CHATHAM BOARD
BEFORE COURT
Commissioners Called Upon
to Explain

Savannah, Ca, June 6.-There was
a very large crowd present today in
the superior court room when the
case brought by Mr. George H
Richter against the commissioners OF
Chatham county was called. Mr.
Richter has called upon the commits
sioners to show cause why they
should not themselves pay back taxes
amounting to $4,000 which they have
donated to different charitable insti-
tutions and churches within the past
eight or ten years. The commission
ers contend that they have not acted
outside their rights in making the
donations and so stated in their
answer today.
The case procises to be one of
much interest and it is evident that
it will be very hard fought. The le-
gal representatives of the concerns
that have been aided by the county
we're on hand to assist in fighting Mr.
Richter's petition. Judge Charlton
will have to decide the case first and
later the supreme court will probably
pass upon. it. The organizations in
volved include, among others, the
Benedictine College, the Savannah
hospital, the Georgia infrmary and
the Union society, which has charge
of the Bethsada and other institu-
tons equally as well known.

Americus and the Brooklyn Heighls
buildings are to be neat wooden struc-
lures, built so that they may be en-
larged when necessary.
1t is expected that the work will
proceed very rapidly when it is once
begun Contractors will have charge
OF the building in each instance, so-
that the structures will be ready by
the time expected. The completion Of
these buildings will give the city, it 4
believed the most complete and most
accessible school house facilities to
be had in any city of this size in Geor-
gia. Both the Grammar school build
ing and the two smaller structures will
be erected in accordance with the most
approved principles Of ventilation
lighting and sanitation.

CRIMINAL PARTNERSHIP
CUrraR Report is a SCaihiRq
Arraignment

New York, June G. - scathing ar
raignment of the detective bureau of

/ d charge that a partnership exists
between some detectives and crimi-
nails are contained in the third sec
ton of the Curran committee report
on police conditions, submitted to the
board of aldermen today. A brisk
fight over the reports adoption was
expected.
Benjamin Levy" says the report,
who had never been convicted of a
crime testified that at the request
Of officials in the detective bureau
he had often inducted criminals y
commit burglary in order that they
might be arrested. He was strongly
corrobrated by reputable citizens
including an official of an insurance
company, a. merchant and Others
DOugherty Involved.
Levy testified that in one case
Deputy Commissioner Dougherty, in
charge of the detective bureau, gave
him twenty-five dollars with which
to purchase burglar tools and after
he succeeded in the burglary present.
ed him with seventy-five dollars for his
services, City vouchers for these
amounts in Levy's favor were found
in the comptrollers' office.
Deputy Commissioner Dougherts
and others involved were subpoenaea
by use and asked to waive immunity
before giving their testimony THIS
they refused, with one exception, ana
they were not interrogated. Moth
Yithstanding the shocking nature of
this testimony and the confederation
received, the commissioner has taken
no action whatever in the premises.
1t is not surprising that under sucn
lax discipline some detectives turn
thieves
In conclusion the report says the
bureau is hopelessly inefficient AMI
should be reorgauized along drastic
lines

LOBBYISTS
ARE SOUGHT
BY SENATE
COMMITTEE CONTINUES WORK
To Unearth Lobby That
Surely Exists

Washington, D. c., June 6.-Further
evidence of organized efforts of the
anti-free sugar forces to bring pres
sure to bear upon western democratic
senators and congressman to align
them against President Wilson's free
sugar plan were given the senate
lobby committee today by Senator
Thomas, of Columbia, a member of
the finance committee.
He produced hundreds of kilograms
and scores of documents, letters,
pamphlets and newspaper clippings
which he believed showed an organ
lied attempt to manufacture public
sentiment in Colorado, which would
affect the action of it's senators AMI
TGpIe eSelIdtlFeS. ne gave IHS udLneo
of many Colorado towns from which
scores of similar kilograms and let
ters had come and said he had been
informed by some of the signers that
they were practically forced to at
tach their names because of financial
obligations to persons directing tho
movement.
The investigating committee show
ed disposition to go to the
bottom of some newspaper articles
that Senator Thomas furnished, and
learn what forces were at work cir
culating news of the sugar fight. Sem
ator Thomas said he knew the beet su-
gar interests long had maintained
headquarters at Washington. The cam
paign from Colorado, he declared, was
evidently directed and financed by the
interests that would be affected by the
tariff bill, but had been conducted in
an anonymous manner, so he did not
know the real forces behind it.

MRS. SAWYER
CLAIMED BY
DEATH ANGEL
PASSED Away HERE FRIDAY
She is Missed By Wide Circle
of Friends

The death of Mrs. w H. Sawyer
which occurred at an early hour Fri
day morning at her residence on Elm
avenue, was quite unexpected to her
many friends here who, while aware
of her brief illness of a few days only,
had not supposed it of such serious
nature and were alike surprised ana
grieved at the sad announcement.
Mrs. Sawyer was stricken four or
five days ago. Thursday morning her
condition grew rapidly worse, and
absent members of the family were
summoned to the sick room. Most OF
them had arrived when the end came
at one o'clock Friday morning.
During a residence of many years
in Americus Mrs. Sawyer had, by the
gentleness of her nature and many
admirable traits of character, en-
deared herself to many friends wh1
sorrow deeply at her death Ever the
friend of the needy and distressed; ill
the home circle and in her churcn
work, she will be missed by those who
knew and loved her best.
Though native of Massachusetts
the greater portion of her married life
was spent in the South, the family hav-
irg resided at Fort Valley during a
long period of years before moving
to Americus some twenty years age.
Here, as elsewhere, her charm of man
ner and strong personality made for
her many strong and lasting friend
ships
Besides her husband Mrs. Sawyer is
survived by two sons, Messrs. Fred
and Ned Sawyer, and two daughters,
Mrs. Charles Bostick and Miss Mabel
Sawyer, to whom, in the loss of wife
and mother, the sympathy of a wide
circle of friends is extended. Mrs.
Sawyer was a member of the Presby-
terian church. Her mother, Mrs. w.
A. Howe, came down from Allan a
yesterday, accompanied by Mrs. F. -.
Sawyer, to be present at the funeral
exercises.
The funeral services will be held a.

RIFLE RANGE TO SOON
BE READY NEAR CITY
Modern Equipment is Being Placed on the Range Here
Which Will Be Used By Local Military Company

The modern five hundred yard target
range of the Americas Light Infantry,
upon which construction work has
been pushed recently, will be complet-
ed today, and next week the company
members will go there for rife prac
tice, preparatory to the contest which
will be engaged in at The annual en-
campment on St. Simon's Island.
The Light Infantry range lies i'm
mediately next the property of the
Country club, and with the changes
now being wrought there it will be
one of the best in the state, military
men say. The grounds are being well
drained and otherwise improved. The
target lines are set at 200, 300 and SOD
wards, and with the installation of :;
field telephone at each point the men
behind the guns can be quickly in
formed as to the result of the Shoot
ing. The telephone system will be in
stalled next week, before the regular
contest begins. Two or three days
will be spent on the firing line. Tbs

Light Infantry used this range last
summer, and some excellent results
were reported.
Captain James Fort, of the Light In
fantry, has been ordered to report foT
duty as inspecting officer on the Ho!-
ton range at Macon next week when
the military commands of that city
will go to the targets for annual prac-
tice.
The Light Infantry members antici-
pate with great interest the annual
encampment of the Second regiment at
St. Simon's next month. The local
company will attend, as usual, with
about forty men under command Of
Captain Fort and Lieutenants McLen-
don and Hogue. The soldier boys en-
joyed the trip there two years ago
Last year, it will be remembered, the
Second regiment went to the encamp-
ment at Oxford Lake, near AnnistoI
Ala, spending a week or longer there
but the trip to st. Simon's by the sea
Is a preferable one.
