COLER LAUGHS AT
RECENT CHARGES

Greensboro, N. c., November 24.-Bird S.
Coler, president of the Borough of Brook
1yn, arrived in Greensboro early. today
from Charlotte. When shown a New
York dispatch to the effect that he had
been charged with alleged neglect of
duty, mismanagement, extravaganza and
political favoritism in selecting subordi-
mates. Mr.. Coler smiled and said
Things like that are always happen
ing in New York political realms. and
this is merely one of the many instances
OF personal political grievances of the re-
taliating kind instigated by spite of dis
appointed and disgruntled small men and
amounts to nothing save cheap notorie-
ty."
After January he said, when my
term as president of the Borough of
Brooklyn expires, I shall take a rest from
Office confinement and spend most of my
time in the south with Greensboro as
headquarters"
Discussing his visit to the south, Mr.
Coler said:
AT present the public utilities of troll
ley, electric power and gas development
at Greensboro and High Point, N. c..
are commanding practically all of my at
tention, but as soon as these plans are
completed the larger plans for interurban
trolley and power development Will be ac-
lively pushed by myself and associates"
Mr.. Coler declined to say that his syn
dicate was Identical with the interests
that are projecting a 200-mile interurban
trolley line from Anderson, s. c., via
Charlotte, to Greensboro, which is backed
by the Dukes. but it is said that the
Greensboro and High Point electric SER
vice, at the head of which is Mr.. Coler,
has just completed an expensive sub
station here. and the wires of the South
ern Power company, the Dukes concern,
have been strung to this station.

MANY TEACHERS |NfTHE CITY
/ ARE GRANTED CERTIFICATES
Trial Period Concluded-Dr. Warner;
Delivers Address-School Notes

This morning the high school stu
dents met in the assembly room to
listen to another delightful talk by
DR.. G. r. Warner. He spoke of the
walled cities of Europe. The walled
cities of Europe are very numerous.
Paris in olden time was walled city
and is still partially walled. The
wall of York, England, was built in
the time of Edward III. York is now
noted for it's beautiful cathedral, the
York minister. Its windows have
some of the finest stained glass in
the world.
Cologne is another walled city, and
is very old. 1t was founded when the
Ubi were ordered from the right to
the left bank of the Rhine. Cologne.
famous for the manufacture of Co
logne perfume, is noted for its mag
nificent cathedral, surprisingly beau
tiful in both exterior and interior.
The Cologne fortress is a fertilization
of the first class. There is a large
garrison of regular troops. An i'm
mense crowd of about 100000 peo-
pie was in Cologne, mostly gathered
in the open space around the CATH ed
raj, at the time of Dr. Warmers visit.
They were expecting to see Count
Zeppelin in his famous airship. How
ever. that day the count was maneu-
vering over the Rhine near by. but
did not come over the city of Co
logne. 1t was expected that he would
circle around the cathedral.
Lucerne, Switzerland, is also a
walled city. Here is the famous lion
If Lucerne, life-siZe, carved out of
he solid rock. This commentaries
the death of the Swiss guards who
lost their lives defending the Tuil-
eies. The sad expression on the lion 5
face is almost human. Here also is
the famous Lucerne bridge, so beau
tifully described by the poet Longfel-
low in his poem, ''The Golden Le-
gend."
Nuremberg is perhaps the most fa-
nous walled city. 1t was one of the
Independent cities for a long period.
1t is now a city of Bavaria. On its
walls are 365 towers, all different
one for each day in the year. as they
say. Nearly every tower has some
popularity. and some story connect
ed with it. For example. one is
called the White tower Young maid

BLOODY AFFAIR TODAY

kieffer, Okla, Dec. IA pitched
battle was threatened for IA time today
following fatal street duel between
Deputy Marshal Gooch and Melvin
OOley, in which the latter was kill
cd. The shooting was u sequel to the
killing n month ago of Homer Ooley,
n gambler, by Marshal Highnote.
Marshal Highnote and Deputy Mar

took the officers to task for the death
Of his brother. RevOlvers were drawn
and Gooch fell mortally wounded fol-

I esque. In one place in Nuremberg
are kept on exhibition the instru-
ments of torture used in the middle
ages, and, indeed, SO recently as the
10th, 18th and Sth centuries. Among
these are the cruel iron maiden, in
which women accused of treason
were cruelty executed, and the rack,
which gradually tore the victim limb
from limb. There are also some hui
morous instruments of torture. The
violinist who did not play well had
thumb screws to pinch his thumbs;
the poet who wrote bad verses was
also submitted to torture; the baker
who cheated in his weight was fas-
tened in an iron cage and ducked be-
meath the water in the river as many
times as his loaf of bread was short
in ounces
Nuremberg contains celebrated
well 800 feet deep; also secret pass
age leading from the castle far out
into a graveyard. All of these things
to the tourist of today are impressive
ly suggestive of the different mode of
living only few centuries ago.
DIR. Warner read Longfellow's po-
EN- on Nuremberg, which well de-
scribes the quaint city and tells of
ocIhS vi thO 5itit Wuo htilltu
to make it famous. Many works Of
art, left by the citizens of Nurem-
berg, show that the workmanship of
their day was far more skilled and
nearer perfect than that of the pres
ent time. DR.. Warner said they did
more with their hands, and they did
it wonderfully well.
The people of Nuremberg are quite
skilled in certain manufactures and
most of the glass. eyes used in the
world today are manufactured in Nu-
remberg.
AS DR.. Warner spoke, he passed
large number of photographs and 9TH
er pictures among the students,
showing the walled cities and the
beautiful scenery of the Rhine.
DR.. Warner is an appreciative stu
dent of history and art, and his re-
marks were made interesting by the
vivid touch which he gave to the
scenes described.

garten department are so much in
