COMES FROM TRINIDAD
TO BE REPAIRED HERE.
Steamship "viking'' Will BE Re-
paired at the Kehoe Works.

Steamship 'viIxing'' VIII BE Re-
paired at the KehOe Works.
The steamship Viking from Trinidad
reached Savannah yesterday morning.
The vessel is here for the purpose of
being thoroughly overhauled and re-
paired and the contract for the work
has been let to William Kehoe & Sons.
The ship is now in dock and the hull,
machinery, and boilers will be given
a complete oyerhauling and cleaning.
The vessel IS owned by the New
York and Bermudez Company, and is
one of the large fleet of vessels engaged
by that firm. The firm is interested
in the asphalt business and the YES
sells are used in transporting the ma
terial from Venezuela TO the different
ports where it is needed for shipment
to cities and towns. The fact that the
vessel should be sent here for repairs,
going directly by Jacksonville and 9TH
er more southern points where there
are excellent facilities for doing re-
pair work, is a distinct compliment to
the Savannah firm that has been Civ
en- the contract.
The marine railway that is to be
built by Messrs. Kehoe will be started
promptly on the first Of the year. The
contracts for the work have already
been let and as soon as the present
lease on the property expires work will
be commenced. All the preliminaries
have been completed and there will
be no delay in rushing the plant to
completion.

FOREMAN OR BAILIFF
IN PLACE OF HONOR?
Couldn't Decide Yesterday, So Both
Passed I'D Dinner.

Couldn't Decide Yesterday, So Both
Passed I'D Dinner.
Shall the foreman of the trial jury
or the bailiff in charge sit at the head
of the table?
That was the question that was
sprung on Judge Cam at 1906 o'clock
this morning when a mistrial had been
declared in the Easom case. And
thereby hangs a tale.
The mistrial had been declared and
the jurors dismissed when the fore
man, Mr.. j. Cooper Harris, arose and
told Judge Cam he wished to COM
plain against Bailiff E. c. Hartigan.
He then stated that when dinner
was served in the jury room he sat
down at the head of the table. The
bailiff then took him by the arm and
told him to seat himself elsewhere that
that was the bailiff's place. There was,
according to Mr.. Cooper. no ELSE
where" and so he went dinnerless.
Then 1t was the baiIiff's inning. He
informed the court that in all the time
he had served the bailiff always sat
at the head of the table. In this case
there was a shortage in plates, and
when he noticed this he offered his
seat to Foreman Cooper, who declined

up, neither bailiff nor foreman want
ing anything to do with it. The other
jurors fell to with a will and ate
theirs.
The court ruled that dinner was
spread for the juror first, not that the
bailiff was loved less, but the juror
more. 1t was also customary to set
thirteen plates, allowing for the bail
if, the court not being especially i'm
pressed with the hoodoo number But
if either bailiff or juror must go with
out dinner, the bailiff belonged in the
class that goes way back and sits
down. Then the court attempted to
smooth it all over.
But the foreman wouldn't smooth
and said he wished to impress his
point. The court then ruled as he mad
before, but stated there was no law in
the state of Georgia compelling a man
to eat and if they wouldn't eat the
court couldn't help it. Under the old
law jurors got only bread and water
and when this was repealed there was
no law passed in it's place compelling
them to eat dinner If they didn't want
to. This ruling ended the incident.

BURGLARS HAVE NO
PLACE IN SAVANNAH.
Willie Bell Sent by Judge Cam t.
Labor in Penitentiary.

Willie Bell, Sent by Judge Cam to
Labor in Penitentiary.
There is no place in Savannah for
burglars. be they colored men or white
men.
This court is always inclined to
heed the recommendations of the juries,
but your character is far from good
one, and these officers of the law would
have no object in speaking against
you.
Under all the circumstances the
court feels that the recommendation in
this case should be disregarded. The
sentence of the court is that you be
put to hard labor in the state peniten-
tiary for term of five years"
With these words Judge Cam yes
terday put Willie Bell out of the way
as far as Savannah is concerned. Bell
had been convicted of burglarizing the
store of a Savannah merchant and
then attempting to throw away the
articles he had stolen when the Off
GERS of the law approached him. The
articles had been stolen by breaking
in one of the show windows and then
removing some of the goods that had
been placed on display. Bell was de-
Tended by Attorney Dexter Blount.
The jury found him guilty, but rec
commended that he be punished as for
a misdemeanor. The court inquired
about the negro's character, and the
report on his conduct while in Jail
was one that showed him to be a dam
gerous and desperate man. Threats
had been made, and he had attempted
to escape from custody. In view of
these facts, Judge Cam imposed the
sentence given above.

Shoe cuisines. MOVING WESTWARD.

ST. Louis manufacturers have expert
enced year of remarkable prosper
ity.
One concern alone, the Hamilton
Brown Shoe Company, which does the
largest shoe business in the world;
whose sales are published monthly
throughout the United States, and are
looked upon by many as reflection
of the condition of the country, re-
port a business this year of over nine
million dollars, showing an unusual
increase over the prosperous condition
of 19OS which is something remark
able.
Twenty-Five years ago this industry
was monopolized entirely by the New
England states. At that time st.
Louis jobbers started shoe manufac-
turing in a small way. Their efforts
met with success and the demand for
St. Louis made shoes rapidly increase
until now more shoes are manufactured
in this city than in any other city in
the world. A triumph for Western
shoe making.

VICIOUS FOX SQUIRREL
MAY BE TAKEN AWAY.
Animal Seems to BE a Fighter and
Complaint Has Been Made.

Animal Seems to Be a Fighter ana
Complaint Has Been Made.
AS a result of complaints which have
been made at police headquarters of
the vicious character of the fox squir-
rel which several days ago attacked
Sergt. Wood. and later sprang on Pa
trolman Davis. and painfully bit him
on the hand, the vicious little beast
may be taken from Forsyth Park.
1t was reported yesterday that the
squirrel bit a lady. Heretofore the lit
tie fellow has seemed very friendly
towards the ladies and children, but
according to the report made to the
police, he bit a lady on the hand while
she was attempting to keep him from
running on her.
One gentleman who has been ac-
customed to watch the squirrels in the
park, says he believes the vicious spir-
it exhibited by the animal is largely
due to the teasing, to which 1t had
been subjected by boys who play in
the park. Patrolman Davis was Bit
ten while trying to prevent some boys
from Turing the squirrel into a trap.

BACK TAXES PAID UP
BY THOSE INDICTED
Some Paid All Due and Others Paid
Half the Amount.

Some Paid All Due and Others PAID
Half the Amount.
The Savannah merchants, profession
al men. and liquor dealers who were
indicted by the last grand jury for
non-payment of specific taxes were
before Judge Cam in the Superior
Court yesterday. Announcement was
made that the taxes had been paid up
in the majority of cases, and partial
payments had been made in nearly all
the other cases.
Considering the fact that this was
the first time any such course had
been pursued, and that the offenSe
was one of carelessness, and not of
malice, Judge Cam let the offenders
down easy. Nolle prosequies were en-
tered in all cases where the taxes and
court costs had been paid in full. In
the other cases a half payment was
made, and the defendants given one
month in which to pay the other half.
Those who paid in full were Charles
Bachman, E. Kalameras. Harley c.
Cunningham, Charles and John Will
kins, Fred Denies. Mary jacobson,
w. H. Rainey. George Cooper, DR..
Oliveros. and James Mcguire.
Those who paid half of the specific
tax and the court costs and who were
given one month longer in which to
pay the other half were Paul Beren-
thern, w. B. Ferguson, and Theo.
Fincken.
When the case against John l.. Ar
cher was called the defendant was not
in the court room. Motion was made
by counsel for the state to estreat his
bond. Judge Cam, however, ordered
that the case go over until 10 o'clock
this morning, and then in case Mr..
Archer does not appear in the court
room the bond will be estreated.

tiary Sentence.
The bondsman of Benjamin F. Dick
erson announced yesterday morning he
would no longer stand on his bond and
turned the man over to the sheriff. q
The accused was taken to the Jail
shortly after noon, where he will be
put to work. Dickerson is the Black
Ankle district man who is alleged to
have whipped his wife to death and
who was convicted of voluntary man
slaughter Judge Cam sentenced him
to serve three years in the peniten-
tiary.
A determined effort was made by
counsel for Dickerson, Mr.. James F.
Evans, to free him of the sentence.
He appealed to the Supreme Court on
the ground that the verdict was in
sufficient on which to predicate judg-
ment, in that it did not specify whether
or not the manslaughter was in the
commission of a lawful or unlawful
act. Judge Cam ruled against this
position and the Supreme Court sus-
tanned him.
