POLICE TO CONTROL
MAIN ST. PARKING
Officers Complimented for
Improvement in Hand
ling of Traffic

When Chief of Police j. H. Lang
ston asked the City Council Monday
evening for instructions as to hand
ling of double parking on Garnett
street, he and his force were paid a
high compliment for the great i'm
provement in this respect they hav.
brought about in the last few weeks
and were told to go ahead and handle
the situation the best they coulo.
The chief told the Council that if
it was to be required that all persons
pa rking double would be hailed int
police court for handling there, the
city might as we'll prepare for the ap-
Dearance of "some of our best people, "
for he would enforce the law without
fear or favor if the Council said the
word.
There was some discussion of the
fixing of fee of 81 to be paid when
the violators were taken to the desk
5ergeant's desk in the municipal
Guiding, and calling that the end of
it. But the officers were told to use
their discretion. It appeared to be the
sentiment Of the board that leniency
would be extended where a car park
ed double for only a minute or two
for some one to run into a store or a
bank, provided some one were left i'll
the car capable of driving and of NOV
ing the car if it became necessary.
But the police got a nice compli-
ment from the board and renewed
expression of confidence from the
city fathers on their conduct of the
matter so far.

22 Acres to Be Bought for

PROPOSE TO CLOSE
OLD ROAD AT ONCE
Employment of Landscape
Architect to Lay Out New
Portion Of Cemetery Dis
cussed by Board; TO Ask
Commissioners to Request
Closing of Road

Immediate purchase of 22 acres OF
land adjoining the present Elmwood
cemetery at a price of $4,000 for en-
largement of the cemetery was Or
dered by the City Council Monday
night at it's regular monthly meet
ing for September, and an ordinance
gover1>ing the management, maint-
enance and other details of the con-
duct of the cemetery was passed.
The ordnance was drawn after ap-
proval by a committee named at the
last session of the Council in August,
The committee, which had held a
meeting and discussed the matter at
length, was composed of Mayor
Irvine 3. Watkins, Counci1men K. L.
Burton and D. C. Loughlin and Mrs
Alex Cooper and Thomas G. Horner
The money for the purchase of the
new site is included in the 1885
budget of the city, and will be paid
over to the present owners upon pre-
sentation of the deed and its approval
by the city attorneys.
There was discussion at the meet
ing Of the employment of a land
scape architect to lay off and arrange
the new addition to the cemetery, also
of an effort now being made to have
the old Ross Mill road closed, as it
runs between the present cemetery
and the new tract and to have that
road diverted to the old Switzerland
quarry road. Mayor Watkins said the
county commissioners would be ask
ed to request the State Highway Com
mission to close the Ross Mill road
and the mayor and the city attorneys
were instructed to bring that matter
before the county board.
The ordinance is lengthy and gone
into details as to regulations for the
digging of graves, both as to their
depth and the charge for the service
provides a care-taker for the prop
erty and sets up numerous stipula
tionsc. but does not name a price to
be charged for the lots. The Council
hopes to get the work under way as
soon as possible.

Baby Crop Large
For Cooper Farm

Much has been said in the past
few weeks about the high quality
of the tobacco crop grown this year
on S. p. Cooper's farm several
miles north of the city. And high
averages paid for two lots of to-
bacco sold on Mondays market at
tested to it's quality.
But Mr.. Cooper said today that
tobacco was only one of the crops
raised on his farm this year. He
stated that nine babies had been
born there in 1885, and a tenth is
expected in the next few days.
None of these additions was to his
own family, he said, but he wished
that the new babies born on his
place not be overlooked. About 1OO
adults and children reside on the
farm, one of the largest in the
county, and incidentally, one of the
very best. Mr.. Cooper runs the
Henderson and Harriet cotton
mills and also his farm, his family
occupying the summer home there
during the hot months.

Extension Of a sewer plug and the

here for Company G, of the infantry,
and the several units of the 1O5th
Medical Regiment located here, was
voted by the City Council Monday
evening at it's regular monthly meet
ing for September.
Colonel James w. Jenkins appeared
before the board and presented the
request. With him, but not speaking,
were Colonel Hodge a. Newell, COM
mander of the 1O5th Medical Regi-
ment; Captain James N. O'Neil, in
command of the service company. and
Captain Conrad B. Sturges, comman-
der of Company G.
Colonel Jenkins said the armories
would be located at the western ex-
tremity of Garnett street, 300 or SO
yards from the city limits, on large
site to be acquired on the Dabney
road opposite the Taylor comapny's S
tobacco storage houses. Eight acres
of land are to fbe acquired, and the
Vance County Commissioners are be-
ing asked to provide the necessary
S3,65O necessary to buy the land. An
allotment of PWA funds in the sum of
$4,000 for each Of the two armories
$4,000 in all-has been approved in
Washington, and work is expected to
start shortly. A small portion of the
eight-acre tract will be decided to the
State adjutant generals department
in order to acquire the Federal ap-
preparation, but sufficient land will
be left for the proposed development

establishment, has approved the loca-
ton as an ideal one. While it is a
short distance from the city limits,
the property is, nevertheless, the best
available of a number of sites sub
mitted, the Council was told.
The Council discussed the matter
very briefly before voting it's unani-
nous approval of the service request
ed in order to make the projects pos
6ible.

~ the Associated Press.

~ tllO ASoOCldtCA EACoSs
CLEVELAND, December 13.-o. P.
Van Sweringen, who lost his younger
brother, M. j. Van Sweringen, by
death yesterday. is expected by busi-
ness associates to take over the cirec-
ton of operations which had been
handled by the lifelong partner.
Following the expansion Of their
railroad system west Of the Mississippi
River, o. P. Van Sweringen guided
operations Of the Western roads, while
NJ. j. turned his attention to those in
the East.
At the time of his death yesterday
in Lakeside Hospital from hyper
tensive myocarditis, a heart atlment,
the younger brother was chairman OF
the board of the Nickel Plate Rail-
road, vice president Of the Allegheny
Corp, the chief railroad holding COM
pany; vice president of the Chesapeake
Corp, the president of the Cleveland
Hotel Co.
The business associates said today
appointments to fill these positions
would mean no alteration in the con-
troll of the Van Sweringen empire.
Private funeral services for M. j.
Van Sweringen, who was 81, will be
held tomorrow at the brothers Daisy
Hill farm here. Rev. Charles H. Mey-
ers of Detroit, former pastor of Plym-
outh Church in suburban Shaker
Heights, will conduct the ceremony
Private burial services will be held in
Lake View Cemetery here.
Mr.. Van Sweringen had been in the
hospital since october II. Physicians
said influenza was the contributing
factor in his death, induced by gen
eral exhaustion and mental and emo
tional strain"
The older brother and two close
friends. Mr.. and Mrs. B. F. jerks oi
Cleveland, were present when he died
