TWO ICE CREAM S0DAS
FOR PRICE OF ONE.
Now Fiends Are Wearing Smile
That Won't Come on,

Ice cream soda fiends wore the smile
that won't come off yesterday.
1t was not because the day was
warm and they stored away more than
usual, but because it cost them the
same to eat just twice as many as had
been their custom since the opening of
the season.
There were many wry faces when
the announcement was made several
weeks ago that an ice cream soda
would cost 10 cents. 1t is not meant
by this that those who made the faces
wanted whiskey that isn't corn They
were simply sore at the advance in
prices.
A great many of them decided to
''cut out" ice cream sodas and go in
for sherbets and other things of the
same breed that only cost cents.
This may have had a great deal to
do with the issuing of general order
No. which brought the smile yester-
day.
But although the order is numbered
1t did not become general until well
into the afternoon. One of the 'popu-
ar" places made the cut in the morn
ing, and it took several hours for the
news to spread. But it became circu-
lated all right, and the afternoon trade
profited thereby.

QUESTIONS GEORGIA
LAWYERS WILL DISCUSS
At state Bar Association Meeting
at Warm Springs.

Savannah will be well represented at
the meeting of the Georgia Bar Asso-
citation at Warm Springs June 30 Sew
eral matters of general interest will be
discussed. Among them is the
question of restricting the elective
franchise. A number of the Southern
states have recently passed constitu-
tional amendments or adopted new
constitutions which restrict the right
of suffrage. Educational qualifications
have been provided which have practi-
caly eliminated the negro. These state
constitutions have been upheld by the
Supreme Court of the United States.
though vigorously assaulted. Should
Georgia adopt an amendment to its
constitution similar to those of Vir-
ginia, Alabama, Mississippi and South
Carolina, or should it continue to rely
on the poll tax requirement? This ques-
ton is to be discussed.
1t is understood also that the Com
mittee on Judicial Administration and
Remedial Procedure, of which Judge
George Hillyer is chairman, will recon-
mend the adoption of the Australian
ballot system in primary elections, es-
pecially those in which judges and So
llcitors are chosen. And also that the
superior Court judges rotate among
the different circuits, so as to be re-
moved from local influences as much
as possible.
Another matter which will be dis
cussed is the bill prepared under the
direction of the association to create a
court of appeals. This measure has
been urged for some time by the Bar
Association. At the last session of the
Legislature the bill passed the Senate
and received a favorable report from
the Judiciary Committee of the House,
but failed to reach a vote in that body.
The lawyers are very much in earnest
in advocating this bill, as it is designed
for the relief of the overworked Su-
preme Court. AS the Legislature will
be in session at the time the associa-
ton meets, it is expected that action
will be taken with a view to getting
the bill passed at this session.
One session of the Bar Association
will be devoted to a memorial service
for the members who have died since
the last meeting. There is an unusual
ly long list of these, and it embraces
some of the most distinguished men in
the state. Among these are Presiding
Justice Samuel Lumpkin and ex-Jus-
(. tees Henry T. Lewis and Henry G.
Turner of the Supreme Court. Judges
Pope Barrow, j. B. Estes, w. T. Cary
and Thomas A. Atkinson of the Su-
perior Courts and several others. Hon.
J. H. Merrill of Townsville is chair
man of the Memorial Committee and
the memorial meeting will be under
his direction

CHANGE OF OFFICERS
AT CRITTENTON MISSION.
Miss Davis New Matron, To Lecture
on Rescue Work.

Miss Davis New MatrOn, To Lecture
on Rescue Work.
Mrs. Carter, matron of the Crittenton
Mission Home, has resigned because of
ill health and has returned to her
home.
She has been succeeded by Miss
Davis, who has as her assistant Miss
Cakes. Miss Davis, who is already in
charge of the mission, is a native of
GAINESVILLE, Ga, and has had an ex-
tensive experience in missionary work
in Indian Territory and Oklahoma.
In order that the members of the
auxiliary of the mission may have the
opportunity of meeting the new officers
of the home, a meeting will be held
in Wesley Monumental Church Wed
nesday afternoon at O'Clock, when
Miss Davis will make an address on
rescue work. Not only are all members
of the auxiliary invited to attend this
meeting, but all other persons inter-
ested in the work.
Mrs. w. H. Elliott, president of the
organization having in charge the mis-
sion, says the home is now taking
care of all the girls for which accom-
modations can be found, but during
the last week alone four applications
for admission were received. To carry
on the work successfully, and to en-
large it to meet the demands that are
being made, it is necessary to have a
larger fund than is now at the COM
mand of the home, and it is planned to
give trolley ride sometime within the
next ten days, the proceeds to be de-
voted to the assistance of the work.

MINISTERS ARE READY
TO MAKE REPORT.
Thunderbolt Sabbath Breaking Be-
fore Ministerial Association.

A report on the alleged Sunday desc
crations at Thunderbolt will be made
tomorrow to the Ministerial Associa-
ton by the committee appointed for
that purpose.
Just what the report will be cannot
be said, as Rev. w. A. Nisbet, the
chairman, stated yesterday he believed
it would be premature to make any
announcement on the matter.
I'VE are ready to make our report"
he said, land shall do so at the next
meeting of the association. We shall
lay the question fully before the MEM
bers and they must decide as to what
action, if any, they will take. 1 can
say nothing regarding the nature of
the report, as l believe at this time it
would be premature"
The Ministerial Association will
meet at 1890 tomorrow, at the First
Presbyterian Church. Owing to the
Importance of the matters which are
to be acted on, President Nisbet is
very anxious that there be a large
attendance. The report of the special
committee will be the matter of most
general interest.

west. near West Broad.
Detective J. ]. Murphy worked UP
the case against Masters, but the ar
rest was left to Mounted Patrolman
Harper, who lives just across the
arrested Masters just after he return
ed home from work.
On circumstantial evidence Masters is
supposed by the officers to know some
thing about an alleged incendiary fire
on Duffy street Friday night. He de-
MES all knowledge of the fire, and says
the first he knew of it was when he
read about it.
Il don't know anything about it," he
said last night to representative of
the Morning News. II didn't know
there was a fire until read it in the
paper. l never did any one a dirty
trick in my life. They will have to
prove the charges made against me-

that was set on fire.
From No. 420 the copper lining from
the bath tub was stolen. 1t was cut
out with a knife This copper lining
was found yesterday by Detective
Murphy in the hands of a dealer, who
said Masters had sold 1t to him. De-
tective Murphy believes both houses
would have been set on fire had not
the flames been discovered so soon.
There have been quite a number of
incendiary fires recently and the po-
lice are confident the same man start
ed them all
AS to another charge against
Masters, he is alleged by the detectives
to have cut the lead piping out of the
refrigerator in the Union bar. The bar
has only recently been fitted out and
all the fixtures were owned by the Sa-
vannah Brewing Company. Detective
Murphy says this piping was sold by
Masters.
All the plumbing that has been stol-
en-, the detective says, has been taken
out by a man who knows his business.
1t has been uncoupled and not broken.
In some instances the coupling has
also been taken. Masters is a plumber
by trade.
Detective Murphy had a talk with
his prisoner last night. The prisoner
denied knowing anything about the
charges and told the detective he
would have to prove them. Masters is
married man and has three little
children.

DENIES GUILT ON
EDGE OF GRAVE
CALVIN SAYS 1T IS HARD
To BE HANGED FOR CRIME OF
WHICH HE IS NOT GUILTY.

Claims to be Ready to Die, But Pro-
tests Against Execution on
Ground He Did Not Commit Muir
der of Which He Has Been Twice
COnNicted-Is Afraid of Death and
Speaks of GallOws with TremOr
in His VOice-COnfessed Imme-
diateIy After Arrest.
With less than three weeks to live,
Willie Calvin, twice convicted of MUIR
der and three times sentenced to pay
the death penalty on the gallows, still
protests his innocence, yet immedi-
ately after his arrest he confessed.
Calvin is to be hanged on July and
from the Governor can save him, and
there is little likelihood of the Gov
ernor taking any action.
1T is hard to die this way" said
Calvin yesterday. IF 1 were guilty
1 would not mind it. But it is hard
for a mans life to be taken for some
thing he is not guilty Of If 1 had
killed the woman l would be willing
for them to kill me right off, but 1
didn't, and 1t is hard to be hanged
for something you did not do.
If l must die, l am ready to go,
but 1t is so hard. 1 did not even know
the woman had been killed until 1 was
arrested. 1 was in the fight, all right.
There were three of US, but 1 did not
Kill the woman"
Calvin Appears Terrified.
Though Calvin says he is ready to
fhnrp fV~oY, to y e i
a look of terror in his eye which in
Variably appears when man is first
confronted by death. He has not yet
mastered that instructive fear of the
world beyond which is so common. 1t
is probable he will gain sufficient mas
terry over himself to control and hide
his fears when the fatal day arrives.
He says he has made his peace and
is ready to die. Most of the men exc
cuted meet their death with apparent
bravery, though nearly all of them are
very much frightened until a day or
two before the time for the hanging
arrives.
1t is probable that Calvin's belief in
his salvation will take him through the
ordeal, though he is now in apparent
AFFECT terror of the gallows.
Doesn't Want Preachers.
Calvin gives the name of the man
whom he says he believes killed Rosa
Pace, the woman for whose murder he
is to be hanged. Calvin says he has no
preachers to call on him, and he does
not care to see them.
They can talk to me and advise me-
but have got to save my soul myself,
If it is saved" he said. Il am ready to
die, If l have to. But it is certainly
hard to be hanged for another mans
crime"
Calvin is a negro of far more than
average intelligence. Judge Seabrook
in sentencing him referred to this fact
and characterized the murder as cow
ardly and brutal. There is absolutely
no chance for Calvin to be saved from
the gallows, save by death. He has
been in Jail since Sept. s, 1902.
