FAVORS STATE LAW
AGAINST SCALPERS.
Max Krauss, of T. p. A., Says Bust
ness Is Not Legitimate.

Max Krnuss, of r. u. A., Says Bust
ness Is Not Legitimate.
Mr.. Krauss, the state chairman of
the Railroad Committee of the T. p.
A, says he heartily favors the passage
of the anti-scalping ordinances, and
believes there should be a state law
on the subject.
Mr.. Krauss has been considering hav-
ing the matter brought to the atten-
ton of the Legislature for some time,
and this may be done, though not in
the immediate future.
II am against the scalpers," said Mr..
Krauss. Il don't consider it a legiti-
mate business. 1t leads people into
temptation For a few dollars it makes
a person sign another mans name
commit forgery for a few dollars.
"Then to sign a ticket. a person
will probably practice the signature
several times. At some future time,
when that person meets with reverses,
he may be again tempted to resort
to forgery. He may forge something
else, a check, for instance. The scalp
ing business is wrong and l am against
it.
1.-THE railroads would be more will
ing to make concessions, too, if the
scalping is broken up. / have to ask
the railroads a good many favors and
l find they are willing to do what is
right. If we expect the concessions
that Savannah should have we should
do away with the scalpers. In Florida
there is a state law, and l find the
railroads there will make concessions
quicker than most anywhere else.
THE last convention of the r. p. A.
was the first one where we had a rate
of one fare for the round trip, and !
had to give my personal assurance
that there would be no scalping,"

BIG PLATFORM
To BE ERECTED
FOR CORNER STONE LAYING.
COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MET
AND DECIDED ON THIS FEATURE.

Band from Fort MOuItire, on SuIIi-
vans Island, and First Georgia
Cavalry Are to Be Invited to Take
Part in Military Parade at Laying
of Corner StOne-PIans for Enter
tainment of the League of Georgia
municipalities Were Approved.
At a meeting of the Committee of
the Whole of Council, yesterday, at
which all the aldermen were present,
it was determined to invite the band
from Fort Moultrie, on Sullivan's Is
land, to be present at the laying of the
corner stone of the City Hall, which
is to be made a gala occasion.
Col. P. w. Meldrim, commander of
the First Georgia Cavalry, will be
invited to have as many of his
troops to take part in the military
parade. as can come to Savannah on
that day.
The programme for the laying of
the corner stone and also for enter
tanning the delegates to the League of
Georgia Municipalities was approved
as adopted by the special committee
some time ago. Though there were
no changes, it was seen at once that
the laying of the corner stone was
going to be a much bigger affair than
was at first supposed. The military
and civic parade will be one of the
largest ever held here. A marshal of
the parade will be selected by Coun-
afl 10 5l.r l,Y
though the. matter was considered.
For an Immense Platform.
Architect H. w. Witcover was pres
ent during a portion of the meeting to
report on the progress of the City Hall
building. 1t is hoped that the walls
will be high enough by the time the
corner stone is laid to be level with
Bay street, so that an immense plat
form, with a seating capacity of 1,200
may be constructed by merely laying
planks across the walls.
The walls on the eastern side of the
building, where the corner stone is to
be placed, will be high enough by then,
but there is great doubt as to the west
ern walls being ready, as they have
not even been started. About half of
the building, however, will probably be
sufficiently high to insure a large
stand, possibly as large as the Mayor
and aldermen desire.
To Have Visiting Soldiers.
An invitation will be issued to the
officers on Sullivan's Island and the
matter of having the band come will
also be taken up with the War Depart
men. Col. Meldrim has already been
spoked to by some of the aldermen in
regard to having his command here to
take part in the parade. Several of the
companies from the adjoining coun-
ties will be sure to come and others
may also accept the invitation.
All the subcommittee reported
progress. The committees have in
charge the arrangements for the en-
tertainment of the league delegates as
wen as the laying of the corner stone.
There will be about 100 automobiles in
line for the ride to Bethedsa, Isle of
Hope and the Casino. Col. Grayson
reported that the companies in his
regiment are taking great interest in
the prize drill that is to be held the
day the corner stone is laid.
Some few details of the programme,
of course, cannot be taken up until
just before the league meets, but most
of the arrangements have already been
perfected.

COMBINATION PRICES
WERE NOT ACCEPTED
Fire Committee Will Advertise for
Bids for Hose Again.


The Fire Committee of Council, of
which Alderman Oliver. is chairman,
went against combination prices yes
terday in trying to buy hose for the
fire department, and decided to adver-
tise for new bids.
Only two bids were received and
both of these were identically the
same, and higher than the city paid
last year for the same grade of hose.
Bids for $500 feet had been advertis-
ed for, which is quite a large order.
The Eureka Fire Hose Company
through the Andrew Hanley Company
and the Fabric Fire Hose Company,
through the Electric Supply Company
both submitted bids of so cents a foot.
At this rate the hose would cost 81, 800.
Last year the city bought the same
hose for 20 cents foot.
The committee thought the price
too high. The hose company people
say prices on yarn and rubber have
both advanced considerably. 1t is not
possible to sell the same hose now al
the same price as it brought last year,
they say.
New bids will be opened at the ex-
piratiOn of ten days.

FRIENDS OF ROBBERS
BEAT INFORMANT.
Detective Wall Turned Surgeon and
Dressed Boys Wounds.

Richard Grant, negro boy, who
gave some information to the police
leading to the arrest of the three
young negro highwaymen, who were
tried in the Superior Court yesterday,
was attacked by a gang of negro boys,
supposed to have been confederates of
the highway robbers, and badly in
jured last night. He was hit in the
head with a brick and received sew
eral other blows.
The boys mother carried him to
police headquarters to report the mat
ter and there Detective Frank Wall
dressed his wounds. When Detective
Wall got through with him, he had
bandages enough on him to last a
japanese regiment a month. Though
the cut in the negroes head is "a bad
one, it is not thought to be serious,
unless the dressing it received should
bring about complications.

BARRIERS ARE DIVIDED
ON SUNDAY QUESTION.
Meeting of Those FavOrinE Closing
Sunday Held.

Meeting of Those FavOrinE Closing
on Sunday Held.
1t has been decided by the BARRIERS
who favor breaking up the opening of
the shops on Sundays to work secretly
in that direction. A committee has
been appointed and efforts will be
made to prosecute the parties keeping
open on Sundays.
The BARRIERS appear divided on the
Sunday opening question. A number Of
them favor keeping open, while an
other faction favors closing up the
shops. 1t is probable that there will
be several prosecutions by those in ia
vor of keeping the shops closed. The
other side. however, does not appear
TO be at all worried, and says the needs
of the public demand that the shops
be kept open Sunday mornings before
the church hour.

NO CASES MADE YET
AGAINST MELON SELLERS.
Mayor Says Farmers Can't ship Mel
ons and Then PeddIe.

No cases were made yesterday
against the drivers of watermelon
wagons. All of the drivers caught by
the marshal claimed to be selling their
own products with the exception of
some few who had licenses, either reg
ular city licenses or Confederate
veterans licenses.
Mayor Myers ruled that a farmer,
who shipped his melons here by the
carload could not then peddle them
about the streets in wagons. ANY
farmer bringing his own product into
the city can, of course peddle in a
wagon or in any other way he may
desire.
SO far no cases have been made
1T is noticeable. however. that the
number of wagons has diminished
since the crusade was started.

IN EARLY MORNING.
Thief Tried window by Climbing
Pipe on Side of Wall.

The Metropolitan Loan Company. a
pawn shop at Nos. 451-453 West Broad

day morning. A lot of stuff that had
been pawned was stolen, though its
aggregate value was not very great.
The total loss would probably be COW

waited for the goods to be pitched out
