Savannah is now quietly making
every effort to secure the Mallory
steamship line, which. II was an
nounced a few days ago, would with.
draw from This port Several meet
ings haye alreadE been held IN Sa'
vannah and every inducement win
be offered the company to put Oh a
regular schedule to that port Just
what the result will be is not yet
known, but the Mallory people have
already announced that they arc
going TO Tampa and it Is not there
fore thought that they viii also op-
crate line 90 Savannah.
A special sent out from Savannah
yesterday on the subisct, says:
THE aas Of the Mallory Steamship
Line viii, On January 1st be seen in
the port Of Savannah for the first
time on regular schedule between
this port and New York if the care
fully laid plans OF the lumbermen OF
the port da not mtsoarry,
Recently the announcement was
made that the Mallory line would not
III future ply between Brunswick and
New York end at a special meeting
Of the lumber committee Of the
board Of trade held al noon lastfri.
day the preliminary steps were taken
to insure flie new line from the port
providing Of course that suitable car
goes Gcuid be raviaad The lumber
men Of course, sanguine on this point
for, despite The fact that there are
1T present two separate lines playing
from the port the service is not now
nor has it ever been thoroughly sat
lsfactory to the lumber interests
here. Fer this reason a determined
effort Will be made to secure the
Mallory Line OF steamships on a
regular schedule from Savannah to
New York beginning with the first
Of the year
"of course the benefit to be de.
rived from thia additional schedule
of vessels from the port are obvious.
IN the first place a fast and satisfac-
tory schedule would be put on the
new line in connecting with the
Ocean Steamship Company and 1t
would not be at all surprising if the
Ocean Steam hip Company would
provide faster and more satisfac
tory service to meet the competition
The announcement from Bruins
wick rcsardiHg the withdrawal Of the
Mallory interests also incorporated
the Intelligence that The "Bee Line"
has leased Two Of the fastest ships
OF the Mallorys, yet while these yes
sells win maintain fast service they
will cater more extensively to the
pa senger service and viii not take
bulky cargoes'' Of lumber as for
merly. This Of course would natur-
ally prove OF benefit to Savannah
with only The regular line vessels,
but II tho Mallory line can be Sc
cured II means the securing Of al
va additional volume Of lumber toI
the port for export Aside from
this fact the port viii be benefited
by an additional line and in briefI
there w.n then be no danger OF al
blockade" in future and the lumber
mon viii secure an up to date and
satisfactory service which has been
something desired fer years
'The lumbermen. however, headed
b. Harvey Granger chairman, are
unusually raticent On the matter sey-
eTal Of them tacitly admitted shortly
after the meeting that an effort
would be made to secure the Mallory
vessels and while an effort was
made to cover up this fact through al
so called meeting to discuss the @car
at the port the meeting
was really called solely fer the pur-
pose Of discus sing ways and means
to secure the new steamhsip line. It !
is probable that the announcement
of this fact win create a mild sen
sation in steamship and railway cir
cles Of the state Another meeting
will be held Tuesday afternoon atl
