LEM NOT DEAD.
Sheriff Bowen COnverses With Him in
the Saltwater Prison.

y For several weeks there has been a
report in circulation in the southern
part of the county to the effect that
LEM, the man who is serving a
life sentence for the murder of young
Schwartz, had died and made a
confession that he had committed
the crime. Sheriff Bowen saw LEM
at the state prison at Saltwater yes
terday and conversed with him. LEM
mas been sick for year or two, but il
now better. He has not confessed to
anything, but continues to deny the
crime.
Sheriff Bowen placed Miller safely
within the precincts of the prison.
Miller frightened up somewhat and
told the events of his past life to the
sheriff, much as already published
though more in detail. He cannot
hope for parole, as those serving a
second term in prison are not paroled
He hopes to be pardoned in two OF
three years. Miller gave no trouble
while on the way to Saltwater.

More Lights.

The street committee recommended
Uhat an incaudescent light be placed
It the corner of Fourth and Vine
streets.
Aid. Zimmerman favored an in
candescenG light on Agency hill, GU
feet east of Division street.
Mayor Pfau said that a light has
been asked for on James avenue.
Aid Fritz said that a light had
been asked for at the corner Of Pike
aud Cherry streets.
The first two lights were ordered
placed, and the las, two were referred
20 the lighting committee.
Aid. Himmelman favored supplying
each night policeman with a moon
light schedule, to watch and repor'

Mayor Pau reported the settlement
of the suit of the Mankano Lime and
Stone Co. against the city for SloO,
the company to give the city an east
ment so feet wide through block lab,
where Third avenue is located. He
had thought that the city would win
the case, but saw a disposition 10
Withdraw the suit and start another
one. The city would probably have
won either suit in the end, but the
expense would have been greater, with
nothing more accomplished.
City Attorney Pau reported having
received the deed.
On motion of Aid. Peterson, the
settlement was approved and the $l5C
appropriated.

A Good Move.

taken up this winter, and such walks

cOrding to the ordinance. H. moved
that the matter be referred to the
street committee to report at future
meeting. The motion was carried.
Aid. Fritz said that numerous
walks have been condemned and
nothing done to rebuild some of
them. These should be built before
others are condemned.
Aid. Fowler asked why Jensen &
PERKINS, Cherry street walk had not
been rebuilt, as ordered long ago.
Engineer Thompson said that the
firm had promised to do something
soon. The policy had been to have

Two Resolutions Unsigned.

Mayor Pau said that he did not
sign the resolution passed at the last
meeting establishing the office of
j,nitor if the city hall and fixing his
salary.
Aid. Bradley said that he thought
that the council had blundered in es
tablishing the pay of janitor and
poundmaster, at SIS month for the
first, and 800 month for the second.
In case the offices are held by different
people, the janitOr ought to have
more aud the pounpmaster less.
Mayor Pau said this was his idea.
He had not signed the resolution es-
tablishing the Office of park commits
sioner and fixing his salary for the
reason that 1T gives too much power
to that officer, and power that the
council should keep in its own hands.
On motion of Alderman Fowler,
the two resolutions were referred to
the committee on ordinances, to re-
port at the next regular meeting.
The board of public works reported
having received the following bids for
repairs at the pumping station:
Kleinschmidt Bros. ..............S2 1926
Z. Wolff. ............. .......... 24t
J. A Dentinger. 24C

The award of the contract to Mr..
Mahlke was approved.
The health office reported that the
city lookup is clear.

South Broad Street Grade.

Aid: Fowler sp Ike of the grade OF
South Broad street and said that
some interested property owners were
present to express their views.
Mayor Pau said that the council
would listen to "a short and sparkling
speech" from each.
Geo. III. Brewster was the first to
talk and protested against change 10
the width of the street unless the
grade was also changed. The pro-
perty owners felt that they had made
a mistake, but were not pow going to
kick on it. Ee had signed a petition
for the work under a misapprehen
sion. He had understood the engi-
neer to say that the slope would not
be more than one foot in five, where
as it is one foot in four. He would
never have signed the petition if he
had understood how the grade was 60
ing to be. He saw no reason in max
ing a cut on both the upper and lower
sides of street on side bill, making
a canal. He considered his property
damaged by the grade.
Col. VIM. Thomas said that some of
the property owners favor a forty foot
road way instead of thirty-siX foot
roadway. Inasmuch as the lower
side of the street has to stand fill as
great or greater than the deepest cut
on the upper side, the people there
feel that they have made all the sacri-
feed that the7 can be asked to make.
They are willing to defer to public
opinion and have the roadway widen
ed, but they object to raise in the
grade, If the street is macadamlzed
as has been talked of,the grade Of the
street will necessarily De raised.
w. II. Shepard said that his idea be-
fore signing the petition had been
that the dirt taken off on one side
would go to the other side. He had
had no idea t0at the dirt would 20
elsewhere, but $500 yards is to be re.
moved. The street committee had
looked the ground over and seemed tC
think that it was all right.
Aid. Bradley said that the street
committee and many property own
ers had.lo0keG the street over and al
were satisfied with Engineer
Thompson's profile. Lincoln street
is above grade and has never beer
graded. The profile does not inter
fere much with that street. The
committee had taken the stand thai
no change would be made unless
every property owner signs petition
to increase the width of the roadway
This would be necessary, SO that the
assessments can be collected, as I
change would invdlidate the assess
ments. THERE'S no such petition. L
change is made now the matter will
have 10 be gone over again.

'.How best to make a drug store pay"
This was peculiarly interesting subject
to the convention, and that and a paper
ON the same subject by Mr.. Parker were
listened and hearkened to attentively.
Two committees were appointed, one
composed of Messrs. Chears, Merritt and
Birdsong, to decide the afternoons con-
tests; the other, the Board Of Pharmacy
to decide the merits Of papers submitted
by the associations membership. The
former committee was well looked after
in the afternoon, Chears and Merritt
running a race to decide tie for ugly
mans" medal, and Birdsong carrying off
the honors as association dude.
After Mr.. Hancock had made the re-
port of the legislative committee the
question Of place Of next meeting came
up. Four cities contended for the honor,
Charlotte, Wilmington, Henderson and
Durham. Charlotte got the decision.
Messrs. n. II. Graham, of Raleigh, and
w. b. Whitaker, of Enfield, were elected
to membership.
Resolutions of thanks were unanimous
ly voted the city druggists for their at
tcntions, to the Odd Fellows for the use
of their hall and to the contributors Of

Of Durham; Second Vice-President, J. b.
Smith, of Lexington; Third Vice-Presi-
dent, Jas. /. Johnson, of Raleigh. Mr..

elected Secretary, and Mr.. A. j. Cooke,
of the same town, treasurer. Mr.. w. III.
Wearn, of Charlotte, was elected local

DID NOT DRESS SHIP
ALLEGED LACK OF COURTESY by
JAPANESE ON FOURTH OF JULY.
No HOnOrs shown the American Flag
Status of the Dispute Between
Hawaii and Japan.

WASHINGTON, July 29.-There was some
comment here over statements said to have
been made in a report to the Navy Depart
ment by Admiral McNair, commanding the
flagship Olympia, at Yokohama, Japan,
that not one of the numerous Japanese yes
sells in the harbor dressed ship on the
Fourth of July, although both British and
French flagship observed the day by
duplicating every incident of the celebra-
ton of the day by the Olympia 1t is as
serted in the same connection that this lack
of courtesy to the American national holi-
day was deliberate and premeditated in
suit to the United States by the Japanese
and that it had the tacit assent of the
Japanese government. There is nothing in
the report to show that there were any jap
anese ships of war at Yokohama on the oc-
casion referred to.
The construction put on the alleged lack
of courtesy by the Japanese vessels is ridi-
culed by Admiral Crowninshield who was
asked about the matter tonight He char
acterized it as pure nonsense and declared
there was no ground for any such assump-
ton. Yokohama" he continued, lis a
commercial port and there was no particu-
lar reason why war ships should be there"
He had often been in ports where there was
no war ship and he pointed out that there
are many ports in the United States where
there are none. There was no particular
reason why merchant vessels should be
aware that the flagship was celebrating a
national holiday and the dressing of a ship
in honor of a foreign fete day is done at
the suggestion or invitation of the com
mandng officer of the fleet of the country
honored.
