THE MERCHANTS ASSOCIATION.
The New Telephone Rate Came up for
Discussion Tuesday Night.

The Merchants Association of
this city met in regular session
Tuesday night. Besides the
regular business, two matters of
special Importance was discussed
the telephone rates and hotel
accommodations.
In discussing the telephone rate
the merchants concluded not to
make any kick on the price
charged for business phones, but
to ask the company to hold to the
old rate for residence phones.
In reaching this conclusion the
fact that the rate in Raleigh for
residence phones is only $3.50,
Wilmington. So, Charlotte, $1.5O,
and Asheville, So, was consid-
cred. The attorney for the mer-
chants was instructed to fight the
matter out if no agreement was
reached between him and the
telephone people.
Since the destruction of Hotel
Carolina Durham has been in
bad shape for hotel accommo-
dation. This matter was brought
before the meeting of the mer-
chants Tuesday night, and a
committee was appointed to go
before the city aldermen to ad-
wise to see if something could not
be done to secure better hotel
accommodations for Durham.
There is some talk of a new
hotel. but as yet no active steps
have been made to secure such a
place. Now that the merchants
have taken up the matter it is
hoped that soon Durham will
have a nice hotel for the accom-
mediation Of travellers.

Mrs. Holman Denies That She Will
Testify in Thaw Case

PITTSBURG, Pa. January 25.-The Pitts
burg Leader publishes an interview today
with Mrs. Charles ]. Holman, mother of
Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, in which Mrs.
Holman denies that she intends going to
New York to become a witness for the pros
ecution or even as a spectator at the Thaw
trial. In the interview Mrs. Holman says:
Il wish you would deny that am seek
ing vengeance. Never has such a thought
entered my mind. Let it be understood at
once that have not been in New York. as
has been printed in various papers. Last
Saturday night, when l was reported as
having gone east, l spent right here in
Brookline, with Mr.. Holman. Not once
have l thought of going to the trial to de-
mand vengeance for my wrongs, fancied or
otherwise. and l will not be present at any
stage of the Thaw trial. either as witness
or spectator. Ny health is not what 1t
should be, but under the circumstances l
feel that l have no complaint. I simply
want to remark that I have not and will
not discusss this case, but when say that
l will not seek vengeance 1 mean it from
the bottom of my heart. 1t is absurd to
think that / would take such a course"
signed statement purporting to De from
Mrs. Holman, and in effect about as stated
in the above interview, appeared in two at
ternoon papers here today.
To the Associated Press Mrs. Holman as
serted that she had issued no statement.
but added that she had no intention of 60
ing to New York, nor had any thought of
vengeance.
