There is a certain old German OF

of a nephew, he asked:

COUNTIES CONFER AND
REACH AGREEMENT.
ERECT NEW STEEL BRIDGE
New Highway viii Be of Modern Con-
struction, Built of Sand-cIay and of
Uniform 30-Foot Width, With Proper
and Sufficient Drains.

Winston-Salem.-A meeting to per-
feet plans and select route for the
Central Highway through Forsyth, Da-
vie and Iredell counties was held at
the court house in this city recently
!, by representatives of the three coun-
ties. G. A. Hartman and Attorneys
Grant and Bailey represented Davie
county, J. B. Roach, w. L. Mathison
and r. F. Gather represented Iredell
county, and the highway commission
with P. H. Hanes as chairman, with
many interested citizens, represented.
Forsyth county at the conference. 1t
was recently announced from Raleigh
that $4,000 had been allotted to these
three counties for the highway and
this amount will be increased to $780,
900 by the counties interested.
The route decided upon will begin
at the Guilford county line and run
thence through Kernersville and Win
ston-Salem to the Davie line on the
Yadkin river at the point where the
new steel bridge is to be built, run
ming thence via Pennington to Mcks-
vile, thence by way of Callahan to
the Davie and Iredell line at point
called County Line, thence on to
Statesville to the Catawba line at the
Buffalo Shoals steel bridge. The pro-
posed route runs 26 miles through
Forsyth county, ~ miles through Da-
vie and 26 miles through Iredell.
It passes through all the important
cities and towns of these three coun-
ties and accommodates more rural
mail routes than any other route
suggested. 1t shortens the distance
from Winston-Salem to Statesville
and Charlotte considerably. The new
highway will be of modern construc.
ton, built of sand-clay and Of uni
form 30-foot width, with proper and
sufficient drains.
The highway, of which the above is
a part, is to extend the entire length
of the state. The road is practically
complete from Goldsboro to Green's
boro. Following the meeting Chair
man Hanes telephones the result to
Governor Craig, who was free in his
expression of qualification at the
work done in these three counties.

ALARM CALLS
OUT $50 FIRE men

One hundred and fifty hremen
were called out to face a bitter,
northeast gale, nearly every piece of
apparatus in the department was
hauled from five to fifteen blocks
over ice and snow-clad pavements,
and more than half of the population
of the city are believed to have been
aroused by false alarms, which were
turned in from box 55, at Parker
street and the Lehigh Valley main
office about 3 o'clock yesterday
morning. More than 100 taps on
the fire bell was sounded, and the
fire whistles blown the same number
Of times.
City officials, firemen and laymen
roundly denounced the demoraiiza-
tion of the system by the malicious
mischief-maker, and If he is caught
his punishment may be severe. May
or Ferd Garretson, who was aroused
from his slumbers by the incessant
alarms stated this morning: "a fell
low who would do this is not fit to
be a member of the fire department,
and If it could be proved that he
were a member, l certainly would
go after his scalp" City Electri-
clan Jay B. FRANKIE pronounced it
an outrage, and Fire Chief Paul M.
Woitscheck declared, ut was a nasty
piece for work"
Two Investigations have been
started to apprehend the culprit.
One is being made by the fire chief
himself, aud one by the police.
There is a reward of s25 which the
Board of Aldermen offers for the
conviction of the guilty party.
Firemen Turned in Alarm.
The general opinion prevails that
a fireman turned in the alarms, as
| there were special calls sent in ac-
curately, that summoned every com
/ pany in the city except the Eagle
Hose and Chemical Company.
The mayor was pretty nettled over
the alarms which have received un-
stinted denunciation from the gen.
eral public. The mayor declared
that getting the fremen and appa-
ratus out through the ice and snow

covered streets was to be deprecated,
but the fact that by turning in so
many alarms that it depleted the fire
system and practically made another
true alarm impossible, made the in
tended joke malicious. He compar-
ed such joke to one in which a per-
son would go to the house of wo-
man and tell her for joke her hrs-
band had dropped dead.
The fire hazard caused by the
over-use of the alarm system was
explained by City Electrician FRANKIE
this morning. He said that when so
many alarms are sent over the cir
cults that the mechanism giving the
alarms becomes exhausted and re-
quire a new winding. His assistant,
Jens Jensen, started to wind up the
mechanism directly after the alarms
had come in, but If a true alarm had
been sent in before he had gotten to
the different places, it would not
have been carried by the system,
thereby creating serious fire haz-
ard, according to the electrician.
The fiermen denounce the act as
roundly as others, and some openly
declare that they suspect a member
of the Liberty Hook and Ladder
Company, which had an anniversary
celebration at Massopust's S hall Sat
urday night, which feast did not
end until nearly O'Clock Sunday
morning, according to some that
were present. William Seiboth, sec
ond assistant foreman of the COM
pany, this morning declared that he
went home at midnight, and turned
out to the alarms. He said he die
not think any member of the com
pany was responsible, but that he be
1feved the guilty party was a mem
Der of another company who wal
sighted in not receiving an invita-
tion to the celebration, and sought
revenge. Other firemen say that q
false alarm was turned In following
celebration held by another COM
pany about year ago, and that 1t
seemed that 1t was getting to be a
habit for some companies to end
their "blow-outs" with false alarms.

sary and that the city can do without
them.
The streets and sewers appropria-
ton for this year was $4,000. 1t Is
proposed to make 1t SIS, 200 for next
year. This would make the appro-
priation less than 1t had been in the
past four years.
While the Board Of Health has
asked for an increased appropriation
with which to carry on its work next
year, there had been talk among the
aldermen Of reducing that account
with others. The latest decision ar
rived at indicates that the health ac-
count will remain at $1,000 for next
year.
VIII Rely on Contingent Account.
In the making of budget for next
year the aldermen will consider an
ticipated receipts and work accord
ingly. The contingent account will
be relied upon less than ever before
to help out in certain departments
and every available item of expense
for the coming year will be inc uded
in the budget. There will be reduc-
tions wherever possible.
In speaking about budget figures
today Alderman Clark stated: 1--WE
will do the best we can without fur
ther increasing the burdens of the
| taxpayers. Mr. Clark then referred
to some hobbies which were nice,
but the city might get along without.
He stated that many people had
hobbies as he had, but when the up
keep detracted from the necessaries
of life, he concluded they should be
given up. The fifth ward alderman
stated that this city could not be
compared with Plainfield, Montclair
Orange and some other places In this
state. He declared that it was G
| working mans town and was not as
| we'll off as those places, for which
| reason it could not support the same
] hobbies that they could.

ME- n NEAR DEATH
IN BOAT BLOWN
ASHORE BY GALE
Special to the EVENING NEWS.


Keyport, Dec. 7:-With one of its
occupants in an unconscious cond1-
ton and his comrade SO weakened
that he could barely hold on until he
had summoned aid, a fourteen-foot
bateau was washed ashore on the
Union beach about $50 o'clock Sat-
urday morning.
Messrs. Harry Boye, forty-fve
years old, and Thomas Mcguire, thir-
ty-eight years old, left their homes
in Brooklyn Friday afternoon for a
fishing excursion after ling in lower
New York bay. All went we'll until
night approached and the fishermen
were preparing to make the shore,
which was but short distance away,
when they lost an oar. The strong
northeast gale which was sweeping
over the bay caused big and choppy
waves and this and the darkness
made the recovery of the oar impos-
sible The frail craft with the help
less fishermen was soon carried by
the wind and as the darkness settled
and the lights on the shore became
DINNER the men realized their per-
ilous position at the mercy of the ele-
ments and were almost overcome by
the terror and horror of the ordeal
which they must experience.
Being without a bailer, the water
shipped by the small boat began to
steadily gain as the night passed.
Throughout the night the boat was
battered and knocked about and
many times narrowly escaped cap
sizing.
Had Given Up Hope.
The men had but little hope of
again reaching shore. They were en-
tirely at loss as to their location dur
ing the night and were trusting to
good fortune for their salvation. The
suffering and horror of their journey
was extremely keen.
Thomas Mcguire was the most eff
fected and that he escaped was a
miracle for twice during the long
hours of the night he partly succeed
ed in throwing himself overheard
while delirious and was each time
pulled back in the boat by his COM
panion. Before dawn he had lapsed
into Inconsistencies and suffering
from submersion and exhaustion. He
was in critical condition when help
arrived.
Welcome Sight of Land.
Land was sighted by Boye after
daylight came and the tiny boat, half
filled with water, was thrown on the
beach near East Keyport. Boye, by
final effort, walked to the home of
Joseph Vigne, near where the boat
came ashore, and made known the
plight OF himself and friend. He vas

for aiding the poor of the city has
been swelled to over $500. Contribu-
tions of 500, $50, $25 and four for

some pitiful stories of destitution
and have been impressed with the
necessity of giving aid. One case
came to light yesterday in which a
woman and her small children were
found huddled together in bed at II

had neither fuel or food. 1t appeared
to be case in which the mother was
too proud to beg and herself and
little ones were in bed awaiting they
