trial In Savannah, because he had lost
his.
He was taken to the jail in Jackson
vile, where his counsel asked for time
to produce the lost certificate. Before
the fifteen days had elapsed Wong
Fong IIo was found by Inspector
Stretton with the muchly circulated
certificate 2S0S. Then Long Chang was
served with warrant for perjury, for
having sworn on the Savannah trial
that he was Wong Fong Ho. He was
bound over for trial in Savannah next
November, and was brought here and
placed in Jail.
Warrants were then issued for Char
lie Wong, Wing Kee and Arthur HUI,
three other witnesses who were charged
with perjury at the Savannah trial.
At a hearing Charlie Wong and Wing
Kee were bound over for indictment
by the United States grand jury. But
Arthur HUI could not be found. He
had surreptitiously removed his resi-
dence to the state and city of New
York. Inspector Berkshire caught him
in the metropolis; a commitment trial
was held, and upon his failure to give
a $500 bond, he was committed to jail.
VIII Fight for HUI.
The Attorney General then instructed
United States Attorney Leaken to as
sist United States Attorney Burnett
in the removal of HUI from New York
to Georgia. The result of the trial
which Commissioner Hewlett and In
spector Stretton will attend in New
York Tuesday is considered very i'm
portant, as it will control in many
similar cases.
Long Chang's counsel Messrs. Abra-
hams and Rourke. will probably ar
range bond for him. The authorities
here are not advised as to what Hu's
defense will be in the extradition pro-
ceedings in New York. but it is I'M

SAVANNAH ELKS LEAVE
FOR CINCINNATI.
Col. Robert COIding is Regular
DeIennfa Fran saL

COL Robert COIding is Regular
Delegate From savannah Lodge.
Representing the Savannah Lodge of
Elks, Col. Robert l. Colding left last
night for Cincinnati, where he goes to
attend the annual Elks reunion, which
will be held there Tuesday, Wednes-
day and Thursday.
District Deputy w. ]. Watson, &C
companied by his wife, also left last
night, as did Mr.. ]. M. Sullivan. Mr..
w. L. McGovern leaves this morning.
Mr.. E. ]. Lyons is already in Louis
Vile, and Mr.. James Burreu, another
member of the Savannah lodge, will
also be at the meeting.
AS a badge the Savannah Elks will
wear a blue ribbon, attached to which
will be a miniature bale of cotton, sur
mounted by small negro in the midst
of some loose cotton. A bunch of
wheat in the head also adorns the
badge. In addition to those worn by
the Savannah Elks, a number of the
badges will be exchanged for those
from other cities. For uniqueness of
design the Savannah badge is hard to
surpass.
1t is expected that there will be about
10000 visiting Elks at the meeting.
Every hotel is crowded and it is with
difficulty that rooms can be obtained
in private families. One gentleman
from Savannah has engaged a room
in private family at a cost of SO per
day for the week.
One of the regular features of the
convention will be observed by the
street car companies. All of the cars
will stop at ii o'clock and remain idle

parted members of the order.

vyarv contention of the city was
.nstained by Recorder Myrick in the
sases against Lewis and Leonard Lipp-
sar charged with violating various
.,o+ions of the ordinance regulating
.iokar brokers' in Savannah, and maxi
,ano7 fines of 500 were imposed in
a,cb of the five cases yesterday.
Under the decision of Recorder My
.,,, the law allowing Confederate vet
.rsns TO conduct business without pay
inc licenses is declared unconstitu-
tionaI. as was contended by Col. Gar
7ard. the city attorney.
There were three fines of 500 i'm
rose1 on Lewis Lippman. He was
charged with running the business
without a license, with selling tickets
which are prohibited by the ordinance,
and 7~-n ratfing to make reports to
the superintendent of police.
Given Until Monday Noon.
Leonard Lippman was charged with
selling forbidden tickets and with be-
ing an employee in place run without
a license. The attorney for Messrs.
Lippman gave notice that he would
certioram the cases. Recorder Myrick
consented to give the defendants I'M
nj noon Monday to file bond to
guarantee the city the payment of the
fines in the event the higher court sus-
tajns the Recorder. In the event the
bond is not filed by noon tomorrow
and the fines have not been paid the
Recorder will commit the defendants
to Jail
In delivering his decision in the
cases Recorder Myrick stated he re-
gretted they had first come up in his
court. He did not think the presiding
officer of Police Court the proper Off
Ger to decide constitutional questions,
he said. but the cases had been made
and he was forced to decide the point.
The exempting of Confederate veterans
from taxes is clearly class legislation
and therefore uncons titutional, the Re-
corder stated.
Law is Unconstitutional.
The constitutionality of the law had
probably never been questioned before
the Recorder said, because no lawyer
wanted to take away from some vet
eran the means of earning a livelihood.
The law is so clearly unconstitutional
he said, that this was the only reason
he could find for its having been al
lowed to stand for so long.
Recorder Myrick, after declaring the
law unconstitutional, said such a de-
cision made the conditions the same
as if no such law existed at alls The
cases go from the Police Court to the
Superior Court and will doubtless then
be taken to the Supreme Court.
An effort was made to have the Re-
CorIer suspend sentence except in one
case against each of the defendants
but he would not consent to this. A
request was also made to have the
fines reduced to a nominal sum, but
this was also refused.
