order at about 10 o'clock. He stat.
ed that i'was an adjourned meeting
aud that it wai in order to proceed
to the business for which the Con-
vention bad come into being.
l. r Medeiro' was tbs secretary
aud f w Weed the interpreter.
Fred Turrill moved that the Con-
vention nominate only two candi-
dates for Senator. John Emmeluth
suggested to add to the motion that
the Fourth and Fifth Districts each
nominate one candidate. The sug
gestion was accepted and it became
part OF the origiosl motion. Duly
seconded by F j Tesla. <
w A Kinney said that W hen the
vote should be put aud taken, he
would require that it be taken
standing. By doing SOFT would go
to show the stand taken by the
Democrats in regard to the attitude
OF Cecil Brown against the Exscu-
tive and his administration. IL was
not Brown so much, thought Mr.
Emmeluth but the principle iovolv-
cd and which is the main plank OF
our platform and which is to be the
chief issue of this coming campaign
He therefore moved that the
expression should be MAIDS by a
standing vote. Frequently applaud
ed.)
This was seconded by T j Tesla,
who spoke in Hawaiian, being him
self native" He appealed to all
Hswaiians present to so place their
expression on record. Personally
he was not Brown man, but he felt
that the principle he advocated of
opposition to the Executive should
be strongly endorsed by Hawaiians
themselves.
j w Bipikane expressed himself
a. being strongly opposed to Cscil
Browo. who was one of those rsspou
sible for the overthrow and annexa-
ton. AS he had not signed any Of
the Democratic club rolls, he should
not be considered. SIT we should
elect him, what assurance have We"
asked Mr. Bipikane, "that he will be
with us. He is Republican and
now is against his party"
The Kinney motion being put,
was carried almost unanimously by
9 standing vote. Then the origin
Turrill motion was also put and oar
aied.
Nominations for Senators being in
order, the Fourth District had the
right of way. Stephen Umauma
placed Msjor E a f Wolter ia nomi
nation and the name was received
with cheers.
Then followed the Fifth District
FJNTesta placed Frank r Harvey
in nomination, saying that he war

CASHED FRIENDS CHECK
AND WAS ARRESTED.
E. d. Causey Was Taken in Charge
for short Time.

Upon a telegram charging forgery,
E. D. Causey, an employee of the Mill
Haven Company, who came to Sa-
vannah from Triton last Saturday, was
arrested yesterday at the Pulaski
House by Detective Nose Davis. a
long distance telephone message to
Triton Strengthened the matter out, and
Mr. Causey was at once released.
Mr.. Causey says he cashed $40 check
for a friend, indorsing it, and had the
station agent at Triton cash it for
him. The check proved to be worth
less, and the authorities were notified.
The sheriff wired the superintendent
of police here TO have Mr.. Causey ar
rested.
When taken in charge by the detec-
tive, he explained how he had gotten
the check, and asked to be allowed
to telephone TO Triton. 1t was agreed
over the phone that the case would
be dropped if the money and costs Of
the warrant We're made good. This
was done, and Mr.. Causey was re-
leased. He had not been locked up at
all, but was detained at police head
quarters until the matter was adjust
ed. There was no evidence of criminal
intent on his part and his friends re-
GREETED the unpleasant position in
which he had been placed through the
good intention of aiding a friend.

NEW APARTMENT HOUSE
TO BE ERECTED.
WIZ BE known as OgIethorpe and
Have Nine Apartments.

Work on a three-story apartment
house, which will face on President
street at Abercorn and run back to
State street. will be started as soon as
a building permit can be obtained from
the city. The apartments are TO be
erected by Messrs. ]. S. Cooper and
A. A. Artley. The estimated cost is
$4,000 or $4,000.
The clearing away of the old build
ing from the lot has been in progress
for several days. The new apartment
house will be known as the Oglethorpe.
1t will really be three, three-story
houses, connected in the front and rear,
but with open courts between each
of them. The entrances to the apart
ments are to be arranged in Il novel
and attractive way.
There will be three apartments in
each house, nine in all. They will be
fitted up with all modern conveniences.
The buildings are to be frame struc-
lures, covered with stucco. Expanded
metal laths will be used under the out
side cement. The stucco building, it is
asserted, is coming more and more
into use in the larger cities.

Committee TO Raise Funds Made
Report to Managers.
A report to the board of managers
of the Oglethorpe Club was made last
night by the committee appointed by
that organization to consider the mat
ter of securing a new home for the
club.
The committee consisted of Maj. w.
w. Williamson, chairman; Mr.. Hal H.
Bacon and Mr. J. d. Carswell Mai.
Williamson did not feel at liberty to
make public the recommendations of
the committee, though he stated that
future steps in the matter of securing
the home will rest with the board of
managers.
1t is understood that the club had
in view not the rental or lease of new
quarters, but the purchase of a home
of its own. For this purpose it was
estimated that between 49,, 900 and $40,-
coo would be needed and that it was
to see IL this amount could be raised
that the committee was appointed. AS
the committee had not succeeded in
raising anything like the required
amount up to a few days ago. 1t is
probable that this information was the
chief fact embodied in its report.

MANY RESERVATIONS
FOR TYBEE SEASON.
Hotels TO Open Up for Summer Sea-
son on Sunday.

That the present season promises to
be an unusually fine one for Tybee is
shown by the number of reservations
that the hotels at that resort have
already been called on to make, as we'll
as by the excellent schedules that the
railroad will operate between the is
land and the city and from interior
points to the island.
At Hotel Tybee alone the following
prominent persons have already book
ed either a cottage or quarters in the
hotel proper for the summer: Mr. A.
J. Ives, Mr.. George F. Tennille, Judge
Henry McAlpin, Mr.. H. NJ. Steele, Mr..
F. II. Miller Of Augusta, Mr.. George
w. Tiedeman. Mr.. f. c. Battey, Mr.

these cases each of the gentlemen will
he accompanied to the island by the
members of his family.
The hotels on the island will open
for the summer Sunday. The man
agement of Hotel Tybee announces
that an orchestra has been engaged in
New York, and is now on its way to Sa-
vannah, and that. beginning Sunday,
there will be the customary concerts
and music for dancing, as has been

SUIT FILED AGAINST

Tefft-WiIler Co. Asks Judgment
Against Metzger q BrunsOn.
A claim for the exempt property set
aside for the individual members OF the
firm of Metzger & Brunson was filed
yesterday with Clerk Carr of the Su-
perior Court.
The suih was filed by the Teff-Wil-
Ter Company. through Garrard & Mel
drim, and Mr.. Jacob Gazan. They ask
judgment against the homestead eX
emptions of the individual members of
the firm, and that a receiver be .,p-
pointed to take charge of the money.
According to the allegations a debt
for &.5T1.29 was contracted by Metz
ger Brunson. At the time the debt
was made the members of the firm
gave as security all their assets, wdiv-
ing all claims TO homestead eXsmp-
lions.
Since that time the firm has been
adjudged bankrupt. and a homestead
exemption set aside. To each member
of the firm property to the value OF
$1,000 has been set aside. This is now
in the hands of Mr.. George S. Hailes.
the trustee in bankruptcy.
An interesting feature of the case
was that at the time ii was fled Mr..
w. P. Brunson, one Of the memners
of the firm, was sitting on the jury in

ANOTHER SUIT AGAINST
ELECTRIC COMPANY
As n Result of the Breaking of
Trolley Wire.

With the clerk of the Superior Court
yesterday another suit was filed against
the Savannah Electric Company, as a
result of the accident on East Broad
street last March. The plaintiff in
the last suit to be filed is Caroline Cas-
sells, and damages in the sum of $1,000
are asked.
The story of the accident as set forth
in the petitioners complaint is similar
to that of the other cases. The fash
ing of the electricity is alleged to have
been sufficient to inspire terror and
fear of death, and furthermore the con-
ductor is alleged to have jumped from
the car and advised the passengers to
do so. do you want to sit here and
burn up? Jump" Are the words the
complainant says he used.
When the petitioner jumped she
broke her left arm. severely bruised
herself about the face, head and ooly,
and was otherwise injured. The suit
was filed by Mr.. w. N. Clark and
Garrard & Meldrim.

with a parade. The company some
thirty strong, assembled at the ar
mory in the afternoon. and, preceded
by Middleton's Band, marched through
the principal streets and then to The
Park Extension. They then returned
to the armory where refreshments were
SeVed.
1t has been the custom of Col Alex

pany at his home on each anniversary
of its organization. but this was made
impossible this year because of his alb
sence from the city. 1t was through
his generosity, however, that the mem
bers of the company received the re-
freshments that followed the parade
The company is in good condition, hav-
ing large enlisted strength, and it
presented an unusually neat and sol
dierly appearance during the march.
The annual prize drill of the or
ganization will be given May 81. and

STAR WITNESSES
WERE ALL FINED.
Absent from city Court when Names
Were Called.

For failure to appear in the City
Court when ordered to do so through
the proper channels, Barrel Collins was
yesterday morning fined $40, with an
alternative of two months in jail by
Judge Norwood. Two old negro women,
jamie Robinson and Patsy Green. were
each fined 81 with an alternative Of
one week in Jail, by Judge Norwood for
the same oftense.
The three witnesses were desired In
the case of Rebecca Brock against Mr..
r. ". Adams, suit seeking 10 re
cover $1,000 for alleged injuries. When
the names Of the witnesses were called
late on Wednesday afternoon they did
not respond. As result the case went
over until yesterday.
In the meanwhile the deputy sheriffs
of the City Court got busy and the
three We're arrested.
Collins stated that the reason he was
not present was because he had be-
come confused regarding the date on
which he was to be on hand. The
case had originally been set for May
!, but had gone over for one week.
The old negro women, neither OF
whom can read nor write, went to him
for advice. He told them not TO Wor-
~. as when the court wanted them
again that they would get another sub
poena With supreme confidence they
had gone about their daily duties, OBJ
livious of the majesty Of the law.
The actions of the two old colored
people We're highly amusing. Judging
from their appearances and their con-
slant trembling, they expected nothing
less than hanging for their offense.
They were constantly mumbling and
praying for mercy, and assured the
court time and time again that they
meant no harm.
The taking of evidence was conclud-
ed late yesterday afternoon, and, after
argument by counsel, the case was
given the Jury

Mr.. KEH0E SAYS LAND
Is PART OF STREET.
Claims Council Committee Never
Reported on Trade.


Mr.. William Kehoe, who is interested
in the fight between the city and the
gas company in regard to the land on
Reynolds street. says the land is real
ly part of the public street.
He states further that there is no
record of any report from the commit
tee that was appointed years ago to
exchange some city land for some of
the gas company property. Notwith
standing the absence of a report, an
official map soon afterwards appeared.
In speaking of the fight that is now
on. Mr. Kehoe said yesterday:
I'm the early sos there was a COM
mittee of Council appointed, with
power to act, to confer with the gas
company. in order to allow them to
close up Reynolds and Wright streets.
The committees report is not on rec
Crd, but an official map of the city
appeared a short time after. and show
ed that this lot was No. Is, Trustees
Garden, and fronted on the street as
diverted east
"All the official maps of the city
of Savannah up to this time show the
same front to this lot, including Mr..
Howard's historical map. The gas COM
pany in this deal got vastly more land
in closing up Reynolds and Wright
streets than they gave to the city.
Il only ask that none of this land
known as public street for over fifty
years be given, so as to cut me off
from access to the street and TO my
wharf property.
mo one claimed that this lot did not
front on the street until last August,
and no one returned any part of the
street for taxes from the time the gas
company gave it up to the city in eX-
change for over fifty years"
