NEW YORK. Jan. 3.-Battered by
The worst storm in the history of the
French line, the steamer La Lorraine

marvellous stories of great seas and II

MAYOR URGES THAT
TAXATION Be MADE AT
TRUE VALUATION N.
Continued from Pa ge ~

Il would advise that the assessors
on their next assessment raise the
valuation on properties TO their true
valuation. This does not increase
the taxes above what they are at
present, but will provide sufficient
funds to meet the necessary expenses
requisite to meet the growing de-
mands of our city.
THE matter of provid ing sufficient
funds to carry On the city govern
ment during the ensuing year is a
problem that your hon orable body
will find great difficulty ia solving, as
you are confronted with a difference
of $26,2 66 less than YOU: %appropria-
lions of last year. This will necessi-
tate a reduction of said. sums that
must be taken from the various
amounts set aside for the different
departments.
For Building Inspector.
81 would again reques t your hon
orable body to consider a building
code and the %appointmer t of a build
ing inspector as there exist many
buildings in a dangerous condition
and many that are being built that
are a to human life.
Pave Streets in Spring.
cat this time l would suggest that
the citizens who desire streets paved
present their petitions to your hon
orable body early in the spring in or
der that work of this character may
be completed before winter sets in;
so that the said pavements can be
laid rapidly and economically and
that all streets be paved with a light
material throughout their extent,
which would add greatly to the APP
pearance of the said streets and to
the beauty of the city,
Money for New Schools.
According to the reports of the
superintendent of our schools it will
be necessary during the ensuing
year to construct one new school and
to build an addition to school No. 3
in order that children of school age
may be provided with the facility for
their proper education and would
recommend that this subject be TAX
en- at once, with the Board of Educa-
ton in order that such facilities may
be procured with the opening of the
schools in the fall.
Again thanking you for your
courtesy to me during the past and
trusting that our relations may be
as pleasant in the future, l will now
close.
Respectfully submitted,

A SENSATION BREWING
Something That Will Startle North
C~aroliniaus - Senator Simmons
Urges Holton.s Immediate Confirma-
fion-Dockery-s Confirmation Held
Back.

Washington. .. G., February Ia
The immediate confirmation OF the
nomination of District Attorney HoI-
ton was urged this morning by Senator
Simmons. who appeared before the
Senate Judiciary committee and speak
ing in behalf of the department of
justice, declared that thu interest of
the government and particularly of
the trial Of the cases now in progress
at Greensboro would be preiudiced If
favorable action should be deferred for
any undue length of time.
the committee was deeply interest
ed in what Senate Simmons had to
say; but out of difference to Represen-
tative Blackburn, who asked that the
nomination be held up. no action was
taken. though the Congressman will
be asked TO prefer his charges at once.
The ominatio of Marshal Miliken
was ordered TO '>e reported favorably,
but the nomination of Claud Dockery
TO be marshal. was held up. 1t is I'M
derstood this action was taken at the
instance Of friends of Colonel II. c.
Dockery, who hope to have the nomi-
nation withdrawn by the President.
Prior to his appearance before the
Senate judiciary committee Senator
Simmons had an extended interview
with Assistant District Attorney Robb,
upon whose recommendation the Pres
ident reappointed Holton. Mr.. Robb
expressed the opinion that the govern
ment interests AID especially the pros
ecutions now being conducted by Hol-
ton demand a favorable and prompt
action by the committee.
The assistant attorney general au-
thOriZed Senator Simmons to say as
much TO the committee.
During his interview at the depart
ment of justice, a Simmons
learned about a certain matter that
has come under The observation of Of
ficials here, which, if published, would
cause a sensation in North Carolina,
the like of which has not been known
something of this matter. declares
that it will be public knowledge in the
near future.-Special to News and

Here il a pointer for the house
keepers. The Philadelphia Record
says:
There are too many h~ousekeepers
who do not understand the art Of
housekeeping. When the maid knows
how to do the homework and the mis-
tress does not, the maid is the mis-
treSs.
That is we'll put. Every house-keep-
er should know how to do house work
as we'll as how to superintend it. There
are two advantages in this. She would
then be mistress of the maid and of the
cook instead of their being her mis-
tress and she would be independent Of
cook or of maid and would not be 30
completely f1Oored when either left her
without notice.

SEPARATE WAITING ROOMS
For Whites and Blacks in Southern
Depot Demanded by Charlotte Al
dermen.

The Southern Railway officials here
have been informed by the city attor-
ney, Mr.. Hugh w. Harris, that the
board IF aldermen will not accept the
changes are made.
1t is cited by Mr.. Harris that the
city objects to the general waiting
rooms for white and colored people
because there is no partition hat sep
arates them. According to the letter
Of Mr.. Harris an agreement was en-
tered into between the board of al
dermen and the Southern Railway
management that the waiting rooms
for white and colored people should
be separated by an actual partition,
work does not indicate that this is
in contemplation.
AS a matter Of fact, the two waiting
rooms are now only separated by a
railing that extends the entire width
Of the room. The white people are on
one side and the colored on the other,
with only a railing between.

been constructed in this wise and so

Slow progress is being made in the
erection of that monument to the late
Senator Quay in the capitol at Harris
burg. Pa. The legislature appropriated
twenty thousand dollars for the same
and authorized the governor to appoin:
commissioners to take charge of the
work. Such opposition developed ali
over the state that the senate hesilates
to confirm the governors appointees.
It is intimated that should he make
the appointments during recess and
they proceed with the matter the next
legislature might order suspension Of
the work or the removal of the mOnu-

HUMAN CORK
SAVES A BOY
Drowning Lad Rescued
by Baron and
Young.

Pete Baron, the human cork, saved
a boys life yesterday in the harbor,
and he also assisted in getting a horse
out of the water as well. About 3
o'clock a Portuguese boy was discov-
cred to be struggling in the harbOr near
the Channel wharf and the pilot house.
A boy on the wharf notified Dick
Young, who recently donned a Customs
Inspectors uniform. Young got mop
and leaning over the wharf got one
end of it in reach of the boy and
started to pull him in. The boy was
about exhausted and fell back into the
water. Pete Baron saw what was go
ing on and swan over to the boy and
succeeded in getting him to place OF
safety.
A little later DR.. Alfred Wall was
driving along the naval park close to
the MYRTLE boathouse and Young Bros.
home. The road over the sand is even
with the sea-waH In some manner the
horse backed and the buggy went over
into the water and the horse was drag
ged in also. Baron went TO the res
cue and eventually got the horse up
on the sand
4 Baron is credited with having saw
Ell the lives of six persons IN the last
three years.
