Prohibition Pays Savannah.

Savannah, Ca, Jan. 5.-Despite
prohibition that has caused the po-
lice records in other Georgia cities to
fall OFF during 1908, Savannah s
record shows an increase. The total
number of arrests, S,495, is an in
crease of As over 1907. Fifteen
murder cases were docketed-a an in
crease Of one.
The fact that the police court fines
increased to $4,000 from $4,000
for the year before is accounted for
by Savannah's system of dealing with
blind tigers. In each case when the
alleged tiger operator failed to ap-
pear his bond of 500 was forfelted.
About $4,000 was obtained in this
way.

NIGHT RIDERS BURN COTTON.
500 Bales of the. Fleecy Staple De-
stroyed at Russellville.

Little Rock, Jan. 8.-Night riders
are charged with setting fire to the
large cotton warehouse of Wilson
Brothers, Russellville, which burned
this morning with a loss of 500 bales
of cotton, valued at $4,000. Oil was
poured on the bales before the match
was applied and entire building was
a mass of flames when discovered.
Bucket brigades prevented the fire
from spreading to adjoining ware
houses, where several thousand bales
of cotton were stored. One hundred
of the bales lost belonged to individ-
ual farmers, who were holding their
cotton for better prices and had no
insurance.

VARIED OPINIONS.
Some Say Tillman Fell Down, While
&Others Think Otherwise.

VC0cIS OlUcr"1Scs
Washington, Jan. 11.-There are
two widely divergent opinions in
Washington as to whether Tlllman
made good in his defense to-day
That he did not greatly help his case
is believed by the larger number, per-
haps, and some of his friends who
don't believe he has been guilty OF
any wrongdoing or dishonor express
the belief that he did not make as
good a defense as the facts In his
favor really warrant. Others, and
these regardless of political aline-
ment or past opinion of Tillman, in
sist that Tillman has been caught
with the goods; that touching the
fundamental point of using his in
1uence as senator to foster his pr1-
vate gain, his speech was an admls-
sion.
It was noticeable that while, after
Tillman sat down, most of the Demo
cratic senators went up and shook
hands with him, not one Republican
approached him. Soon afterwards
the senate went into executive ses-
sion. Several rumors as to further
proceedings are going the rounds to-
night. One is that Senator'S Culber-
son, Bacon and Clay have been asked
to draft and present resolution for
an Investigation Of Tillman, which
Tillman in his speech demanded.
Tillman did speak to several OF ms
friends about this, it is understood, 1,
but some of the Republican leaders
have been heard to declare that any
investigation would be opposed on
the ground that the senate has al
ready before it all the facts in the
case. Senator Clay is already on the
approximations subcommittee to look
into the presidents use of the secret
service.
It has been many day since there
has been as great an interest in any
congressional speech as this one.
Only about one-third of the crowd
that went to the capitol were able to
get into the chamber, although, every
available space, aisles and all, was
packed.
Tillman has been at work on the
speech for several days and Tor
about the first time since he has been
here he shut out all visitors from MS
office several hours before he entered
the senate. Since it was announced
that he was to speak a number OF
telegrams have come to him from all
parts of the country. Among them
were the following:
