STEAM LAUNCH DISABLED
DOWN SAVANNAH RIVER.
Party Due to Arrives O'clock Was
DELAYED Over Four Hours,

Party Due to Arrive O'clock Was
Delayed over Four Hours.
A party of ladies and gentlemen went
down the river yesterday on the
launch Louise on a pleasure trip and
were due to return to the city at s
o'clock last night. When they failed
to show up by 9 o'clock their friends
became very much concerned as to
their safety. GH
At II o'clock the party had not re-
turned and an effort was made by the
friends of several of the ladies aboard
the boat to charter a tug and go in
search of the missing launch, but be-
fore the party could find a tug the
launch arrived at the Seaboard Air
Line ferry wharf.
The reason given for the delay was
that several miles below the city the
engine of the Louise broke down, and
it was several hours before the ma
chinery could be repaired so that the
boat would run. 1t was after mid
night when the launch arrived.

TWO VACANCIES
To Be FILLED
ON COUNTY COMMITTEE.
BERNHARDT AND GARRITY WILL
PROBABLY BE CHOSEN.

Meeting of Executive Committee
Called for Monday Night, in City
Court Room, by Chairman Law
rence-BeyOnd the Naming of Two
Committeeman and the Selection
of Date for the Primary, Little
Will BE Done-state Rules win
Govern the Primary.
A meeting of the Chatham County
Democratic Executive Committee has
been called for Monday night at $3.50
o'clock by Mr.. A. A. Lawrence, the
chairman. At that time ]. C. Bern
hardt and ]. ]. Clarity will probably
be chosen to fill vacancies on the COM
rnittee.
A date is to be selected for the
county primary, and rules are to be
adopted. AS has already been stated
in the Morning News, April 20, the
date of the state primary, will be Sc
lected by the county committee. The
state rules will also have to be adopt
ed
The meeting of the committee is to
be held in the City Court room. The
committee now consists OF A. A. Law
renee, chairman; r, ]. Davant, A. B.
Cummings, M. ]. O'Leary, A. M. Lef-
6er. w. T. Hussey, John Juchter, Jo-
seph S. Walker, Richard Wickham.
George L. Hartman, G. w. WILLY, Jr.,
r. L. Colding, John Kuck, T. j.
Naughtin, John T. Glatigny, ]. Rob-
ert Creamer, James Mcbride, Charles
A. Lamotte, John ]. Stafford, Max
Lehwald, Neil Gildea and Robert M.
Martin.
There Are Two Vacancies.
Mr.. William T. Leopold, who died
several months ago, was a member
of the committee. Mr. James E. Cum
bea, who is now away from Savan-
nah, was one of the members Also
With the exception of these two va
cancies, the committee is complete as
1t now stands.
The committee Atself will fill these
vacancies, and only two names have
so far been suggested for the places,
John C. Bernhard and ]. ]. Clarity.
Practically the only business before
the committee will be the selection Of
the date for the primary and the adop-
ton Of rules to govern it. The work
of the committee on these two points
can be forecasted with certainty. The
state Executive Committee will be fol-
lowed in each case.
Much Interest in Primary.
The primary this year is of more than
usual interest, for the terms of every
elective officer in the Court House ex-
pires this year, and the vacancies will
be filled at this primary. The terms
of the county commissioners, who are
elected for four years, also expire.
The judge of the Superior Court is
TO be elected and the solicitor general
Judge G. T. Cam and Solicitor Cen
eral w. w. Osborne will both doubt
less be elected without opposition.
Judges and solicitors are voted upon
all over the state. All the other cleo
tive officers in the Court House will
also be voted for
If there is no opposition to the pres
ent administration forces, it is very
probable that all Of the present officers
will be reelected without opposition,
with possibly one exception.

WILL DETERMINE PLACE
FOR HOLDING CONVENTION.
March IL Congressional Committee
VIII Agree ON Primary.

March IL Congressional Committee
VIII Agree ON Primary.
When the Democratic Executive
Committee of the First Congressional
district meets at the Court House on
Saturday, March II. it will be decided
where the Congressional convention
will be held, as well as the date for
holding the primary.
The last convention was held at
Statesboro, but it is doubtful if this
place will be selected again, since one
of the candidates is from there. For
the same reason Savannah might not
be chosen. AS has been stated in the
Morning News, it is practically certain
that the primary will be called for
April 90 at which time state and coun-
,ty officers will be chosen.
Since the friends of Mr.. ]. A Bran
men of Bulloch claim that he will carry
enough counties to give him seven
teen votes, which would mean tie, it
is interesting to know how many dele
gates to the Congressional convention
each county in the district is entitled
to. The friends of Congressman Les
ter are confident that he will be nomi-
mated on the first ballot, and say that
Mr.. Brannen cannot even get seven
teen votes.
There are ten counties in the First
Congressional district, and each county
is entitled to twice as many delegates
as it has representative in the General
Assembly. The delegates to the con-
vention are always named from among
the supporters of the successful cam
didate. The following shows how
many delegates each county is entitled

NEITHER SIDE WON
IN ADMIRALTY CASE.
No Damages Awarded to Either
Party by Judge speer.

No Damages Awarded to Either
Party by Judge speer.
No damages were awarded to either
party in the admiralty case of the
Neptune Towing Company against the
schooner Sumner. The former filed
a suit for $1,000 against the latter
alleging that the schooner was re-
sponsible for the collision. A counter
suit asking damages to the amount
of 5000 was filed by the owners of the
Sumner against the Towing Company.
Arguments in the case were conclud-
ed yesterday morning and Judge Speer
filed his opinion. No damages were
awarded to either party to the suit
and each must bear the costs OF its
suit The reason given for not award
ing damages was that neither the
libellant nor the respondent had a
preponderance of evidence. Only three
of the witnesses in the case were dis
interested.
