POLICE MAKE A RAID
ON NEGRO CRAP SHOOTERS

A squad of police, under Assistant
Chief Wilchar, made raid on a
bunch of negro crap shooters early
Sunday morning, and while the raid
was a well-planned one, some of the
negroes succeeded in making their es-
cape.
The game was in progress in one
of the small shanties in the rear OF
the city hall The officers quietly en-
tered the house and some intensely
interested were the participants In
the come seben come eleben" game
that they did not see the officers stand
ing over them while the game was in
progress. However, when the officers
were observed a lively scene fol
lowed, and two of the negroes
made their escape, while the Others
were locked in the county jail and
will await trial at the next session
of the city court.

NEW CARS ARE
ORDERED BY The
LOCAL CAR LINE
RUSH ORDER SENT IN FOR SUP
PLY OF HANDSOME SUM-
MER CARS.
They Are Being Built by Philadelphia
Concern and Will Probably Be Here
Ready to Go Into Commission on
June 1.

New summer cars for the City and
Suburban Railway company will be
in commission as quickly as the j.
G, Brill company of Philadelphia, can
turn olt the cars and get them to
Brunswick.
This will be pleasant news for the
many patrons of the street car cCm-
pany, who feared that the same cars
now in use would be operated during
the summer, and, although the pres
.ent cars are combination summer and
winter cars, new ones, of the regu-
lar summer type, have been ordered
and will replace the old ones as soon
as they arrive in the city.
In many instances, the new cars
will be the same as the ones now be-
ing operated by the company, that is
they will be of the pay s-you-enter
design, with front and rear entrances,
instead of side entrance, as is Gus
tomary with most summer cars, but
they will be larger, better ventilated
and more comfortable for the summer
traffic. The new cars will be forty
feet in length, while the ones now op-
Grated are only thirty-two feet, they
will be of the very latest design, made
by one cf the best-known electric
car manufacturing companies in the
country, and are being built especially
for the local concern.
With the addition of these new cars
the Suburban will be in position to
care for the heavy summer business
which the company is anticipating
and, whenever there is q special rush
the old cars will also be operated, thus
doubling the service. Extra cars will
of course, be needed whenever there
is a baseball game or other attraction
and the company will be amply pre-
pared to handle any extra crowd.
As stated, the order for the cars
has been in for some time and they
will be turned out as rapidly as posi-
bile. The company expects to have
them in operation by June L.

POLICE FOLLOW
CAR THIEVES BY
4 BUGGY TRACK
BROKEN PLACE IN TIRE LEADS
TO A..EST OF QUINTETTE
OF NEGROES.
Entered A., 3. G. A. Freight Car and
carted Away $50 Pounds of Bacon.
1t Was Recovered in Small Negro
Store-Gopd Work of Local Police.

| By a clever piece of work on the
part OF two or three members of the
brunswick. police force, five negroes
are confined in the Glynn county Jail,
| and it Is believed that they have
| been implicated in a number of rob-
| berries committed recently, more es-
pecially the robbing of loaded box
cars, which has been quite frequent
| here of late.
The live negroes arrested were AL
bert Tison, Oliver and John Andrews.
Jim Pointsort and Alex Gadson. The
latter two are being held more as wit
Inesses, although it may develop that
they were implicated in the r-5bery.
Early Sunday morning it was dis
covered that an A., B. & A. box car,
which had been loaded by the Down
ing company Saturday and placed on
the Cochran avenue sidetrack, had
been entered and $50 pounds of ba-
con stolen. The case was Immediately
reported to the officers and an inves-
tigation followed.
Used Rubber Tire Buggy.
Had it not been for the fact that
the negroes used rubber tire buggy
with which to cart away the bacon, it
is hardly probable that they would
have ever been discovered. The po-
lice, after going to the box-car, no
tlced the tracks of a rubber-tire bug
gy There appeared break in the
tire on one of the wheels. and this
imperfect piece OF tire would print
plainly on every turn OF the wheels.
Following the buggy tracks for about
an hour the officers finally landed the.
thieves. The tracks lead to a store at
the corner of Fl and Albany streets,
conducted by the two Andrews me-
groes. From there it was tracked to
Oglethorpe street, where the negro
Tlson was arrested. The officers then
returned to the store and found the
800 pounds of bacon, and later the
other four negroes were arrested.
1t develops that at this store bacon
has been retailing at II 1-2 cents per
pound, while dealers who are retail
ing 1t at % cents and higher are
making very small profit. The un-
usually low price at this one store is
now accounted for, and several rob-
berries reported recently, of bacon and
other goods, is charged to the negroes.
Tison is a sWitchman in the local
railroad yards and is thought to be
the leader i'll the robberies. All of the
negroes are being held under heavy
bond and they will he given prelim-
mary hearing before Justice Lambright

CITY REFUSES To
PAY PAVING BILL
ALAWsU|T NEXT?
PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE REM
DER-o REPORT TO COUNCIL
LAST NIGHT.
Augusta Concern Failed to Live Up
to lis Contract, Says the Commit
tee, and Therefore Recommends
That the Bill Not Be PAID.
styh@

At a meeting of city courcil last
night, the committee of public works,
which has in charge the bill Cf the
Georgia Engineering company, OF Au-
gusta, for the paving of Newcastle
street, from gloucester to Manstie4u
submitted a report recommending that
the bill be not paid, which, it is now
believed means that law suit will
, follow, unless the paving company
will come to the terms OF the commit
tee and accept compromise sum for
the work.
The committee reported adversely
on the bill for two reasons, first, that
the contracting company, in the work
of laying the paving, did not cCme up
to the specifications; in other words,
| the work was not done as required by
! the contract; and second, because,
| when it was seen that the provisions
of the contract were not to be carried
| out, the committee so notified the Au-
gust company, several letters being
| exchanged, with the result that tIe
company contended that the WORK had
been done according to specifications
! and refused to any agreement as IL
the completion of the wor1 and the
payment of the money.
Just what steps will now 5a taken
/ by the company is not kaowh, but
it is more than likely that suit will
/ be filed and legal fight will be the
result.
The report in full, as su united by
the committee and adopted by council
is as follows
Brunswick, Ga, March 2S, 1910.

/ of the City of Brunswick
Gentlemen: Your standing commit

upon investigation thereof and witt
the assistance Of your city engineer
and director of public works, fount
that the contract for curbing and paw
ing a portion of Newcastle street by
the Georgia Engineering company, hat
net been performed and the work done
as required by the contract of the
Georgia Engineering company.
{ .2-Attempted then by correspon-
dence with the Georgia Engineering
company, to prevail upon that COM
,pany to complete the work in accord
ance with the contract and specitica-
tions therefor, and for that purpose
exchanged several letters with tha
company, with the result that the
Georgia Engineering company con
tends that it has performed its con
tract, and the committee was there
fore unable to reach any agreemen
with that company as to the finish
ing of the work and the payment o
the bill.
| 3-YOur committee therefore at
taches the bill hereto and recommend!
that it be not now paid.

Iden when the animals were just
getting up for the day? Probably
you have not done so, because IT is
usually not possible to enter the zoo
grounds at that time. Only the keep
ers are expected to be present then, and
so the outside public misses a very
amusing spectacle
OF course, the animals have no regu-
lar getting up time as have people
They rise whenever they want to-
usually at the srst crack of dawn, and
are wide awake and longing for
breakfast long before the keepers go
on their rounds. The advantage that the
animals have over human beings is
that 1t is perfectly possible for the ami
mails to go to sleep at any time of the
day when they feel inclined; So natur-
ally. they do not mind getting up early
Still, although there is no regular get
ting up time for the zoo animals, there
is a regular time for their cages to be
swept out and cleaned and their beds
to be made. Their own toilets are
made at the same time, and then all
clean and fresh and ready to receive
visitors, they are at liberty to eat their
breakfast and go to sleep again as soon
as they desire.
Early morning in the elephants
house is a rather damp occasion, for
the big beasts have the hose-turned on
them every morning before opening
hour, and with one grand swirl and
flourish OF water their rooms are
cleaned and their own toilets made in
short order The big fellows always
take part in the cleaning themselves.
and the keeper often has quite a good
deal of trouble to keep them from
snatching his broom away the moment
he puts it down. After the elephants
bedroom has been swept out the hose
is turned on and everything thoroughly
cleaned out; then fresh hay is put i'm
for breakfast and then comes the bed
making. The bed is made of a lot of
fresh hay every day and while the ele-
phant may take nibble at his newly
made bed, most elephants WON'T conde-
scend TO eat any but the freshest bed
ding. over night bedding won't do at
all for an elephants breakfast.

ercises.
The bear dens are washed down every
morning, and the bears enjoy IL hugely
Generally the keeper takes along

bears seem to love their morning baths
