Artillery Punch Is
Barredin Savannah;
It WaSa Knockout

The famous Savannah artillery punch
is a thing of the past
The potent concoction, which has
sent no less famous men than an ad-
miral of the navy and scores of others
more or less distinguished to Temporal
ry oblivion, has been barred at Savan-
nah functions.
Governor Brown brought home the
news today He said the famous brew
was not in evidence during the recent
Hibernian celebration in Savannah, and
the reason for its absence was not hard
to find
They have decided in Savannah to
do away with the artillery punch" said
the governor. Public men need no
longer be embarrassed when approach
ing the flowing bowl The punch with
the punch has gone for good"
According to Randolph Anderson, a
Savannah legislator and authority on
the famous beverage that amounts to
highball, jolt of West Indian rum
and life sized drink of Japanese sake
rolled into one, the punch had long ago
served it's purpose.
1T had got so that they wouldn't
drink punch in Savannah, he said. IF
they did they We're afraid they couldn't
get back to their hotels. So the good
old stuff had to 60"
It is said that one Of the ingredients
OF the punch was champagne, but the
exotic cordials that went to make out
the greater part Of the drink are Sa-
vannah secrets never TO be revealed
But it was something more than mere
punch 1t was knockout

WILL NAB POTTS
AS HE QUITS COT
Police Will Not Consent to
Waive Serving of Warrant
on Him for Staying.

Kell Potts. of Fl East Fifth street,
who killed C. Richard Harper in a
knife duel in Manhattan avenue last
Thursday and who was himself badly
slashed with a knife, will be arrested
on a warrant for murder when he
leaves Grady hospital this afternoon,
despite the efforts Of counsel for both
sides to have him released from Gus
tody and sent TO his home. Potts has
been under guard Of policeman in the
hospital ever since the tragedy.
The police have been notified that
Potts will be discharged from the hos
pita during the afternoon
Attorney Charles T. Hopkins, counsel
for Potts, and Attorney John w. Moore.
representing Harper's family, held a
conference with police officials today
and submitted a proposition for the re-
lease of Potts, To which they said they
had both agreed Chief Beavers de-
clined to enter into the agreement,
however. and directed Chief of Detec-
tives Lanford to 60 before Justice J. B.
Ridley and swear out a warrant against
Potts charging him with murder and
have it served when the slayer leaves
the hospital
Police Refuse Freedom.
The two attorneys agreed to have
the guard taken off Potts when he
emerged from the hospital, so that he
might 90 to his home a free man. At
torney Hopkins is said to have prom

and that is turn him over to the
courts" said Chief Beavers in refusing
to free Potts
When asked if Harper family in
tended to prosecute Potts. Attorney
Moore was reticent The impression
was gained al the police station that
prosecution would be dropped in order
TO avoid further publicity as 10 the de-
tails Of the tragedy and the scene where
ii occurred
When the warrant for murder Is
served on Potts HE will be taken before
Justice Ridley and a date fixed for his
preliminary examination. That his
counsel will make hard fight for his
immediate release on bail there is lit
tie doubt Should Judge Ridley hold
him without bail, Potts must go to the
Tower
Potts was able to be up and walk
about the hospital ward today Ply
sicians say he is out Of danger and able
to leave the hospital.

From the extremes of the city where
the soldiers are already beginning to
assemble a bugle call clear and sweet
comes al intervals and is answered by
the hoarse rattle of a drum. Against
this in all its garish modernity is the
tiny piping sound of an oboe coming
from the tents Of "Boscoe. the snake
eater" and the two headed baby" but
from the topmost point of Coleman Hill
to Review park around which are
f1anked the stands of lemonade vendors,
a scene Of hustle and hurry presents
itself With each passing hour the
crowds grow Already there are $4,000
persons in excess of the normal popu-
lation in the city and before Wednesday
100000 will be within the city's bounda-
ries
1t all means that special trains
and extra coaches on every regular
train from every section of the South
are pouring thousands of visitors into
Macon today for the twenty second an
nual reunion of the United Confederate
Veterans and the annual gatherings of
the kindred organizations. the United
Confederate Memorial association.
Grizzled old veterans who fought for
the South for four long years in the
sixties-this one minus leg, that one
an arm this one bent with age, that
one crippled from an old wound-are
here to revive and perpetuate the mem
cries of their war days Knots of the
old soldiers are gathered in every no.
tel lobby. on the street corners, in the
veterans camp. and at other public
places. retelling their experiences of
half a century ago
Tattered old battle flags are unfurled.
and the old soldiers point with pride to
the bullet holes in them. They tell
of how the flags were carried over the
ramparts at First and Second Manas-
sas through the Wilderness, at Pc
tersburg, UP Lookout mountain, on
Chickamauga through Georgia to At
lanta. in the Mississippi campaign and
the Red river country. And with tear
dimmed eyes they esress the old ban
ners as they recount the last days at
Appomattix.

We sincerely hope, says the Fair banks Times, that President Taft will not avail himself of the opportunity to fill all of the vacancies that occur before he leaves the White House. The president already has made himself un- popular in many parts of the United States and Alaska by the appointment and retention of incompetent officials, and there will be no complaint outside the ranks of republican office seekers if all of the vacancies which occur be, tween now and next March are left for the incoming president to ftll, except in those cases which may require im
 mediate action. We do not believe, like many of President Taft's critics, that the chief executive hes used his position altogether for the advance ment of party interests and republican leaders; on the contrary, we believe he has shown a commendable breadth of mind in the matter of appointments. But it nevertheless is fact that the present; administration owes much of it's unpcpulariJy to the men who have been placed in office since President Taft assumed the reins 0f government.

MARY MANN ERlNG
SUED FOR 100000

NEW YORK, January 5.-The Shu-
berts filed suit in the supreme court
this afternoon against Mary Manner
ing for 100000 for breach of contract.
They allege that in October, 1908, they
entered into contract with the noted
actress for three years engagement,
and that in September, 1911, Miss Man
nering wrongfully, whimsically and ca
priciously refused to carry out her
part of the contract.
Miss Mannering, whose home is in
Michigan, has asked that the case be
transferred from the supreme court to
the federal court for trial. The Shu-
berts claim that they went to a great
expense in preparing for the Manner
ing productions throughout this coun-
try and Canada. Her salary, accord
ing to the papers on file, was to be
$4,000 a week.
