MAYOR powELL's STATEMENT.
SAYS He Didn't Fine Hickman For Of
tense Charged.

Mavor Powell yesterday paid some
attention to the criticism which the
Raleigh firemen and some citizens have
made of his action in fining Stephen
Douglas, a hack driver, for driving
without a light when taking Assistant
Chief Croker and other firemen
through a binding storm when the
colored Baptist church in East Raleigh
was burning and endangering other
property in that section.
Mayor Powell said to a representa-
tive of the News and Observer yester-
day that the fine was not imposed on
Douglas for the specific offense when
the firemen ordered him to drive on
without a light, but that testimony
had been given by another hack drlv-
err to the effect that Douglas had been
driving without light earlier in the
night. Mayor Powell says officer Con-
rad had also seen Douglas at other
times that night when his carriage had
no light. The firemen feel that the
fine was imposed ON account of the
absence of a light when they were in
the carriage, because it is said no other
report was made against Douglas.
Mayor Powell said that after taking
INTO consideration all the facts before
him he was forced to refuse to grant
the request of the fire committee. The
case has been appealed.
