SIMPLY A REPORT.
Rumor of Pending Change in Running
Burlington Trains.

From Wednesdays Daily.
Among other railroad r1mors in cir
culation is one concerning d change
said to be pending by which the Bur
lington company is to have it's Pa
cific coast outlet over the Great Nor
thern, instead of the Northern Pa
cifc, as at present. Who is respon-
sible for the story, or how it original
ed, is not known, but it is given Cir
culation as though originating from
an authoritative source.
AS told the tale has it that soon
after the beginning of the new year
the through Burlington trains, both
freight and passenger, are to be di-
verified to the Great Northern at Sioux
City and thence run to the coast over
the Hill line. Explanation of the ru.
NOR is given in the statement that be.
cause of the decision of the United
States supreme court relative to the
merger effected by the Northern Sc.
curities company there is to be a re-
adjustment and that Hill will lose his
control of the Northern Pacific, while
still remaining a factor as far as the
Burlington is concerned. Rather than
see the Northern Pacific continue in
the enjoyment of the benefit it is re-
ceiving under existing traffic arrange
ments, it is said Hill conceived the
notion of diverting the Burlington
business onto his own line as near
the source as possible, hence the re-
ported pending change. The North
ern Pacific, of course, would still get
the business originating between the
Missouri and Billings, but the through
business would go the other way. 1t
is said that the new plan includes the
running of two through passenger
trains each way daily from Sioux
City to Puget sound and also two
freight trains.
The report has been received along
the line of the Great Northern and
newspapers published in towns on
that road are giving it much import
arce, especially those at division
points.

MUST "a II N
Court Holds Montana Concern to Be a
Lottery.

Chicago, Nov. 29.-The appellate
court yesterday decided that the Mon
tana Mining. Loan and Investment
company is a lottery and that it's
manager, j. J.. Jacobs, must pay the
fine of $1,475 imposed by Judge Chef
lain. The offices of the company
here were raided in April last year.
The company's alleged scheme to
evade the lottery laws, by which it
succeeded in operating for four years,
included a plan of issuing stock GER
~tificates once each month. Its stock
holders were given "loans," varying in
amount from 81 to $4,000. 1t was
shown in court that none of the
'loans" were ever repaid nor was Sc
curity demanded by the company.

TAGGART WILL HELP BRYAN.

Democrats Again Talk Reorganization
With Nebraskan as ~Reorganizer.
Indianapolis, Nov. 29.-The confer
ence between western members of the
democratic national committee and
Chairman Taggart at French Lick is
beginning to bear fruit, and it is an
nounced by friends of the national
chairman that he will not only not op-
pose the efforts of Bryan to reorganize
the party, but will cordially join with
him in the attempt.
Mr.. Taggart, it is said, has become
convinced that the only salvation of
the party lies in separating it from
the erstwhile gold democratic contin-
gent in the east, which managed the
national executive committee in the
last campaign.

Concerning Your Home.

From the number OF inquiries it ap-
pears that the object of the Billings
Building and Loan Association has not
been fully understood.
Sine people have thought that the
association built houses and then sold
them on the installment plan.
While that is practically the result,
the method must be viewed from an
other standpoint.
The association is not a charitable
o1ganization-it is a business con-
Germ, intended to make money in three
ways: First, by providing a safe in
vestment for local capital; second,
by saving money for local home
builders; third, by retaining both the
earnings and savings in Ballings.
1t is composed OF local bankers,
professional and business men, who
will profit indirectly by the home use
OF the money used.
Its objects are to assist the man
With-a-family, and the man-who-is-
going-to-get a family to get a home
for that family. Assist" mind you,
not give" him a home.
That assistance is given only to
those who show themselves worthy.
1t is a plain business proposition
whose new methods make it philan-
thronic in effect.
Henry White, secretary, No. z N.

about it.

Some Interesting Advance Figures
Taken From Treasurer B~arret's
Biennial Report.

One OF the interesting reports that
will be made by the different state Of
ficers tomorrow, the beginning OF the
states fiscal year, will be the biennial
statement of the treasurer, All. Bar

for sometime and will show in detail
all the transactions of the treasurer's
office for the period covered by it.
Although it will not be completed
until the close of today's business,
most of the accounts were practically
closed some days ago and portions Of
the report have already been given
publicity, making it possible to figure
out what the states receipts have
been during the two years ending to-

HOW TO GET RICH.
Lesson 3, Chapter 1.

Don't play blind mans bluff during
your short time on earth. The game
of life should be played with your
eyes open. Take a look ahead and
see what is the best you can do with
your energy. The hard work in the
shop, at the desk, or behind the coun-
ter. is energy; the use of this force is
a constant drain upon your brains,

ergy into money by work; therefore,
if you waste your money you are
wasting your life. Money, as we know
it, is the value Of all things. put into
concrete shape, so that 1t may be
available for all things. A dollar
means nothing in itself; 1t is worth
nothing until you buy something. The
more you get out of your dollar the
more you get out of your brains, blood
and bones. Many men own an auto
mobile, a pianola, a photograph, a
horse and buggy, a piano and other
transient things, but don't own a lot!
In fact many men never own any
thing that will sell for 10 cents on the
dollar a month after it is bought! OF

a man who surveys the future as far
as he can see it in his mind that 1t is
playing blind mans bluff" with life to

with an automobile or a piano! OF

CONFEDERATE VETERANS
ELECTED OLD OFFICERS.
Little other business Marked the
Annual Meeting of Camp.

Little other Business Marked the
Annual Meeting of Camp.
At noon yesterday the Confederate
Veterans Association. Camp No. 756,
held its annual meeting. Besides the
reading of the minutes of the proceed
ings Of the last Memorial Day and the
election of officers, there was no bust
ness transacted at the meeting. All of
the old officers Of the association were
reelected. They are as follows:
PreSident-L. G.. Young.
First Vice PRESIDENT. r. Dillon.
Second Vice Presidential. S.
Dreese.
Third Vice President-D. B. Morgan.
Secretary-James w. McIntire.
Adtutant-J. p White.
Treasurer-R. F. Baker.
Assistant Secretary-J. H. H. Os-
borne.
Sergeant circumstances Leonard.
When Capt. Young called for the
election of officers, Secretary Mcintyre
read the resignation of Maj. j. r.
Sheldon, who had been nominated for
vice president. with Capt. Dillon. Capt.
Dillon at once stated, that as he had
been honored in the past by the office,
that his name also be withdrawn from
nomination.
Capt. Bloodworth then moved that
Capt. Dillon be asked to reconsider,
and the motion was so enthusiastically
received that he stated that if it was
the wish of the camp he would serve
again.
Mr.. Tunno took the floor and object
ed to the election of Capt. Dillon on
the ground that he was a member of
another camp, contrary to the
constitution and bylaws of the asso-
citation. A motion was at once made to
table and unanimously carried. The
secretary was then directed to cast the
vote for Capt. Dillon.
The first official act of Capt. Young,
after the reelection was completed,
was the appointment of standing COM
mittees. These are the same as last
year, with the exception of Capt F.
D. Bloodworth as chairman of the Me-
mortal Committee, vice Capt. J. p
White. who resigned on account of
business rush.
A number of addresses of a reminis-
cent character were delivered by men,
bers of the camp.

Petit Jurors Are Dismissed.
1t is probable that a jury selected
from the grand jury will try the case
Of Lowe and others against the city
of Savannah, otherwise known as the
Emmett Park case.
The grand jury has been summoned
to meet at 10 this morning, whereas
the usual meeting hour is 3 o'clock
The petit jurors in Judge Seabrook's
court have been dismissed for the term
and those in Judge Cams court have
been excused until tomorrow morn
ing.
Owing to the fact that Judge Cam
is disqualified, Judge Seabrook will
preside. The principal object in plac-
ing the case before the grand jurors
is the greater elimination of bias. 1t
has been a number of years since the
trial of any case has been heard by
members of the grand jury, but such a
course is permissible according to law.
There have been a few instances in
the Savannah courts.
The litigation promises to consume
two days. Col. William Garrard will
appear for the city and Maj j. Ferris
Cam for the plaintiffs. The result of
the trial is awaited with considerabl BILE
interest, as the case involves the title
of the city to Emmett Park.

A telegram was received from the

morning, stating that an officer would

Jenkins arrived last night, and called
at police headquarters to make ar

James took his arrest and confine-

When Mr.. Streyer returned to Ma

President and General Manager Wright
that James appeared to be treating
the whole matter lightly and it was
for this reason that it was decided to
prosecute the case. Mr.. Streyer had a
long talk with James about the case.

AUDITORIUM IN
COLONIAL PARK
SUGGESTED BY MAYOR MYERS,
CITY MIGHT FURNISH SITE, IF
PEOPLE ERECT BUILDING.

Rear End of Park Was Never Used
as Cemetery and Is Available for
the Purpose, Though 1t Is Not
Quite Wide EnOuEh-By Moving
Only Two of the Graves, an Adj
mirabIe Site Would BE Secured.
Mayor Ready TO Render Assist
ance.
What Savannah needs and needs
badly is a large auditorium" said
Mayor Myers yesterday.
The matter has been discussed in
the past and nothing has been accom-
plished, but it should not be allowed
to drop. for one am ready to sign
a subscription towards the building of
an auditorium"
Mayor Myers says the city would
probably furnish a site, if sufficient
sum for the erection of the building
can be raised. He offers to look after
that end of the matter, if some one
will undertake to get up subscriptions
for the building. He thinks the neces-
sary funds could easily be raised.
city Furnish Site.
The Mayors plan is for the city to
furnish the lot and for a stock company
to be formed to build the auditorium.
He believes all the necessary stock
would be subscribed, if some influential
man would take hold of the matter.
The site that is suggested as most
available for the Auditorium is Colonial
Park. The rear of the park facing
Abercorn street was never used as a
cemetery and is available, but it is
not quite wide enough.
The cemetery portion of the park
could not be used. By moving just two
graves, however, a sufficient frontage
on Abercorn street for the auditorium
could be obtained.
Colonial Park Suggested.
Colonial Park is the best site that
we could obtain for the auditorium"
said d city official in discussing Mr..
Myers plan. Il believe we could Sc
cure permission to move the two
graves. The auditorium would add to
the attractiveness of the park, be-
sides filling long felt want here.
If Savannah only had an audito-
rum, we could get twice the number
of large conventions that now come to
us" said Mr.. Myers. Even as it is,
we get great many, but we should
provide a meeting place.
1T would be a great thing for the
people of the city, too. Public gather
ings of every kind could be held there.
l want to see the auditorium built and
l am willing to do my part, if the peo-
pie will raise the money for the build
ing"
Might Use Perry Lane.
If ii is found impossible to get the
two graves moved, that would interfere
with the building, a bill may be put
through the next session of the Legis-
lature to narrow the lane that bounds
the park on the south. This is one
of the widest lanes in the city.
In that way it is thought sufficient
ground could be obtained for the au-
ditoIium. The auditorium should be
ninety feet wide, the Mayor thinks. He
believes a suitable building could be
put up for about $25,00O or 100000.
