TWELVE HUNDRED
VISITORS AT TYBEE
CentraFs Excursions Brought Larg-
est Crowd of Season.

eSN CEONFu Oh SEASON.
The CentraFs seashore specials
brought in a large crowd from interior
points yesterday than they have
brought before since their Inaugural
tion.
Four hundred and thirty people made
the trip to this city and the seashore
at Tybee from Macon. Augusta, Dublin
and intermediate points. They all
visited the island in the early part of
the day, and returned to the city only
in time to catch the trains on the re-
turn trip.
In the afternoon Savannahians be-
gan to visit the island. Six hundred
and tifty-ffve made the trip on the
2:30 o'clock train and the later trains
carried fair sized crowds The entire
travel to the island for the day was in
the neighborhood of 1900.
Although the tide was suited for
bathing in the morning, the fact that
1t was low in the afternoon didn't de-
ter the people from taking a dip, and
several hundreds availed themselves of
the opportunity to do so in the after
noon.
The visitors from the interior who
are not familiar with the ocean in
many of it's phases, may have thought
1T a very tame and placid pond on ac-
count of its condition yesterday, had
they not had an example of it's power
to prove the contrary, for the heavy
surf and high tides of last week have
torn away the whole of the front
walks of the new pavilion at Hotel
TYbee

SAVED BROTHER ENGINEER.

California papers are loud in their
praise of Mr.. w. E. Futch, President
of the Locomotive Engineers Insurance
Association, owing to his heroic res
cue of a brother engineer. Mr.. Futch
formerly resided at Brunswick and is
we'll known in Savannah.
An engineer named Montague had
been in bathing in the surf at Playa
del Rey, California, and became ex-
hausted. His screams for help at
tracted the attention of Futch and
disrobing as he ran, he hurried to the
beach and plunged into the water.
After a hard struggle he succeeded in
bringing Montague safely to shore. An
effort was made hwy the spectators
to carry the hero of the hour about on
their shoulder, but he modestly object
ed and hurried away from the crowd.

H. P. SMART WANTS
GOOD ROADS BUILT.
Thinks State should Do Work and
Use COnvicts for II.

Nsc COnNlcuh
Mr.. H. P. Smart is another Savan-
nathan who is deeply interested in the
movement for good roads in this state
in fact, he may be said to be one of
the pioneers of the movement, not only
in Savannah. but in Georgia
Speaking yesterday of the value of
good roads. ne said if they are built
they will bring everything else that the
state needs, including immigrants. and
that the settlers who will be attracted
will be of the best class.
He has no desire to see a lot of the
immigrants of the kind that have been
brought TO certain other parts of the
country brought TO Georgia. He doesn't
think they will add anything to the
good of the state. judging from the eff
rect they have had on certain other
communities. But he believes with the
good roads will come the best of peo-
pie from other states, anxious to settle
on the fine lands that will be opened.
and which are now unoccupied only
because their value has never been
properly brought to the attention of
the people who would buy them.
Mr.. Smart saws for more than ten
> Cdto uE IldS advocated d pan SlIllldF
to that recently suggested by Mayor
Herman Myers, the building of a wide
road that will run in an air line from
Savannah to Atlanta, and another that
viii traverse the middle of the state
from Augusta to the Chattahoochee,
with Columbus as its natural terminal.
These roads, Mr.. Smart thinks, should
be 100 feet wide, and should be built
to last. Shade trees could be planted
on the sides, and in a few years they
would be most attractive routes for
trips of all kinds, particularly of auto
mobilists.
The work should be done, Mr.. Smart
thinks, by the states convicts. BY US
ing the convicts the work would cost
only what materials for the work and
the food and care of the workmen. are
worth, and, further, by using the con-
victs in this way they would be taken
out of competition with free labor. If
the state will build good roads Mr..
Smart is satisfied the residents of the
nearby vicinities will follow suit and
build good highways to connect with
them, with the result that everybody in
the state will be benefited.

POLICE STOPPED
TICKET BROKER
THREATENED WITH ARREST.
COULD NOT GET LICENSE. AL
THOUGH HE WAS WILLING.

City VIII Refuse to License Ticket
Brokers if Railroads VIII Make
Proper OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Is Be

when Leonard Lippman Tried to
Do Business the Police Called n
HaIt-He Had Consulted an AttOr-
ney.
Plans to start another ticket brokers'
business were frustrated by the police
yesterday morning when Mr.. Leonard
Lippman was threatened with arrest If
he undertook to buy or sell excursion
tickets
Since Harry Karger retired from the
business of ticket scalper," and the
Mayor decided to issue no more IL
censes until Coulcil could see what
inducements the railroads had to offer
the city if it would refuse to license
the business. there has been talk of
a new Office in charge of Mr.. Lipp-
man.
Yesterday morning it was reported
at police headquarters that Mr.. Lipp-
man had a table on Bull street, and
was about to begin the purchasing and
selling of excursion tickets. Patrol
man Meldrim was hurried from head
quarters with instruction from the
superintendent to tell Mr.. Lippmau if
he attempted to do business he would
be placed under arrest. The threat had
the desired effect, although Mr.. Lipp-
man did not surrender without a strug-
gle.
Police Chief Was Firm.
The superintendent of police was
waited upon in his office and informed
that Mr.. Lippman was acting under
the advice of counsel. But the police
chief was obdurate and announced that
his decision to make an arrest If bust
ness was done was final.
To begin with, he stated, the
streets were not to be used for bust
ness purposes, except by special order
of the Mayor. Then, too, Mr.. Lippman
had no license to carry on the ebusi-
ness of A ticket scalper, and the city
ordinance does not permit man to
conduct a business without a license.
1t was pointed out to the superin-
tendent that Mr.. Lippman could not Sc
cure a license, since the city, just at
present, is not issuing any for the
business Of ticket broker. But this
was no concern of the police. and it
was stated that Mr.. Lippman would
simply have to grin and bear it. OF
course, it was explained. if he was ar
rested he could give bond, it being sug-
gested that he would make a test case
of the matter.
Threatened With Arrest.
But If we are forced to make a sec
ond arrest for the same offense," ex-
planned the superintendent, I'VE shall
follow the law and refuse to accept a
second bail. We have this right, and
we will exercise it,"
There was no understanding at that
time, but Mr.. Lippman did not at
tempt to carry on the business, so far
as the police were able to discover.
II is probable that Mayor Myers will
to-day appoint a committee to confer
with the railroads and see what they
VIII promise TO do If the city refuses
TO license ticket scalpers.
Upon this conference will depend the
fate of the ticket scalper in Savannah.
II Is probable that the matter will be
finally settled at the regular meeting
of City Council on Wednesday after
noon.

NOT BARKING YET,
SAYS DR.. LIE HARDY.
Was Bitten by Dog, That Some are
Certain Was Mad.


DR.. ]. C. LeHardy, who was several
days ago bitten by a dog that was
supposed by some to be mad, says the
wound is healing nicely, and he has
not yet felt any inclination to bark.
The healing of the bite is necessarily
slow, says DR.. LeHardy as the flesh
was torn in several directions. The
doctor, however, does not fear hydro
pi1obia.
Even if the dog had the rabies, DR..
LeHardy says he would not begin TO
feel the effects until nine days have
passed. He has no fear whatever from
tile bite, however, and treats the mat
ter lightly.
Until the nine days elapses, however,
there is no way of telling whether
there is anything to fear. The fact
that the wound is healing nicely does
not show that the dog was not mad
says DR.. I.eHardy. Whether mad or
not, the wound would heal just the
same, and there would be no develop
ments until the ninth day.
