new million dollar hotel for Char
lotte, the stockholders of the Cit
liens Hotel company here tonight in
annual meeting voted unanimously
to proceed with the erection OF the
hotel.
Expected opposition on the part Of
a small number of subscribers, some
of them subscribers of large amounts,
did not materialize. Objection by
some of the subscribers to the site
selected for the hotel has been ex-
pressed.
The report of President j. H. Lit
tie of the hotel company showed
that by waiting until now the aver
age cost per room of the new hotel
would be only about $4,000 where
as it would have been about 5000
per room when the peak of high
prices existed about last August.
Plans for proceeding with the build
ing are expected to be complete soon.

CORN SYRUP SOLD
TO BOOTLEGGERS.

10 BOOILEGGEfS.
Tampa, Fla, Jan. 1.-THE low
market price for cane syrup and the
over-production of sugar cane and
Sorghum is responsible for a boom
in the moonshine liquor industry in
several sections of Florida, according
to A. L. Allen, Federal Prohibition
Director for this state.
Last year our farm crops were
small, except the cane crop, which
was larger than usual" said Mr..
Allen. Zone year ago this month cane
syrup was selling at so gal
lon. This year, with double the
crop, people in West Florida have
told me they are offered only thirty
five and forty cents a gallon for their
syrup.
MANY of these people in those
circumstances have found the part
ing of the ways and have sold their
syrup to a bootlegger neighbor or
have used it themselves in making
moonshine. Only three gallons of
syrup are necessary to make a quart
of liquor. The market value of the
syrup is $1.05 to $1.2O while the
quart of moonshine will sell for
SIS or S."

Chancellor Wolcott, in the Court Of
Chancery, today, heard testimony in
the case of Joseph Kelley against w
d. Phillips. Robert G. Harman was
solicitor for the plaintiff and William
S. Hilles for the defendant.
The plaintiff asked for an order re-
quiring the respondent to remove a
fence from Bayard avenue. between
Lancaster avenue and Second street.
and to cease from otherwise obstruct-
ing the street bed. This section Of
Bayard avenue extends 267 feet from
south TO north, and is so feet wide.
The plaintiff alleged that purchas-
ing real estate along Bayard avenue
gave the purchasers the. presumed
right TO use the street. The respon-
dent said he had purchased the street
bed from heirs of a former owner.
after the city had refused to accept
the street because it had not been
brought to a proper grading. Hear
ing of the case will probably take

BRUNO
IS KILLED WHEN
CRANE TURNS OVER
Life Crushed Out in a Peculiar
Garage Accident at Noon
Today.
SAMUEL SOlNECK INJURED

One man was instantly killed,
one was badly hurt and several
others had a narrow escape from
possible fatal injuries today about
noon when heavy travelling
crane In the garage OF the White
Company, on French street Just
north Of Eighth. overturned in one
OF the most peculiar accidents re-
corded in this city for sometime.
The dead man is:
Pasquale Bruno. aged about 80 years,
who lived at Sixth and Scott streets.
He was married. but had no children.
His skull was crushed and death was
instantaneous.
John Monroe. 224 Seventh avenue: !:
NJ. ]. Denny, Elsmere. and Henry
Smart, 1920 West Fourth street. were
near the crane when il fell, but all
escaped injury.
The injured man is Samuel Solneck

quick action he saved a fellow work
man from serious injury. if not death
by showing him out of the path of the
toppling crane which killed Bruno
Bruno was a truck driver in the en-
ploy of Stanley Tobassio, who has a
quarry near Holly Oak He was on his
way to this city about noon when
something went wrong with the steer
ing gear and the machine locked.
AS he was unable TO guide the heavy
truck he had TO summon help and the
machine was taken TO the White Co. s
garage for repairs. The entrance to the
garage is off French street, up an in
cline. and to reach the main floor a
car has TO make q turn at the top OF
this incline. Bruno got the machine
up the incline, but because the steer
ing gear was locked and the front
wheels could not be turned. the car
could not be gotten around the curve
under its own power.
The garage Is equipped with a trav-
cling crane, to facilitate the handling
of damaged cars, and this was brought

ing to lift II around the turn into the
main repair part of the garage. After
the hook had been made fast to the
front of the truck someone released
the brakes that were holding the truck
which still stood on the incline.
Once the wheels were freed the biz
machine started backward down the
incline toward the street. The weight
was such that 1t pulled the crane over
and the latter fell among the several
men who were standing about the front
of the truck. Bruno, apparently, re-
ceiyed the fun weight of the crane or
the head. for his skull was crushed
and he was dead when picked up.
Thinking there might still be life
lin the body, he was hurried to the
Delaware Hospital in an automobile
Later the body was removed to the
morgue. Solneck was suffering from
bruises about the head and back, but
was able TO go to his home. None OF
-te others in the garage was hurt.
