CORTELYOU MAY
VISIT SAVANNAH
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
LIKELY TO ASK HIM TO SPEAK AT
ITS ANNUAL BANQUET.

Suggestion Met With Favor mt Meet
Met to Plan for Banquet-WiII not
Decide Details Until More Members
are Present-ShOuId Invitation to
Secretary COrtelYOu he Decided
ON Committee from Chamber of
Commerce VIII Go to Washington
and Deliver 1t In Person.
1t is probable that Secretary Cortel-
you of the Department of Commerce
and Labor will be invited to Savannah
to deliver an address before the mem
bers of the Chamber of Commerce at
their annual banquet, which is to be
held the first week in March
This idea was suggested at a meeting
of the Committee on Entertainment,
held yesterday, to plan for the annual
banquet, and it met with such favor
that it is more than likely to be
adopted.
The meeting reached no definite con-
clusion on any of the details of the
proposed banquet, though many mat
tiers in connection with it were fully
discussed. The plan most favored is
to have an affair that will cost about
IS plate, tickets to be sold each MEM
Der for himself and as many of his
friends as he cares to invite. 1t was
suggested, too, that the affair be held
at the De Soto.
These suggestions are merely tenta-
tive, however, for nothing will be de-
cided on until another and a larger
meeting of the committee can be held,
which will be Feb. 4. At that time the
exact date and the place of the ban
quet will be settled and likewise the
question as to who will be asked to
speak.
1t is felt that for an occasion of this
sort the best arrangement that can be
made will be to have some one dis
tinguished man to deliver an address
rather than to have number of speak
ers, and the sentiment at the meeting
was that no more fortunate choice
could be made than that of Mr.. Cor
telyou, provided, of course, he can be
Induced to accept the invitation. Should
it be decided to extend this invitation
1t is probable that committee will be
appointed 10 visit washington and call
on Mr.. Ccrtelyou.
The secretary has visited Savannah
before when, as private secretary to
President Mckinley. he accompanied
him and several members of his cab
met to this city at the time that the
Seventh Army Corps was camped here.
At that time he met a. number of Sa-
vannahians who would be glad to ex-
tend him warm welcome. should he
again visit the city.
The members of the committee pres
ent at the meeting were: Mr.. f. C.
Foster, chairman, and Messrs. Harry
Blum, H. A. Crane, o. S. Kulman,
Adolph LETTER and B. H. Levy.

BELOW FREEZING POINT
MERCURY WILL FALL

Cold Wave VIII BE Ushered in With
Fresh to Brisk Northwest winds.
Temperatures considerably below
the freezing point and fresh to brisk
northwest winds is the prediction for
the weather to-day. The cold wave.
which is moving eastward, should
reach here sometime during the early
morning, and before night there
should be a considerable drop in tenn
perature. No rains are expected, as
last night the storm center was ap-
parently lying over Connecticut.
At 1890 o'clock yesterday morning
the following telegram was received
at the Savannah Weather Bureau:
Northwest storm warnings at 1920
from Jacksonville to New York. Storm
now central in Ohio, moving rapidly
northeast. Will cause brisk southerly
winds this afternoon along the South
Atlantic coast. shifting to strong north
west Wednesday. Much colder We'd
nesday."
Immediately upon the receipt of the
telegram the storm signals were hoist
ed on the postoffice and above the City
Exchange. The display staff on the
Morning News building is temporarily
OUT Oh OTQeT ana the courtesy OF using
the Exchange was extended by the
city officials. 1t is necessary to fly
the signals from some other point
than the postoffice, as they cannot be
seen there from the river.
The cold wave, which is following
close upon the storm, should reach
here early this morning or during the
day. This is expected to force tenn
peratures considerably below the
freezing point and will extend the
freezing line into Florida, as far south
as Jupiter. Temperatures of from 16
to 20 degrees were reported yesterday
morning at southwest stations.
Last nights reports showed that the
storm had moved rapidly northeast
and was then central in Connecticut.
Rain was general east Of the Mississip-
pi and several stations reported snow.
Atlanta reported a temperature of 80
degrees, and while Savannah had So
degrees, the Atlanta temperature will
be felt here early this morning. To-
ward night a further drop will be ex-
perienced, though no exact prediction
! has yet been made by the Weather
Bureau officials
The weather in Savannah yesterday
was far from cold. The maximum was
SO degrees at l o'clock in the after
noon, and the minimum Al at o'clock
in the morning. This made the aver
age temperature so degrees, a def
cheney OF degrees.

OWNERS OF CHICKENS
ARE NOT HAPPY.
Police Continued War and Made "a
More Cases Yesterday.

Police Continued War and Made 21
More Cases Yesterday.
Again yesterday the police waged
war on the owners of chickens found
running at large in the street, and
twenty-four cases were made during
the morning.
There will be no let up by the Off
GERS until the chickens have been
driven from the streets, and property
owners, and tax payers whose gardens
have been destroyed by fowls, are
promised that the ordinance will be
enforced.
OF course those who have been placed
on the docket are not at all pleased,
and more than one chicken owner was
in a bad humor yesterday. Neighbors
were blamed for what the police had
been threatening to do for months, and
there were a great many sour" folks
to be found in the southern section of
the city.
1t is probable that for the next few
days chickens will be served in many
South Side homes, a great many chick
en- owners having decided to get rid
of those of their fiocks that persist in
taking to the tall grassland the flow
er gardens of the neighbors.
1t was the irony of fate that a prop
erty owner who some time ago COM
planned of the conduct of the chickens
was placed on the police docket during
the morning for violating one of the
city ordinances. BY the same uniform
ed man who had docketed twenty-four
chicken owners. he was entered on the
docket for riding his bicycle on the
sidewalk and will have to face the Re
corder.

R. l.. STEVENS ENTERS SUIT
AGAINST STREET RAILWAY.

Asks for Judgment of $4,000 for
Damages Received Last September
Through his attorneys, Messrs.
Twiggs & Oliver and Evans G. Evans,
Mr.. Robert L. Stevens of Sandersville
hled suit in the office of the clerk
OF the Superior Court yesterday for
punitive damages to the amount of
$4,000 for injuries received last Sep
TENDER, both to himself and son.
The accident in which Mr.. Stevens
and his 10-year- old son were injured
was reported in the Morning News at
the time, and as alleged In his petition,
1t occurred just in front of the Cen
trail of Georgia Railway station on
West Broad street.
Mr.. Stevens and his son came to
Savannah on one of the excursions
run here on Sept. Is from Sandersville.
1t was about 8 o'clock in the evening
when the train arrived, and there was
a large crowd of eXcursionists. Mr..
Stevens entered a cab with his son at
the side entrance to the depot, and
ordered that he be driven to the De
Soto Hotel,
The petitioner alleges that just as
the cab came out of Railroad street
into West Broad, the cabman pulled
back his curtains, which were up to pro-
tect the occupants from the rain,
which was falling, and looked to see
If car was coming down the tracks
which they would have to cross to get
to Liberty street and hence to the no.
tel.
There was a car some distance up
the track, but it was not believed that
1t would come up to the station at
any high rate of speed, and the cab
man attempted to cross. The car was,
alleges the petitioner, coming at a
rapid rate of speed, despite the fact
that there were large number of peo-
pie crossing the street in that immedi-
ate vicinity, and that no gong or bell
man.
ly on him the cab driver whipped up
his horse, but too late to avoid the
rapidly moving car, which struck the
cab, overturning it and badly injuring
the occupants. Mr.. Stevens and his son
were taken to the De Soto and medi-
cal aid was summoned. Mr.. Stevens
being an elderly man, suffered much
from his injuries, which he sets forth
in his petition, still give him trouble,
and which he believes will prove per-
manent.
He alleges that the accident was
purely the fault of the motorman, an
authorized agent of the railway COM
pany, and he asks for damages to the
amount of $4,000 and doctors fees.

HOW TWO GRAFTERS
FLEECED LUMBERMkN.

A story has just come to light in Sa-
vannah wherein figured a Tattnall
county lumber dealer. two professional
panhandlers and two checks aggregat-
ing $500, which. by an art known only
to the oily tongued professionals. were
transferred from the greasy wallet of
the honest lumber dealer, to the already
pudgy purses of the grafters.
The lumber dealer was from Tattnall
county. The two beneficiaries were
from anywhere. The one with the
horny hands and clear conscience.
stopped over in Savannah several days
ago, en- route to his home at a small
station on the Seaboard Air Line. He
had sold lumber at Darien. He had
money in his pockets, much money, or
rather it's equivalent, two checks on a
Savannah bank, aggregating $500. 1t
was natural enough that a nice look
ing young man should engage him In
conversation.
The young man was on to his graft.
The honest one had not carried so much
money at one time before, and he con-
fided in the young man, who was, in
turn. bewildered. The pair were ap-
preached by another wise one who
wanted a bill changed. He carelessly
flashed a large bundle of the 'soft
stuff" and wrecklessly announced that
he was willing to turn heads or tails
for the bunch or any part of it. lie

changed.
The honest one took the bait i'm
mediately. Why shouldn't he risk a
little of what he had. He so confided
to the young man who had toined-him
1t so happened that all three got on
the same train. The young man-who-
had joined-him sat on the seat with
him, and the other one was close by

The honest one performed feats or

tain pen. These performances were
dictated by the wreckless one. Wher

at Savannah to hold up payment or

METHODIST UNION
HELD SHORT Meeting,

Interesting Letters Read from Rev.
j. A. Smith, Now I'm New York.
A short session of the Methodist
Union was held last night in the lee
ture room of Trinity Methodist
Church. Besides several matters of
routine business and ordering several
bills paid, no business was transacted
Two interesting letters were read from
Rev. ]. A. Smith, formerly pastor of
Epworth Methodist Church, who is
now in New York preparing for his
work as missionary pastor in Savan-
nah.
Rev. Mr.. Smith stated that he was
making good progress with his work
and that he will probably return to
Savannah about the first of April. At
present he is engaged in studying the
methods used at the institutional
church of DR.. Josiah Strong, the great
est organization of its kind in the en-
tire country. All the details of the
work are being gone into and many
excellent ideas have been obtained for
use in Savannah.
In connection with this work Rev.
Mr.. Smith is also doing practical
work in different parts of the city.
This combination of the theoretical
and practical parts of the movement
which is to be instituted in Savannah
upon his return, will prove of inesti-
mable benefit. A thorough course in
sociology, psychology, and kindred
subjects is also being taken to further
prepare him for the work.
The Methodist Union is an organi-
cation composed of the pastors and
official members of the four Methodist
churches of Savannah to act as an adj
visory and official board to the mis-
sionary pastor. All of the members
of the union are confident in their be-
lief that the work here will be a sue
cess and consider the outlook as very
encouraging.
