Omcer Here Gets Letter Asking
where to Lodge Warrants.
Chief Deputy Sheriff Sweeny has
received a letter from the Florida au-
thorities asking who is the proper per-
son with whom to lodge warrants
against Fred c. Bone, now in the pen
itentiary, that he may be apprehended
and carried back to Florida when he
has served his sentence in Georgia.
Chief Deputy Sweeny replied that
he presumed the warrants would have
to be sent to the state authorities, as
Bone had passed entirely out of the
hands of the officers here. Bone was
convicted on only one count here, it
Will be remembered, although he had
confessed to other forgeries. The 9TH
ers, however. were committed in Flor
ida. He pleaded guilty to the one
forgery for which he was arrested
here and was given a two-years' SEN
tence.
He is now serving this sentence, hav-
ing been sent from Savannah a week
or two ago. Judging by the letter
that Chief Sweeny received the Flor
ida authorities intend to take him in
charge at the end of his sentence in
this state.

WOMAN CONFESSES
TO KILLING MAN
WAS PROTECTING HERSELF.
FANNIE HAMILTON ADMITS SHE
STABBED OSBORNE WITH HATPIN.

Lying WAN CAOAChlhB
when Found, COrrObOrates the
WOmnn's Stnteme nt-She Confessed
to Detectives Murphy and Wall
When They Confronted Her With
Evidence of Guilt.
Admitting that she is the slayer of
James Osborne and that the hatpin
in the possession of the police was the
weapon used, Fannie Hamilton, coll
ored, is still a prisoner at the police
station.
Osborne, as stated in the Morning
News, was found in the back yard of
the house at No. 81 Perry lane, east
of Randolph street, about l o'clock
yesterday morning by Bette Daniels,
who lives at the address given.
The officers reached the scene short
ly after the dying man was found by
the Daniels woman, but it was with
difficulty that the slightest informa-
ton was secured. The woman, who
has now confessed to the murder, stood
about with the others and wondered
who could have done it. The man
had died within a minute or two after
he was carried into the house and
without making any statement
Detective Found Hatpin.
1t was learned by the officers that
Fannie Hamilton had been quarreling
with Osborne earlier in the night The
woman was taken in charge by the po-
lice, until an investigation could oe
made. The only wound on the dead
man was a small stab over the lett
eye. This was only about DIN eighth OF
an inch in length.
In the suspected woman's room the
only implement that could have pro
duced the wound was a hatpin, which
had been bent and thrown into a cor
ner. Detective Murphy, when he found
this. was at once satisfied that it was
the weapon which had produced death.
The wound had not bled at all frofl
the outside.
How Woman Was Trapped.
Satisfied that the woman had COM
mitted the crime and that it had been
done with a hatpin, Detectives Murphy
and Wall had a talk with the suspect
in her cell and secured the confession.
The woman had denied having on
straw hat, and the officers began on
this line. She finally admitted having
the hat on at the time of the last
quarrel with Osborne. The officers
then charged her with having stabbed
the man with the hatpin and she con-
fesSed.
She claims Osborne was advancing
on her with a stone, when she jabbed
at him with the hatpin. When the
dying man was found, he still had the
stone clutched in his hand. There were
no witnesses, and the woman may be
able to establish the fact that she
killed him in self-defense. She had
no idea of killing Osborne, she says,
but was simply trying to protect her
self. Unless an eyewitness can be
found this defense will probably be ac-
copied Osborne and the woman, it
was reported to the police, had been
living together, and the quarrel was
caused, it is believed, by Osborne's
jealousy.

NEW CORNER STONE
NOW BEING CONSIDERED.

Mayor VIII Begin Work on Pro-
Ernmme for Laying Stone.
Since the beginning of the actual
work ON the new City Hall, interest
in the old corner stone has ceased and
the question now is when will the new
corner stone be laid, and under what
circumstances.
Mayor Myers will take the matter
up to-day. 1t will be several weeks
before the stone will be laid, but the
Mayor will begin to map out pro-
gramme at this time.
Elaborate exercises will probably
commemorate the laying of the stone.
1t has been suggested that newspaper
plates be put in the stone instead of
copies of the articles that have APP
peared about the building. This sug-
gestion, which comes from Architect
Witcover will doubtless be carried out.

Judge SeRbrOOk VIII Sign Decree in
Accordance With Verdict.
Upon his return to Savannah on Sat-
urday Judge Paul Seabrook will sign
the court decree in the case of Low
and others, against the city of Savan-
nah, commonly known as the Emmett
Park case. The decree will follow the
lines of the verdict of the jury. which
was published in full in the Morning
News at the time the agreement was
reached.
1t is not known just how soon the
city will begin to carry out its part
of the work. 1t is certain, however.
that the matter will come before Coun-
Gil shortly after the decree is signed,
and il is regarded as probable that
steps Will be taken at once to begin
the work of beautifyinR the Park, and
constructing the driveway about it.
All parties to the litigation have ex-
pressed themselves as thoroughly sat
isfied with the terms on which a set
tlement was reached. 1t was at first
feared that certain property holders
effected would renew the litigation, buG
all have stated that the matter has
been adjusted to their complete salts
faction.

COUPONS VALUED AT

At a meeting of the Finance Com
mittee Of Council yesterday $4,000
worth of coupons, which had been
paid by the city, were checked and
destroyed. The checking of so many
coupons was tedious work and the
committee was in session almost all of
the afternoon.
Most of these coupons have only re-
Gently been paid, quite a sum of mon
ey having been sent to New York for
this purpose. The coupons and paving
bills together have considerably low
cred the balance of funds on hand in
the city treasury.
Only a few weeks ago there was al
most 100000 in the treasury, while
yesterday there was less than 100000
about $19S,000. Two-thirds of. the
money paid out for paving, however,
will be returned by the property own
erS.
The treasurer's books were also
checked by tthe Finance Committee.
Everything was found to be in ex-
cellent shape and Maj Hardee, the
treasurer, was warmly commended by
Alderman Dixon, the chairman of the
Finance Committee.

STRIKE HAS BEEN SETTLED.
Electrical Workers Have Settled All
Differences Now.

At a conference last night the strike
of the electrical workers for the Elec-
trical Supply Company was satisfac-
torily settled.
All of the new workers who were
brought to the city by Mr.. Walker
when the strike was started are to
make applications and become mem
bers of the union, and Mr.. Walker will
in future employ nothing but union
labor. Several of the men who went
out on the strike may return to work
within a few days.
The strike has been in progress for
several weeks. The settlement is very
gratifying both to the company and to
the men. There was no dispute as to
pay. The only question was the en-
ployment of non-union men along with
union men. Mr.. Walker has now
agreed to make his company union
one, and formal agreement was en-
tered into.

NO ACTION TAKEN BY
SPEEDWAY COMMITTEE.
No Committee from city Appeared at
joint Session.

No Committee from City Appeared at
joint Session.
No action was taken yesterday by
the joint committee from the Chamber
of Commerce and the County Conf
missioners, owing to the failure of the
committee from the city to put in an
appearance.
The entire committee from the
Chamber of Commerce was present
and Commissioner Albert Wylly rep
resented the commissioners.
The failure of the city to attend the
meeting through a committee is at
tributed to the fact that the request
was presented to them too late for any
action to be taken. No meeting of
the City Council has been held since
the request of the Chamber of Com
merce committee was forwarded to the
Mayor.
The plans were informally discussed
and those present gained much clear
er view of just what is desired by the
promoters of the speedway. 1t was
decided to hold a joint meeting of the
committee on Thursday next at 4:S0
O'Clock. The meeting will be held in
the rooms of the Chamber of Com
merce.

FEAST OF PENTECOST
BEGAN AT SHUTDOWN.
Combination at Mickva Israel Syn
agOgue Tonight.

aSOgue Tonight.
At shutdown last night the Jewish
Feast of Psntecost began.
Pentecost is the name given to the
fiftieth day after the Passover, in cell
ebration of the "ingathering. 1t ranks
as one of the three principal festivals
of the Jews, and was formerly called
the feast of weeks" because it was
celebrated for seven weeks after the
10th day of the month of Nissan.
1t stood as the elimination of the
consecrated season and was character
lied by hospitable liberality and re-
membrance OF the poor. Its distin-
gushing rite was the offering of two
ioaves of leavened bread. In later
days the feast has been kept as a com
memoration of the delivering of the
law on Mount Sinai.
The day will be observed here with
the usual ceremonies. There will be
confirmation services at the Synagogue
MickVa Israel tonight.

WANT A STRICT QUARANTINE.
MIR. Il. 4. Cults on the Boil weeviI
Plague.

Mr.. z. A. Cults, who has just return
ed from Atlanta, where he attended the
meeting of the Cotton Buyers Conven-
tion says the convention was a very
successful one. THE boil weeviI," he
said, occupied most of our attention
and it was generally agreed that so
long as the little pest has made its APP
pearance in Mississippi the state of
Georgia ought to establish a strict
quarantine against it. 1t was suggest
ed that inspectors be appointed to care
fully investigate every bale of cotton
brought into Georgia from the infected
districts. This he said, seems to be
the only way to stop the spread of the
boil weevil.
