FIRE CHIEF COMMENDS
PATROLMAN'S DISCRETION.

Thanks officer for Not Calling De-
pnrtment for Burning Chimney.
Speaking for the entire fire depart
ment, Fire Chief John E. Mcguire adj
dressed a communication to the super
intendent of police yesterday com
mending the thoughtfulness and discre-
ton of Patrolman Bieber in not turn
ing in an alarm for a burning CHM
ney. Chief Mcguire says:
1 notice an article in the Morning
News of this date under the caption
of Lady Wanted officer to Turn in
Alarm" in which 1t is said that a
report was made at police headquar-
tiers, in which officer Bieber was
"roundly censured'' because he would
not turn in an alarm for burning
chimney"
In connection with this matter,
desire to compliment officer Bieber
for his thoughtfulness and discretion
in this case. This officer was at one
time fireman and doubtless he appre-
ciates the danger our men are sub
jected to when required to answer an
alarm and appreciating this he has
exercised judgment and discretion
worthy of commendation, for which
the firemen are thankful

RUSSELL SECURED HIS
RELEASE AND MONEY.
Claim of Minor Was Entered by Fa-
Their of the Boy.


Wesley Russell, the young white man
who signed shipping articles at Mel
bourne, Australia, about five months
ago, and landed in Savannah several
days ago aboard hissyessel, the Heath
craig, a British trader, secured his dis
charge yesterday through the efforts
of Attorney Edward H. Abrahams.
AS soon as Russell arrived in Sa-
vannah he made a demand for his re-
lease on the claim he was a minor.
The master of theovessel told him he
could go, but that he would hold back
the salary coming TO him to cover any
expense that might accrue from filing
his place as fireman.
Russell objected to this, and wrote
his father the circumstances. Mr..
Abrahams was employed, and after a
conference between the attorney. the
British consul and the master of the
ship the latter agreed to give the boy
his discharge and all of his back sal
airy with the exception of five pounds,
which was held back to defray any
expenses that might accrue in filling
the vacancy.

TOURIST TRAVEL WILL
BE GREATER THAN EVER
And, of Course, Visitors viii Enjoy
Savannah's Attractions.


Savannnh's Attractions.
That the tourist traffic this year will
exceed that of last year is the belief
of Mr.. w. B. Clements. travelling pas
senger agent of the ocean Steamship
Company, who has just returned from
a two weeks stay in Florida.
During his trip Mr.. Clements visit
ed every portion of Florida and in
terviewed many hotel proprietors and
lessees. From the number of reserva-
tiOns. from the number of people who
have already arrived, and from the
enormous correspondence asking for
information, he has made his deduc-
ton relative to the probable extent or
the tourist business for the present
season. The Ocean Steamship Com
pany is directly interested in the tour
list trade, and each year comes in for
a generous portion of the business.
This means that the visitors will come
to this city.
II think Savannah ten times as at
tractive as Jacksonville" said Mr..
Clements. "Our city is beautiful, her
residents hospitable her climate
health promoting With these things
to start on there is no reason why
winter tourists should pass Savannah
by. Keep them here by concerted ac-
ton. AS a citizen of Savannah and
not as the representative of any trans
portation company, l am in favor of
calling a meeting of our business men
and taking action upon ways and
means of promoting our city's inter-
ests through the proper fostering of
the winter tourist business. 1 believe
the results would warrant the expendi-
ture of a considerable sum of money

Capt. Denham's Railway Career.
The departure of Capt. Denham and

ter of regret to many friends. He is
popular among his subordinates and is
an efficient railway man.
Capt. Denham's railway career be-
gan in 1870. when as a graduate OF
the Virginia Military Institute, he en-
tered the service of the Wilmington,

pointed assistant superintendent of the

WANT CURFEW ORDINANCE
FOR YOUNG NEGROES.
COIOred West Side Club Gets In the
Resolution Game.

Resolution Game.
A resolution, asking Council to pass
Curfew law for negro boys and girls
under the age of Is, and to establish
reformatory to which to send the
! offenders under such a law, was pass
ed at a meeting of the West Side Club.
a colored organization, called together
last night for the purpose of indorsing
the present city administration.
The administration was Endorsed and
a blanket resolution. asking for the
Curfew law and other innovations was
passed. Speeches were made by F. ].
Hilton, r. N. Rutledge, ]. E. Kim
ball and other members of the club.
The subject of all the speeches was
loyalty to the administration. Jacob
Wright the president, presided at the
meeting, and j. Dudley Hughes, act
ed as secretary.
Following is the resolution. which
asks for number of innovations:
BE it resolved. that we, the colored
voters of Chatham county, do earnest
ly request that the Mayor and Alder
men of the city of Savannah, have an
ordinance passed to prohibit the col
IS years from walking the streets after
$3.50 at night, without being accompa-
MED by some older person.
1T is not our object to have them
imprisoned, or sent to the Poor Farm,
but we do earnestly ask that the May
or and Aldermen select and purchase
a site and erect thereon, such buildings
that may be necessary to be used as
a reformatory.
1--WE also ask that not less than
twenty acres be purchased for the
same.
1--WE further ask Council to pave

Laurel Grove Cemetery, colored, and
that necessary sidewalks be laid

it become necessary to move the Geor-

GETTING MONEY

post of the Travellers Protective AS
ISOLATION, sent out to raise funds for
entertaining the national convention
next May, is any indication of the sue
cess which will attend the further eff
forts of the committee, it is safe to
say that when the knights of the Grip
gather in Savannah they will be shown
the time of their lives.
1t is the intention of the local post
to raise between $4,000 and $4,000 for
the entertainment Of the visitors. and
to do this they realize that every bust
ness house in Savannah will have to
contribute its part.
Perhaps there is no other national
organization in this country which will
benefit a city more than that of the
Travellers Protective Association. Only
the best of the members of the differ
ent posts are sent to the national con-
ventions, which insures that Savannah
will be oVerrun with good fellows and
lively spenders.
Many Inquiries Made.
Secretary Donlan, of the Executive
Committee is being flooded with in
quiries as to Savannah and surround
ings, also hotel accommodations. A
circular letter is being prepared, which
will contain all desired information,
and this will be forwarded to all in
quirers.
1t is yet too early to commence the
formation of a programme for the
week. Just how the visitors will be
entertained will depend largely on the
amount of money raised. The lowest
estimate is that there will be 1000 dele
gates, exclusive of wives and daugh-
tiers, to attend the convention. This
means at the lowest $21 900 for hotel
accommodations alone.
In addition to this the general lib
crafty of the travelingmen will count
for much, and every branch of bust
ness will be stimulated. But most Of
visitors, especially those from a dis
tance with the hospitality of the city,
as we'll as the many advantages Of
fered to home seekers in a business
way. For years the good effects of
good front to the visiting convention
will be felt, and not only should the
commercial firms of the city interest
themselves to see that it is a success,
but every line of business should be
represented on the subscription lists.
Committee Working Hard.
The committee will continue working
from now until the final arrangements
fot the entertainment of the visitors
have been made. 1t is no small job
to secure subscriptions and collect the
large amount which will be necessary
for the entertainment of such a large
body of people.
The time for the meeting of the con-
vention has been admirably chosen
Coming just before the excursion sea-
son commences to Savannah. it will
give a great impetus to business, and
the delegates from the Far Northwest
will see the city at it's best.

MORE CHURCHES WANT
PAVING BILLS REFUNDED.
Petition Will Be Presented to Coun-
ell Tomorrow Night.


ell Tomorrow Night.
By reason of the action of the City
Council at the last meeting in making
donations to certain churches and
charitable institutions to pay tax and
paving bills, other churches have now
put in petitions. In most instances the
churches have already paid the bills
and hold the treasurers receipt. They
ask that the money be refunded.
The Independent Presbyterian
Church, First Baptist, First Presbyte-
rian, st. Johns, and Christ Episcopal
and the Congregation Mickva Israel
will present a petition tomorrow night
asking Council to donate them the bills
heretofore paid for paving. After nam
ing the petitioners the petition reads:
Some years ago your petitioners were
required to pay assessments for the
paving of Bull street in front of their
respective houses of worship, and in
addition to this the trustees of the In
dependent Presbyterian Church were
required to pay an assessment for the
paving Of Oglethorpe avenue Christ
Church paid in addition to Bull street
for paving st. Julian, Congress and
Drayton streets. There was no abate-
ment of the claims, and the petition
ers were required to pay in full, no
donation of any kind being made by
the city to aid the paying. The petit
TONERS further show, that Council has
recently adopted the policy of donat-
ing to the churches, for the reasons
assigned in the preamble to the reso-
luton, amounts of money equivalent
to the assessments against the
churches. These reasons apply as COM
pletely to your petitioners as to the
other churches, and in view of this
policy they ask that the amount of
the bills already paid for paving be
donated
