
New York papers.
II was standing on the forward deck
of the Nacoochee with a gentleman
friend from Columbus said Mr.. APP
pie, when 1 looked forward and saw
the ferryboat making across the river,
heading directly in our path. Just as
1t got in front of us it seemed to stop,
and Capt. Lewis at once ordered the
engines of the Nacoochee reversed.
This was done before we had got
ton, but the momentum of the boat,
together with the tide flooding in the
direction in which we were going, car
ried us forward until we struck the
Princeton about midship, the prov of
the Nacoochee crashing into the wheel
house, and completely shattering the
wheel.
Il expected to see the Princeton
sink. One of the officers suggested
that the Nacoochee be allowed to stand
with her bow in the side of the ferry
boat, thinking that if it were pulled
out she would sink, but the engines
were already at work, and the ship
soon backed away. The ferryboat
listed over to one side, but otherwise
did not seem to be in distress.
There were about twenty-five pas
sengers on the Nacoochee and very
few of them knew of the accident I'M
til some time afterwards. There was
no perceptible shock to the Nacoochee,
and there did not appear to be any
demonstration on the Princeton. 1
doubt If there were more than twenty
five people aboard the ferryboat, and
as we steamed on down the harbor
ladies on the ferryboat waved their
handkerchiefs at u.s.
L did not hear or see any of the
escaping steam spoken of in newspa-
per accounts that 1 have seen, and 1
really did not think much of the acct
dent"

CHICAGO DOCTORS IDEA
DOES NOT TAKE HERE.
d.. Bevan Credited With Saying
Drugs Are Useless for Pneumonia.

d.. Bevan Credited With Saying
Drugs Are Useless for Pneumonia.
The leading physicians of Savannah
do not agree entirely with DR.. Arthur
Bevan, the celebrated physician of
Chicago, who in a statement at
meeting of physicians in Chicago, is
credited with having said that drugs
were useless in the treatment of pneu-
monia, and the sooner the medical pro-
fession acknowledged the fact and set
to work to discover some specific to
cure pneumonia it would be better for
all concerned.
When the statement was made, so
it seems from dispatches from Chica-
CO. the doctors at the meeting were
loud in their protests of the state
ment of DR.. Bevan, but finally were
forced to admit that there was no def
mite remedy known for pneumonia,
and that the only good they could ac-
complish was through the influence of
a doctor on the patient and the moral
effect of his presence.
A representative of the Morning
News visited ten Savannah physicians
and asked them about the statement
of DR.. Bevan. Not a single physician
was found who agreed with the Chi
cago physician entirely in the theory
which he advances. The physicians
for the most part requested that they
not be quoted.
DIR. Robert H. M. Dawharn, pro-
fessor in the New York Polytechnic
Medical School, of which the eminent
DR.. John Wyeth is connected, is spend
ing a few days at the De Soto and
when seen by a representative of the
Morning News and asked for an inter-
view on DR.. Bevan's statement, said:
prof. Bevan, whom l have the honor
to know personally and for whom l
hold the deepest respect, has unques-
tionably been misquoted, if as you i'll
form me, he is stated to have said
that medicines are valueless in the
treatment of pneumonia. I do not
doubt that what he must have said was
in effect the truism that no medicine
can shorten the course of a pneumonia
once started upon it's usual course.
1t is a microbic disease, with as definite
a duration. on the average, as a case
of measles or of scarlet fever. In no
disease of this character can the physi-
clan cut short it's duration; but he can
greatly add both to the patients COM
fort and safety by a wise selection of
medicines. If. for example, the heart
is failing. he can strengthen 1t. If
there is much involvement of lung it's
sue, oxygen has saved numberless lives.
And if, upon the other hand, case
is not excessively severe, the wise doc
tor will probably give no remedies at
all; knowing that the tendency of ma
ture in this as in most diseases is to-
ward recovery. But to say that medi-
cines are always useless in pneumonia
is like saying that a vessel hurrying
through a channel containing many
rock inviting wreckage, needs no pilot
at the helm. We are the human pilots,
often succeeding in avoiding for them
the rocks. but unable to lessen the
headlong speed of the journey of pneu-
monia >"

POLITICAL OYSTER ROAST
APLEASANT AFFAIR.
President j. j. Clarity of First Dis
trict Was the Host.

trict Was the Host.
Within 200 yards of where they were
tonged, seventy-five bushels of large,
fat oysters were disposed of at Dew
Drop, on the road to Bethesda, yes
terday afternoon by some of the ad-
ministration followers.
There were in the neighborhood of
300 people at the roast, the guests of
President ]. ]. Clarity of the First
District w. w. Osborne Association.
The affair was a quiet one and was
a success from every point of view
President Clarity did not receive his
guests dressed in his Sunday clothes
On the contrary, he was CARRIED for
the occasion.
The president of the Osborne asso-
citation in the First district was de-
termined to make the roast a pleasant
one and the hard work that he put
in was not in vain. Those of his
guests who did not go to Dew Drop
in buggies and drags used the special
cars that he had chartered for the
occasion. 1t was not an all day per-
Torrance, and as soon as the crowd
had done away with as much of the
refreshments as they could handle
there was a disintegration.
There were no political addresses,
and no plans were laid" AS the
First district president explained he
simply wanted to entertain his friends
quietly for an hour on a day when
they could spare the time. In behalf
of those who had gathered Mr. E. H.
Abrams thanked President Clarity for
the excellent roast that had been serv-
ed, and in a few appropriate words
wished him every success. The roast
was to have been held a week ago,
but was postponed because of the flu
neral of the late Henry Garwes.

MEDICINE BOTTLE
MADE OUT CASE
PROVED VALUABLE CLUE.
WITH IT'S AID DETECTIVE MURPHY
PROVES THIRD BURGLARY.

when Plain Clothes Man Found Bot
tie Containing One of DIR. War
5ng's Prescriptions in House of
Sam Jenkins, south Side Burglar,
He Secured Evidence in Third
Burglary Case-LOcated Man who
Had Prescription Filled and Found
Victim of RObber-JenISins Was
Shot Mt by Uniformed Man.
With the aid of a bottle of medicine
Detective Murphy has been able to
make out a third case against Sam
Jenkins, alias Dollar Bill" the South
Side burglar arrested by Mounted Pa
frolman Eivers.
When the Negroes house was search
ed a bottle of medicine was found. The
label showed that the prescription was
given by DR.. T. p. Waring and that
It had been filled by Huff's Pharmacy
Company. 1t was evident TO the de-
tective that jenkins was not one of
DR.. Warnings patients and that the
medicine had been stolen.
An investigation yesterday by the
detective resulted in the discovery that
the medicine was stolen with some
clothing from No. 216 CASTOR street,
west, early on the morning of Jan. q.
At that time Patrolman Barlow Davis
reported firing at suspicious charac-
ter who dropped a bundle of clothing.
1t now develops that Jenkins was
the man at whom Davis shot and that
he had burglarized a room occupied by
q man named Joyner He took the
bottle of medicine along with an over
coat. The prisoner blandly admitted,
when confronted with the evidence,
that he had burglarized the Castor
street house, and told the detective
what he had done with the overcoat
that went with the medicine. The
other clothing he dropped when the
patrolman shot at him.
There are two other cases against
Jenkins, and the prisoner will be for
snally arraigned in Police Court this
morning. An owner was found for the
coat described in the Morning News.
The name inside the coat was Quar-
eerman," and it developed that the gar
ment had been stolen from No. 707
Habersham street. jenkins also admits
this theft.
Detective Murphy says that his pris-
oner is foxy in that he only confesses
in the cases where there is positive evil
dence against him. and the officers are
convinced that dollar Bill is the bur-
glar who has been worrying residents
of the South Side so much.

COUNCIL WILL DECIDE
ON CASTOR STREET CASE.
Aldermen VIII Only Agree to Use
Asphalt on Two Blocks.


Asphalt on Two Blocks.
Just what will be done about the
CASTOR street paving case will be
finally decided by City Council on
Wednesday night.
Council will probably express a Will
ingness to pave the street from Dray-
ton to Whitaker, the two blocks on For
syth Park. with asphalt, but Will re-
fuse to use this material on the re-
mainder of the street.
At the last meeting Of Council repre-
sentatives of the Castor street property
owners appeared and made a request
for asphalt Because of the absence
from the city of Mayor Myers, no ac-
ton was taken. The return of the
Mayor means that the matter will be
determined at this time and that it will
be known just what is going to happen
to a street that has been an eyesore
for more than a year.
A member of Council is authority for
the statement that a majority of the
aldermen are unalterably opposed 10
asphalt as a paving material and would
consent to the use of asphalt on the
two blocks mentioned solely because
they are on Forsyth Park, and il would
mean an attractive rounding off of Bull
street at the entrance to the Park
While some of the property owners on
other parts of the street insist on as
phalt it may be that they can be in
duced by the others to accept brick.
In the event, however, that such an
agreement is not reached the matter
will be taken up at once before the
maater appointed by Judge Speer
when the injunction proceedings
against the Mayor and aldermen was
first taken up in the United States
Court There are some who do not be-
lieve that it is possible to amicably add
just matters and who are confident that
the case will have to be fought through
the courts. A mere acceptance by the
property owners of a proposition from
the city would not suffice but those
who instituted the proceedings would
have to withdraw their petition before
Judge Speer
In discussing the subject an alder
man said that even though every prop
erty owner on the street expressed a
desire for asphalt, this material could
not be used for two reasons. The ex-
perience of the present administration
with asphalt, he said, has been such
that it would be, to say the least, in
consistent for Council to again use this
material. Then, too, the alderman
pointed out, if it were used on all of
the street, the city would have to pay
out a much larger sum than it feels 1t
can afford.

DETECTIVE WALL HAS
GENE TO ST. AUGUSTINE.

Detective Frank Wall left yesterday
for St. Augustine for the purpose of
Identifying the boy who is believed to
have swindled Savannah merchants by
passing himself off as the son of Mr..
w. V. Davis.
The young suspect says he is Harry
Tolivero and that he is from Tampa.
Articles found in his possession, how
ever, answer the description of Arti-
cles secured from merchants in this
city by means of fraud. If the boy
under arrest turns out to be the juve-
nile swindler he will be brought back
10 Savannah by Detective Wall.

DAY STARTED FAIR
BUT ENDED WITH RAIN.

The weather mans prediction for rain
yesterday was verified. The early part
of the day and up until nearly o'clock

merest trace in the instruments at the
Weather Bureau.
