as in Sanctuary Of Chef,
They Declare.

SAVANNAH, July 5.-Preparatory
to asking for higher wages and
shorter working hours, soda water
dispensers are planning to form a
union. They say they are determined
to walk out if other means fail
The clerks say they work for a
minimum of ten hours a day, with a
maximum OF sixteen hours, and that
they do not receive enough pay. They
hold that their art is one that re-
quires just as much skill and knowl-
edge of how TO tickle the palate, as
hotel and restaurant chefs, bakers
and cooks at other public establish
ments where edibles are served.
There are in Savannah about $50
soda "jerl1ers." The majority of them

up something over year ago, when

MANAGER TOO
EXTRAVAGANT
SAYS BRINSON
Builder and Chief Stakeholder Of
Railroad Wants to Gust New

SAVANNAH, July 5.-Because it is

gan, representing the interests of
James Imbrte, the New York fnan-
cier than under the old regime,
George NJ. Crimson, president Of the

ties for the road with the understand
ing that he was to have a voice in
naming the manager of the property.
desires to keep Morgan and continue
his policies.
A conference between the conflict
ing interests has been on for the last
three days in an effort to arrive at
some settlement.
Brtnson contends that if the pres
ent policy goes on, it means bank
ruptcy or a receivership. During the
four months that Morgan has been in
charge the operating expenses have
increased something like $4,000 as
compared to the same four months of
1912.
While Brinson is understood to
have much of his stock in the road
hypothecated. it is equally true that
the notes which this stock was used
to protect will not be due until the
fall Of 1914, and he has until tina.
time to retain control Of affairs.

cial officer of the Atlantic Coast Line,
has returned from Thomas County

Tim Jones, who said they merely want
ed to see IL the train would knock the
rail off, and without any idea of caus-
ing a wreck.
The boys were arrested but on ac
count of their youth, they were not
prosecuted. When their father was
through whipping them, the lads said
they never wanted to see another rail

FORTUNE HUNTER
First Time Here of Popular
WincheII Smith Comedy at
Popular Prices.

THE Fortune Hunter" which comes
to the Academy for a week starting to-
morrow evening. is a comedy by Win
chell Smith. Its types of New York
youth, and the small town folk are nat
ural, human and familiar, and the dia-
logue is full of bright humor, and
touching pathos, all blended admirably
into a story that might have been taken
from real life. SO plausible is the theory
it propounds and natural its working
out by the rules stipulated by the hero's
chum.
At Nat Duncan, the down-and- -out col
lege youth, who has made a failure Of
life when thrown on his own resources.
VIII Deming has the best part OF his
stage career, and into this he intects all
Of his accepted personality. Despond-
ent over his continued failures, Nat
merly had given him between jobs. In
this mood he grasps the scheme his
friend proposes, and goes to a small
town to follow the rules, abandon all
his former habits, live a model life. and
win the country heiress and her fortune
from the local SWANS.
In the surrounding cast there is an
excellent company of players. As the
kindly but improvident old druggist.
Sam Graham, who has squandered his
life over inventions that have never
panned out, Albert Tavernier Is admir-
able. The druggists poverty-reared
daughter, Betty. who wins Nat through
his love for her from the scheme that
brought him there is portrayed by Mar

Neil Burton, the grabbed banker, Blinky
Lockwood; Arthur Holman plays the

'DRAMA BY JEROME
IS POLLS OFFERING
Popular Stock Company to Ap-
pear in "The Passing of the
Third Floor Back"

The most ambitious production ever
made by the Poll Players will be the
presentation this week of THE Passing
of the Third Floor Back" the Jerome
X. Jerome drama In which Johnstone
Forbes-Robertson, England's most emi-
nent actor. has been appearing for three
years.
This play is far removed from the
usual type Of comedy or drama, al
though it combines the elements both
to a striking degre. The scene is laid
in q London boarding house. and the
boarders are people not out of the ordi-
nary. There IL the old maid who tries
to keep young by rouging her face and
piling her hair high with false curls;
there is a satyr. the coward, the bully.
the rogue, the cad, the snob, the sloven,
the cheat, and finally the passerby, VINO
regeneration b. revealing to each per-
son his capacity for doing good.
The play Is in three parts, called on
the program the prologue. the play and
the epilogue. In the last scene the
satyr has become the old bachelor, the
coward is a lover, the bully is a hus-
band. the sloven Is an important per-
son." the cad Is IAN entertaining
party" and the cheat Is transformed
into 1.-The lady of the house.
The author has called the play ''an
idle fancy" but 1t is far more than
that, as attested by the sensation which
1t produced when first revealed in Lon
don. and during it's tour of the United
States subsequently. 1t has been play
ed by Forbes-Robertson more than l,UO0
times.
