DECLINE TO REMOVE
MONUMENT RAILING.
Veterans Believe Such Course
Would Iniure Monument.

Veterans Believe Such Course
Would Injure Monument.
At the December meeting of the Con-
federate Veterans Association last
night a communication was presented
from the city asking the veterans If
they would object to removing the
iron railing now surrounding the Con-
federate monument in the Park Ex-
tension. The communication stated
that the object of asking the removal
of the railing was to do away with
the square corners, thus completing
the symmetry when the proposed walk
is placed through the Park.
After considerable discussion the vet
Grams unanimously voted against re-
moving the railing. The position that
was taken was that such course
would result in the destruction of the
banks en- which the monument rests,
owing to the fact that it would become
a favorite playground for the children.
The stone of which the monument is
made is of a soft kind and visitors to
the city and the thoughtless ones who
would congregate there would be con-
stantly chipping away parts of it, thus
soon destroying its beauty.
Attention was also called to the fact
lIldl the dI the EuldShl
ment was all that protected it from the
rough playing of the children. 1t was
also pointed out that the grass about
the unprotected monuments in the city
was constantly being torn up, and
that the elevations on which they stood
were the favorite places for the nurses
to take children and while away an
afternoon. On these grounds the camp
thought the best course to pursue was
to take a position against the removal
of the railing.
The Memorial Committee presented
resolutions on the death of Maj G.. M.
Ryals, together with a sketch of his
life. High and deserved tribute was
paid to Maj. Ryals' worth as a man
and to the valiant service he had given
the cause.
Gen. P. A. S. McGlashan presented
to the camp copies of the reports of
the recent state reunion at Rome.
The address of Lieutenant Comman-
der Morgan on the Fifth Georgia Cav
airy was postponed until the January
meeting of the camp.
After several matters of routine
business had been transacted the camp
adjourned.

DOG BIT FOUR PEOPLE
BEFORE 1T WAS KILLED.
II. s. Badger Had TO Have His
Wound CauteriEed.

H.

The dog, to gain his private ends,
Went mad and bit the man."
A sick dog. of seeming low degree
caused something of a sensation on
Whitaker street, near York lane. yes
terday afternoon. slightly biting four
people before it was finally dispatched
by Patrolman Griffin.
Shortly after O'Clock a dog was
noticed laying on the sidewalk near
the Georgia Telephone Company
building Mr. H. S. Badger, an en-
ploye of the telephone company, walk
ed to the dog and pushed it with his
foot. thinking it was dead. The canine
snapped viciously al him. burying three
teeth in the young mans ankle.
This action on the part of the dog
frightened bystanders, who declared it
was mad. Patrolman Griffin arrived
and prepared to dispatch the canine.
He struck it one blow on the head
with his club. This seemed to throw
the dog into a wild frenzy and it
sprang at those nearest, swapping vi
ciously. Two or three of the bystand-
ers narrowly avoided being bitten. The
officer finally succeeded In hitting the
dog a square blow in the head, killing
it.
Mr.. Badgers injuries were particu-
larly painful, and as the surface of
the wounds commenced getting blue
and swollen he hurried to the Masonic
Temple Pharmacy, where he had them
cauterized. The physician who dressed
the wounds stated they were serious,
and in his belief the dog was mad,
though not exhibiting violent rabies
Mr.. Badger was frightened, but his
wounds gave him little trouble after
they were cauterized. Patrolman
Griffin said he did not think the dog
was mad, but was sick and gave evil
dence of having been poisoned. 1t was
a dark red dog, resembling an Irish
setter No one could be found to claim
it. and the scavenger department took
the remains to the garbage pile.

Mr.. Henry AmbOs Must Tell why He
Holds Books.
A petition was filed by E. v. Toom-
er. as treasurer of the town of War
saw in the Superior Court yesterday,
asking that Henry Ambos be ordered
to appear before Judge Cam and

heard in the Justices court. The de-
PENDANT is ordered to show cause on
Dec. II why he refuses to turn over

MAN AND WOMAN WILL BE
ARRAIGNED TOGETHER.

There were no developments yester-
day in the Chestnut robbery, and Jane
Lindsey and her husband are still held
at the police station. The man and
woman have not yet been given a pre-
liminary examination before the Re-
corder.
Although the police have obtained
no additional evidence against the man,
they are still firm in their belief that
he tied his wife and assisted in the
robbery. He will be arraigned with
his wife on this charge, even though
no. additional evidence is secured.
Lindsey continues to protest that he
knew nothing of the theft of the money.

Lanes Committee Of Council yester-
day all four Of the bids which were
some time ago opened for furnishing
the city with vitrihed brick for next
years paving were rejected.
New bids will have to be advertised
for. though no time was agreed upon
by the committee for again opening
bids. Usually the brick contract is
very easily awarded. but for some rea-
son the committee this year could not
agree about IL. The bids have been
under consideration for several
weeks.

DEPARTMENT ESTIMATES
ARE ALL VERY HIGH.
Want More Than There is Any
Chance of Their Getting.

Chance of Their Getting.
Though the estimates from several
of the city departments have not yet
been received by Mayor Myers. the
total of those already in his hands are
in excess of the total budget for this
year.
If all the departments should be
given what they ask for the total
would be enormous. The total of the
estimates now in the Mayors hands is
S923,000, and there are a number of
others to be heard from.
The departments will. of course, not
get the increases asked for. An APP
preparation OF 100000 will have to be
made for the completion of the City
Hall. and to do this the departments
will have to econOmize. Only a very
few of the appropriations will be in
creased.

PROBABLY INVITE
ROOSEVELT HERE
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
WILL CONSIDER THE NATTER AT
DIRECTORS MEETING.

If Chamber of Commerce Issues In
vitatiOn. the Mayor and AIdermen
Will Also Invite the President in
the Name of the City-Chamber OF
Commerce VIII Work for the Els
tabIishment of n Military Road ON
,Tybee Island.
The Chamber of Commerce will
probably extend an invitation to
President Roosevelt to visit Savan-
nah.
The matter will be considered at a
meeting of the directors, to
be held this afternoon and it is more
than likely that the invitation will be
decided upon, though a positive pre-
diction can not be made.
If the Chamber of Commerce de-
cides to issue the invitation, it can be
authoritatively stated that the
Mayor and aldermen, on behalf of the
city, will also invite Mr.. Roosevelt to
come to Savannah.
Mayor Myers, it will be recalled,
stated in an interview in the Morning
News some time ago that it was prob
able the city would invite the Pres
ident to come here at some future
time. An invitation just at this time,
the Mayor said, should come from the
trade bodies and not the municipal
government. If, however. the initiative
is taken by the Chamber of Commerce
the city will also issue an invitation.
Road on Tybee Island.
Another important matter which
will be discussed by the directors this
afternoon will be the establishment of
a military road on Tybee Island.
The value of good roadway on the
island would be almost inestimable in
case Fort Screven should ever have to
defend the harbor, it is argued. 1t is
proposed to get the government to
build a splendid roadway from one
end of the island to the other. Such
roadway would be of great conven-
fence at all times as the beach at
low water now offers the only way of
travel by vehicle on the island
The matter will probably be taken
up with the congressman and senators
from Georgia. 1t will be shown what
a benefit such a road would be and
the government will be urged to
struction. The support of the officers
at Fort Screven will be secured in the
movement.
For Deeper Water.
The campaign for deeper water,
started about a year ago and taken
up by all the trade bodies of the city,
will be renewed by the Chamber of
Commerce this afternoon. Letters will
be sent to the members of the Com
mittee on Harbor Improvements and
the Georgia members of Congress will
be urged to push the fight.
Every effort will be made to get an
appropriation through the present SEES
sion of Congress. AS this is the short
session the Chamber of Commerce d.
rectors realize that extra hard work
will have to be done, if this is to
be accomplished. The work will be
started at once. 1t is possible that a
committee from the Chamber of Com
merce may later be sent to Washing
ton to urge Savannahs claims.

TRAVEL IN STATE.
The Misses Stokes on Pullman Move
Only in Day Time.

The Misses Stokes, sisters of Arson
Phelps-Stokes, of New York city, passed
through Topeka today in the private Pull
man car ''Elysian," en- route to Old Mex
leo and California.
The Stokeses in herited fortune of sew
eral millions of dollars and the young
man, Arson Phelps-Stokes, who is a min
lister, has been devcting his time and
money to charitable and philanthroPic
work anIUng the poor and needy in the
New York city slumS.
The Misses Stokes ale travelling only
in the day time. Their tour was arranged
by the firm of Raymond & Whitcomb, ex-
cursiOn managers, and the trip is being
made over the Santa Fe railroad.
Their car is attached to passenger
trains only in the day time and every ev-
ening IL IS taken off the train and remains
over night in whatever town or city they
happen to reach at nightfall-
Tonight the car will remain all night at
Hutchinson, Kan, and tomorrow night it
will remain all night at Dodge City.
1t IS quite an expensive luxury to travel
in q private car. The Pullman coach

so per day and the railroad requires them
to present eighteen full fare cash tickets
TO haul the car, although no one else but
the two young women and their servants
travel n the car.
