Curious Prizes Offered

Bruce Strowd will open his
new garage to the public Sat
urday,. February 1.-TWO weeks

Will Discuss Bus Parking

With the rapid increase in
the number of automobiles, the
main street Of the village, be-
tween the post-office and Colum-
bia street, has become seriously
congested. At it's next meeting
the board of aldermen will con-
slider, particularly, the use of
street space for the storage"
of public cars-the big busses
and the touring cars that ply
for hire both locally and be-
tween Chapel Hill and Durham.
It may be that there will be en-
acted some ordinance requiring
that they be kept on other
streets, or on less crowded parts
of the main street, except for a
few minutes just before their
scheduled departures.

Will Talk on Ku Klux
Hamlet and Bailey Will Argue fOE
and Against

Josiah W.. Bailey will de-
nounce the Ku Klux Klan and
DR.. w. A. Hamlet will extol
it before audiences in Memorial
Hall. DR.. Hamlet will speak
Friday evening, January 80,
at $3.50 P. M, and Mr.. Bailey
Friday evening, February 6, at
the same hour.
These speeches will be de-
livered at the instance, and un-
der the auspices, of the Di Sen
ate. The historic Di Society,
one of the University's two de-
batting organizations, decided
not long ago that it was getting
to be dull and was not playing
as important part in the Univer-
sity as it should. 1t changed
its name to Di Senate and set
out-in the phrase of the stu
dents-to put some pep" into
its activities. The first step in
the program of enlivenment is
to arrange this argument be.
tween a foe and an adherent OF
the Klan.
DR.. Hamlet is the editor OF
the Kourier Magazine, the ma.
tional publication of the knights
of the Ku Klux Klan. Before
he assumed this position he was
a minister and lecturer.

Graveses Were Badly Hurt

Ralph H. Graves, native of
Chapel Hill and alumnus of the
University, and Mrs. Graves
were seriously-but, as it turn
ed out,not dangerously-injured
in an automobile accident in a
suburb of Washington a few
days ago. They were about to
step into a taxicab standing be-
side the curb when a car, speed
ing downhill, smashed into
them. Both were taken to the
Emergency Hospital. 1t was
found that Mrs. Graves's leg
had been broken, and she will
have to stay in the hospital
from two to three months. Mr..
Graves suffered no broken bones
but was bruised painfully in sew
eral places. He writes to men,
bers of his family here that he
expects to go back, before long,
to his desk at the Doubleday
Page offices on Long Island. Mr..
Graves graduated from the Uni
versity in 1897, and for two
years after that, until he went
to New York in 1899, was the
University librarian. Mrs.
Graves was Miss Frances Grif-
fifth of Charlotte.

STREET PROBLEM
PUZZLES BOARD
Aldermen Are Asked to Build
Streets through New Home
Development
WHO WILL PAY FOR EN-?

The building of streets
through the Pritchard Field de-
velopment, along Rosemary and
Church streets, presents knot
ty problem for the Chapel Hill
aldermen. The board will dis
cuss the matter at it's next meet
ing.
More than two years ago W.
N. Pritchard split up into lots
several acres of his place, and
sold them off at auction. The
layout showed streets running
through the tract, but these
streets were never officially a.
dopted by the town authorities.
They do not exist officially and
legally, but only on the map used
in the sale. Now homes have
been built, and the home-owners
want the town to do grading and
surfacing and draining-that is,
to build real streets.
The question is: who shall pay
for them? Is the town obliga-
ted to stand the cost? Or shall
it say to the property owners
that they must petition the
board and offer to bear a share
of the cost in the form of assess
ments? The customary course,
when a petition for the construc-
tion or improvement of a street
is presented, is for the town to
pay one third, the owners on one
side of the street a third, and
the owners on the other side a
third. At least 81 per cent. of
the total number of owners on
a block, holding at least 81 per
cent. of the total frontage, must
sign a petition before it can be
approved and the costs assessed.

DR.. Webb's Bigger Job
His Territory Now Includes all the
Southern States

DIR. Louis Webb, son of Mr..
and Mrs. ]. D. Webb, who has
been in the service of the Uni
ted States Veterans Bureau for
several years, has much more
territory to look after as a re-
suit of a recent order by the
government in Washington.
For the conduct of the bureau
activities, the government has
divided the country into four
parts. The Southern subdivi-
sion takes in all the states from
North Carolina to the Mexican
border, including Tennessee,
Oklahoma, and Texas; and DIR.
Webb has been appointed medi-
cal control officer for all this
vast area.
His headquarters are still in
New Orleans, but his duties
take him all over the South. An
official trip to North Carolina
last week enabled him to come
to Chapel Hill Saturday and
stay with his parents for the
weekend. He left Monday for
Memphis, Tennessee.

BANK IS NOW SECURE AND INTEREST CENTERS
ON QUESTION: "WHAT BECAME OF THE MONEY!

Immediately the shortage be-
came known to them, the three
Andrews brothers-Homer,
Clyde, and Charles-came for
ward and offered to turn over
all they had toward making up
the loss.
Vernon Howell, the president
of the bank, heard of the discov-
ry of the shortage at about nine
o'clock in the evening. He found
that, over and above the amount
for which the assistant cashier
had been bonded ($5, ,0O0), and
the total that the three brothers
could put up, there remained
still several thousands to be OBJ
tanned in order to cover the loss.
The early hours of the night
he spent. in gathering together
deeds and other documents, his
own personal property, that
would serve as collateral, and in
executing mortgages upon them.
At five o'clock in the morning
he and w. S. Robertson and Ho-
mer and Charles Andrews went
over to Durham, and at about
breakfast time called upon Pres
ident Holloway of the First Ma
tional Bank. The required a.
mount of money was obtained
and brought to Chapel Hill, and
at nine o'clock the Peoples Bank
opened for business as usual
with all it's resources intact. w.
S. Robertson joined in signing
the notes which, backed by Mr..
Howell's collateral, were made
to the Durham bank.
For three days, through
Thursday, Friday, and SatUr-
day, this money that was put at
the disposal of the bank, over
and above what had been sup
piled by the Andrews brothers
and by the forfeiture of the
bond, stood as an advance from
Mr.. Howell. At the end of the
week the stockholders held a
meeting, and the liability was
distributed among them.
If all or any part of the mon-
ey taken from the bank is even
tually recovered, of course the
stockholders loss will be dimin-
ished.
In consequence of the extraor-
dinary and successful efforts
made by those in control of the
bank, it is now in an unusually
strong position with respect to
cash on hand. The statement
prepared by the bank examiner
on Monday shows the item:
Cash, and due from banks,
$99,546.
The Chapel Hill weekly. [volume] (Chapel Hill, N.C.) 1923-1972, 1925-01-22

Now that the Peoples Bank
is safe beyond doubt, the inter-
est of everybody in Chapel Hill,
in connection with the shortage
that was discovered after the
death of Ralph Andrews last
week, is concentrated upon the
question: What became of the
money?
In view of the general knowl-
edge that the assistant cashier
and his family lived with the ut
most simplicity, and could not
have used the money for house
hold and personal expenses, of
course the suspicion immediate
ly arose that he must have been
specializing. With this in mind,
his brothers, as well as Presi-
dent Vernon Howell and other
officers of the bank, have been
seeking to learn of deposits he
might have made in distant
banks, or transactions that he
might have carried on through
brokerage houses in Durham or
elsewhere. But thus far the in
quiries have brought no clue.
They are still being pursued.
This notice has been posted
on the door of the Peoples Bank:
NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC
This is to certify that the
shortage discovered in the books
of the Peoples Bank has been
made good. The bank is solvent
and should have the support of
the Community.
CLARENCE LATHAM
Chief State Bank
Examiner
The esteem in which Ralph
Andrews was held, and the fact
that he had been in ill health
nearly all his life and believed
that he had tuberculosis, tended
to keep the citizens of Chapel
Hill, when they heard of his
suicide on Wednesday morning
of last week, from suspecting
that there was trouble at the
bank. The explanation that he
had ended his life in a fit of
dependency, growing out of ILL
ness, was readily accepted, and
all during the day. there was
hardly a sign of fear on the part
of depositors. 1t was not until
night that the shortage was dis
covered.
This created an extremely
perilous situation. The news
snread all over the town quick
ly, and it was plain that, if the
shortage were not made good
before the opening hour next
day, the bank would surely have
to close it's doors.
