REGULAR MEETING HELD
BY The CITY SOLONS
SESSION LASTED FOR TWO HOURS
BUT LITTLE BUSINESS
WAS HANDLED,

City council met in regular session
last night and, while the meeting last
eG for almo.: two hours, very little
business was disposea Of, long wind
ell arguments occupying the time of
the solons.
A report was received from the city
attorney regarding a case agai 'st the
city in which the plaintiff, Waiburg,
had secured damages amounting to
500, against the city. 1t seems that
the case Was decided at the last ses-
sion of the superior court and the
city attorney was instructed by coun-
Gil to carry the case to the supreme
court, but for some reason he failed
to do so and reported last night that
there was no further steps that the
city could take. The subject brought
forth considerable discussion, finally
ending by a motion being made that
the judgment and cost be paid and
another that the mayor look into the
failure Of the city attorney to appeal
the case and report to council.

on taxes and revenues with power to

Considerable argument came up
over two ordinances introduced at the
last meeting of council providing for
the paving Of Oglethorpe street from
to Gloucester with vitrified brick.
One of the ordinances provided for
paving the street and the other the
sidewalk. H. F. Dunwody, represent
ing the Mutual Light G. Water COM
pany and the City & Suburban Street
Railway company, and F. E. Twitty,
representing the Brunswick Company,
were present and when extended the
privilege of floor made talks in op-
position to the paving of this street,
claiming that it would work 4 hard
ship upon the companies which they
represent and showing that the street
was not Of sufficient importance to
be paved. The matter was discussed
at some length and a motion to table
both. ordinances was finally made The
aye and nay vote was called for and
the motion was passed on the follow
ing vote: Ayes, Aldermen Cook. Hop

OVER 5000 DELEGATES FROM ALL
PARTS OF WORLD MEET IN
U. S. FIRST TIME.
WELCOMED BY PRESIDENT
Delegates from 80 Countries Respond
to Mr.. Taft's Address-Estimated
Fully 10000 Guests Attending Big
Meeting.

Washington, Sept. %. - Welcomed
some 5000 delegates from all parts of
the world, the Fifteenth International
Congress on hygiene and demography
got into session today. 1t was the
first time in 60 years of existence the
congress has met in the United
States.
Immediately after the morning ses-
sion the congress was prepared to
start, in on the long series of lectures
and discussions which will continue
throughout the week. Scheduled for
today were discussions on the public
health organization and 2dministra
ton in England and Germany, the
hygiene Of infancy and childhood, the
physiology and pathology of work and
fatigue, bacillus carriers and the i'm
portance Of flies and other insects as
carriers of infectious disease, the i'm
portance of shell fish, particularly oy-
sters, in relation to Infection disease
the control of diseases in the army,
the use of hospital ships and the de-
velopment of vital. statistics in the
United States since 1900, and meas
ures needed for the immediate fu-
ture. 'N 4,
In addition to the 5000 delegates,
many of whom have wives and daugh-
ters accompanying them, visitors to
Washington by the congress have
brought the total number of guests
here up to probably ten thousand.
While the object Of the congress is
to extend the knowledge and improve
the practice of hygiene and public
health in all the countries which par
ticipate, it is believed these benefits
will accrue in largest measure to the
country which is for the time being
the host of the congress. That the
state and municipal public health Off
cials of this country attending the
congress will have support outside of
immediate sanitary circles in seeking
to put into efft ct various health re-
forms that will be suggested by the
congress is indicated by the action of
large business enterprises in being
represented at the proceedings.

APPEARS INTACT.
WAS NOTIFIED BY TELEPHONE
Old Negro Janitor Found Big Package
of Bills Wrapped in a Pensacola
Paper When He Went to Sweep Out
Yesterday Morning.

Pensacola, Fla, Sept. 23.-The pac-
kage containing $55, geo in currency
which was mysteriously extracted
from an express shipment from the
FIST National Bank here to the Louis
vile & National pay car at FlolIaton,
Ala, was found this morning at 6
O'Clock at the rear of the bank by
the negro janitor of the building.
NO arlrsts nave been made, b 1T de-
tGcttyes are working on several i'm
portant clues which are expected to
reveal the identity of the robbers.
Nat Thomas, the old negro jan1tor,
at the bank, when he came to sweep
out this morning found the package
CT currency wrapped in a Pensacola
morning paer of September 19, lean-
ing against the iron grating C the
rear door. There is a four-foot wall
in the rear of the building and the
package easily mig&t have been OBJ
served Sunday by any person who
passed there.
Late Saturday evening w. N. Rob-
erts, an employe of the bank, answer
ed the telephone and was told that if
he would look at the rear door you'll
find what you have lost"
Mr.. Roberts said ne paid little at
tention to the message, as he thought
Fit was another of the hundreds of
jokes which friends had been playing
on the employees of the bank since
the robbery.
Manager Peel of the telephone COM
.'ry, and agents of the Burns detec-
tive agency which represents the
bank, are t"ying to ascertain from
whom The Mysterious telephone mes
sage came.
That Tie robber was pursu ii so
closely that his nerve failed him and
lie crept O the bank and deposited the
money against the iron door, is the
belief generally expressed here. An
other theory heard on the streets is
that the thief was cornered bv the
detectives and on promise that he
would return the money was assured
against prosecution. This latter the
ory is not generally accepted.
