ALDERMEN MEETS today
Resolution Adopted Providing For
Borrowing Fifty Thousand
Dollars

An adjourned meeting OF the
Board of Aldermen was held at IL
o'clock this morning for the purpose
of receiving the report of the finance
committee on a resolution authorz-
ing the city to borrow fifty thousand
dollars for the purpose Of meeting
current expenses to June l. 1914.
Mr. Field, chairman of the COM
mittee, presented favorable report
on the resolution, and in doing so ne
said the city by being compelled to
borrow this amount and to do what 1t
had cone at times in past years, was
not TO be considered bankrupt, as
some were wont to say. The city
merely desired to negotiate tenn
porary loan.
President Marbury suggested 1t
was an act which business often had
recourse to.
Mr., Field, continuing, said the city
owes no more now than it did at the
beginning of the fiscal year. Vi
course. should other street work b'
authorized. entailing any great eX-
penditure of money, the obligations
of the city would necessarily be tur-
Their augmented. The speaker made
sother observations concerning the
city's liabilities, but stated nothEe
to cause alarm or uneasiness. Ee
said he had m5ade these statements
simply in answer to recent unneces'
sary criticism. "We have the work,
he said, "to show for all of our out
lay" He said, however, that the
'city had recently been spenclne
money in excess of its receipts.
The report of the committee wa;
passed by unanimous vote and the
board adjourned.

MAN IS KILLED.
Amos Robinson Shot Down By
Robert Hampton. SLAYER
Makes Escape

Considerable excitement was caused
in the vicinity of Washington and
Jefferson streets about five O'Clock
Yesterday afternoon by the shooting
of Amos Robinson, colored, by an
other negro named Robert Hampton
The shooting took place within the
corporate limits of Alexandria, but
Robinson ran several yards and fell
in Fairfax county, and was virtually
K dead when bvstanders went to his as
sistance. Hampton, with the plstoi
lin his hand, walked slowly away III
the direction Of St. Marys cemeter!
and succeeded in evading the police
who later reached the scene. 1t Is
jsaid he reappeared in this city about
eleven o'clock last night, went to the
house of a coored woman where ne
had been staying, secured his clothes
and said he would not leave AleXan-
dria until he had killed three other
negroes-James Dixon. Roy Craven
and James Young.
| The trouble between the two men
lis of long standing and is SAID TO
have been the outcome OF 1am'ly
troubles. Hampton has been staying
Of tbp hnuse of a colored woman IN
the neighborhood of the shooting
while Robinson had been living IN a
i,house with the daughter of the wo-
man. During the summer the wo-
man with whom Robinson had
been living suspected Hampton OF
stealing three dollars from her. ROD
inson was active in the causing the
arrest of Hampton, but when the case
was investigated in the Police Court
there being no positive evidence
against Hampton, he was dismissed

search of the country south of the
spot where the shooting occurred
but they found no traces of the muir

There are several versions Of the
affair. One story is to the effect
that Hampton brushed into Robinson
while the latter was at Washington
and jefferson streets. Robinson took
offense at this and, it is said, cursed
Hampton and threw bricks at him.

found dead in his room early this morn
ing by his housekeeper when she en-

PASTOR RAPS CLUBS,
LODGES AND SCHOOLS
AS HOME LIFE FOES

The greatest influences of today
which are destroying the American
home life according to Dr. w. w Orr,
the noted evangelist, who has just con-
cluded great revival at the North Az
enue Presbyterian church, are clubs and
lodges, flats, liquor, divorce lack of
proper child training and the great uni
versities of the country. in which, he
said, are being taught doctrines abso-
lutely anti Christian
DR. Orr attacked these influences yes
terday in a sermon before an immense
congregation in the North Avenue
church.
He made no attack on lodges them
selves, but urged that they are a men
ace when husbands and fathers permit
them to interfere with their home life
He said flats offered no semblance of
true home life and that they merely
served to huddle families together like
horses in stalls. After handling the
liquor and divorce evil, he dwelt at
length on the Importance of child train
ing.
Many a man spends thousands Of
dollars and wonderful effort in training
animals, while he pays absolutely no
attention to his children" he said.

Declare That 1t viii Not Save
Life of Child Thrown to
Tracks.

The Georgia Railway and Power
Company is preparing to equip all its
cars with tenders which w. s. Glenn,
vice president OF the company, declares
will prevent a life being crushed out by
the wheels. The Pay-as- You Enter
ears already have been equipped with
this fender ana it will be attached to
the other cars whose construction viii
permit
Critics who have examined this fen
der differ with Mr.. Glenn in his opin
ion and today pointed out certain de-
fects which they say would make the
fender useless in some instances.
The picture shows the manner in
which the fender operates when scoop
ing child from the track.
In the picture the tray (C), which has
been held in position by the supporting
rod OBJ, has been automatically re-
leased 10y the trigger ca, allowing the
tray CO. to fan down upon the tracks
CD. which is nearly flush with the
ground.
When the fender is in its normal po-
sition, the tray co. is raised until the
catch on the supporting rod (B) can
be hooked into the loop to be observed
on the trigger ca directly beneath the
bell. This fender is set by the motor
man by means Of a foot lever, but can
only be released by the trigger (A)
coming in contact with some object.
\ child is scooped up by this tray
brought to stop and the child re-
moved. The fender is then reset by
the motorman
Mr. Glenn said that his company had
examined all the tenders ON the market
and that this was considered the best
fender that could be obtained He
claimed that il was far superior to the
fender which projects In front of the
car and which is used in a great many
cities According to his claim. it is
impossible for child to be seriously
injured or killed by car equipped with
this fender
Critics say this is not fact They
use as an instance in which the fender
would be useless a child lying PROSTATE
upon the track. They claim that the
trigger 60 is raised eight to ten inches
from the ground, and that a siN-Near-
old child, of average weight and build,
only measures five inches in width at
the thicl>est part of its body. Basing
their contention on these measure
ments, they say that should child be
running across the tracks and fall from
stubbng its toe, it would not be touch
ed by the trigger, and would conse-
quently be crushed beneath the wheels.

taken in pit at the Fulton street plant
