CHURCH MEMBERS
USING WHISKY
CHARGE is MADE IN REPORT
OF TEMPERANCE COMMITTEE OF
SAVANNAH DISTRICT CONFERENCE.

Report Presented 10 Methodists at
differentiation to Strike Out the
Charge Brought on Warm Debate.
Second Charge Made Thnt $lSOOo
Had Been Spent for whisky in
EIectiOn-A Motion TO Strike OUT
This Charge Lost by Vote of ~
to 24-Ministers Disinclined TO
Discuss the Report.
At the conference of the Methodist
churches of the Savannah district just
ended at Millen, the report of the Com
mittee on Temperance brought on a
general discussion and warm con-
test. The conference adopted one clause
of the report by the small vote of q
TO "a.
The report of the committee was pre-
scented by the chairman, Rev. II. r.
Myers. 1t was strong and emphatic
and several motions were made to
strike out certain clauses. The jug
trade, the manufacture and sale of do
nestle wines, blind tigers and the cor
ruption of the ballot through the use
of money and whisky were roundly
scored.
There was also clause in the re-
port which scored the use of tntoXi-
cants by church members and church
officials No names We're mentioned,
but it was stated that it had been re-
ported that members of the church and
several who hold official positions were
using intoxicants. A motion was made
to strike out this part of the report,
and the contest was on.
1t was claimed by the opposition that
inasmuch as the report in that particu-
lar was vague and uncertain that it
should not be adopted. 1t was fur
thermore a reflection on the church
body and unless charges more definite
were preferred, it was contended that
the clause should be stricken from the
report. BY a close vote the conference
decided against it.
The next contest came with the
clause referring to the use of money
and liquor during elections for the pur
pose of securing votes. This section
of the report made the direct charge
that in one election the sum of $4,000
had been spent, the greater part for
whisky. A motion was promptly made
to strike this clause from the report.
A warm debate followed the motion.
1t was contended by those who were in
favor of striking the clause that a
charge was made which was almost
ridiculous on it's face, and that, fur
thernore, it was a charge which was
not susceptible of proof. Finally the
motion was put and carried by a vote
of q to "a
The Savannah ministers were disip-
clined to discuss the matter upon their
return from the conference. The posi-
ton was taken that it was for the best
interests of all that no names be men,
toned in connection with the discus
sion.

LICENSE FEE WAS PAID
TO CITY MARSHAL
Mayor Says Time Must Not be Ex-
tended by Marshal.

tended by Marshal.
The dilatory green grocer against
whom complaint was made paid the
balance due on his license yesterday,
and there will hardly be any further
developments in the case. He had been
given until yesterday by the marshal,
with the understanding he would be
put on the docket if he failed to do so.
The part that the Butchers Protec-
tive Association took in the matter had
nothing to do with the collection of
the money yesterday, Marshal Dreeson
says. The money would have been
paid or the green grocer would have
been placed on the docket, whether the
Butchers Association took the matter
up or not, the marshal claims.
Mayor Myers yesterday addressed the
marshal a letter, telling him he had
no right to grant time on executions
and he did so at his own risk. He
would be held personally responsible il
money were not collected where the
time had been extended. the Mayor
said. Only the Finance Committee has
the right to extend the time.
Marshal Dreeson wrote to Mr.. ]. f,
May the president of the Butchers AS
ISOLATION, telling him he would appre-
ciate it if he would call his attention
to any businesses that are being run
without licenses. The marshal says this
is not the first time he has made this
request.

MistriaI Resulted.

Three Acquittals by Juries and One
MistriaI Resulted.
There was not the usual rush Of
criminal business in the City Court
yesterday. There were only nine cases
tried, and four of these were trials by
jury. Five prisoners were tried by the
court and convictions were secured in
all these.
The case against Sol Sullivan, charged
with receiving stolen goods, resulted in
a mistrial and not in an acquittsl, as
has been published. After being out
some time the jury announced to the
court that there was no chance OF
reaching a verdict. and the mistrial
was declared by Judge Norwood.
Henry Anderson, charged with whip
ping his wife, Frank Giles, charged
with larceny from the house, and John
Cooper, charged with cheating AND
swindling all demanded trials by jury

all three cases. The following convic'

UNSIGNED TICKETS
MUCH MORE CONVENIENT.
Railroad Man Tells of Dement'S OF
Anti-ScaIping Ordinance.

Anti-ScnIpinE Ordinance
Last night the Atlanta excursionists
who had spent three days in this city
and at Tybee, returned home, a special
train being run at $50 O'Clock. A
number had left previously on regu-
lar trains, so that one special was
found sufficient for the party.
Accompanying the party were Mr..
Warren II. Fogg. travelling passenger
agent of the Central of Georgia at
Atlanta, and Mr.. E. j. Walker. FlorA-
da passenger agent of the road.
I'VE brought 2SS excursionists to Ty-
bee and 236 to Savannah" said Mr.:
Fogg Yesterday. Alarge number of
the Tybee excursionists spent some
time in this city, so that the direct
gain was large from the crowd
brought in.
I'm Atlanta since the City Council
made the ticket scalping business I'M
lawful, the privilege of stopovers has
been granted, and the city has profit
ed greatly. If Savannah would fol-
low a similar course numerous bene-
fits would arise. We brought the pres
ent excursion here on unsigned tickets.
1T had been reported that there
were no ticket scalpers here, but we
find it otherwise. It's a lot of trouble
for passengers to have to sign tickets,
but the railroads must have it done
to protect themselves against their
tickets being sold and used in a way
not anticipated.
Getting ticket brokers out of a city
gives the travelling public many adj
vantages, which they otherwise will not
get. ="

BLOCKED CROSSING
OVER SIX MINUTES.

That the Gwfnnett street subway
will be a great convenience, as well
as safeguard against accidents, was
illustrated yesterday afternoon at the
Bolton street crossing, when an At
lantic Coast Line train blocked troll
ley car going to the ball park for six
and a half minutes by a stop watch.
Under the city ordinance a train is
not allowed to block a crossing for
more than three minutes. Only the
street car track and one side of the
crossing were blocked. The train did
not extend all the way across, so the
passengers on the car were able TO
get past by walking.

Danger of Rabies From Dog Bite he
Iieved to be Past.
Better to-day, thank you" said DR..
]. c. LeHardy. when he saw a repre-
sentative of the Morning News yester-
day.
Il haven't barked a single bark I've
been practicing, though, and find that
everybody who hears me is ready to
jump, for fear I've got 'em.
But, seriously, / am all right now,

will be well soon, 1 have no doubt.
That dog wasn't mad, anyway. But
wasn't bit scared, and If it had been
ii wouldn't have scared me, either.
DR.. LeHardy looked well and his
hand was not so heavily bandaged as
on the day before. There seems to be
little doubt that all danger of rabies
has past, as more than ten days have
elapsed since he was bitten.

critical condition.
There was no improvement percepti-

the attending physician, stated. The
manner In N,nich Mr.. Zittrouer was
hurt has not been positively determined
and IL is doubtful II IL win ever be
known just how he fell from his BIZ

BANK CLEARINGS GROWING.

For the third successive week Sa-
vannah's bank clearings have shown a
handsome increase over the CORE
spending periods of the previous year.
The clearings for the week ending
yesterday showed an increase over
those of the same period last year of
Sis, 005 .02.
It is accounted for by the constantly
increasing business of the city, and,
though not so large as the increases of
the two former weeks, yet shows that
the business of Savannah is in a
healthy condition. and increasing at
a most satisfactory rate.

have always been collected that dis
tance from the market.

TROUBLE WITH BRICK
ON WEST BROAD STREET
City Held Up Cash, But Matter Was
Adjusted.


Adjusted.
The city refused TO accept the brick
used in paving West Broad street, but
the matter was adjusted yesterday.
The directors of public works found
that a number of the bricks were faulty
and he notified the company furnishing
them that they would not be paid for
at the contract rate.
Yesterday morning Mr.. Frank Clarke,
of the Augusta brick company met the
public works director and the matter
was adjusted after ar inspection of the
pavement. Mr.. Clarke agreed TO
replace all defective bricks and TO give
a surety company bond for ten years
as a guarantee that the pavement lasts.
This arrangement was satisfactory to
the city and the bill for the brick will
be paid at once.
II is thought the pavement will be
all right as soon as the defective bricks
are replaced. Even Of IL is not, though,
the city will be amply protected by
bond.
