SEVEN DEFENDANTS
BEFORE MARTIAL
Trouble for Blues Who Were Alb
sent from Inspection.

TrOuDle Tor Blues VINO were AD-
sent from Inspection.
Seven members of the Republican
Blues, Company NJ, of the First Regi-
ment. Infantry, were defendants be-
fore regimental court-martiaL held in
the quarters of Company H, German
Volunteers, last night.
The men were Privates w. E. Neve,
r. e. Bennett, c. S. Sickel, Marion
Hester, r. L. Miller and w. H. Tut
tie and Corpl. John S. Travis.
The charge in each case was being
absent from inspection of the company
March 2. Private ]. w. Stanfield was
also to have been tried on this charge,
but he could not be found to have the
necessary papers served on him, and
his case was not brought up.
The court consisted of Maj. Edward
S. Elliott, president; Capt. Robert M.
Hitch, Capt. John Bell and Lieut.. c.
findings of the court will be forwarded
to the Governor and will not be an
nounced to the public or the persons
tried until he has passed on them. The
penalty in the case of a verdict of
guilty in each case means dismissal
from the service.
Each of the accused men had an ex-
cuse, or more than one, of more or less
value. In the case of several of them
the trouble was that the excuse had
not been made to the company COM
Tnander before the inspection, nor after
1t, until the charges that brought them
before the court-martial had been
made.

STOLEN SUIT CASE FOUND

Thief Had Hole i'm side, but Was
Frightened Away.
A dress suit case, which was stolen
yesterday morning from No. 119 Perry
street, west, was found later in the day
by Patrolman r. T. Davis at Jefferson
street and Perry lane, with all of its
contents intact.
The thief had not been able to get
the suit case open, as it was locked
and he had cut a large hole in the side
to examine the contents. Nothing,
however, had been taken out of it. 1t
is thought the thief must have been
examining the contents in the lane and
was frightened away by some ones ap-
proach.
At the time the suit case was found
it was not known to whom it belong
ed. But the owner called at police
headquarters last night to report the
theft and found his property. The
suit case belonged to ]. B. Harold of

SAVANNAH HARBOR is
IN GOOD CONDITION.
Slight ShOaIing Near Old Water
works and Long Island Crossing.

Slight ShOaIing Near Old Water
works and Long Island Crossing.
An official inspection was made of
the work that has been done in Sa-
vannah harbor by Col. James B.
Quinn, division chief of United States
Engineers, and the inspection shows the
harbor is in good condition in almost
every respect. In only two places is
there any evidence of filling-in or
shoaling.
One of these Is near the old water
works, and the other near Long Is
land crossing, between Venus Point and
the quarantine station. All of the ma
terial which has filled in is soft and
yielding, and will yield easily to
dredging. There is still sufficient
money on hand to re-dredge these
parts of the channel.
Otherwise the channel Is in excep-
tionally fine condition. There is a ten
dency for the current to scour, and
this will aid greatly in keeping the
channel clear, thus reducing the cost
of maintenance.

ROAST FOR POLICE
FROM COMMISSION.
Park and Tree Commissioners Reg
istercd Strong Kick.

Park and Tree Commissioners Reg
istered Strong Kick.
Complaint has been lodged with the
Mayor and aldermen by Chairman P.
D. Daff1n and Vice Chairman C. S.
Ellis of the Park and Tree Commits
sion, because of depredations commit
ted in Colonial Park.
Vice Chairman Ellis, who has con-
troll of the park, has written a letter
to the chairman on the subject
and Mr.. Daffin enclosed the letter
to the Mayor and aldermen with a
brief note to the effect that he has
frequently called the attention of the
police to the matter.
The letter by Mr.. Ellis contains. a
roast for the police department. One
paragraph of the letter is as follows:
This park adjoins the police bar
racks-the whole of the area being
visible from the police building-and it
would seem practicable for the police
department to prevent these outrages
on pubic decency as well as the sys-
tematic destruction of the public prop
ertV."
Another portion of the letter reads:
1T is impossible for our force avail
able to protect the public property in
the park, or to prevent violations.
THE trees and the beautiful hedge
on the south side of the park are con-
tinually being broken and despoiled in
some instances by boys, who break off
the branches for chimney sticks in
other instances, simply for mischief.
The tombs, gravestoReS and shrub
berry are constantly being broken down
and ruined by children playing over
and around them, and, worse than all,
this sacred spot, consecrated to the
memory of the dead, and committed
to the care of the municipal authori-
ties, is habitually desecrated."
These communications from the Off
GERS of the Park and Tree Commission
will be presented to Council at it's
meeting tonight.

him to take it up. He had to attend

Leave whitaker street.
At the recent conference between the
county and city officials and officers
Of the Savannah Electric Company,
relative to the garbage nuisance, it
was decided, not only to move the
garbage dump on the county farm a
greater distance from the Isle of
Hope tracks, but also to take the gar
bage to the farm by some other route
than Whitaker street.
The selection of the new route for
the garbage cars has been left with
Alderman Davant, the chairman of the
Streets and Lanes Committee, and the
director of public works. The officers
of the electric company will. of course
have to agree to the route selected by
these two, but it is understood almost
any route will be satisfactory to the
company.
